I hear ya. Doesn't mean he can't play though ... that he 'sucks'. If he get's his head on straight I still look for him to contribute this year, but in a very specific role. Regardless of what some here hoped, he will only start if we have a lot of injuries, If he can't find his stroke w/o a lot of court time, then he's probably done. And if he does get his shot back but kills chemistry on the court, then he'll only see court time when no one else is hitting anything.
MJ needs to understand he is now a scrub and he needs to do what a scrub does in order to get playing time--hustling and playing defense. He needs to understand that he is not even the eighth option on offense and he is not entitled to any shot unless he is wide open on the three point line or has a layup to the basket.
Why is there such a thread? This guy is hitting the bottom in his career. Can't we be less mean to him? Leave him alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, if he was passing the ball more instead of dribbling for 10 seconds... I can certainly understand that. But he simply SUX!!!! it's worth my time to ride on this thread.
He's an undersized SG who doesn't even have a shooting touch anymore. All he does now is hog the ball, then either jack up a 3 or drive in a gets blocked or stripped.
everyone calm down. Who cares how many shots he took in the game we already had it in the bag. WTF is up with this "I Hate Mike James Thread". Thats not for a ROCKETS FAN FORUM. Bring your negativety elsewhere it doesnt help
MJ seriously needs to slow down stop dribbling the ball so damn much and play like a PG. he needs to get his shot back and stop making r****ded decisions.
Mike James is still not getting it. Today he is trying very hard to get rid of his ballhog image and to pass the ball but he always turned it over. here is what he is suppose to do: shoot the shot he is supposed to shoot and pass the ball he is suppose to pass.
the two things he brought to the table were his shooting and his speed. now he can't shoot and he's slow. he's like a broken comdom. he's like a prostitute with lockjaw. he's like o'doul's at a frat party.
I think we traded for the two guys who are competing for the "Where Did My Game Go?" Award. James and Francis fell off hard.
Allright, at mideseason, i have to suck it up and say I am disappointed for having been so wrong about James. The guy had such a promising start and then it all went to crap. Too many clangy mid range jumpers. Not enough defense. Etc, ad nauseum I thought the James of Old would show up. Instead we just got an old James. Sucks. Because IMO the 2k5 James would have made a big difference on this team.
