Gilbert Arenas’ 14-point, nine-assist performance against the Spurs Thursday night showed what Arenas can bring to this team — energy, smart passing and the ability to score quickly and in bunches. And it was also the type of performance that made some wonder how long the Magic can keep him out of the starting lineup. When Stan Van Gundy was asked about Arenas potentially starting over Jameer Nelson, he responded, “Could it change? Sure.” Arenas, however, didn’t leave so much wiggle room. “I’m coming off the bench,” Arenas said. “Jameer’s starting and Jason… that’s the group. I’m coming off the bench and I do what I do. I don’t want to start. This team is too talented.” Arenas played 28 minutes on Thursday and really helped the Magic build a lead in the first half, scoring 12 points and dishing out five assists in the first two quarters. Nelson, meanwhile, battled foul trouble and a stomach ailment, finishing with just seven points. It’s not a controversy at this point, and Arenas wanted to make that clear. But there’s no question the Magic want him playing meaningful minutes — Stan Van Gundy said he wants Arenas playing 28 to 32 minutes per game — especially if he keeps playing like he did Thursday night. “He changed the game in the first half,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “ We were in the game and things were going back and forth. … Gilbert spread it. He hit two or three buckets in a row and he made a big difference.” Arenas mentioned he enjoys playing with the second unit and likes being a guy that brings energy off the bench.
