I probably like Gordon less than just about anyone in Chicago, but I don't think this is fair based on his production earlier in the series. He was out of control hot in Games 2 and 3 and probably has been limited by the hamstring over the past couple of games.

However, when he has to create his own shot against a set defense then bad things usually happen. When he is in on defense in crunch teams bad things invariably happen. When the other guys sit around and wait for Ben to throw one in, bad things happen about 100% of the time.
