Wow! He musta wanted revenge on Brown.
13 points | 7 rebounds | 4 blocks | 2 assists | 1 steal | 6-11 and only 1 TO. (Y) (Y)

Hopefully he starts the rest of the season.

He'll be an All-star in three years, book it.

All Star ...quite possibly, but that doesnt mean very much.

All Defensive Team...Highly likely, and that means alot more in my books.

He started because Howard showed up late for the shootaround.

"Howard, a 20-year-old drafted last year out of high school, missed the first start of his entire athletic career after showing up late for shootaround. He scored 10 points in the first quarter after entering the period with just 4:17 left -- many of them on putback dunks for three-point plays. He had started 149 straight games for Orlando.

"Traffic is traffic. But it's no excuse for me to be late," Howard said. "I'm a leader for the team and I can't be late for shootaround or anything. So it's my fault."

Howard is really mature for a guy one year out of high school. Orlando definately have a twin towers force for the future. :D

13 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block and 3 assists in 29 minutes. I'm glad he's showing some consistency with scoring.

Another solid game by Darko. He also shot 6/9 from the field, and 1/2 from the line. According to NBA.com, he played 26 minutes, not 29.

Yep you are absolutely right, 1 TO and 2 fouls. Great game by Darko, and how about those 4 blocks, he's turned out to be a great shot blocker.

Probably his best all-around game for now. Some clutch moments there, also.

Well he certainly should be starting... Tony Battie is a solid backup center.. but he isnt very good. He's not even averaging 6 boards , and he is the starting center... how the hell is he playing over Darko?

Thig guy is a good player at best....i dont see him ever making the all-star game but once..if he has a hot season. Like that one season clifford robinson had.

Wait and see. After not playing at all for almost three seasons Darko is'nt in that form needed to play 30-35 minutes yet. It will take him all of the summer to get back in shape and more familiar with his new team. So I predict next season the tandem Darko-Dwight is a nightmare for all teams( if not next then certainly the year after)... Darkos stats will be about 15 pts, 8 rebs, 3 blocks and 1 steal next year (Y) If he gets to play ofcourse :wink:
