Butler Likely to Start Tomorrow

butler_500_080312.jpg

All indications show that Caron Butler will likely start tomorrow against the Cleveland. He was able to go through a full practice again today, his third good practice in a row. I will have a story and some quotes coming up on Washingtonwizards.com probably in the next hour, also Gil returned to practice and coach Jordan said he looked good. A VERY VERY GOOD DAY TO SAY THE LEAST!!!

    Wow how to turn a ****** day into one of the best day of the month :D!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT news. Now ’bout Gil, soreness in the repaired knee?? I guess that’s normal but that would indicate that as I thought we might, I said we might, not get him back before that western trip…

    im just hoping gilbert gets healthy this season

  6. SportzWiz Says:

    I will give you a couple quotes when Gilbert came back for his first day of practice,

    “I will probably not be back until after Caron”
    “I will probably be back sooner rather than later”.

    Take it for what it’s worth.

    He went through full practice again today. But nobody expected this to be a quick thing. When Caron came back peopel thought if his body reacted well he could play very quickly, with Gil it was a much more cautious approach.

    What’s up with Thomas? He came back for one practice, then disappeared again.

    That’s a great picture above. All Star vs. All Star.

    Rejoice - it’s time to iron that Butler jersey of closet wrinkles and to rid of the mothball smell.

    (disclaimer - don’t iron any jersey, you’ll melt it)

    Well, I’ll be in Chicago from tomorrow through next tuesday morning. I think tomorrow night’s game might be on tnt, so I’ll try to get it. I *might* get into the blog, but can’t be sure.

  12. SportzWiz Says:

    Neal, Etan has been practicing everyday. There really just isn’t an update at all on him.

  13. Tom Mandel Says:

    I hope his sternum is holding up ok — and that he and Brendan are getting along!

    I am feeling much better now that Tough Juice has made strides to comeback but the
    reserves can do there part by continuing there maturation process to keep him well
    rested until the playoffs comes around. What the status on Antwaan Jamison how is his
    treatment going and whats the status on Stevensons knee and Antonio’s knee !The Reserves can do there part now to keep thwe ship rolling until the full complement
    gets back! The team is really banged up but they haven’t put on the white flag yet and I
    for one would be amazed if they ever will !

  15. neal Says:

    If Thomas is practicing every day I really don’t see why he can’t play. If he backs up Haywood then Blatche can play SF and Butler can play some SG and Stevenson can play till the first stop in action and then sit the rest of these games out till he gets better.

    I think we are gonna get our revenge from the Fri 22 nail biter
    Go Wizards!!!

    76ers got a 1 point win over the Pistons… thats not a good thing but With CB3 back we might hold this down and get in with the Magic or Cav’s… i think the Rap’s are going to lose to the GSW

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARON!!!

  20. Jean Chris Says:

    I’m so excited about Caron’s return and im looking forward to see him paying tonight..But, im a little worry about Gilbert Arenas,because i dont think that he still wants to play for the team,i also think that he is just waiting till the season ends to get out of his contract with the wizards and go to free agency….im just hoping im wrong ..Well,just want to wish good luck to the Wizards tonight,Lets go out there and kill those Cavalies and Lebron..!!!
