FanShot Quotes

Butler's dunk on Kevin Martin was No. 1. Nick Young's dunk on LeBron was No. 2. Caron's game-winner in the playoffs is 3 following by Stevenson's game winner in New Orleans. At five, give me the win at Boston. At six, I'll take Haywood's classic response to LeBron James being a crybaby. At 7, I'll take the dunk Andres Nocioni threw down over Oleksiy Pecherov. When Chicago's game operations folks put a picture of Stewey from Family Guy over Pecherov's face on the replay, I lost it.

At 8, I'll go with the game itself and Butler's 40-point performace in Milwaukee on Jan. 27 (just an incredible game to see live). At 9, I'll go with two games in Miami when I got to watch the Heat dancers perform from only a few feet away. (The Miami Heat dancers: where amazing happens). And at 10, give me the Nov. 2 game in Boston when Kevin Garnett and the new-look Celtics made their first regular season appearance. Just a great atmosphere.

I just left Detroit's shoot-around a little while ago. Flip Saunders won't come out and say it, but Jarvis Hayes is by all accounts out of the team's rotation. You saw his minutes start to dip in the Philly series, and continued to fall against Orlando. And in Game 2, he didn't play (coaches decision) at all, the first time that has happened this season.

M-Live. I do feel bad for the guy, but I'm hardly surprised.

The future is the future. I want to be back in Washington, but weird things happen in free agency. If Antawn is not back, then there’s no point in me coming back because he’s part of my success, too. When you’re doing pick and roll with a player like him, they can’t double you, they can’t trap you because you have a pick and pop guy who can shoot the three at your four position. My success is because of him too. If he doesn’t come back, I’m not coming back.

I know everybody is focusing on whether I’m coming back, but I’m focusing on what he’s doing. If he doesn’t come back, then I’m not coming back.

Gil's latest blog post. The whole thing is a doozy, so I recommend everyone check it out. Later on, Gilbert responds to his critics, and that's always fun to read.

Arenas, who is seeking a long-term max deal that could exceed $100 million, said he will be turning in the early termination papers by the June 30th deadline so he will be a free agent when the period begins on July 1.

Mike Jones on Outlet.

Well that's jolly. At least we know for sure.

I look forward to both of them coming back. Obviously, I don't have that much input but publicly, I'm saying what I'm saying right now. I would love to have them back. I think that will be the case and I'm almost positive that will be the case.

I just have a hunch, a reliable source.

"No, he's crazier than me. I'm already broken. I learned early. He's not filtered. I think about stuff. Mine goes through the filter first." - Gilbert Arenas, on whether DeShawn Stevenson is as crazy as he is.

Folks are asking about Coach Eddie Jordan's status. Here's my read: unless Ernie Grunfeld experienced a major change of heart the last few days, I think he's safe. He's under contract and folks all over the league feel that he and his staff did a great job with an injury-ravaged team this season. I know folks are emotional about this whole thing and want major changes now but take a deep breath and ask yourself a serious question: are any of these coaches who are out there better than Jordan? Another: did any other playoff coach go through what Jordan did this season with the injuries and an ownership that refused to budge on the luxury tax, thus forcing him to consistently practice with seven or eight bodies? I've covered this team for three full seasons now and feel that Eddie did his best work this season. That said, folks are free to disagree.

Ivan Carter.

All good, except there are better coaches out there (Avery, D'Antoni, etc). I'll have more on this another time, but I hope Ernie thinks about it more than this.

This might be the worst loss of the LeBron era. Unbelievable. Horribly ugly game. Turnovers, missed shots, no aggressiveness until the second half. They played so poorly I couldn’t even believe it was a close game.

And then, when they had a chance to end it up 87 - 82 with just under 2:00 left, they couldn’t even get one more basket.

Absolutely unbelievable. Now, instead of having several days of extra rest for the Celtics, they’re looking at a 7-game series. (There’s no way they win Game 6.)

This team is so far away from championship-caliber it’s not even funny. Can’t even beat a bunch of thug misfits on your home floor. Absolutely embarrassing.

Don't judge this team by comments, LeBron made a statement: 'these guys are talkers' but unless you hear something from the captains, which would be myself and Antawn, don't label that as the team. I'm the voice of this team and Antawn is the spiritual and emotional leader so unless you hear it from one of us, keep it moving.

Any surprises left from the Wizards? Sure, why not one more.

Gilbert Arenas will not play in Game 5 of the team's first-round playoff series against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight, and said his injured left knee will not permit him to play again this season. "I'm done," he said.
