Why is it strange? Don't you think there's some correlation? Toine was the only
contestant whose 3-pt shooting percentage is below 40%. He was a full 5
percentage points worse than any other contestant, and his score was the lowest
by far. It just underscores what a lot of us have been claiming all along: he's
taking way too many threes for his shooting skill level.  Do you realize that
he's already taken more threes this season than in  any of the seasons before
Obie became the coach? At the same time, his rebounding is at a career low, his
assist numbers have dropped off significantly, and his overall shooting % is
also a career low. Don't you see a connection there? The three-point shot is a
drug, he's addicted to it, and Obie is his enabler and his front man and fall
guy.
