Of course Lebron is pouting, he expects shit to be easy, he thought he would be way ahead of Jordan's development right now, he expects the NBA to hand him a damn championship(s). It's really funny because it's times like this where I really appreciate Kobe and what it means for the league to have someone like him as a cutthroat competitor who would just slap LBJ and tell his ass to play the damn game in the form of championships.
People still forget that Jordan and his Bulls took years to truly become great, they kept crashing out to the Pistons several seasons in a row and Jordan even admitted later that he almost gave up.
Yes Heat are not playing aswell as they were hyped (by ESPN and SI mostly), and while its really boring to say this: They truly do need more time to play together. I know its more entertaining to start saying LeBron hates Spo, Bosh hates LeBron, Wade is neutral but hates his baby mama and all this drama.
But this team simply needs time, they should and will make the playoffs, thinking they would beat the Bulls record in their first season together is absolutely insane and was only believed by new basketball fans who started watching 2-3 years ago.

Seems that Darko has both of these right now, and a more than NBA ready body, and he isnt damaged goods. That and a high shot count per game helps due to bad defensive schemes and tons of at the rim action.
is it unfathomable that Darko might actually have some talent?

He was taken over Melo, Bosh, Wade. Over other big men like Perkins and Kaman. There will always be a blemish on the Pistons organization.

Yeah no kidding. I honestly don't know why he was so eager to leave Cleveland in the summer. The Cavs were regularly the best/one of the best teams in the regular season and the owner was committed to spend and overpay to get the right pieces so they'll have a championship caliber team every year. It wasn't like the Cavs were in lottery hell like Kevin Garnet. I mean if he stayed with the Cavs, I can see the team being like the Mavs, making the playoffs every year and spending money on players to make sure they're a playoff caliber team. I mean even if he doesn't win a nba title (ala nowvitski) , I don't people would call him a failure.
And his supporting cast in Cleveland wasn't even that bad. I mean they suck right now but if you took the best player from every playoff team, most teams would probably be lottery bound (except for lakers maybe).

Can't really complain except his fg % is strangely low for a 7 foot center. I think he settles for jump shots too much or something. He did have a pretty good game against Dwight Howard though but he still disappears a lot late in games.
