Not Saved By Zero

Gilbert Arenas, g-d bless him, is back. 15 points. 10 assists. And damn near got Washington a win over Detroit, the Wizards falling short 98 – 96. In fact, Arenas had a shot to tie or win the game. Course, the kind of time away that Arenas has been through this year is bound to leave a player, even of Arenas’ skills, rusty. And I would point to the fact that Kwame Brown, of all people, blocked Arenas’ shot at the end as proof of that.
Ouch.
Still, for Grizzlies fans, this is a big deal. Yes, Grizzlies fans. The four of us. And Clippers fan. Their six. Them too. We all like the cut of Arenas’ and Washington’s gib in getting him back for the last few weeks of the season. In the, um, “race” for best odds at Blake Griffin (and right to be most aggrieved when Phoenix “magically” gets the winning ball), it currently shows:
Sacramento 15 – 56
Washington 17 – 57
LA Clippers 18 – 56
Memphis 18 – 54
Minnesota 20 – 53
Oklahoma City 20 – 52
So, yeah, welcome back, Agent Zero. May you find your shot as fast as is possible. That would be swell. A little chatter about the return of Arenas in the Swamp courtesy of front page contributor and all-time Swamper DSafe.
