I have no more reason to live
I didn’t have the strength to write yesterday about the Wizards getting blown out by 20 in Charlotte on Tuesday. And if this wasn’t so important I might not be writing about last nights loss to the Bobcats AT HOME but, as surely you’ve read/heard by now, our injury woes have gone from bad (losing Butler) to worse:
Consecutive losses to the lottery-bound Charlotte Bobcats would have been painful enough for the slumping Washington Wizards, but the outcome of last night’s game at Verizon Center was reduced to secondary status the moment three-time all-star guard Gilbert Arenas fell to the court clutching his left knee late in the first quarter.
Arenas, who didn’t start the game as punishment for missing a pregame shoot-around, suffered a sprained left knee when Charlotte’s Gerald Wallace fell into the side of Arenas’s leg after making a sensational reverse layup.
Arenas limped off the court with some assistance, did not return and will undergo an MRI exam today. The team is expected to announce a timetable for his recovery based on the test results.
How many knee sprains can one team have in a season? Jamison, Blatche and now Arenas. Obviously losing two in a row to the lottery-bound Bobcats sucks but losing Arenas, perhaps for the rest of the regular season, is a killer. Luckily the Knicks are awful and we are only one game away from clinching a playoff spot but a Wizards team without Caron and with a hurting Arenas is even MORE unlikely to make it out of the first round.
What else is there to say really? A season that started with so much promise is now going down the tubes. Its quite depressing.
