Memphis finally got off the schneid, breaking a 4 game losing streak with a home win over the Indiana Pacers last night. It could prove to be a costly win though, as Darko Milicic suffered a broken knuckle and could be out for an extended period of time. That's particularly bad news with the Spurs and Suns on the schedule for the next few games, given that his defense on Duncan and Shaq will be sorely...

Joe Dumars has often heard criticism for not drafting well. There are certainly examples of questionable draft choices by the Pistons under Dumars - from Mateen Cleaves to Rodney White to, obviously, Darko Milicic. But Tayshaun Prince was a great draft pick late in the first round. Mehmet Okur was a terrific choice in the second round. And Rodney Stuckey has provided the Pistons with a

by Brett Edwards Filed under: Grizzlies , NBA Videos There was some questionable, low quality video floating around the other day of Darko Milicic ripping his jersey open in frustration during the Grizzlies' game against the Rockets. Thankfully, the team itself has provided us a better look at the clothing carnage, and has posted it at NBA.com for all to see. Or, you can just watch it right here....

I hate to interrupt the Gheorghe-mas festivities going on (not true), but I absolutely could not let another day pass without posting this clip of Darko Milicic and his 24 inch pythons (give or take 12-15 inches) ripping his jersey to shreds in frustration over a foul call two nights ago. That's right brotha, Darko's a real American!

(On FreeDarko they have a jokey meter of Darko Milicic's mood. The headline of this post is what that thing says at the moment of this writing.) I watched most of the Grizzlies vs. Rockets last night, and one of the things I noticed was that Darko Milicic made a difference. Frustration: 7-footers like Milicic aren't accustomed to much taller opponents. (Photo by Joe Murphy/NBAE/Getty Images) Like,...

Darko did his best Hulk Hogan impersonation against the Rockets last night. Oh, and SLAMonline does not endorse opportunistically placed assertions at the end of interesting YouTube clips (we may not disagree with said statements, either).

“I used to enjoy playing and scoring,” Memphis’ Darko Milicic tells the Commercial-Appeal’s Ronald Tillery, bemoaning his current state, pigeonholed as a defensive specialist. “This isn’t the way I want to finish my career.” Milicic, who will be a 2010 free agent, could return to Europe. “I lot of days I think that,” Milicic said, “because [...]

Darko Milicic (2.13-C) gave an interview to commercialappeal.com where he stated that he is beginning not to like the game in the NBA anymore and that he would like to play in Europe where the level of basketball is very good and that he will also be closer to his homeland. Milicic doesn't want to be typecasted into a defensive player: "I lot of days I think that," Milicic said, "because the only way...

I've had Allen Iverson's back since he was smashing fools upside the head with chairs at the bowling alley. I even owned a pair of I3's! But it's time to call a Spade a Spade and say this trade was a horrible idea by Joe Dumars. Darko Milicic bad. Yeah, you got an expiring contract. But the guy can't shoot for shit and his defense is a disaster. Exhibit A: Devin Harris ripping A1 Sauce for 38 points...
