He exploded today with a career high 36 points on 14/21 from the field, 6/10 from the 3 and 2/4 from the line. He averages on 6 games 16.2 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 3.8 APG, 51.5% from the field, 46.2% from 3pt (2 3 pointers made per game) and 1.8 TOPG.

I wish we could somehow get rid of McInnis and get him instead.

 

[Petey]

I'm sure McInnis will have his share of big games.

I won't dump him so early.

He's really stepped up his game in a new role too.

James is a far superior defender and a better outside shooter.
Both aren't the purest PGs in the world, but I rather have James.

 

[ghoti]

I like Mike James, too.

However, he isn't going to be the Raps starting PG with Calderon there.

McInnis has done about the same things as James in his career, but has done somewhat better.

Mcinnis is a much better passer than James

he is the starting PG right now......but they were playing Mike James at SG a lot today (so they could get calderon in as well).

Yeah. He isn't going to be the starter. Meaning that soon he won't be the starter.

He may, however, become the starting SG.

Thats all nice and all. Glad to see he put up nice points. But its well known that James loves to shoot the rock and cant run an offense smoothly. He shot the ball 21 times, thats crazy for a dude that isnt even one of the first three offensive options on his team.

Yes, but he also made 67% of his shot which is tremendous, especially for a guard. He didn't "overshoot" the ball.
Sure, James isn't a great distributor, but McInnis isn't too. While McInnis is a better PG, he makes more mistakes. I think that James can be a very pleasent addition.

If its scoring the nets want, I dont think James is that necessary. They have enough guys who can score the ball. If its the defense, then I can see your point. The thing being Mcinnis has actually being playing pretty good defense. I guess this is just down to opinion, I'd rather have Mcinnis than James. I am pretty sure Rap fans arent too pleased with the fact that James shot the ball more than their franchise player, matter of fact he shot the ball more than any other player on the raps team in that game. Not including the 10 3's he also took in that game. Oh by the way for his career Mcinnis, is averaging 1.40 TO per game whilst James has 1.42. I even think as of last year Mcinnis was leading the league at some point in the least turnovers committed. He is normally very good with making decisions with the ball

You are taking the wrong message from that career performance. The message is this: the Sonics, who the Nets play next, allowed Mike James to score 36 points on 14/21 from the field, 6/10 from the 3 and 2/4 from the line. They also allowed the Raptors to score 117 points in regulation and 121 overall. If the Raptors are able to score 117 points against ANYONE, and that anyone is about to play your team, it's a good thing...or better be.

PS Bob Weiss will be the first coach fired this year.

 

[Netted]

Mike James is a better defender and 3 point shooter than McInnis. I'd rather have James, but with perfomances like that the Raps will keep wanting more for him.

 

[Chris Bosh #4]

James played well, but amazingly Calderon played better. The guy knows how to run an offense seriously he makes everyone better and his chemistry with Bosh, and Villanueva is just amazing.

Not ONE of them can play defense. Rashad Lewis made Villaneuva look ill. Calderon plays Spanish League defense...Ole! Bosh is a shot blocker but he is still too thin to play any kind of positional defense. When a score is tied at 117 at the end of regulation, something is very, very wrong. And that whacky Calderon pass near the end of regulation almost cost them the game...fly though the air and throw a no-look backwards pass with less than 10 seconds left...oh yeah, genius.

Me, too. Some dope dropped Josh Smith, so I had no choice.

 

[furnace]

Even in the summer, I was saying that I'd rather have Mike James than McInnis.

Regardless of what they do offensively, Mike James' defense is MUCH MUCH better. He was a key component of the Pistons' title run.

I would trade McInnis for James in a heartbeat, but unfortunately, no GM out there is dumb enough to take McInnis.

And this is coming from a raptor fan, you heard it.

This Calderon spanish guy is a very good player, the most unselfish player on the raptor team. he's a good example for a PG more like Jason Kidd.

I agree about Calderon being a good player. Of course its too early to tell, and he may turn out to be "just on a lucky streak." But he shows some qualities (unselfishness) which are worth looking into. :clap: I've been impressed with his play, so far.
