Well that is kind of an important quality to have in a team leader isn't it?
As Kim said, it's just awfully frustrating to see him have so much talent
and not utilize it sometimes.  I guess we must constantly remind ourselves
that he is young and developing, but we can still dream of having the
complete package, someone who has the lowpost moves of McHale, the
rebounding instincts of Silas, the defensive ability of the Duck and a shot
like Larry.  Can Toine be a player like that?  It's almost unfair to expect
him to reach that level.  Personally, I doubt that he'll ever be able to
shoot like Larry, but I'll take the rest of the package, as he should
improve.

But please don't call us names because our opinions don't jive with yours.
That's childish.  Toine had some awful games this year, just like everyone
else.  And he's made some statements which didn't exactly show how team
oriented he is: "my offense kept us in the game" and "If I leave, they'll
have to get another franchise player" are not team-type remarks, regardless
of who's mouth they come from.
