Kover and Rose won us the Atlanta series two years ago. No one else showed up to those games.

Even when used rightly, Ben Gordon is by no means a top-notch shooting guard. But he does have value and is capable of lighting up the scoreboard on any given night. The Charlotte Bobcats are currently minimizing this ability of his, and it's time for Gordon to become a more featured weapon in their offense.
Since Gordon left the Chicago Bulls after the 2008-09 season, he has struggled to find a groove. His role was never solidified with the Detroit Pistons and this continues to be the case with the Bobcats.
In Gordon's last year with Chicago, he averaged 20.7 points per game in 36.6 minutes per outing. In three seasons with Detroit, he never averaged more than 30 minutes an outing. He's now only tallying 22.2 minutes per game with Charlotte.
His offensive skill set is still there, however. According to RealGM Sports, he's currently ranked 10th in the league in scoring per-36 minutes at 21.5 PPG.
With this in view, it's evident that his role should increase with the Bobcats. It would be understandable if he was averaging decreased minutes while playing for a contender, but he's the most potent scorer on Charlotte's inept roster. Therefore, he shouldn't have to fight for more minutes.
Gordon's defense has always been a concern, but his scoring abilities should not be overlooked, especially since he's on a lackluster team in need of some firepower. He may not be worthy of 35-plus minutes, but his role should definitely be heightened.
We did. He had big games with us too, and those games didn't require 2OT for Korver to have a big game.
Hawks vs Bulls just 11 days ago.
Korver: 9pts, 2reb, 1 stl.
i figured i'd put this in the official huge mistake thread
Ben Gordon one of the 6 NBA Players Being Misused by Their Teams
bleacherreport usually puts out garbage...but they finally put out something i agree with :clap:
ppl said my excuse of him being misused was lame
When you use bleacher report as a source to vindicate your argument...its still a lame argument! Lol...
Gordon may be not bing used right, but he's not the same player he once was. Also, he doesn't play defense and that's another reason his PT isn't there.
shhhhhhhh
What?
that means "don't tell Megatron"
