<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">It's as easy as Dick and Jane for the Bulls. See Ben shoot. Shoot, Ben, shoot! "We don't have any restrictions on anybody," Bulls coach Scott Skiles said Friday morning after practice, the Arizona skies a lot sunnier than his team's disposition. "He has the green light. All the guys do. But I'll see him open on tape, or during the game, and I'm thinking in my head, `Shoot that!' But he's going somewhere else with it. "Ben is a comfort [zone] guy," Skiles said. "He needs to feel really comfortable. Some nights he doesn't feel like he's in the groove. That's what he would say. So he goes and does other things." There are too many things that happen in any basketball game to blame anyone for a loss. Gordon had a 10-point fourth quarter against the Hornets on Wednesday night to help rally the Bulls after an 11-point third quarter Tuesday against Dallas that helped the Bulls get back in the game. Gordon, however, has been surprisingly tentative with his shot, especially in the first halves of those two losses when he was a combined 1-for-8 as the Bulls fell behind badly. The fault doesn't lie with Gordon. As the team's leading scorer and the only Bull with a 30-point scoring game this season, however, it may be up to him to carry the team--fair or not--when it goes for its first victory on this seven-game trip against Phoenix. It you want to be a star, you have to step up. It's the rule of the NBA, one even Skiles grapples with in advocating his team-first style. The Detroit Pistons do it the team way, and no one can argue with their success--but they are the exception. The Bulls seemed to be putting together that kind of team last season, but it hasn't been the same this time around and even Skiles isn't quite sure why. "When there's a key moment of the game, when maybe we need a good shot at the basket, we're not able to get it," Skiles said. "Rising to the occasion and making that play was kind of a trademark of ours last season. [But] those plays have not gone our way in a lot of games [this season]."</div> <div align="center">Source</div>
skiles is actually making gordon "the go to guy", before his 39 pts, everybody on the team would take almost equal amount of shot attempts, but now gordon is taking way more attempts than anybody else on the team and he is actually doing good scoring, but it would be nice if he can get the bulls some wins and work on his defense more
Gordon's going to end up being the modern day Vinnie Johnson...man, I would love to have him on my Rockets...
