I wanted to post this to make all the betters out there aware that Gilbert is throwing a lavish birthday party after the game tommorow night. I think this will effect his performance as he will have alot on his mind. He threw down 1 million dollars for this thing and is having friends, family, and celebrities fly in from around the country for this thing.
I will be in attendance tommorow night, I will let you all know how it is!

Nothing but a Black-Tie Gig for Arenas's 25th Birthday Will Do
By Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts
Thursday, January 4, 2007; Page C03
For every young VIP, there's that milestone birthday: Prince William turns 21, the Olsen twins turn 18 . . . For Gilbert Arenas, it's the big two-five.
The Wizards star will celebrate his first quarter-century tomorrow with a lavish, invitation-only party at Love nightclub, with performances by -- well, basically, a pantheon of today's hip-hop giants: The Game, T.I., Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes.

"Gilbert did nothing for his 23rd and 24th birthdays," said a rep. "Just wasn't his style." So what's up now? "This is as much a coming-out party for Gilbert as anything. He's solidified his place as an NBA superstar this year."
Will Arenas (who actually turns 25 on Saturday) take the stage? "Noooooo," he told Steinberg. "I'm shy when it comes to stuff like that. That's why Puffy's there."
