I don't know how many of you have lived overseas for any length of time but there is a certain something about coming home that lifts one's spirits. I think having been home this summer and in the gym and on the court will fellow Serbs will lift Darko's spirits immensely. That along with the fact that he knows that Brown won't be around should have him in an excellent frame of mine when he comes back even if he doesn't play a lot in the upcoming Euro tournament.

I am sure he knows about C-Bill's interview and that will also help his attitude knowing that his teamates support him.

Big deal. Rebraca -- not a No. 2 draft pick, by the way -- is ahead of him on the depth chart. I'll get excited about Dunko when he starts doing something for the Deeee-troit Pistons.

Nice collection of big men with Rebraca, Krstc, Radmonovic, and Darko!

..probably will be hard for him to get some good run...but we can always hope.

I hope to be able to provide some infos. It just depends on how good the german coverage will be.

Thank you for another great season!

Darko played 12 minutes scored 3 pts..2 blks...4 rebs

Coach Obradovic decided to play only Zelly and Krstic in the first half.
Krstic got 5 quick fouls in like 10 minutes giving Darko a chance to play.
Obradovic and Zelly got into an argument and was pulled from the game... that's when Darko came in with about 2 minutes left in the 3rd.

Darko had two impressive blocks and one stupid foul at the 3 point line.
He did provide intimidation in the paint for altered shots.
He didn't get a chance to touch the ball because they were shooting 3's trying to get back into the game.

Darko's score was off an offensive rebound where he got fouled for an and1.

have to be encouraged by what they have seen out of Darko so far this summer. I know that some people wanted to see more out of him during the summer league but from what I saw he didn't have a bad summer league. During summer league, he looked like he was just trying to fit in and run the team plays. He never really asserted himself on the offensive end. He was seemingly content to just run the plays and blend in. I know that isn't what "thirsty" fans wanted to see after him not getting hardly any PT under LB.

Now, in Europe from what we are led to believe through articles and fans who have been generous enough to give us detailed reports, we are seeing a more aggressive and determined Darko. He seems to really be trying to IMPRESS with effort and team play and he is showing signs of being able to become an intimidation factor on Defense. He has been playing team defense and not getting touches on offense. He is doing the little things that should earn him minutes in the NBA. Darko is showing that willingness to boxout and hustle for the basketball. It's good to know that at most times Darko has been the best defensive player in the paint for SCG. It's very very encouraging for ALL PISTONS FANS.
