In The Scrum With Chris Paul

Shortly after the New Orleans Hornets 115-110 victory over the Washington Wizards, guard Chris Paul met with the media to discuss a variety of issues. He discussed how and why the Hornets were able to play so well against the Wizards, the importance of Peja Stojakovic, the upcoming game against the Philadelphia 76ers, and his new attitude for the new year.

Game Notes: Orlando vs. Washington

When I arrived at the Verizon Center for tonight’s game, I realized that any and all traces of Gilbert Arenas had been completely expunged. His pictures weren’t outside the arena, his jerseys weren’t in the store, his image was removed from the pregame videos and clips, and even the few signs that fans tried to hold up with his name on it were quickly whisked away

The Elephant In The Room

This afternoon it became crystal clear this situation involving Gilbert Arenas was no longer just a story with a bunch of rumors attached to it. This was a legitimate story that was going to have some serious ramifications on and off the court for Arenas and the Washington Wizards.

Hoops Addict Podcast

In the fifth edition of the Hoops Addict podcast, Rashad and Ryan discuss the defensive efforts of the Raptors and the Wizards, our favorite players and the best teams of the past decade, and the teams to watch in the upcoming one.

Catching Up With Richard Jefferson

Prior to the Spurs 97-86 victory over the Washington Wizards, I had a brief chat with Spurs forward Richard Jefferson. We discussed the concept of defense, how his adjustment with the Spurs is going, and his recent dealings with Gilbert Arenas.

Game Notes: San Antonio vs. Washington

I know that the hot topic of the day is Gilbert Arenas, and I cannot lie and say that I am not also curious as to how this will all play out. But I am not in the business of writing speculative articles on things that I cannot verify directly. That being said, I was not one of the 50 or so reporters who descended upon Arenas’ locker after the game. I did hear Arenas say that he and Javaris Crittenton were friends before this incident, and will continue to be friends afterwards.

Washington’s Defense Still An Issue

When you cover a team like I do the Wizards, and you hear a coach rip his team the way Saunders did, you absolutely cannot wait to get to the locker room to hear what the players have to say in response. But much to my surprise, when I went to the locker room, none of the players seemed to disagree with the coach’s observations about their defensive effort.

A Bold Move By Saunders

It’s not unusual to see Flip Saunders call for a substitution off the bench only to change his mind and send that player back to bench. So when Saunders called for Blatche, Young, Boykins, Oberto, and McGuire to check into the game I assumed this may be one of those instances.

It wasn’t.

My Interview With Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

I’ve interviewed Jermaine O’Neal, Jalen Rose, Grant Hill, Patrick Ewing, and even participated in a conference call with Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. Surely I shouldn’t harbor nervousness for an interview with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, right?
