The tension was palpable at Wizards practice today, though not on the practice court, where Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton were partners for shootaround. But in the hallway outside, one out-of-town reporter later got chided for nearly following Arenas into the locker room as Arenas hurried inside, and Crittenton eventually ducked out of the practice gym via another exit for the second straight day to avoid talking to the media. Mike James, who came to Arenas’s defense in a series of posts on his Twitter account (@mikejames7), also took a stern tone.
[I should also mention that Pamela McGee (@pamelamcgee34) has also gone to Twitter on behalf of JaVale McGee (@bigdaddywookie), but it is unclear whether it’s a trade request or simply a plea for more playing time for the second-year center.)
