So? He's already playing better than their starting C.

But oh no, lets keep him on the bench because if he starts Orlando might fall further into the lottery Rolling Eyes this isn't a play-off team, it's pointless screwing around with that kind of garbage.


Do you even watch basketball? :lol:

1. They want to resign Battie. Darko still gets close to 30 minutes per night.

2. They're obviously tanking games. If you watched their last games, Hill takes his best players out of the game as soon as Magic starts to lead. Either that or he's a moron. Or both.

lol, seriously, Dweaver i swear you are a Spurs fan....you talk more about them than your warriors.

But oh no, lets keep him on the bench because if he starts Orlando might fall further into the lottery this isn't a play-off team, it's pointless screwing around with that kind of garbage.


perhaps after the all-star break they figured to make a final push. I'd be surprised if they don change the starters by the end.

Battie said that he would be okay with coming off the bench. Why isn't Darko starting then?

I think he's still coming off the bench because he's still learning the magics plays

and Alonzo The 2nd? Thats gotta be a good thing coz Alonzo was awesome before the kidney thing....Him and LJ in Charlotte were a great combo!!

And versus detroit...will we see fire works?...maybe fireworks against NEw York...i might try and kill Larry Brown for nearly killing his career? :)

Is it at Detroit? If it is, imagine him getting a huge swat on Sheed or Ben! I would love that sooooo much.

Hes got to keep it up though...he cant start playing shit or he will wind up on the Magic bench and eventually back in Serbia.

he's alredy the best shot blocker on the team and one if it's best defenders. He shows agressively on S/R's.......one of the best in the league at it if we look at his stint with Magic thus far.

A bad game from Darko - 2 points, 3 rebounds (2 offensive), 2 blocks, 1/3 shooting, 21 minutes. I haven't watched the game yet, but I believe they weren't exactly giving him the ball a lot.

Dayum :shock:. I won't say I completely disagree with him, but he's certainly better on defensive end that he makes hom to be.

Nah Rosen is right though. He summarised his game well.

Offensively, he had same problem in Detroit....lack of inclusion. Not shots, but passes, screens, touches etc.

he looks bored when hes playing... even when he had somewhat decent minutes early on in the season, playing in the second quarter and whatnot.
