<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">ORLANDO, Fla. - Four days into a fresh opportunity at redemption, and Darko Milicic is already sulking. The name on the uniform is different, but the seat at the end of the bench hasn't changed. He doesn't get it. And he probably never will. He can't even play on a team that has given up hope on the season. "I didn't come here to sit on the bench," Milicic said Thursday after the Orlando Magic's practice. "I tell myself that everything will be fine here, but right now, nothing has changed. I want to play. I need to play. I learn nothing sitting on the bench."Nothing has changed. Darko still blames other factors for his inactivity. He eagerly embraced his emancipation from the Pistons, somehow convincing himself that liberation from his self-described "nightmare" would immediately register into consistent playing time with the Magic. But Darko didn't play one second in his second game with the Magic, Wednesday at New Jersey. "You have to ask them why," Darko said of the coaches.</div> http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews...ts/13946223.htm Brian Hill should just play him.
I think it was blown out of context. According to the posters at realGm that watched the thing, he said here meaning the US, not specifically Orlando.
Well I can understand.. Not playing in the second half of the Cavs game and then not playing in the last game.. He shouldn't be starting this now though. It's been 3 games.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting On_The_Rim29:</div><div class="quote_post">He shouldn't be starting this now though. It's been 3 games.</div> More like three years.
Well yeah, i am sure he's been going through hell not playing, but he is on a new team. He has to give it a chance.
Look at the source, it's from the San Jose Mercury News. San Jose is no where near Orlando, it's out here in California. I think this story was written to put down Darko because the Warriors failed to trade for him. His comments were taken completely off base just to generate some negative press. BTW he played a solid 22 minutes tonight and produced 8 points 5 rebounds and 2 blocks. Most importantly Orlando won the game.
Well i mean if u see it from Darko's point of view he basically finished his sentence in jail for comming in the league to young and while hes walking out they are quickly shutting the door and going to throw him back in of course he would get very worried. But today we released him and he assured us he will be good. POSTING 8pts 5rebounds 2blks see told you he could play right away
He played alot last night and his minutes should even increase more if he plays like that all the time. It wasn't spectacular but solid, he should be a nice compliment to Dwight and Battie off the bench.
