I normally don't "root" for Darko, but I rooted for him tonight because he was against Larry Brown.
Larry's treatment of Darko was so bad. Going on Letterman and calling the kid immature was worse than anything Darko ever did to Larry. Making fun of his accent to the media was horrible too. LB was classless with Darko.
rational people that realize darko was never given a legitimate chance to succeed in detroit: hey, darko is going to be inconsistent. orlando coaches have gone on record saying that he is completely out of shape, and suspected that he would be physically unable to play more than 20 mpg this year. but he's really had some nice contributions to the orlando team, and they already could probably move him for twice what they gave up for him. but his contributions in orlando are very telling on how fucked up his situation in detroit was.
darko bashers: darko had 5 fouls.
And a turnoverQuote:

Note for the slow: sarcasm.
another win for orlando, blowing out 76'ers. darko had 11 pts in 18 minutes.
orlando is now 6-3 in its last 9. pretty impressive for a team that was already crappy before giving away its best player (franchise) and took on a horrible player who will never be a winner (darko) and gave him significant time.
i think orlando is really turning some heads, (except for rorsharch, who knew carlo arroyo would more than make up for no franchise and the addition of a slacker like darko).
ps darko has now played 336 min in his 16 games in orlando. he played 540 total in detroit over 3 years.
Noticve how this known darko homer ignores the real reason they are playing well . A-R-R-O-Y-O and jameer nelson playing terrific in the place of francis. thasts the surprise and reason they are winning.Quote:

Eh, suit yourselves.
He is, afterall, the guy that we passed on Melo, Bosh, and Wade for. It draws my interest at least a bit to see if the dude can actually play. Though I admit I'm losing interest a bit after the first couple games.Quote:

Darko = 19 minutes, 11 points on 5/8 shooting... but only ONE stinking rebound!?!?!? and 4 fouls in just 19 minutes.
Meanwhile, his much shorter teammate,Trevor Ariza, nabs 11 rebounds in 26 minutes.
In fact, little itty bitty, teeny, tiny, little, wittle bitty Keyon Dooling had twice the amount of rebounds as Darko...
and our buddy Carlos "one foot shorter than Darko" Arroyo, also EDIT: had FIVE TIMES the amount of rebounds as our old buddy, Darko, last night.
