Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler Talk it Out

So we learned that the selfish comments recently made by Gilbert Arenas were directed at Caron Butler, and mostly crafted out of Arenas’ frustration with the offense. Needless to say, Arenas never should have said anything publicly, but apparently the two have talked and patched it up.
So glad it didn’t evolve to the point [...]

Welcome Back, Kevin Durant?

One of the great things about the Twitter generation of media is the last members staying afloat in mainstream media get to pop off on random rumors and innuendo. None more gratifying than this ominous Tweet from @danshanoff:
What I learned from Barry Farms: Kevin Durant bolting OKC for DC in 2012 is the new LeBron [...]

The Science of Caron Butler Shooting More Than Gilbert Arenas

Yes, there is scientific data that proves the Wizards will be a better team with Caron Butler taking more shots than Gilbert Arenas. The Truth will indeed set the Wizards offense free.
Considering that I’m much more of a writer than a statistician, my take is based much more on the poetics of the matter than [...]

Randy Foye = Dwyane Wade?

If this recent post on the Wizards Insider is to be believed, then Ernie Grunfeld deserves GM of the Year. Now.
I remember watching the Timberwolves once on NBA League Pass last season, when Foye and the Timberwolves hosted Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat. The Timberwolves lost the game, 99-96, and Wade had a game-high [...]

Welcoming Randy Foye and Mike Miller

My first reaction to hearing that the Washington Wizards traded the fifth pick and a slew of lovable role players to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Mike Miller and Randy Foye was a hearty “NO! NOT POSSIBLE!” Granted, I was walking to an evening class and made the response on TwitterBerry, but still.
But the more I [...]

Why the Wizards Don’t Want Ricky Rubio

The rumors are flying about how the Wizards can carefully budget and maneuver to take Ricky Rubio in the upcoming NBA Draft. And for a while, I was all for those rumors.
But when you think about what it would cost for such a move to happen, like the future center of the team in JaVale [...]

Caron Butler’s First Pitch Swag

Caron Butler is going to throw out the first pitch at tomorrow’s Washington Nationals game against the Houston Astros.
Sadly, even though he’ll be attempting to reverse his first pitch fail from 2007, he would probably still be a prime candidate to join the Nats as a middle reliever.
UPDATE – The Bog has video on Caron’s [...]

Predicting the Injuries of the Washington Wizards

It’s over before it even gets started.
It was bad enough with Gilbert Arenas being out for knee problems, but Antawn Jamison too? What’s next, Caron Butler turns an ankle while runway modeling?
Will DeShawn Stevenson sprain the thumb on his shooting hand while swiping his black card at a Downtown Locker Room 80’s Gear Blowout sale? [...]

Why Gilbert Arenas Won’t Be the Wizards’ Best Player Next Season

Don’t let the outgoing personality fool you. Gilbert Arenas may be the most important player to the Washington Wizards franchise, but he won’t be its most talented.
Gilbert Arenas will likely be in better shape, and more efficient on offense as a result of his knee injury, but it won’t translate into him being the team’s [...]
