Gil's Arena CELEBRATES The Tip-Off Of The NBA Season as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew kick off the NBA Season with a jam packed episode inside the arena. They open up the show by reacting to the news that both Joel Embiid & Paul George will be out for at least the first few games of the Philadelphia 76ers season and discuss if this is just a minor speed bump in the 76ers championship plans or a sign of things to come. They then breakdown the roster of another eastern conference team with lofty expectations in the New York Knicks and discuss if the Knicks and their fans should be worried by Mikal Bridges pre-season shooting slump. Then they preview tonight's big games by reacting to Joe Mazzula saying the Boston Celtics have no pressure on them and discuss what Jayson Tatum and this team need to do if they want to repeat as NBA Champions before reacting to Jaylen Brown's interview with Stephen A Smith where he dished on Nike, Team USA and his goals for the 2024 NBA Season. Finally, Gil and the Crew break down their most anticipated game of the season with the Los Angeles Lakers by reacting to JJ Redick's opening night starting five and debate if LeBron James & Bronny James will make history and share the court for the first time as a father son duo.
