Sixth Man of the Year: Paul Millsap, Coming off the bench Millsap is a rebounding machine and a workhorse in the paint.Comeback Player of the Year: Gilbert Arenas, Agent zero shall return the Wizards to the NBA Playoffs and shall garner the comeback award. Coach of the Year: Flip Saunders, When the Wizards make the playoffs again Flip will get a lot of credit and will win the coach of the year award over those whose team were expected to be good.Rookie of the Year: Tyreke Evans, with Griffin out 6 weeks this seems like the logical choice.Defensive Player of the Year: Mickael Pietrus, Picking Dwight Howard just seems boring, so let's go with his teammate, lock down but french defender, Mickael Pitrus. Most Improved Player of the Year: Greg Oden, here's hoping the big man can stay healthy for the entire year and develop some type of offensive game. Most Valuable Player: Lebron James, Picking anyone other than Kobe, D-Wade or Lebron is straight up stupid. And we're not s...

Arenas scores 29 in victory
Gilbert Arenas had 29 points and nine assists, helping stake the Washington Wizards to an early lead over the revamped Dallas Mavericks and keeping them ahead throughout the final three quarters on their way to a 102-91 victory Tuesday night.
For Wizards' Arenas, this is the threequel
Gilbert Arenas Part I was the tale of an unlikely hero: a second-round pick turned three-time All-Star. But the installment ended both abruptly and disastrously with the star lying on the basketball court, his left knee blown out and in need of surgery. Arenas Part II was supposed to be the triumphant return but, as do most sequels, proved disappointing. The guard endured two more...

Welcome Back, Gil
by Marcel Mutoni / @marcel_mutoni
All told, there weren’t too many surprises last night: The Lakers beat their next-door neighbors with relative ease, Shaq and the LeBronnaires struggled to find their groove against Boston’s cagey vets, and Houston was awful as expected.
In Washington, though, the story was slightly different. Gilbert Arenas loudly announced his return...
Guest Post: Staring Down a Champion
Beneath all the humor, the blog and the video games; beneath the countless nicknames, the jokes and quotes; lay a slumbering assassin, an assassin who seems to have finally awoken to his alarm blaring after two seasons devoid of basketball.
Everyone is piling on Gilbert Arenas for his newfound silence with the press, and, to an extent, rightly so. He is a professional basketball...
Tom Knott: Powerful opening statement for Wizards
That was Gilbert Arenas slicing through the defense of the Mavericks, hitting jumpers, finding teammates, picking his spots. That was the Wizards exercising their newfound familiarity with the defensive end of the floor. No one anticipated Wizards 102, Mavericks 91 in the season opener. No one anticipated the Wizards dispatching a highly competent team on the road, a team that wins...
Wizards 102, Mavericks 91
After a game like that, it's really hard to pinpoint who was most responsible in leading the Wizards to victory in the first game of the Flip Saunders era. It's easy to credit at Gilbert Arenas, who had 29 points and 9 assists in his first season opener in two years. Or Andray Blatche, who had 20 points, seven rebounds and two blocked shots. But it would be difficult to ignore...
Oops, Pau Surprise
Is it just us, or has this been — from an injury standpoint — the most destructive NBA preseason in a while? Last year Deron Williams started out on the shelf, and of course Gilbert Arenas and Monta Ellis had their issues, but we don’t remember too many other notables beginning the regular season logging [...]
Oberto, Foye add balance to Wizards
DALLAS | As coach Flip Saunders said Tuesday night, Gilbert Arenas "did his talking on the court." Arenas, who was reluctant to speak to the media in the preseason, fielded questions from reporters after the game but was not interested in talking about himself. When asked about his performance - 29 points and nine assists in the Washington Wizards' 102-91 season-opening...
