"I got a chance to show people what I can do," Darko Milicic said.

The last game of a very interesting season is upon us...

vbookie should be doing an over/under for Darko's points tonight lol.

i for one am hoping he gets the start and doesn't get in foul trouble. 30 points 6 blocks 4 rebounds....Then the world can end in peace lol

[irishfury]

it is just worth watching game to watch darko more yayyyyyy....

[Copper]

Im pulling for D but I get the feeling he will have alot more pressure placed on him now and the media will be all over him. I will be pleasantly surprised if he can show enough maturity and poise to shake off the pressure and nervous bugs and duplicate or improve on his performance. If he can? I think he will have officially arrived and we can lay off the bust posts. If he fails? I will simply view that as a rookie learning how tough it is to be a focal point on a nightly basis. I wont lose hope in him though, the progress he made last night cant be chalked up to fluke or inferior opponent, he made plays and grew on the court before our eyes and a set back wont diminish that.

Great. Hopefully he can avoid early foul trouble and he can top the 30 minute mark. He'll have a challenge in front of him tonight as he goes up against Emeka Okafor.

[kamego]

Don't be suprised to see Ben take Oakafor and Darko play the 5. LB will be trying to make sure he doesn't run into foul trouble.

[DetBNyce]

Good point, although at some point and time I think he could be matched up with Okafor.

[kamego]

I am sure he will be for some time but if he gets an early foul, I would expect to see him rotate to the 5. The Bobcats won't have anyone to match up with him there.

[DetBNyce]

I agree although Melvin Ely is no slouch on D. I think Tayshaun or Dupree posterizes someone tonight.

[Brian]

This is a much better barometer on how good Darko really is at this point. I would like to see how well he does vs Okefor.

[nmuman]

Anyone want to bet me 1000 points that Darko gets 20 points tonight?

[kamego]

you taking the under or over?

[nmuman]

20 or over.
