Bulls coach Scott Skiles responded Thursday to Ben Gordon's displeasure over his role this season, putting the responsibility on Gordon.

"Anybody that's involved in the league in depth and watches us play knows that we have more things in our offense for Ben probably than any other team in the league has for any other player," Skiles said. "It's normally the guys who aren't playing well that are making those kinds of comments. So I don't put much stock in that."

 
Gordon's comments were summarized for Skiles after the Bulls' three-hour marathon practice.

Talking about his struggles in an article Wednesday, Gordon questioned whether the Bulls ran enough plays for him and said he is frustrated because he doesn't start games and often doesn't finish them. Ultimately, Gordon accepted responsibility for what he perceives as a reduced role.

"It's like you're in limbo ? but I can't put the blame on anyone else," Gordon said. "I have to find a way to be valuable enough to the team that I'm out there those times of games."
