Wizards' Saunders calls Arenas sentence 'closure'  — At the same
time suspended Washington guard Gilbert Arenas was sentenced to
30 days in a halfway house for a felony gun conviction on
Friday, Wizards trainer Eric Waters was in the hospital awaiting
surgery to remove his appendix.  "We always have something going
on with our team," coach Flip Saunders said Friday before
Charlotte beat Washington 107-96 for the Wizards' team-record
14th straight loss. "It's just one thing after another."
Saunders and Wizards players reacted with relief and some dark
humor after finding out about three hours before facing the
Bobcats that Arenas won't be going to prison for bringing
unloaded guns in the locker room in December. Arenas began
serving his season-long suspension on Jan. 6.  "It's good for
him, especially with the reports and what people were saying
(about jail time)," guard Mike Miller said. "It's good for him
to move on now, good for the league to move on, and I think
he'll make the most of the opportunity."  A
