Matchup Of the Night

VS.

Our matchup of the night spotlights one of the best defensive centers in the NBA and one of the best offensive centers in the NBA. Bogut has had his way with the Wizards defense the past few times we've played the Bucks, but in most cases, Brendan has done a good job on him (Bogut getting the majority of his points when Haywood is off the floor). If Brendan can keep Australian sensation off the boards, and in check in the post, then one of the Bucks most consistent and legitimate offensive threats is taken away.

Don't mess with the bull, JWiz. You'll get the horns.

a win would be real nice

gil playing would be real nice

but i think we're only going to get one of those tonight

i'll take the win

I heard on 980 that Gil didn't participate in shoot around. Could he be resting the knee for a surprise appearance tonight?

For some reason, the Bucks seem to give the Wiz problems. We always find a way to turn one of their undersized SGs (Ivey or Bell) into a "superstar for a day" and they absolutely kill us when they play Bogut and Gadzuric at the same time.

I'm going with the Wiz in a tight one. I'm also predicting that Arenas plays.

Gil won't play.

Bullets win anyway, as Caron Butler gets his revenge on the Bucks for his injury earlier this season.

Hey, Milwaukee, "Tuff Juice 2: Caron's Revenge" now playing in an arena near me!

Why is the Bucks logo so much bigger than ours.

Looks like I'll be making the Miami gamethread.

Love the blowup of my avi though. Didn't know I had become your idol. I'm flattered.

Scared of this. Seems like all of Caron's injuries have come against them Bucks.

The Bucks suck. They're counting the days until the season is over. The Wizards win easy, with our without Gil.

The Bucks won in overtime last night against New York. They figure to be tired and complacent when they play tonight.

This one has heartbreaker written all over it. Will be interesting to see how they respond after the beatdown on Monday.

Definitely not getting my hopes up.

Had to remove it.

Unfortunately, just like yourself, the head was too big.

the Bucks always play us hard......Mo Williams seems to go off a lot.

oh, and miller, I don't think that Andrew Bogut changed his name to Redd (that's a clue to edit your gamethread )

Gil's coming back tonight in vintage Agent Zero fashion. I can feel it, these three games are perfect for him to start to get into a groove.

Ivan:

Just got back from the locker room area where there was a flurry of activity. Word is that Gilbert Arenas may try to make his return tonight against the Bucks. Caron Butler and Antonio Daniels are back and will start. Stay tuned.

Man, if Arenas comes back, I'd rub my nipples in excitement, or watch Harry Potter 1-5. One of the two, or maybe both at the same time.

You're so disturbing.

Arenas in uniform

In classic Gilbert Arenas fashion, the three time all star will make his return to uniform tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks but, as his teammates warm up, he's still in the locker room waiting to make a grand entrance. The decision was entirely up to Arenas, who did not participate in shootaround this morning, and it came as news to Coach Eddie Jordan and his teammates.

I see Gil is dressed for the game tonight, wonder if he's going to get some playing time?

It would be hilarious if Eddie decided not to give him any PT tonight.

If he's dressed, I bet he's starting and I bet he plays 30 minutes.

He's been ready for a while now.
