Re: Toine at point guard and other things...

The leagues most prolific 3 point shooter?  I think you are taking that a
bit far. Sure he shoots them more than anyone on the planet but I don't
think this is really seen as a threat by most teams. As far as the point he
isn't Magic Johnson and never will be. As Jim Rome put it with Chuck
Knoblock. This isn't little league where you can hide the kid that sucks!
The reason we get killed on the boards is because we are weak inside at the
4 and 5 spots, need to make some moves or acquisitions because skinny guys
like Camby & Rahim go for 20 boards against us. Although a different team I
still have nightmares of Acie Earl going off for 40+ on us which was
probably half his career total.
