* Try harder to keep it that way.

but I had to say something here.  How on earth can you compare Peja to Toine
in your argument?   Toine is not even in the same class, make that the same
planet as Peja when it comes to shooting.   Just look at their career 3 pt
percentages.  That alone tells you that Toine's dismal 3 pt performance was
not a fluke.  And please don't bring up Walker's knee injury as being a
factor because Toine is a set shooter and not a jump shooter like Ray Allen
or Vince.  As for Peja having bad shooting nights, yeah it happens to the
best of them, it's just that Peja has fewer, make that way fewer bad
shooting nights than say Toine.

* Some things never change.  You are the only member on this list who did
not understand what I was saying.  I was not comparing Toine to Peja as a
shooter.  But I'll let you think that if you wish.  Trying to carry on an
intelligent conversation with you is ......not an easy endeavor even for a
patient fella like me.

> Cecil, Kestas is just merely stating facts that have been known for quite
some time.  It is funny how stubborn you are to criticism about Walker.  A
few years ago during one of our "debates" you went as far as to say that
Duncan and Kobe were better players than Walker because they had a better
supporting cast.  With Walker's declining rebounds, league leading
technicals, and constantly erratic 3 point shooting, how much more proof do
you need that Walker is a sub par franchise player?
>
* Kestas is quite capable of speaking for himself.  He was saying there was
a correlation between the 3 point performance and what the player does in a
game.  I disagree.  I thought what I said was that Kobe and Duncan were
surrounded by better players, which helped make them better players also.
Never said that Walker was as skilled as Duncan as a rebounder or in a low
post game.  Never said that Walker was as skilled as Kobe on the break or
defensively or even as a finisher.

As far as franchise players and their stats, do you realize that the great
Larry Bird shot .321 on 3s in playoff competition?  Good thing he didn't
stop shooting them even though he wasn't in Steve Kerr's or Craig Hodge's
league.  I suppose you think I am making a comparison between Toine's game
and Larry's, right?  Go ahead and tell me what I am saying.

What is Toine to 3 point shooting?  A shootout champion?  Top 10 in 3 pt %?

*It is obvious that you purposely ignore the point I was trying to make.
Your intent is to refute it based upon your observations.  Yeah Ryan.  Drop
in and see us in another year or two.
