Who had/is having the bigger impact in the playoffs in their short Bulls career? I'll never forget the Celtics-Bulls series where BG was going head to head with Ray Allen, but we didn't win. I always thought he should have been featured more in the offense. He was also lacking on defense. Nate Robinson is also a purer athlete, and can light you up in the paint as well as with his jumper. BG was my favorite New Era Bull after Rose, but Nate Robinson is creeping up there. Speak on it.

Big Nate is real effective coming off the bench and giving that spark, hes not fit to be a starter, where as Ben Gordon was, Gordon was also a big time clutch player in those moments as well. But either way I love Nate! :obama:

Gordon. Love both though. Nate's a better ball handler but he's worse on defense because of his size and he's less efficient. He's a better passer and point guard but Gordon scored more consistently and efficiently for a longer period of time. He played more minutes too.

as much as I hate to say it, it's BG. that nikka was better than nate off the bench. simply cuz he's a better shooter. of course nate is a much better ballhandler tho.

2008 Gordon in Nate's role on this year's team :ohlawd:. But to answer your question Gordon had the bigger impact.

BG had like one game where he really was lights out and Ray Allen was going shot for shot with him and they still lost, atleast with Nate who had 2 games against the Nets where he was amazing he was able to atleast help the Bulls advance to the next round.

Nate easily.

Really. I thought both had average on ball defense at best, but I think Nate's off-ball defense is way better. He's always getting steals in the lane :yeshrug:

Are you just ignoring BG's entire Bulls career and basing it off one series? That's pretty awful logic. The Celtics were also way better than the Nets.

Nate's far below average because of his size. I don't know who's better at off ball defense, neither of them were good enough to make a noticeable impact.
