Gilbert Arenas was not a math major

After bragging about how he was going to drop 50 on the Blazers, he instead posted this beauty.

I wouldn't take this clown on my team if he paid me. Where are all of you who wanted him over Iverson for the WC team?

awesome, his head has gotten ten times bigger this year but i still think his game is inconsistent as ...flashes of offensive greatness sprinkled throughout *ok* games

Obviously, it was the coach's fault.

"We have a new philosphy now and that is focusing on defense," said Arenas, who spent most of the game guarding Jack, who shot 5-for-8 from the field with five assists. "Right now we are still adjusting to that. At the end of the day, they scored a lot of easy baskets on us."

"When you tell a team: 'Hey, we don't have Antawn anymore. We can't outscore people. You've proven that we can't outscore people anymore. We have to go out there and stop people,' for a scoring team, it kind of takes that air out of you," Arenas said of what the Wizards have been hearing lately from coach Eddie Jordan. "We're who we are. We're a high-scoring team. We're a running team. That's what we do. We're a high-scoring caliber team."

"That's just plain stupid," Jordan said of Arenas' comments about playing defense. "The whole idea of us having to have to play defense better, is that a problem or is that a question? That's ludicrous.

that was hilarious. That team is falling apart...twice with Etan Thomas starting and now the coach calling Arenas' comment stupid.

I like Arenas. I know he has games like this from time to time. He is refreshing player at least he is not the prepackaged leaque created superstar like Wade. He will get better with experience and when the Wiz put a better team around him.

What does one game prove? Arenas is still a fantastic player.

[RonMexico]

Why didn't he put up that stinker against the Suns in December instead of banking in shots from everywhere? I was actually looking forward to this game until it bored the out of me.

[tlongII]

Do not mess with the Portland Trail Blazers.

It proves that Arenas is a my-stats-first player who is continually looking to blame others (coaches) for his failures instead of looking in the mirror first.

His stats are helping his team win games. He is obviously there best player, and they are still an excellent offensive team because of him. Just because he has spotty shot selection at times, doesn't mean he isn't an extremely effective player.

i agree that he is fun to watch but he has quite the mouth on him...although, i know if i was a wizards fan, i'd love every word, haha!

Thats what I like about him besides his call that he is not so politically correct.

Every player has a bad game at one point or another

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall in that locker room when Jordan and Arenas went at it over his comments.

[atxrocker]

uh... ok. 1 bad game deserves it's own thread. laaaaame.
