11 total assist
5 came from CB
I guess he found the players that could shoot.
Dude, get off the bogus hate of GA. I don't hate GA. We just need him to pass because he is the most talent player on the team when it comes to seeing the court.

The Wizards have had the most efficient offense in the East without Gil being a pass first PG.
Whatever. Think what you want.
He is a very talented passer when he wants to be.
As for him being a scorer. 19 min 2-8 10 pts.
He was neither as passer or a scorer tonight.
But that means little regarding what his talent it. He can pass and score as much as he wants. He has the talent to do both. Wow, I guess I really hate GA. What an insult.

I don't really get why you want to change Gilbert, or make him want to focus on something more than another thing. Gilbert0Arenas summed up the whole reason nothing really needs to be significantly changed -- we're the most efficient team in the East, and the 3rd most efficient team in the NBA on offense with a healthy Gilbert Arenas.
If you want to find something to complain about with respect to Gilbert, let it be his defense and shot-selection.

Serious ass kicking tonight. I know tomorrow is big and as we found out tonight, we don't want to end up in seventh. When Detroit is focused, they can be the top team in the league. We are just too banged up right now to hang with them, but no sure we can win tomorrow. I'd really consider resting Caron, I don't care how important this game is.

Dude has one bad game, and you're ripping him apart. Think what I want? I'm saying what Gil has been doing since his career at Arizona. Hes a scorer, who looks to score and can drop in 5-8 assists a game but won't be a pass first PG.
Your dream of him being a pass first PG will never come to existence. It's just one of the many outrageous ideas you have regarding this team.

The most impressive thing about DET is that I honestly don't think they give a rats ass who is the high scorer. It could be any player on the team including the mascot. And a player like Prince was hardly looking for his shot.
Everyone is totally focused on D.
They was simply impressive team ball by them tonight. Very impressive.

I didn't rip anyone apart. Stop making stuff up.

One more thing, about tonight's game, I don't think it proves much.
We had a ridiculously cold shooting stretch in the 3rd quarter. We shot 3-24 until Nick Young hit that 3 to end the quarter. Not only does that kind of poor shooting kill an offense, it hurts the D because Detroit transitions so well.
3-24 is incomprehensibly bad shooting and uncharacteristic of our offense. If we merely shot a moderately poor 9-24 instead of an abysmal 3-24, we'd have had about 13 more points and probably shaved about 4 points off of Detroit's offensive total. That's a 17-point swing.

Get a grip? That isnt a ripping. Those were the stats.
And GA, EJ and others have commented on GA coming in as a play maker.
So I posted the stats. How is that ripping? Get a grip.

18 minutes 1 assist.
Those aren't just stats. I believe thats unnecessary criticism to the best player this franchise has had in a decade. Please be consistent with your argument.
