Naw, not really.
I probably owe you an apology or something. I usually like what you bring (in an entertaining fanatic sort of way). It's not even a bad day or anything.
Sorry for the heat.

BTW: Did you get the joke? You called me a persecuted martyr, and I responded with why do you hate me, as if I were a persecuted martyr.
I didn't catch that. Your lawyer tongue is too quick for my mind (Actually I was too self-centered to see your cleverness and I instantly started reflecting on what was going on with me to cause the flame to come out of nowhere).
Good work counselor.
alright, enough of this manlove.

OK, so the point isn't lost...
The point isn't I'm a martyr.
The point is neither supporters nor bashers will admit that he's nothing more than a journeyman big man shot blocker who will stay in the league as long as he wants and will always have a team willing to pay him a few mil per year, but will never be a star, ala Shawn Bradley.

I would tend to agree on most counts.Quote:

Changing your stripes is a nearly impossible thing to do.
I also think it's safe to say that he was overhyped before the draft. The kind of "phenom" shit that was being published/reported by the likes of Chad Ford didn't just "go away" it was never there to begin with.
The point is that logic is lost here.Quote:

Good luck staying there.
19 minutes|10 points(5-10)|7rebounds|4blocks|2assists|2 fouls|0turnovers|
also should point out that he was on the court when orlando made their run in the 4th. (i also believe he was on the court in the 2nd when they made a push). in fact, it seems that orlando plays their best when darko is on the court.
magic 4-1 in last 5. not bad for a team thats tanking.
weird nobody said "they" were "tanking". i do remember a few people saying one of their players was "tanking" here to force Joe D to trade him. and his work in orlando is proof.Quote:

by 'a few people' are you referring to yourself saying the same thing 3000000000 times?
what are you talking about? are you trying to say that YOU thought they were gonna tank???? Because your reading on my post is all backwards. I NEVER SAID ORLANDO WAS TANKING. sowtf are you talking bout.Quote:

If I had 3000000000 repeats. thats 3000000000 times you didnt get it. and i need to add one more after this crazy post about penny. [smilie=annoyed.gif]
hmmm... maybe i was a little confusing on that, i'll clarify.
the second orlando traded franchise (and then waived the guy they traded him for) was the second they gave up on the season.
orlando was already a bad team. giving away franchise should have made them a team that cant win games. they've won 4 in 5. i'd say theyre overachieving, and darko is a big part of their success.
i disagree, he was a ballhog and grant hill IMO was a better team player. either way teams are better than stars. the major factor in their wins having a pg who can run the offense(arroyo). it gives all their jump shooters a better shot. its odd that you point to darko when its obvious that its arroyo earning his value there. if we just only gave them arroyo they'd be better off than if we just only gave them darko.Quote:

I think it's a little bit of both.Quote:

Me: See what I'm saying? He's a great shotblocker but mediocre in every other category. He's Shawn Bradley with a few less inches of height.
He also heaved the ball out of bounds to absolutely no one every time the defense put any pressure on him (twice).
He actually had 3 blocks (and 3 rebounds) in just under 12 minutes. [smilie=a.gif]Quote:

But yea....Darko got a start...good for him.
Are you serious?Quote:

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.
