Good news for the Wizards, Arenas has been cleared to return to practice. But, he sure won't be back anytime soon.
Last time we play the Wizards was the beginning of this season as Arenas re-injured his surgically repaired knee and left the game; which we won pretty easily.
This Wizards team is hardly a challenge compared to last years offensive nightmare. Butler, Jamison, and Arenas combined for one of the (if not the) league's scariest one-two-three punch. Now, they are hardly a fight, and barely are clinging on to a playoff spot. Like Ben Q. Rock said, losing to this team is inexcusable. Thier defense is pretty terrible; the Wiz give up big nights to opposing teams regularly. This could mean another dominating performance by Dwight.
I forsee Dwight having a big game, not only for the previous reason, but because he had a past of being worked hard by Haywood. Dwight will probably want to show him that those days are over.
Since we are on a back-to-back night, we have to come out firing on both ends, unlike we did against the Raptors. This team still can score and ex-magician DeShawn Stevenson will likely get his.
The Wizards are still without Arenas and Butler, and my fantasy team hates those two. I dropped from first down to third where I'm currently sitting. I hate it. Well I'll just have to pull a Golden State and make a playoff run when those two Wizards return.
