Here's some of my response to him...i answered all his other points but it got cut off
Gordon wouldn't have to hit improbable shots late if he did other aspects of the game better in the first 46 minutes of most games. It's an insult to Michael Jordan for anyone to use his name to describe the superstar-wannabe Gordon.
So you're comparing him to the greatest player of all time just because a few fans say Ben Jordan. Genius. Just set up impossible standards as a comparison so he is bound to fail against it.
MJ?played defense. Correct that ... MJ?played stifling, tough, in-your-face defense, placing him on the NBA All-Defensive team several times. Gordon has never been and will never be on that squad, unlike Bulls teammate Kirk Hinrich. Not that I'm saying Hinrich is better than Gordon, but he is more efficient (Gordon scored 26 on Tuesday, but shot a paltry 6-for-21 from the field; Hinrich scored 19 on 6-of-12) and Hinrich was named to the NBA all-defensive team in 2006-07. Gordon not only fails to play defense well, he seems to be regressing.
Gordon has not been regressing on defense, and you would know this if you actually watched Bulls games over a period of time. Gordon was awful on defense in his rookie season. Since then, he got the reputation of being a bad defender. This season, if you watched, he made marked improvements on the defensive end. He usually stays in front of his man, but may play tentative if he is in foul trouble. Now, he has an average defender. Of course being the hater you are, don't take into consideration that Gordon is usually about 5 inches shorter than his counterpart.
In basketball defense is not > offense. Defense and offense are equally important. You need great offense to win, and you need great defense to win. Since no player in the NBA is perfect, you need a good team of players that produce in their roles. Some players role is to play defense, some to score, some to rebound, some to deliver hard fouls, some to be the go to guy for their team. Hinrich is not much of a scorer nor a clutch player. He defends well, but in doing so he also picks up a ton of fouls.
Game 1: Hinrich 23 minutes, 3 points, 2 fouls
Game 2: Hinrich 19 minutes, 7 points, 4 fouls
Game 3: Hinrich 22 minutes, 14 points
Game 4: Hinrich 43 minutes, 18 points, but just 5 points in 4th quarter and overtime, including missing clutch free throws
Further, Hinrich is not more efficient than Gordon, he was just for this one game. Efficiency is how many points made per shot attempts. Gordon is a carrer 44%fg shooter, and has shot above 45% in 2 of his seasons. He has shot 41% career 3pointers, which is better than Ray Allen. He has gone to the line 4.2 times a game over his career and made 86% of them. That is the very definition of efficient.
Gordon is one of the most efficient scorers in the game today, and one of the most prolific shooters in the game today. He has outplayed Ray Allen in this series, something you wouldn't notice. Allen has had a 1-12 game for 4 points, and a 3-8 game for 10 points, which were both largely due to Gordon's offense AND his defense.
Hinrich on the other hand, is a very inefficient scorer. His career percentages are 41%fg, 38%3pt, 81%ft, with only 1.7 free throw attempts per game. So to say Hinrich is more efficient than Gordon shows your clear agenda here.
