Dime Magazine interviewed Gilbert Arenas about his predictions for the Eastern Conference teams this season as well as who he thinks some of the surprise players and MVP candidates will be.  D.C. Sports Bog also managed to get a little talking time with him and asked, among other things, how he feels about Wednesday’s opener:

“I’m trying not to be excited too much. We went out and had an excellent practice today. We’re jelling as a group, especially offensively. And defensively. And we’re just ready to show what we have Wednesday night. We have to be determined in practice and attack each other if we want to do that on the floor.”
