Game Notes: New Jersey vs. Washington

Coming into this game, the Wizards were without Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison, which meant that someone had to step up tonight besides Gilbert Arenas, and tonight that person was Andray Blatche. In just 26 minutes of play, Blatche had 30 points, and he shot a blistering 83% (15-18 from the field).

Washington Wizards Season Preview

Last year I picked the Wizards to go 41-41, and injuries and a coaching change pretty much derailed me from the start. This year, despite the Jamison setback, I think the Wizards will return to their 2005-2008 “heyday” and come out with a 43-39 record, which will be good enough to make the playoffs and play the Cavs once again.

Game Notes: Dallas vs. Washington

After the first preseason game that saw Gilbert Arenas score only five points and dish out ten assists, Flip Saunders mentioned that he wanted him to be a bit more aggressive on the offensive end of the floor. In nearly 10 minutes of play in the first half of tonight’s game, Arenas still did not look to shoot at all, but he did dish out four assists. At one point in the first quarter, he drove the ball two feet from the basket, stopped and turned around in the lane, then kicked it back out to the perimeter. It was a completely different story in the third quarter. Arenas was much more aggressive, as he shot 6-for-6 and scored 12 points to go along with four assists. Unfortunately, he also had four turnovers, and on many occasions he neglected open teammates.

In The Scrum With Nick Young
