    <span style="font-style: italic">Nov 6</span> - Antoine Walker, one of the league's premier three-point shooters, missed the potential tying shot with seven seconds remaining against the Knicks, who eventually won 97-93.</p>

    </p>

    Among active players, only Boston's Ray Allen and Dallas' Eddie Jones have made more three-pointers than Walker's 1,325. But he is 0 for 4 behind the arc since being acquired from the Miami Heat in a five-player trade late in training camp.</p>

    </p>

    "It's tough when you're sitting 43 minutes. For me to be effective, I've got to be on the floor," Walker said. "Not much I can do right now. Just keep fighting. Keep getting ready to be involved. Hopefully, it comes soon." -- <font color="#000000">St. Paul Pioneer Press</font></p></div></div>

    I knew Antoine would complain about minutes, although I was under the impression he'd get 15-20 a game. I hope he doesn't cause problems and become a negative influence on the young guys, because when he's happy, he's a great leader. He's a great guy off the court too, but he still has his ego on it.</p>

    LeBron James a premier 3-point shooter? Not even close. Premier 3-point shooters are Ray Allen, Michael Redd, Kyle Korver, Steve Nash, Jason Kapono, Peja Stojakovic, Mike Miller, etc.</p>

    You have to include Kobe and LeBron in there. They can make the 3 pt shot anytime from anywhere. Might not have a good percentage due to them being all around players, unlike Korver, Kapono, Peja, who all they do is shoot 3s.</p>

    Anyone surprised that Shimmyboy complaining about the coaching?</p>

    Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? ... Bueller? ... Bueller?</p>

    News flash for you idiot. No one wants to trade for you because you have a bad attitude, your on court performance sucks and you aren't a part of the TWolves future. Shut your mouth, put in extra time in the gym getting yourself into shape so that when you are called upon you can deliver and then McHale will be able to trade your ass to a disappointing team that wants to make a push for the playoffs before the deadline.</p>

    Kobe is great, but LeBron is an average 3-point shooter at best. That's the biggest knock on his game, his shooting. There's no way he should be considered a premier 3-point shooter by anybody, even Cavs fans, I'm sorry. He's not even close to the best 3-point shooter on his team, as Gibson, D-Jones, Marshall, Nichols, and even Sasha are much better outside shooters than him.</p>
