I will predict that he has a great game with 8 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks. His real value will be all the things he does that nobody is able to see... gets to the bus on time, asks poignant questions in the pre-game briefing, rebounds well in the shoot-around, etc.
No, I don't care much about Darko. If you read the post again, perhaps you will glean enough insight to realize that what I do "care" about are the idiots who continue to sing the praises of someone who to this point has only proved himself to be a BUST without backing it up with any real data.

When he puts up real numbers (the few times that he has, that is), the numbers are shoved down our throats.

When he doesn't get any numbers (which is usually the case) we are told the numbers only tell a small part of the story. His real value is...blah blah blah.

No Tashawn. I have a low frustration tolerance for fools. Not basketball players who were drafted a round earlier than they should have been.

Also, I used the emphasis to make a point. I've asked for objective figures in the past, and have yet to see any. Love...and Darko love...are blind, I suppose.

Darth, since I have shown admirable restraint to keep from being one of those "idiots" or "fools" who delight in ramming the stats down your throat, I will once again take the same road.

But I will smile quite broadly after the next two games between my two favorite teams.

I will get to be in the house for the one in Detroit but will have to settle for watching on the tube for the second one.

I hope I enjoy the games more than you do .

Darth Tater/Darko Hater; only 3 letters different.

So what if Darko doesn't get good numbers? There is more to NBA basketball than doing well.

Give the guy a break. He comes from a war-torn country, yet his only flashbacks are of Larry Brown's screams.

The only screams I hear are the ones that Tater makes when I whup up on his hockey team!

Your team is like last years Pistons.

I may change my name to the Miami Lightning (Tampa Bay is in the same State, so why not). Do you think I might get a few favorable calls from the refs when we meet in the playoffs if I do that?

Has anything changed? Maybe.

Show me!

Anyhow, what are the OBJECTIVE standards for a good performance?

I don't want to hear the Darko HOF go on and on about his 7 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block that defined the game and rallied/or should have rallied his team to victory.

I'm admittedly curious to see how he does, but I don't really care very much either way.

Put your money where your mouths are DHOF! Predict some hard stats that would show us that Darko is a worthy #2 pick! Don't wait until after the game to twist his performance into one for the ages.




Ok Darth, I will post my "hard stats" as to what will happen tommorow in the Darko Expert Licensing Exam. I plan on putting them in there tonight after the Magic play in NY. I want to see that game before venturing any kind of guess as to what will happen tomorrow. G. Hill is back tonight and with Darko in the starting lineup I want to see how that affects his FGA's and his role in the offense. Then I will have a better idea as to how he will be used tomorrow.

As I said, I will post the stats I expect to see out of Darko TONIGHT after the Magic and NY game.

You two guys are in the wrong thread.

Your hockey teams are in the wrong thread also.

Stick to Darko, you're better at that.

Re: At Orlando 7pm Feb 23rd

darko statline
18 points, 10 rebs, 4 blocks, 6 assists.


for those of you who aren't believers you get to watch the game and see the impact for yourself. darko isn't about stats but in the starting line up he has been providing numbers.

get ready for the preview of the twin towers that will dominate the east for a long time.

darth. what numbers will darko have to put up to convert you?
