About this episode
Gil's Arena Breaks Down Games 1 & 2 Of The NBA Finals as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew return to the Arena & recap an exciting weekend of NBA Finals action. They kick things off by celebrating Tyrese Haliburton's insane buzzer beater in Game 1 that sparked a viral moment with Gil switching teams mid-shot and debate if the Indiana Pacers deserved to win that game after the Thunder choked away a late game lead. They follow up that discussion with a break down of Game 2 where Shai Gilgeous Alexander, Alex Caruso & The Thunder dominated and showed the NBA world this is the team they should expect throughout the rest of the Finals. The Gil's Arena Crew also gives their biggest takeaways on the series so far and discuss what the Pacers need to do to stay in this series as Pascal Siakam should look to take over. Finally, they give their reaction to the NBA's blunder with leaving the Larry O'Brien off the court in this NBA Finals and debate if the league needs to do more to market their championship. Next, they move away from the NBA Finals to examine action going on across the league like Victor Wembanyama using an unconventional training method this summer by studying with Shaolin Monks to focus on his mind and body. Finally, they react to LeBron James' comments over his lack of bag on the Mind The Game Podcast and give their thoughts on a turbulent season ahead for the Phoenix Suns as they hired Jordan Ott as their next head coach.
