Gil's Arena Breaks Down LeBron's MESSAGE To The Lakers

Gil's Arena Breaks Down How Shai Gilgeous Alexander SAVED The Oklahoma City Thunder's Season as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to Game 4 of the Mavs vs Thunder Series that saw SGA dip into his bag of mid-range magic to hold off Luka Doncic & Kyrie Irving on another off night offensively for the Mavericks' superstars. They also react to Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and The Boston Celtics taking care of business against the Cavs without Donovan Mitchell but question if the close win showed that the C's aren't the championship caliber team we all thought they were. Next, they discuss LeBron James attendance to the Cavs' crucial playoff game and debate if the King's appearance has anything to with the Los Angeles Lakers ongoing coaching search which is being whittled down to JJ Redick and Celtics Assistant Sam Cassell. Finally, they preview the tip off of the WNBA season, discussing Caitlin Clark's much anticipated debut & debating if anyone will catch the Las Vegas Aces this season.

Can't lie McCants is a much needed member of the show, it's a lot of dead air when McCants isn't on, energy is important and regardless of how people feel about McCants and his opinions and takes he brings energy and that's KEY!

LA doesn't need an inexperienced first timer. Cassell has been an assistant for over a decade and overlooked for numerous jobs.

[@Sckoobiey]

He would still be a first time head coach 🤣🤣 literally contradicting yourself from the first line to the second line. Make your mind up

[@justified004]

@corwincurlinjr6690 LOL. I guess you missed the part where I said inexperienced. What experience does JJ Redick have coaching? I know Cassell has never been an HC, but 15 years of being an assistant is way better than JJ. Keep up because I spelled it out.

[@Racoons4Change]

I don’t think great coaches have ever been readily available. I think the great ones stick with their teams. Spo, pop, Malone. These are the three longest tenured coaches. I think Lionel hollins deserves another shot.

[@justified004]

@Racoons4Change going to thw right franchise and GM matter as well. LA has always been title hungry and impatient. Just look at the last 20 years of coaches they went through. Or how Pat Riley even came to be. LA doesn't wait because they invest so much in star power. There's no time for a coach to figure it out or build something.

[@startingnew2024]

Well it really is all falling in place for Mr. Reddick. Keep this in mind as well, Lebron wanted Bronny to play for Coach K but, he retired.

[@nastystew6942]

Facts

[@RITAS1964]

Why is Bron using his clout to move the needle for his child an issue and not just life when million others have done or doing the same thing 🤔 Is it because he is a Black man building generational wealth like the white, Jewish, Asian Hispanic and all other communities in USA non Black communities. The fear of Black people sticking and building together vs the hating and envy.

[@terranceburrs5832]

To Sheryl Swoopes, I've been a diehard WNBA fan since the first season in 1997. The Comets vs Aces would be a good playoff matchup, but the Comets would not win a series against the Aces. The New York Liberty back then won a game in the finals on the road against the Comets and they were not a great offensive team, so the Aces can definitely win a game and then some. The WNBA teams back in the late 90s were nowhere near as good as the WNBA teams now.
