About this episode
Gil's Arena Previews The First Round Of The NBA Playoffs as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew enter the arena for the final time before the start of the NBA Playoffs and break down all the action ahead. They open things up by reacting to the Dallas Mavericks take down of the Sacramento Kings in the NBA Play-In Game thanks to a vintage night from Klay Thompson & Anthony Davis and debate if this Mavs team has enough juice to go on a deep playoff run despite the turmoil they faced after the Luka Doncic trade. They also react to Kyrie Irving teasing an early return in January and give their final thoughts on Nico Harrison's secret press conference with the NBA Media. Next, they react to the Miami Heat's blowout of the Chicago Bull on the Eastern side of the play-in bracket and debate if the Heat's big win shows that they can overcome Trae Young & The Hawks for the final NBA Playoff spot. Then, Gil's Arena gets HOSTILE as Swaggy P & Brandon Jennings respond to Pat Bev calling them out for a game of 1 on 1 and get real on how they would handle the NBA Villain on the court. Finally, Gil's Arena celebrates Easter with an egg hunt around the arena and highlight the upcoming battles in the NBA Playoffs where Anthony Edwards wants all the smoke with LeBron James, Luka Doncic & The Los Angeles Lakers, Giannis Antetokounmpo & The Milwaukee Bucks can get their revenge on the Indiana Pacers and Nikola Jokic takes on James Harden & Kawhi Leonard in a highly anticipated series.
