   I wouldn't even try to hazard a guess, but I will say that your estimate 
of five would be way off.  He had two shots blocked in his last game alone, 
one by Skinner, the other by Kenny Thomas.
There is a very good chance that the number of Antoine's shots blocked are 
down, but since a greater percentage of his shots are coming from the outside 
it would only make sense the chances of his shot getting blocked would be 
less.
He's gone from taking 12% of his shots from the outside in his rookie year, 
up steadily every year save one, 17%, 24%,19%,35%,38% and so far this season 
38%.
