Ask Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas if he has tonight's date circled on his calendar and he reflexively spouts the normal athlete cliches about how no one game means any more than another. But then a sly grin slowly crosses his face, and you realize that Arenas, in his first game against the Golden State Warriors since leaving the Bay Area in August for a six-year, $65 million free-agent contract with the Wizards, is going to be a little stoked to meet the Warriors.

"I'm not really worried about that [playing Golden State]," said Arenas. "You're not always going to play with one team forever. It's an important game for us just to win, because we've only won eight. The little jitterbugs are going to be flowing through you, but you can't take it personal."
