Gils Arena Reacts To The NBA Playoffs' Game 7 BLOWOUTS as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew return to Gil's Arena to break down the end of Round 1 of the NBA Playoffs and analyze the blowouts that saw both the Golden State Warriors & Denver Nuggets advance to the next round. They kick things off in the bay as they react to another NBA Playoff win for the Golden State Warriors over the Houston Rockets, where Buddy Hield had his first signature moment for the Warriors as he carried Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler in their decisive Game 7 Win. The Gil's Arena Crew analyzes Buddy's impact as the x-factor in this series and gives their biggest takeaways from Steph & Jimmy's first playoff series as teammates. They also give a post-mortem on the Houston Rockets' season and debate how this young promising team can take the next step towards a championship, even if that means giving up high impact pieces like Jalen Green & Alpren Sengun. Next, they turn their attention to the other Game 7 blowout where Russell Westbrook got his revenge on the Los Angeles Clippers and the Nuggets proved they may be the most dangerous team in the playoffs after winning the series with Nikola Jokic struggling to find his game. They also analyze James Harden's Game 7 struggles throughout his career and debate if his not-so-clutch gene will impact his NBA legacy and if the Clippers can feel confident with their core of Harden & Kawhi moving forward. Next they react to Jalen Brunson proving he's the King of New York once again after lifting the New York Knicks to the 2nd Round and debate if the Knicks guard can carry this team over the reigning champion Boston Celtics before reacting to the opening game of Round 2 where the Indiana Pacers stunned the Cleveland Cavaliers with a Game 1 win. Finally, they give Gregg Popovich his flowers after the legendary head coach announced his retirement this season and discuss his incredible impact on the game of basketball.
