Arenas Admits Punishment Was a Must

Suspended Wizards G Gilbert Arenas told Esquire magazine that he wasn’t using “longevity thinking” when taking out four guns in his ‘prank’ with teammate Javaris Crittenton in December. Ya think? He also wanted to apologize to Abe Pollin, who died in November:

Every night in the NBA is completely unpredictable. Anything can happen at any time, and no one can prophesize each coming day. So this is a what to watch for, but don’t be constrained by these games, watch them all! Here is a preview though of the games I am looking forward to the most!
