About this episode
Kevin Durant & The Phoenix Suns NEED To Start Over according to Gilbert Arenas as Gil & The Gil's Arena Crew react to The Phoenix Suns firing head coach Mike Budenholzer after their disaster of a season and discuss where Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal and the rest of the Suns go from here after their superteam crumpled right beneath their feet. Next, they preview the opening night of the NBA Play-In where the Orlando Magic take on the Atlanta Hawks with a trip to the postseason on the line and The Golden State Warriors play the Memphis Grizzlies in an explosive matchup. They debate who they expect to win these high stakes game and get real on the grenade celebration from Ja Morant that is sweeping the nation and shows just how much influence the Grizzlies superstar has. Then, they react to the NBA Jersey sales numbers from this season where Luka Doncic took the top spot following his trade to the Los Angeles Lakers, sparking a debate on if this proves that the Slovenian superstar is the next face of the NBA or if someone lurking lower on the list like Jayson Tatum & Victor Wembanyama will unseat Luka for the top spot. Finally, with the NBA Playoffs right around the corner Gil's Arena examines the OKC Thunder as the top team in the West and debate if Shai Gilgeous Alexander and his Thunder squad have shown enough to be considered a true threat to make the NBA Finals.
