Gordon started the season bad...first game of the season Gordon was 8/25 from the field, 3/10 from 3pt. Hinrich scored 14pts, 2/4 from outside in 25minutes and fouled out. I don't think Hinrich can be blamed for Gordon's failures, since you wouldn't credit Hinrich for any of Gordon's success.
I don't buy the "everybody guarded Gordon" stuff, plenty of times he played poorly in his career on his own, he didn't need any help. That includes the games leading up to Skiles leaving...
As far as Gordon's constantly being doubled...I don't think so...
That is up there with Wade criticizing how Reinsdorf treated "Jordan, Pippen.....and Ben Gordon" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
But it doesn't matter, Dumars has been trying to push Gordon out since February and the Bulls have what seems to be an exciting future. Hinrich is gone to the point of no return. If they can get rid of Deng for a better sf, my plan would be complete. All of them gone, their best days are behind them. But as long as Deng is here, I will root for him to improve and succeed. Just as I did Hinrich and Gordon. That said, Good riddance to those players and the mediocrity that came with them. I am glad to be moving on...
