What the hell is going on here? Are the Washington Wizards thinking of changing their name back to the Washington Bullets?  Everybody knows what has happened (or what has been speculated).  Did Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton pull guns out on each other during a locker room argument or were they really just arguing over who has the “bigger gun”?


There are a few things about this idiotic situation that really stand out to me:


First of all, how dumb is Arenas to actually pull a gun out on a teammate, let alone while he is being investigated for having those guns in his locker in the first place?


Secondly, how stupid are the Wizards for allowing  Arenas to keep the guns in his locker after the NBA and authorities decided to investigate him?


Third, How dumb is Crittenton for his role in this whole mess (brandishing a firearm, brandishing a firearm against a teammate, brandishing a firearm against a teammate when it is painfully obvious that he is not allowed to have guns in his locker)?


And lastly, how will the real Wizard, David Stern make this problem disappear?


There are a lot of problems with what is going on here but what I want to know is what level of punishment will these to clowns face?  The NBA has been known to suspend players for fighting, for coming off of the bench to aid in a fight and in some cases coming off of the bench onto the court without even coming near the two fighters. And don’t forget about that special night with Ron Artest when he jumped into the stands to fight that fan that threw a beverage at him. Under normal circumstances this would be an in house fix like any other time two players get in a fight during or after practice.  But this is the first time I can think of where weapons are involved.


Personally, I think that both men deserve jail time and indefinite suspensions from the League. This is absolutely ridiculous and these two need to be made an example of.

Now Gilbert Arenas is saying that it is the Wizards’ fault that he hasn’t been able to return from his injuries successfully. You have got to be kidding me!!! The nerve of this guy to come out and say what he has said about the Washington Wizards. If you don’t already know, Arenas is blaming the Wizards for letting him do what he wanted to do.

He actually believes that since he couldn’t restrain himself from trying to return to the court, the franchise player who wines about everything on his blog, the Wizards are the one to blame for his troubles returning to full time duties. Not himself, the diva who has to have everything his way or else. He pisses and moans until he gets things his way and now that somebody has been able to get it through his thick stubborn skull that rest is what he needed the entire time, he feels that he needs to blame his employer for what he did to himself.

As of now, Gilbert Arenas is a game time decision for the Wizards game on Saturday 3/28/09. He will most likely play sparingly and he will not play in back to back games for sure. He might have been worth owning this whole time in Head 2 Head leagues for the playoffs but it doesn’t look like he will have much of an impact. It would have been nice to see him play a couple weeks ago and get into better game shape before the fantasy playoffs began but the Wizards don’t really care about Arenas’ fantasy value I’m sure.


I don’t see him getting enough minutes the rest of the season to even consider starting him unless you are in a roto league and need scoring. You know that Arenas will take every shot possible when he returns to the court. This shouldn’t really do anything to any of the other Wizards and their stats because Arenas doesn’t look to be getting significant minutes. Personally, I don’t see why the Wizards are even putting him out there. The risk is much higher than the reward. They should just leave him on the bench and protect their franchise player until next year when they can start over fresh.
