About this episode
LeBron & The Lakers' ELIMINATION Blows Up Gil's Arena as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the end of the Los Angeles Lakers season where LeBron James & Luka Doncic got bounced from the NBA Playoffs after just 5 games and proved they were no match for Anthony Edwards & The Minnesota Timberwolves. They break down how Ant-Man became an NBA Legend in front of our eyes by packing up the GOAT's Lakers squad and discuss how notorious NBA Villain Rudy Gobert proved to be the x-factor in taking down Luka & The Lakers. They also provide a post mortem on the Lakers' Season by discussing what this team could have done differently to add a Big Man to the roster and predict the future for Luka Doncic & LeBron James, before grading JJ Redick's first season as an NBA Head Coach as the former sharpshooter struggled in his first NBA Playoff appearance. With tears in their eyes they move on to recap Game 5 of the Houston Rockets vs Golden State Warriors series, where the Rockets took a hostile approach to slowing down Steph Curry to get themselves back in the series. The Gil's Arena Crew debates if Houston's approach is dirty or simply playoff basketball and discuss if they can keep up this intensity to force a Game 7. Finally, they break down Adam Silver's recent comments on the coverage of NBA Basketball including a tease that Gil's idea for a USA vs The World All Star game may be coming in the future and react to Stephon Castle taking home the NBA Rookie of the Year award, giving Victor Wembanyama & the San Antonio Spurs one of the best young cores in the NBA.
