Hooped Up

Two days before what Gilbert Arenas has proclaimed will be his next 50-point game, no one wanted to say much about it.”I’m not going to comment on that,” Washington Wizards coach Eddie Jordan said.

Arenas had posted an entry on his nba.com blog under the heading “Time to Get my 50 Points vs. Portland.”

He vowed to score 50 against the Trail Blazers on Sunday as payback for anyone who might have had anything to do with his not making the U.S. national team for the world championships last summer. Portland coach Nate McMillan was an assistant on the team.
