In Their Own Words: The award for most ineffectual exchange goes to Ilgauskas and Tarek Ali of the Arabic-language Alhurra TV. Shortly after Ilgauskas finished changing his socks -- the kind of sight that can cause nightmares for weeks -- Ali scored an exclusive interview with Big Z.
"What can you do to get two victories?" Ali asked, we think.
"Win two more games," Big Z answered, we think.
"Simple answer," Ali later said.
Chips a Joy: Gilbert Arenas isn't the only Wizard with a locker room poker habit. Calvin Booth, a key cog of the team's Largely Inconsequential But Unfailingly Polite Six, has been known to play Omaha Hold 'Em on his laptop before games. (In Omaha, players have four cards on the table but can only use two, sort of like the Wizards' strategy of putting five guys on the floor but using only three.)
The soft-spoken Booth counts the soft-spoken Phil Ivey among his poker heroes, which makes sense. He also admires poker badboy Phil Hellmuth, which doesn't. With visions of more simmering feuds dancing in our heads, we asked Booth what would happen if he had a few moments on the green felt with Ivey and Hellmuth.
"Those guys would take money from me," Booth said.
