Wolves' Milicic simply 'a defensive guy'
MINNEAPOLIS He's too much of a presence to be a non-entity, and as much as he'd like to fade into the background, Darko Milicic cannot.
After eight years in the NBA, he should know that. He should realize that at 7-feet and 275 pounds, he stands out on the court. Even though he's surrounded in the middle of the action, everyone can still see him.

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’ – As Read by Darko Milicic
This is a bit old and was used for the Wolves home opener, but it still makes me laugh every time.
The first comments summed up my thoughts perfectly:

Sales Job Needed
It seems to me after watching the team the last few years and seeing where we are now that a HUGE step towards putting the final pieces in the puzzle for this team would be establishing a few role players. I know, I know, we still need a point guard and probably a better center but hear me out.
There are some incredibly talented players on this team that have some very big...

Kevin Love Buries a 3 to beat Lob City - Darko Milicic is Alive
Kevin Love buried a three pointer as time expired in regulation on Friday night to beat the Clippers. OF COURSE TNT's Hubie Brown broke the play down for the viewers. Love finished with 17 points and 14 rebounds and Lob City's Blake Griffin went for 21 and 10. There was a Darko Milicic sighting as the #2 overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft carved up the Clippers for 22...

Minnesota Timberwolves’ Center Debate: Milicic vs. Randolph
Their record stands at just 4-8, but the Minnesota Timberwolves have gotten off to a respectable start to their 2011-12 season.
The hard to watch blowouts are a thing of yesteryear, while nail biting conclusions have become a common occurrence.
The product on the court is much improved from last year’s squad. The coaching staff has proven to be an immense upgrade as well.

Wolves vs Wizards Good, Bad Ugly.
Good-
Rubio/Williams- The rookie duo played very well today when they came in the game changed. I think today we saw the difference between Rubio and other young point guards who might be better athletes. Rubio knows the game and how to play. John Wall for all the hype doesnt make his teamates much better.
Kevin Love- Solid as usual from Love. He played against a team...

Darko Milicic aside, Pistons get high marks for draft picks
A common misconception is that the Pistons' front office usually makes mistakes on draft night. Most of that stems from the selection of Darko Milicic with the second pick in 2003 in one of the most talent-rich drafts in NBA history and two other drafting misadventures in Michigan State star Mateen Cleaves (2000) and Rodney White (2001).

NBA Draft expansion: What does it do to/for Europe?
Sports media and the blogosphere blew up a couple days ago, as the possibility of adding a third round to the NBA draft was reported to have been discussed as part of the ongoing labor negotiations. By day’s end Wednesday, some had publicly opined that this idea could be the “Best Thing To Come From [the] Lockout.”
