Gil's Arena Reacts To Shai Gilgeous Alexander's HOSTILE Takeover In Boston as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the NBA MVP Favorite leading the Oklahoma City Thunder over the Boston Celtics on the road and leaving the reigning champs with a bad taste in their mouths as he took over the city with a genius marketing plan. Gil's Arena breaks down what this game means for both teams at the top of the NBA and give props to Shai & Converse for taking advantage of the MVP race with a viral statement. They then react to Mikal Bridges' stunning buzzer beater to carry the New York Knicks over the Portland Trailblazers and get real on how Mikal's disagreement with Coach Thibs over his minutes philosophy will influence the Knicks heading into the NBA Playoffs. Finally, they preview a very tough stretch coming up for the Los Angeles Lakers who play 6 games in 8 days and discuss how Luka Doncic will lead this team through this critical point in the season without LeBron James.
