Last night, as I was watching the Wizards getting killed by the Cavaliers, I spent some time watching Gilbert Arenas -- yet another star beset by injuries -- lumbering around the court. "Gilbert Arenas," I wrote in my notes, "has been sent here to make everyone else look athletic." Later, during the next ... [link]

In defense of young legs
Published 4/23/2008 by Matt Watson at Detroit Bad Boys
I realize this horse I’m beating has long since moved to the great pasture in the sky, but here’s another take from Henry Abbott of TrueHoop: Studies have shown that, in general, if you want to win now, you play veterans. They know the game best, they play the right way, they have the respect of the referees, and by and large they commit fewer errors. What’s more, they are brand names, institutions you can trust.

MrThell posted 4/23/2008 from www.emptythebench.com

Their seasons will end in a few days and they will have made approximately $31 million on the season between them ($11,946,667 for Arenas and $19,014,187 for McGrady).
