The teams were both around 500 last season. The team that lost BG is still there. The team that gained BG is well below it.
Yes, this is an extremely narrow analysis that ignores about a 1,000 factors. But hey, if we’re going to throw out one stat and then use that to draw “definite” conclusions…

If anyone on the Pistons learn how to give a hard pick or screen, Gordon will average 30 easy.
As for defense, Gordon has really been trying hard and has improved markedly.It’s going to be really interesting if this improvement continues.

Ben Gordon, was not only the bulls best offensive player, but he was their best clutch player as well, his ability to score in the 4th qt made kept and allowed them to win many games. No one really plays defense in the NBA until the 4th qtr.. The pistons will be a much better fit because they have better front office who knows how to groom young players.

Everyone should have seen this coming. They can’t score without BG. He has weaknesses, but there’s one thing he’s absolutely amazing at, and the Bulls needed it: scoring.

Clearly a post by a Piston’s-centered blog.

The Bulls may be worse offensively, but they are INFINITELY BETTER defensively. Gordon is and always will be a defensive sieve. Have fun with that, Pistons.
