They let me play. I needed some body to give me a chance. This is the first time in my career that I'm playing this many minutes and playing well. It feels good." 對上馬刺隊，Milicic更將自己在場上重要性提升。對手在他持球時進行包夾，這對他是 十分難得的經驗。 "I like double-teams," he said. "I know I can't finish every play. If I see double-teams coming at me, I know one of my teammates will be open and I can get the ball to them." Kurt Rambis 和教練團對於 Milicic 的指導逐漸收到成效，特別是在腳步以及體能狀態 。現在常常能在關鍵時刻見到 Milicic 在場上，他是球隊主要的進攻選擇，也是內線重 要屏障。 Kahn 很開心 Milicic 逐漸找回他的自信。 "Darko is playing better than we anticipated, considering he hasn't played much in the past two years. I'm very happy for him." --
