he is however scared to pass the ball. you don't have to teach darko how to pass. he started rebounding yesterday. i won't act like he's beind doing that all year. he jacks up shots when called on. he attempts to defend but in the end is just undersized.


i'm not hateful. i think other people can't wait to find any little thing to throw venom at darko. when darko is playing well now in orlando nobody wants to talk about it. when our rooks have good games it's the perfect time to talk about darko. that's not cool so that's why i make sure i respond.

karma. how much sympathy did lb have for delfino???


i think darko would have been a much happier player if he was sent to the nbdl his first season. darko was 17 when he was drafted so of course he would respond differently than jmax and acker. yes we have a new attitude where the players toughness and attitude is accepted and groomed. under lb this was not the case. different players respond to different types of coaching.

darko's a primadonna?? i wish ben had the same attitude as our young kids.

Our rookies played pretty well. The most impresive out of the group I think was Amir Johnson. I'm not entirely sure about this, but didn't he have 2 Alley Oop attemps? It doesn't really matter, but man this kid has hops. It's a good thing the NBDL kept him in shape, or this game would've stunk.
