About this episode
Nikola Jokic & The Nuggets Are On The BRINK Of Elimination as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to a thrilling game 5 between the Denver Nuggets & OKC Thunder where Shai Gilgeous Alexander came through in the clutch and carried the Thunder to a pivotal win in the NBA Playoff Series. They debate which NBA MVP candidate has looked the most like the best player in the world in this series and break down what the Nuggets need to do to help Jokic before reacting to the reports of a hostile locker room exchange between Aaron Gordon & Russell Westbrook. Next, they react to Tyrese Haliburton & The Indiana Pacers advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals for the 2nd year in a row after a dominant performance over the Cleveland Cavaliers and debate if this team should be considered as a real threat to win the NBA Championship. They also break down the future for the Cleveland Cavaliers who came up way short after their best season in franchise history and revisit the classic Gil's Arena debate of if Donovan Mitchell should be considered a #1 option on a championship team. Finally, the Gil's Arena Crew breaks down the current state of the Golden State Warriors who also sit on the brink of elimination without their superstar Steph Curry and react to the return of Paul George to the podcast game following the announcement of a Podcast P reboot.
