Gil's Arena Debates Los Angeles Lakers vs Houston Rockets For #1 In The NBA's Western Conference as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to HUGE games in the NBA Playoff race as Luka Doncic, LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers BLEW OUT the NBA Leading OKC Thunder and the Houston Rockets put Chef Curry in a blender to take down the Golden State Warriors. They break down what this wins mean for both squads heading into the NBA's stretch run and take a look at the insane race developing in the west as 5 teams are tied for the conference's lower seeds. Next, they react to another out of this world stat line from Nikola Jokic who dropped another 40 point triple double in the Nuggets' 5th straight loss, sparking a debate on if Nugget's struggles have overshadowed Jokic's dominant season and forced the team into some difficult changes this offseason. Finally, they react to Ja Morant getting fined 75k for his finger gun celebration and debate if this was an unfair punishment for the Memphis Grizzlies' superstar and break down an incredible weekend in March Madness where Paige Bueckers established herself as a future legend with UConn's national championship & Cooper Flagg faced adversity for the first time in his career after Duke choked away a trip to the finals.
