Brandon Jennings vs. Gilbert Arenas
Lost in the free throw madness Monday was Brandon Jennings’ lone miss. It was his first miss in 29 attempts, unheard of for this Milwaukee Bucks team. When it comes to free throw shooting for this team, Jennings is like a rose growing out of cracked cement. Arenas may finally be coming back on, he’s scored over 30 points in three of his past four games, including 45 against Golden State. But we know about Golden State’s defense. Being in company with Gil is not as illustrious as it used to be, but it’s still pretty cool for Jennings. Of course, Jennings has upped his assists and tried involving teammates more since his fast start, but I’d expect both of these guards to get their shots in tonight.

Brandon Jennings vs. Gilbert Arenas
So is it all done then? The whole Gilbert Arenas is a fun, up-and-coming star who shoots when he wants, makes up crazy names for himself and makes the Wizards a relevant team, is it done? It sure looks like it. When I mosey on over to basketball-reference.com to check out a few things about other teams I usually have an idea of what I’m going to see. But I didn’t have a clue on what I’d see about Gil when I checked him out. Why didn’t I have a clue? Because I haven’t heard anything at all about Gil or the Wiz all year. They’ve been irrelevant, aside from an injury here or an injury there. I vaguely remember hearing that Arenas supposedly wants to be fun again. I thought I heard something about him needing one million followers on Twitter before his first tweet. But no longer are his on-court exploits worth much. That’s what knee surgery after knee surgery will do to you. He’s 28, a touch younger than the Bucks own former star robbed of mobility by injuries Michael Redd. To think either of them will be relevant as stars in the league again seems like a stretch.
