16 points,
5 rebounds (0 off, 5 def),
2 assists,
0 steals,
3 blocks,
1 turnover,
4 fouls,
7/11 field goals,
0/0 3pt field goals,
2/4 free throws.

Secondly, when the Portland TrailBlazers played the Denver Nuggets (155-119 win to the Nuggets), Darius Miles finally justified the hype that has surrounded him since he entered the NBA! His stats for the game were:
40 minutes,
47 points,
12 rebounds (4 off, 8 def),
0 assists,
4 steals,
5 blocks,
1 turnover,
3 fouls,
19/33 field goals,
1/3 3pt field goals,
8/14 free throws.

I think Miles came off the bench for that 47 too!

Yea he did, so it was a monster effort. Considering the stuff he has done lately I think he needed a big game to silence the critics.

That's amazing that he could do that off the bench, that's straight out of left field. Who would have thought that Miles could have done that? Must have been a monster game to watch doesn't look like there was much defence looking at the score line

I think that Darko was even more surprising coming up with those numbers is pretty damn freaky and the fact that he started? Larry must have some tricks up his sleeve for the finals

I think the reason he started was the fact that Rip was out!

He's 7'! I think he was probably starting in place of Rasheed Wallace rather than Rip! From ESPN too:

SKINNY: Milicic started on Tuesday night in place of Rasheed Wallace (hamstring), and produced a career high 16 points with five rebounds, three blocks, and two assists in 30 minutes of action.

As Sydney Dean once said.... "Hey billy every dog has his day, anybody can win the lottery"

Lets see in Darius can put some decent games together for someone with so much talent

The next game Vs. the Lakers:
Darius Miles - 22 minutes
8 points
6 rebounds
2 assists
0 steals
0 blocks
I think that game versus Denver was a one-off and may not happen again!
