Gilbert hearts Caron

Gilbert Arenas might be out, but he is uuber impressed by his teammate's recent performance. Yesterday, he updated his blog, praising Caron's Butler's performance in Tuesday night's big victory over the Boston Celtics:

Caron took the challenge, man. He took the challenge. He had that memory of Paul Pierce which was the fire and extra motivation he needed. You can see how he used it yesterday. I guess Paul Pierce was quoted in the paper last year after Caron made the All-Star game and he said, “Caron Butler should send me flowers for being injured so he could make the All-Star game, because if I was healthy, he wouldn’t be in there.”

Caron took that personal and … BOOM … a year later he got his revenge double time, back-to-back. You saw what he did at the end.

After the game, Gilbert hit Caron up on the two way, with a text:
Agent Zero to Tough Juice: "I've never seen you play like that"
Tough Juice to Agent Zero: "We're playing great basketball. When you come back we will be playing EXCELLENT basketball"

(Cue Elton John) --> Caaaaan you feeeeel, the loooove toniiiiiight?

Did you just get the warm and fuzzies? Because I did. Somebody go get me a puppy and some chamomile tea.
