When he plays with energy, he seems so much more confident in himself, which is something that's been really lacking since the Dixon trade.

There doesn't seem to be any news on that front yet but I hope the league does change it down to a flagrant-1. Mo came out with a real fire last night, making some good plays and diving for the basketball.

Ah Mike James, so full of himself, and then he falls off the map. Stand up guy for sure.

Neither KG nor Lebron have reliable jump shots.

You can play off them, and make them go straight to where a defender can get help. That both of them can still put up 25+ on without a good jumper shows just how good they are - at the same time, it shows what a waste of talent both of them are.

A jump-shot is the only basketball skill than can be learned from scratch through hard work. Nobody is a natural shooter - it's all practice and repetition. Proper form, good arc, a quick release, etc...can all be developed through hard work.

D-Wade has enough of a jumper that defenses have to extend themselves which allows him to get to the rim and set up his teammates.

Guys like KG and Lebron spend their summers promoting the game in China rather than working on their game.

You can talk about their team-mates all you want - but until they maximize their own games, their failure to succeed is their own fault.

I know Air Canada isn't the greatest company in the world but it's gotta be better than Target.

Imagine playing in the Dollarama centre or the Wal-mart arena? Ewwww.

This team scares me for some reason. You can never count out a team when they have players like Kevin Garnett,Ricky Davis,Mike James and Randy Foye. But i guess they never win cause they dont play as a team

Junkyard Dog13 · 04-09-2007, 05:12 PM

Mike James wasa 1 year wonder as a starter

great energy by TJ. That dunk was SICK!

he was a foot above the rim.

**JS03** · 04-09-2007, 06:12 PM

James gets the basket at the buzzer. =/

crimedog · 04-09-2007, 06:13 PM

sloppy finish to the first half. we need to come out with a lot of energy in the third quarter.

I cannot express in words how wrong you are about that.

Edit: Never mind.

Good to see the Raptors hanging around despite first-quarter heroics by Ricky Davis.

I was a little confused when Sam took out Joey and put Juan in his place. Joey was knocking down shots. He puts in Juan and Ricky Davis shoots over him seconds later.

Sweet dunk by TJ.
