Playoff Jimmy Butler's Return Is BAD News For The NBA
Playoff Jimmy Butler's Return Is BAD News For The NBA Playoffs according to Gilbert Arenas as Gil & The Gil's Arena Crew react to Jimmy Butler's DOMINANT performance for the Golden State Warriors as they took down the Memphis Grizzlies to advance to the NBA Playoffs and break down how Playoff Jimmy Butler's arrival mixed with the dominance of Steph Curry & Draymond Green sets the Golden State Warriors up for an upset in their first round matchup against the Houston Rockets. They also react to the play-in game in the East where the Atlanta Hawks fell to the Orlando Magic after Trae Young got ejected, forcing the Gil's Arena Crew to ponder if this Magic team has what it takes to overcome the NBA Champion Boston Celtics. Next, they react to reports of Nico Harrison staging a private meeting with the media to discuss the coverage of his all time blunder in the Luka Doncic trade and debate if the Dallas Mavericks GM just needs to own his mistakes at this point. Finally, The Gil's Arena Crew gives their final predictions of the NBA MVP Award and debate if Nikola Jokic's dominant individual season will be overshadowed by Shai Gilgeous Alexander's near perfect campaign when factoring in the success of the OKC Thunder's NBA leading 68 Wins.
