Gilbert fall down go boom

I just saw on the Post website that Gilbert will be out 2-3 months recovering from surgery he'll undergo today to repair a lateral left meniscus tear in his knee (for all the tripdub medical professionals out there). I usually can't help being an optimist when it comes to the Wizards, but I think the team might as well start planning their May vacations now (and Etan can book his summer Poetry Slam tour dates). They'll still make it to the first round of finals unless they lose all eight remaining games (that can't happen, right?) but it has to be heartbreaking for Gilbert and Caron to both have all-star seasons and then get injuries this close to the finals. Oh well, at least they can sulk in their giant mansions and drive to CVS to pick up tissues to cry into in their Maybachs and Bentleys.
