It’s pretty deep stuff that I can’t really get into because I’ve got to run in a few, but as always it’s worth the read.

DC Sports Bog has gathered up a bunch of quote from Gilbert on DeShawn Stevenson, his suit collection, and what it’s like sitting on the bench, among other things.

Here’s my favorite dialouge from the piece:

On whether he enjoyed watching DeShawn unleash his personality: “Yes. Especially for somebody, we’ve been knowing each other since we were in high school, to finally get the identity where people know him as his own self. That’s what I told him when he first started doing this [Can't feel my face hand wave], and then his agent told him ‘Don’t do that, that’s a gang sign.’ I’m like, ‘five fingers across the face? What the hell kind of gang sign is that?’ And I was like, ‘You’ve found something that people are actually taken [with], you’ve got fans doing this, you’ve got little kids. Antawn’s daughter used to do it. She used to come, ‘daddy look.’ [Waving hand.] So I was like, that’s your snitch now, you’ve got to do it.”

Snitch? “Stitch.”

Niche? “Stick.”

Schtick? “Yeah.”

As you can tell, Gilbert has a lot of snitches in his personality.

Gilbert just came out with a new blog as the team gets ready for a pivotal Game 5 in Cleveland.  Unlike most of his blogs, it’s short, simple and to the point, which is expected since he’s got to stay focused for the game on Wednesday.

Here’s a passage from his latest:

If we’re going to pull out this series, we’re going to need a miracle. We’re going to have to dig. We’re going to have to play big. Everyone is going to have to bring their A games. We can’t have no let downs now.

It’s one of those things where we’re going into the lion’s den. That arena is going to be ready for us. They’re going to bring out the boo birds and call us every name you can possibly think of. They’re going to boo us from tip-off until the end of the game.

For us to silence that crowd, we’re going to have to get out to a quick start and try to get up big to get the fans out of it a little.

When Gilbert said in his last blog that he wouldn’t be “blogging for a bit” he obviously meant 4 days because just tonight he put up a new entry about the Wizards first round nemesis, the Cavaliers:

Now that we’re playing those guys again, I think everybody is going to have their eyes on it. Especially since the media is hyping it up.

“Did you see what Gilbert said in his blog????”

I put that in my blog a week ago. I said we wanted to play Cleveland so we needed to win some games. Then the four and the five seeds were locked in yesterday and it was set for us to play the Cavs and everybody was like, “Oh, Washington is playing Cleveland, Gilbert must have just blogged!”

NOW I’m blogging. This is the updated blog.

After some talk about the Wizards young guns and his Halo team, Gilbert explained why he’ll be sticking to the team-colored Gil II Zeros for the rest of the season:

I got the big call from Stu. Once Stu gives you the call, you got to listen. At first I thought, “OK, they’ll fine me and I can just bill adidas.” But then Stu hit me with the word that I didn’t want to hear: suspension. I thought about playing a little reverse psychology on him. I was going to wear a new non-team colors GilIIZeros shoe after the phone call in my next game. Then he was going to call me back and be like, “You’re going to be suspended for the next game” when the thing is that I was going to sit out the next game anyway. You see? You feel me? But, I would end up getting fined too. And I didn’t want to get the fine and the suspension. He just told me to wear the team color shoes from now on. I wore the chrome and silver ones, the Undrcrwn version, so I hit him with, “Come on, Stu … chrome is the new white!” But I don’t think he was falling for that.

There’s a lot of other great stuff in the blog that you just have to read.  I’d quote some more of it, but I don’t want to take away from the stuff that I don’t quote.  It’s that good.

The vow of silence is over! Kind of. Gilbert explains in his latest blog:

When people are asking me, “How does it feel to be back?” I don’t consider myself back. It’s jinxy. That’s why I don’t talk to the media right now. They’re going to ask the same questions, “How does the knee feel? … How does it feel coming off the bench? … Are you opting out?”

You know what, there’s only so many times you can answer those same questions. I mean, can’t they just use the same quotes I said last week? There’s only so many times you can answer the same questions so I just said, “Forget it.”

I retired from talking to the media for this year. I’m going to wait until next season.

After this, I’m not blogging for a little bit either. Right now, it’s not all about me. It’s about keeping focus on the team. We’re in the middle of a playoff positioning fight. I’m trying to do anything I can to help us achieve our team goals. If that means coming off the bench, then that means coming off the bench.

After ripping on Tom Knott and Latrell Sprewell for a little bit, he rips on the people that mocked his prediction that he would beat Boston:

I remember when I made the prediction at the beginning of the year that we would beat Boston, everybody laughed at me after we lost. They had their little shorts giggles. I’m glad you guys giggled, because I’m going to be giggling the whole summer now.

I think we’re the only team in the league to beat them three times this season. So, giggle giggle giggle back. You all were so quick to kill me, but five months later I got the last laugh.

Three out of four.

HA!

He also talks a little about the birthday parties that teammates Caron Butler and DeShawn Stevenson threw and about Jerryd Bayless opting for the NBA Draft. Sadly, it looks like it will be his last blog for a little while (he probably won’t blog again until the Wiz are knocked out of the playoffs), but I have to say I’m kind of liking this new, angrier Gil that we’ve seen since his comeback.

On an unrelated note, check out the DC Sports Bog. Dan Steinberg managed to get some quotes from Todd Gallagher’s new book Andy Roddick Beat Me With A Frying Pan which features of lot of Gilbertisms.
