    you dont have to make the ECF to own the east, were talking about best player not postseason record. and not one player in the east comes close to tmac in overall skill.</div>
    haha. it doesnt matter what kind of skills he's got if his team cant make it out of the first round in the frickin EASTERN conference.</div>

    could you do better?</div>

    WTF? he is a fan..not a player....the fact mcgrady can't get out of round one in the east is just plain sad..

    Also kidd....two straight finals appearances....i would rather have him on my team than mcgrady..who gives you dunks..flash and points...but nothing else</div>

    could i do better than tmac? that question's not even worth answering.

    if Darko is what those quotes say he is, he could own the East. if he plays like a real big man, it's very possible. these are all "ifs" though, ok?

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting "allnet":</div><div class="quote_post">I don't think people understand how great it is to get the 2nd pick after making the ECF...and being 1st seed..it is an unbelieveable. feeling....let me and others enjoy it....we can talk up darko all we want on the off-season..because he hasn't played a game....he will be joining a very good team...he won't have anywhere near as much pressure as melo and james will have.....let me enjoy it......</div>

    you dont like critisizim on yrou fav players or your fav team... get used to it man... I dont want to hear that... there is no player that has been critisized or been has been seen as the great player he is more than Kevin Garnett...

    I don't mind if people critise him..as long as they back up their points....but they normally can't..as they havn't even seen him play...but that was not the point i was trying to make..my point was let me talk about darko all i want....as having this pick is amazing for pistons basketball and the city...if posters bash my team or players..i will defend them all the way by making my points...

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting "ShadyRecords":</div><div class="quote_post">^ tmac will neverpass kobe....tmac is a selfish ball hog that thinks he has no talent on his team so he doesnt pass the ball...kobe may hav shaq but remeber kobe carried taht team this year...he was the main man...and his stats where wit another superstar....imagine if he was the only superstar on the team...he would hav more boards, points, mayb less assists...tmac doesnt play defense...he will never be bettr than kobe....</div>

    1st off tmac is about tied with kobe this year.

    2nd off, he's not a ballhog, he doesn't have a consistent 2nd scorer. the 2nd scorer could be anyone. so he passes to the shooters and they brick it, so his assists aren't that good. u must not watch tmac much to say he's a ball hog.

    3rd, kobe didn't carry the team and never will as long as shaq's around.

    4th, less assists for sure, about the same points, about the same boards.

    5th, tmac is a good defensive player, the reason why he doesn't get the attention is because ESPN sucks kobe's dick too much and kobe has shaq, so that makes his defense about 10x better than it really is. i still think kobe prob has better defense than tmac, but it won't be by as much as everyone says.

    back to darko. he will be good, but he won't own the east.

    kobe only averaged 5.9 apg. after the trade tmac averaged 6.1 so that automatically tells tmac isnt a ballhog.

    anyone in the nba can play better than i can. they should be able to school a 5'10" 14 year old girl for gods sake. that doesnt stop me from comparing them and their skills to other guys in the nba and deciding what i think of their talent

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting "allnet":</div><div class="quote_post"><div class="quote_poster">Quoting "purehoops":</div><div class="quote_post">allnet the way you carry yourself about Darko is you make him out to be a star... this kid hasnt even played a game and your already sayin he will own the Eastern Confernece... these are just quotes, words from peoples mouths... not everyone is right on everythin... for all we know this kid could be worse than Shawn Bradley (its an assumption like yours on how he will own the east)... </div>

    If people don't like that i say darko will be great..don't read the pistons..forum...i'm very confident in his game...if he doesn't produce and does terrible...then oh well.....it was a mistake..but right now..this is the off-season and there is nothing else to talk about.....i actually only said darko will own the east..in anger..in reply to some poster above saying crap like only lebron and melo are the only kings of this draft... :roll:

    pistons fans are allowed to be hopful on on players..and more so a guy like darko.....

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">this kid hasnt even played a game and your already sayin he will own the Eastern Confernece</div>

    No different to what people are saying about lebron and melo.....</div>

    yea but to be fair you also were very confident that detroit was going to make the finals a couple months ago. Face it allnet youre not a great fortune teller. you spend more time with your foot in your mouth than a contortionist. Darko isnt going to OWN anything even if he does turn out to be a success. the pistons know hes not an MVP type player. not like kareem not like shaq. Hes a dunleavy or laetner type

    ^^ burn

    darko is going to be a solid player. he's in a great situation because there are no expectations for him to carry this team. he can just take his time to learn the system and flourish in it. i'm curious to see how he fits in alongside big ben and how defends. joe dumars is a great evaluator of talent and more importantly a good judge of character. darko is going to be a huge asset for the pistons now and in the future. he models his style after kg, so we'll just have to wait and see what he has to bring to the table.

    hes and assett. hell be a solid player but he doesnt have the toughness to be a star and certainly not a dominator in the NBA. there have been so many player with expectations like his that maybe wernt picked so high because darkos draft class is so weak

    too early to say if he will have the toughness or the skill to dominate. you can argue either way, but let's just wait a few more weeks for summerleagues and then we will all have a better idea of what this kid has or doesn't have.

    playing against men and ex nba players in europe gives him and edge over a lot of the college kids and highschoolers, imo. i've heard so many mixed opinions and reports on him. one i guy i know in croatia says his cocky attitude on the court is a huge weakness. he gets flustered easily and easily gets distracted from staying within the team game. but when he's focused he's pretty unstoppable in those leagues, and he's extremely aggressive. so it's hard to say how darko's attitude will be when he steps on the nba court.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">yea but to be fair you also were very confident that detroit was going to make the finals a couple months ago</div>

    What is your point? i'm a fan..and we were the 1st seed..why the hell shouldn't i be confident? i refuse to downplay my team....thats just the way i am

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Face it allnet youre not a great fortune teller.</div>

    :roll: Who says i was one...THEY ARE PREDICTIONS!! you know what they are... right? something you hope to happen....but might not..predictions....and you are the last person to tell me i'm not a great fortune teller after this years palyoffs..with K-mart and the nets...i said he would dominate wallker..he did..i said martin would put up 20 and 10 throughout the playoffs...he did til the last few games of the finals..i said nets would get two games against the spurs and they did..something you all said never would happen..so you are the last person to being this fortune teller rubbish up...."you spend more time with your foot in your mouth than a contortionist" Actually you do...look at the above....

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Darko isnt going to OWN anything</div>

    Really how do you know? can you see the future? cut the bull..you hope and pray he won't....i only said it anyway because of some crap you said about melo and lebron being the only kings of the draft :roll:

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">. the pistons know hes not an MVP type player</div>

    What? if they didn't think he could help them big time and be a superstar type player they wouldn't of picked him...they think big things of him...you all of a sudden think you know what is going on with the pistons? very odd....

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Hes a dunleavy or laetner type</div>

    [​IMG] i'm not even going to bother with this statement..my god


    don't come in this forum if you don't like what i say about darko..this is A PISTONS FORUM!! us pistons fans can say what we like about any of our players and hype them up as much as we want..THIS IS THE OFF-SEASON!!!..you don't have to come here and post about our team....this is why there are team forums...as us fans can talk about our players and how good we think they will be e.t.c....if you don't like what i say...then tough....darko may have a terrible NBA career..or a great one..but i should at least be allowed to be confident in his game....which i am

    So right here you are saying hes better than JO right now, because in your next post you say Oneal dissappears in big games which is NOT true, so I guess every game with Darko according to your logic will be big games and JO will disappear. LOL

    haha, that is rite if kobe stays in the west, if he goes to the Bobcats in 2004 then tmac needs to watch out.....allnet who do u think owns the east?</div>

    No player owns the east right now...kidd i guess does..because he led his team to the finals back to back years....so i would sya him...not t-wack..i mean mac</div>

    Quotes like these will always lessen your arguement when you are trying to make a point on a player because of calling players Wack when they clearly are not. Its childish actually

    Where did i say he was better than JO? darko is not better right now...but he could be who knows.......and yes JO does dissapear in big games...playoffs last two years prove that one.He is a very good player but he isn't clutch..

    And where in this quote did i say he was better than JO?
