So I went to Toine's debut tonight. Looked good in the paint still has enough skills to play in there plus he was probably playing the worst front line in the PR Basketball league. He had 17 points, badly missed some threes (SHOCKER!), he looks decent, but it will probably take him 5-7 games to get into playing shape. Marcus Fizer had 14 and 8 boards and sunk 2 FTs with 7 seconds to win the game. Guaynabo is now 1-0. Ill keep giving updates as the season progresses if Toine lasts the whole season. Only has one month guaranteed on his contract so the team was protected in case he was out of shape or simply couldnt play anymore. About 3,500 people showed up, pretty good considering Guaynabo is not a marquee franchise and they were playing a bad team.

Wow.  Good luck Toine.  It would would be a pretty cool story if he can somehow work his way back into the NBA.

And WOW Marcus Fizer!  There's a name I thought I'd never hear again.

Keep us posted on Toine updates.  Any wiggles?  What # is he wearing?

Toine is of course wearing # 8. No wiggle sightings as of now.

Toine in Puerton Rico

Toine Watch Game # 3: 20 mins 6 PTS 3-12 FG (0-3 3P) 13 Rebs (6 OFF) 2 AST
Totals (3 games) - 12 PPG 11.3 RPG 2 APG 1 BPG 42% Field Goals 14% from 3.

Guaynabo lost in a blowout. They are now 2-1. Antoine has now been with the team for a month which means the teams decides today whether to pick up his contract for the rest of the year or cut him, same with Marcus Fizer. I think Toine is safe, but Fizer will be cut. I will post it as soon as I get the info.

How have you given us all these great Toine updates but only have 3 TP's (now 4  ;))

As I had previously stated tonight was the last game where Antoine's contract was guaranteed, their were rumors that Guaynabo was trying to negotiate to turn the contract into one where it gets renewed on a week by week basis instead of picking it up for the rest of the year. Marcus Fizer was also on the chopping block. This happens because each team only gets 2 non Puerto Rican players (rule is lax grandchildren of Puerto Ricans coun)and the teams expect these two players to put up big numbers. Toine and Fizer obviously responded. Fizer had 19 points 9 REBS and 7 ASTS.  Guaynabo won 92-86 and is now 3-1. On the defensive end Toine wasn't as good (who knew) the guy he was guarding had 31/11.

Antoine watch Game # 4: 20 PTS and 12 REBS

Totals: 4 games 14 PPG and 11.5 RPG
