I know Toine can hit 3's, but when he misses them from straight on, there
is usually a long rebound, and last night that led to a lot of Piston fast
breaks.  In fact, if the Pistons hadn't blown a couple of 5 on 2
opportunities, we might not have been able to tie it up in the third.  It
seems to me that Antoine should only shoot the three when the shot clock
is winding down or to loosen up his defender to give him a chance to drive
on his next possession
