The 1st Round Of The NBA Play-In ELECTRIFIES Gil's Arena as Gilbert Arenas, Skip Bayless & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the opening round of the NBA-Play In where the Charlotte Hornets took down the Miami Heat in an instant classic and the Portland Trail Blazers stunned the Phoenix Suns on the road. They tip things off by reacting to the Hornets' overtime victory over the Heat despite off shooting nights from LaMelo Ball and rookie sensation Kon Knurppel and give their takes on the controversial play from LaMelo Ball that forced Bam Adebayo out of the game. They also discuss what's next for the Miami Heat after their elimination from the NBA Playoffs and debate if Heat Culture is cooked if the team is unable to land a superstar this offseason. Next, they break down a stunning upset in the Western side of the play-in tournament as the Trail Blazers took down the Phoenix Suns and debate if Deni Avdija solidifed his status as a star in the NBA with a 40 point outburst in his first NBA Playoff action. They then highlight Jrue Holiday & interm head coach Tiago Splitter as unsung heroes for the Blazers during their improbable run to the NBA Playoffs and preview their upcoming series against Victor Wembanyama & The San Antonio Spurs before reacting to Brandon Jenning's viral tweet trying to start the conversation on Devin Booker.
