Again, my only point is that they dunk the ball a lot.

In comparison, even with all the posterizations going down, the Pistons only had 6.

So, what's the key to beating the Magic? Foul the bejeezus out of Dwight Howard. Sounds like a job for Dale Davis.

Howard ain't none too good at the line, and we do have even Mohammed over on the bench to lay fouls on the big guy. Another strategy is to go after him on the offense. CWEBB and Sheed between them should be able to get it done. Live inside.

About those dunks by Darko. Milwaukee had most all their bigs out injured. The one they had left, after some foul trouble depleted them even more, they had to put on Howard, leaving Darko defended by a tall shooting gaurd. Orlando went to Darko several straight times at that point, and put the game away exploiting this mismatch. PS, Darko has shot two jumpers in the last two games. Swish, swish. You do have to play him on the perimeter.

What the s**t....

I have not been paying much attention to Darko.

He has modest but ok stats for 24 MPG

8.0 PPG 5.5 RPG 1.1 APG 1.7 BPG 1.57 TO he only shoots 0.449% with 0.614% from the line.

I just thought of a new stat.

The average number of minutes it would take a player to get a triple-double.

Jason Kidd: 45 minutes
Chauncey: 108 minutes
Rip: 98 minutes
Sheed: 185 minutes
Darko: 141 minutes

I don't think 82games tracks blocks by the rim, so I would question those #s TaS.

yeah. jmax has a couple of those. they don't track his either.

what about quadruple double?? i have darko on my fantasy team and i think he would be pretty high on that list. he racks up the points, steals, blocks, rebounds.

Same as me: in the non-winners pile.
