    Gilbert Arenas Had Knee Surgery (No, You Are Not Experiencing Deja Vu)


    Let's play a little game called "What would I do?" First, imagine that you're Washington Wizards owner Abe Pollin. Now assume that you had just given a six-year, $111 million contract — guaranteed money, by the way — to an athlete coming off of two knee surgeries only to find out that he now required a third knee surgery which would sideline him until (at least) December. Would you a) suffer an involuntary bowel and bladder release, b) get drunk and start breaking things, c) use a frisbee to commit seppuku, or d) all of the above (although not necessarily in that order)? If you chose a, b, or c, please reread the question and try again. More »

    Gilbert Arenas's $1 Million Pool Is Nicer Than Yours


    And by yours I mean the condo complex you sneak into every weekend because the girls are better looking than the apartment where you live. Meanwhile Agent Zero is constructing his own Xanadu replete with mountain and three acquariums. D.C. Sports Bog brings us the further details on the pool. Along with pictures! More »

    Flee To The Cleve Tonight, Everybody

    The playoffs tip back off tonight, and after a weekend that brought us an amazing Suns-Spurs game and that fun 76ers upset — which we have a feeling will be like a lower-grade version of that Sixers-Lakers Finals: One inspiring win followed by a sweep — we are treated to two doozies tonight.

    LeBron Overrated, Rated Over Gilbert Arenas

    So the verbal barbs were barbered between Gilbert Arenas and LeBron James to christen the Wizards-Cavaliers series, although the counterbarbs by Cleveland were done not in words, but in second-half points. So Cleveland begins with the series lead after with a 93-86 victory in Game 1 of the NBA playoffs first round. And as is the customary "braggin' rights" ritual, Gilbert Arenas awarded a celebratory big sandwich to the Cavaliers bench. More »

    Free Darko On Cleveland-Washington

    We're looking at every NBA Playoff series through the eyes of both Free Darko and Basket Bawful. Here's Free Darko's look at the Cleveland Cavaliers-Washington Wizards series. Your author is Bethlehem Shoals.

    Technically, this is the third year in a row that the Wizards and Cavs have met in the first round. In 2006, LeBron reminded us that he could do no wrong, even as he tackled the playoffs for the first time. But Gilbert Arenas refused to back down, matching James's iron-wrought majesty with fiery whim. Cleveland won in 6, and James marched on, but it was this series that put Arenas on the map. More »

    Welcome Back Everybody!

    The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who secretly wishes that the NBA regular season was even longer. When he's not formally requesting that David Stern institute a 300-game season, you can find him engaged in thrilling intellectual debates regarding fart jokes at Basketbawful. Enjoy!

    Agent Zero is back! Unfortunately, he must have left his swag at home. Hibachi scored 17 points on 5-for-9 shooting in his return, but the Wizards choked up a nine-point lead in the final 7:23 and lost 110-109 to the Bucks on a buzzer-beating jumper by...Ramon Sessions?! Yes, Ramon Sessions, whoever that it. (Oh...he's a rookie out of Nevada who's played in only nine games this season. Hope that clears things up.) Washington was leading by a point with 1.1 seconds left but failed to get a defensive stop when Royal Ivey inbounded the ball to Andrew Bogut who tossed it to Sessions who iced the game like an Eastern Conference assassin.
