Antoine's getting it right?

[Roy Enrile <renrile@qualcomm.com>]

After the Bull's strength coach and Obrien were high on Antoine and
saying people would be "pleasantly suprised", there's been little from the
media or the list commenting on it.

I'd say he actually looks heavier and stronger, but less quick compared to
the final games last season.  The shoulders and arms are filled out,
and I don't think people who aren't familiar with him would confuse him
with an SF anymore.

He still may not have much hop, but I think he's consciously playing
nastier with more power and less finesse to the basket.  Against San
Antonio (who will be the most feared defensive frontcourt in the league
with Duncan, Robinson, Bowen, and the hustling thugs off the bench), he
attempted at least three dunks:
-A Spin to the baseline, and two hander where he drew contact.
-An alley oop off a downscreen that missed.
-A cocked one handed miss in the lane against both seven footers.

Did he even try three dunks per ten games last year :) ?
