Bench Gordon, Put him back as 6th man Options

[rangercal]

Seriously... I Love Gordon.. However, the Bulls struggle when their opponent has 2 above average offensive Guards in their backcourt. Gordon can't get through screens on time, and is too weak on D to make up for the size advantage. Plus, he isn't a weapon on Offense when faced against a big backcourt.


Gordon Should ONLY play when ONE of Rip or Billups is on the Bench.
(maybe that could get him 15-20 mins and be a real spark plug in that short time span ie how Cedric Ceballos had a role with Phoenix during the early stages of his career.)

Any other team, Start Gordon. Against Detroit? 6th Man .

A Lineup I would Love to see:


Wallace-C
Prown-PF
Thomas-SF
Deng-SG
Hinrich-PG


Thoughts?
Anyone else have Ideas?

With the superior scoring depth the Pistons have I just can not justify benching Gordon personally. Quickness would be what we lack in slowing Rip down more so than wingspan in my opinion. Plus, Tayshaun is very able to put up 20 or 25 points. I would maybe see Wallace-Brown-Deng-Thabo-Kirk (although I still think we need Gordon to play a lot of minutes to win) as a decent compromise.

I just want to see Gordon come alive and spread the court. That will open up Deng in his mid-range game and maybe open Kirk up for a few open 3's every so often. If we can get it going and defend the United Center its a whole new series. We only need one road win if we can protect our home.

Edit - Gordon HAS to stay out of foul trouble... especially early.
