I’m conflicted here. Ben Gordon has been brilliant, but he’s been mad...
Scoop Jackson discusses the Ben Gordon dilemma
On the suggestion of arjospeh's preview I visited the Bobcats blog Rufus on Fire, only to find this empirical graph of the game last night from the Bulls loss.  Interesting to see so much of this is about the Bulls and Gordon, including this bit that pretty well sums up my perspective of "The Ben Gordon Experience" (my emphasis):


It was comical watching the game deteriorate as Gordon took more and more shots, and only after it was decided did he attempt to sling a few passes. In fact, on one play he created a turnover because nobody expected him to pass. Joakim Noah was rolling toward the goal when he saw Gordon had the ball. Noah looked up, expecting to see a shot bouncing off the rim, but instead, Gordon had jumped in the air and whizzed the ball by Noah's head, shocking everyone in the building.

The box score won't show that Gordon was terrible, only that he hit 6-15 shots and turned it over 5 times in 39 minutes. The thing is though, every time he launched another contested jumper instead of taking his time and trying to find an open teammate, it deflated his guys, and they held their heads down as they trudged back to play defense.

Smells Like Mascot takes humorous shots at Chicago sports throughout the winter.  Although the artist's first love is following the White Sox, I always find his take on the Bulls to be funny.  He certainly agrees with Matt about Rose!
