Bishop since the California Disaster:
90/203 FG = 44.3%
28/78 from 3 = 35.9%
17.8 PPG 

Take out the first few games where Bishop was slumping and you can see he's been very solid offensively.

27.5 pts a game this week, huge clutch shots to power us to the win today.

Think today might've been Bishop's best game as a Colonial. Poised, hit clutch shots, didn't do too much. Played within the flow of the game. Love it

100%

GWRising, keep in mind it's a discussion started by a troll, intended to produce responses ranging from anger to your reaction.

So, a few things about James.  First, a few here have misconstrued how we got here in the first place.  This was never a debate as to whether James was a talented player, or whether he has improved as a player, or even whether it's OK or not to pad one's stats.  I don't think these things are even up for discussion.  No, this began when The Troll proclaimed "what a game" to describe James's performance against St. Louis,  a game that GW was never truly in.  It was a completely out of place remark that, as you can guess, was intended to troll this board.  

This is so easily contrasted with yesterday's game.  25 points on 50% shooting, including some key clutch plays.  Truly led the team to a victory.  THIS is the kind of effort where "what a game" is appropriate.

I'll stand by an earlier comment that I am not going to be overly concerned about assists if James is to play off the ball.  Am far more concerned about good shot selection.  As a point guard, I view the primary responsibility to be to make good decisions while prioritizing getting your teammates involved.  As a shooting guard, I'm happy to see James shoot every time he has the ball as long as he's taking good, smart shots.

17 points a game 46% from 2, 35% from 3, 81% from the FTA line
 

Not sure if anyone else saw this but Vince Williams was phenomenal in VCU's win at Richmond.  Ace Baldwin was in foul trouble and in fact, fouled out with just under 4 minutes left on just a ridiculous call.  Williams put the team on his back, both while Baldwin was on the bench with fouls as well as once he fouled out.  

Dude, since you’re asking me publicly as opposed to writing to me privately, I will also respond publicly.

If I am reading this correctly, the person you are accusing of attacking you is the person that you first attacked.  If you are telling me that you will no longer attack that person, then I will absolutely uphold the same expectation of him.

The intent of my rule is for everybody to be nice to each other and respectful. But I know that if I am attacked, then I will certainly defend myself up to a point.

So, what say you, gentlemen? Are we now above the petty arguments and ready to start anew without any past prejudices or personal attacks?

I for one, and I bet I represent 90% of the people on this board, would love that. 

Now, back to the topic at hand, I’ll throw my two cents in and say that I have been impressed by the team’s play including Bishop, especially. I remain hugely supportive of the direction of the program and hope that JC can continue to bring out the best in players who we have had otherwise low expectations of. 

If we can somehow get to .500 in the league at the end of the season, Then I think my feeling would be stay the course and hope the players like a fisher stay with the program.

Barry easy solution, that's it

As on this thread as on dozens over many years that guy initiated the personal attack


I will gladly do just that. Please help ensure that's universally applied. 

And agreed about GW and Bishop

I think it was FQ who noted, how much more difficult what Bishop (and JoeBam)  is doing with so much of the D keyed on you

Very impressive stuff

 

maybe 2nd team and 2nd team for JoeBam and Bishop?
