Arroyo deserves a watch thread more than darko.

I stand corrected.

I meant to type that Arroyo, who is 1 foot shorter than Darko, had FIVE TIMES the amount of rebounds that Darko had last night. Not twice. FIVE TIMES.

BUT HE WENT 5-8 FOR 11 POINTS!!! Oh yeah, and 1 vicious block.

ONLY I CAN USE CAPITAL LETTERS.

GET YOUR OWN SCHTICK!

hmm

just think if he could rebound!!...... acctually he would probably still be a piston if he could rebound [smilie=annoyed.gif]

I'm sure the 7'1 or 7'2 forward/center will add rebounding to his repertoire - - - the same year Ben Wallace becomes an 80% free throw shooter.

Hm....

Dwight Howard is a stud.

Rebounding is a timing issue and you can only work on developing that with playing time. Also maybe Dwight Howard is eating up all the rebounds down low?? I dunno, I'm not watching the games. I just think some here need Milicic to fail so they can still genuflect at the altar of Joe Dumars.

It's ridiculous to point to Arroyo's rebounds and compare them to Milicic's because Arroyo's rebounds very likely lopng rebounds and thus were out of the reach of any post player - it's not like Arroyo was banging for position with all the bigs in the low post and came up with the board.

Dwight Howard had 19 rebounds, Trevor Ariza crashes the boards like few other sf's had eleven - I'm thinking there wasn't too many loose boards to go Milicic's way.

Also who put Dalembert in foul trouble?? Howard or Milicic??

Need him to fail. Naw i think some here need him to do well in order to satisfy their craving of what ifs. the same what ifs they wasted on rodney white.

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.

orlando killed 76ers on the boards. but maybe darko should wrestle rebounds away from his teammates so that detractors cant use rebounds against him.

again, people went from:

he cant play, to

he can put up stats, but his team gets murdered while he's on the court, to

a very crappy team can win with darko playing 20 minutes a game (but a team with 4 allstars cant), but he doesnt grab rebounds from his teammates.

ps: franchise will still get you more wins (on a team of nobodys) than howard, this year. not saying theres a team in the league that would take franchise over howard, but this year, atleast, howard cant carry a team like franchise could.
