I'm sure you'll appreciate my take on your comments, Jerve.

Most Americans don't know a Serb from a serf. They're all just "Europeans." Well, at least as long as they're not FRENCH!

Most Americans don't do colour commentary for multi-national media conglomerates or copy-edit sports magazines produced by the same. I can assure you that even a half-wit like Bill Walton is familiar enough with Serbs and his sentiments toward them fit accordingly. Surely it colours is commentary...so to speak.

Darko tonight against Chicago. Playing 27 minutes he snatched 8 boards, was 6-12 shooting and blocked 4 shots.

From Yahoo:  Orlando scored six straight to pull within 84-79. The lead was down to 85-83 with 5:15 left in the game after Chicago's Tyson Chandler traveled and Darko Milicic dunked. And it was 86-85 after Milicic's finger roll with 3:01 left.

It's great to see Darko "overachieving" on a regular basis.  I can't wait till he becomes a full-fledged star and really throws it back in the face of the army of Caste System "journalists" who had made his name synonymous with "major flop" when he was still just a teenager.

Orlando has played very well as of late, beating Dalls, Detroit , Miami and this evening San Antonio. Darko played 27 minutes, nabbed 7 boards, was 5-9 from field and blocked 3 shots.  He's had 6 his previous 2 games playing a total of 40 something minutes. Next year should be interesting.

Darko has been playing at about the same level as last year, his stats are about the same.  I'd like to see him step it up a bit more, but he is still very young and the team he is with has a lot of talented players.  At least he's found a home and is happy.

Update: Milicic said he wants to stay in Orlando and that money isn't the most important factor in his re-signing with the club, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Recommendation: "Being in the right place, having good teammates who want to win, good guys. . . . that is more important than money sometime," Milicic said. "If you see those things, that is better for you." This could be no truer for Milicic, who has found a home in Orlando after riding the bench and being the human victory cigar in Detroit. His game is developing really nicely, averaging 21.6 minutes, 7.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and two blocked shots this season.
