30Assists Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Tony does bring a couple things that Darko doesn't (yet - I'm a firm believer that Darko's eventually going to be a **** good player in this league): Leadership, energy, consistency. Quote

Marc Acres 3:16 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 We should have been developing Darko's jumper in addition to the post game, that way he could have created space in the way that Tony does. Smack mentioned this the other night but we should be using Darko like we used Horace. If they genuinely believe that Darko is only a 2nd stringer and nothing more then they need to trade him before he walks. I doubt he is going to want to settle for 2nd string money. Quote

Those three words are very important right now to make it to the play-offs... Besides Darko will probably end up with most of the minutes when he's on... It's just good to have Tony back ...When we can use him the most. Quote
Undisputed4 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Tony has a nice smooth quick jumper. Darko doesnt Quote
Skywise316 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 I think the jury's still out on what lineup is better, but here's an idea. How about trying Having Dwight and Darko start with Battie coming off the bench? Battie's fought for that from the beginning of the season, by the way. It's still something B.Hill hasn't even thought about doing yet this season when all three guys are healthy. Either way, I don't think Darko could of picked a worse time in the season to get hurt, just as Battie was coming back. Quote
EnFuego Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 This is an interesting move. Has Brian decided to be more fluid with his starting line-up and move poeple in an out of it for performance reasons? If he is, this is a big improvement over his previous style. Or is Brian simply forcing the issue of the win to stubornly go back to the starting line-up he likes (Batie, Dwight, Hedo, Hill, Nelson). Did Otis impose starting Darko on him and this is his way to justify going back to the starting line-up HE thinks will work? I'd like to think the first explanation is the one. Optinions may vary but the next five games will tell if he is going to change things around or if we're going to see more of the same. Quote

serbianeagle Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 yep Batie is 10 time worse then Darko in every aspect of the game. Darko's defense is indisputable.If he puts up with this **** then he need to sign for anyone else. sweet jumper,lmfao there are stats to say it all. Quote
jack daniel 999 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Right now ... It's not about who's better. We need our 3 headed MONSTERS..To play their as*es off in order to get to the play-offs.... GO MAGIC!!!!!!!!! Quote
mire Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 well I'm disgusted when darko got the starting spot brian told us darko's gonna get his start when battie gets back now this?? that two face 3$@$# yeah, darko's inconsistent but this will shatter his confidence and make him more likely to sign elsewhere... I would be pissed now if I was darko... Quote

I think the above posters have pretty much nailed it: Tony will start and set a tone for the game, Darko will come in and play the bulk of the minutes (and maybe learn a few things about it and bring back that 'dark side' that had the Pistons use the 2nd pick in the first place).
