0:00 .... Ross hello and welcome, introduces the panel, and dedicates show #158 to Jack McVeigh of the Houston Rockets who is the only NBA player to wear uniform #58. 1:33 ... Instant reaction to Tuesday night's game #4 of the Knicks/Pacers Eastern Conference Finals playoff series. 2:45 ... Bruce highlights the performances of Tyrese Haliburton, Bennedict Mathurin, and Pascal Siakam who were the biggest reasons Indiana took game #4 and grabbed a 3-1 series lead. 3:53 ... Ross pointed out how it was a game of runs but Indiana never allowed New York to really get close enough to threaten the Pacers. 4:55 ... World B was disgusted with the sloppy play of the Knicks and feels they need to reduce turnovers in game 5 if they hope to extend the series.  He is also concerned about the health of Karl-Anthony Towns who hurt his knee in the 4th quarter on Tuesday night. 7:23 ... The crew previews game 5 in New York and discusses if Tom Thibodeau will dial back his rotation as he did in the first two games. 10:17 ... Ross is concerned about how Towns will be perceived by the NY fans if he doesn't play in game 5 due to his knee.  Bruce needs Mikal Bridges to show up big in game #5, but World B points out how hard Bridges has to work on defense against Haliburton. 14:38 ... Ross tees up a brief discussion on how Thibodeau expanded his rotation and how Josh Hart nudged him into doing it by offering to come off the bench and allow Mitchell Robinson to start games 3 and 4. 16:00 ... Western Conference Finals discussion as Oklahoma City won Monday's game #4 to put a stranglehold on their series against Minnesota.  Bruce felt the tone was set in the first quarter.  World B says the series is over now that OKC has a 3-1 series lead and it was impressive how they bounced back from a 42 point loss on Saturday.  Ross agrees and praises Jalen Williams of the Thunder for his great performances.  Everyone feels the series is over except for the final result.  OKC's defense is the decisive factor. 23:25 ... Anthony Edwards needs a great performance in game 5 after scoring just 13 points in game 4.  World B feels he is not holding himself accountable. 24:18 ... Ross wants to praise Minnesota's Nickiell Alexander-Walker whose great postseason performances will help him find a team willing to pay him big bucks as a free agent this off-season. 24:50 .... Shai Gilgeous-Alexander beat Nikola Jokic for the MVP Award ... the guys discuss the large margin of victory in the voting and how both players were most deserving of the award. 28:13 ... All-NBA Team discussions ... On the first team the only quibble was Donovan Mitchell making it over Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brunson, and Stephen Curry. 30:33 .... On the second team, the guys discussed LeBron James making it in spite of ESPN's Brian Windhorst not voting him on any of the three All-NBA teams. 33:36 ... On the third team, Bruce bemoaned the fact that Jaylen Brown fell two games short of the 65 game minimum to qualify for All-NBA.  Bruce felt he would have made the third team, but sacrificed an individual award in order to be healthier for the playoffs and Bruce is really annoyed at some Celtics fans who are blaming Brown for the team's earlier than expected postseason exit.  World B felt Tyler Herro should have made third team over James Harden.  Ross pointed out that if not for injury, Victor Wembanyama would also have probably made 2nd or 3rd team All-NBA and probably also won Defensive Player of the Year. 37:08 ... Smokin' Hot Take from World B ... Cade Cunningham will be first team All-NBA next season.  This bodes well for the Pistons ascending into the top 4 in the eastern conference next season. 40:10 ... Final Thoughts ... Bruce on how OKC's comeback from a 42 point loss to Minnesota last weekend reminds him of two former NBA Championship teams that had similar experiences 40 seasons ago: the 1984 Celtics and the 1985 Lakers. 41:30 .... World B on how the Knicks loss to Indiana in game one was not the biggest choke in the Knicks history.  It was 30 years ago when Reggie Miller made the Knicks the worst chokers in franchise history.  Tyrese Haliburton will clearly haunt World B's dreams for many years to come. 46:16  ... Ross on how all the off-season transactions will be very exciting this year.  And from that he says goodbye and "see you next week." TRT 46:57

An INSANE Night In The NBA Playoffs Turns Gil's Arena Upside Down as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to a crazy night of NBA action that will change the league for many years to come. They start things off by reacting to the NBA Draft Lottery that awarded the Dallas Mavericks with the #1 overall picks and rights to Cooper Flagg just 4 months after trading Luka Doncic to Lebron James' Los Angeles Lakers. They break down the immense impact Flagg will have on the Mavericks' core of Kyrie Irving & Anthony Davis and debate if the NBA stepped in to award Nico Harrison for his move to save the Lakers. They also react to the San Antonio Spurs & Philadelphia 76ers landing at the top of a loaded draft and debate what these teams will do to surround stars like Victor Wembanyama, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey with more young talent. Next, they react to the devastating night for the Boston Celtics as the reigning champions fell down 3-1 in the NBA Playoffs to the New York Knicks and also likely lost franchise player Jayson Tatum to a serious injury. They break down the heartbreaking news for the Celtics and discuss the lasting impact this will have on the team moving forward before analyzing how Jalen Brunson, Karl Anthony-Towns and Mikal Bridges lifted the Knicks to the brink of one of the more shocking upsets in recent years. Finally, they react to all the action across the NBA Playoffs including the battle of NBA MVP Candidates between Nikola Jokic & Shai Gilgeous Alexander, Anthony Edwards lifting the Minnesota Timberwolves over a Steph Curry-less Golden State Warriors squad, and The Cleveland Cavaliers meltdown against Tyrese Haliburton & The Indiana Pacers.

0:00 ... Ross hello & welcome ... introduces panel and dedicates episode #156 to Stephen Curry for his 56 point game against Orlando in February. 1:23 ... Ross tees up discussion of the Knicks big win over Boston on Monday night, giving NY a 3-1 lead in their playoff series.  World B feels it was one of the most impressive Knicks games in more than two decades. 3:32 ... Bruce felt that even with an 11 point lead at halftime, the Celtics were not in great shape because the Knicks stayed attached the entire game. 5:04 ... Jayson Tatum played great until he injured himself in the final minutes but it appears to be a serious injury and it sure looks bad for his return on Wednesday. for game 5. 8:00 ... Bruce appreciated Tatum's scoring heroics in game 4, but took issue with some of his shot decisions and how they helped stifle the Celtics ball movement, thus playing into New York's hands.  World B points out how Boston plays a lot of isolation ball and when they don't penetrate into the paint, they can be successfully defended. 10:46 ... With Tatum likely unavailable in game five, the guys discuss who might step up for Boston.  Jrue Holiday might be ready to have a big night. 13:08 ... Ross and World B discuss the pressure NY may feel if Boston can somehow take game 5 on Wednesday.  World B has lots of praise for Tatum and how much he respects him. 15:08 ... Ross is concerned that Kristaps Porzingis may be physically unable to step up in to help fill the void that Tatum leaves in game five. 15:39 .... The Cavaliers are being curb stomped by Indiana as they also trail their series 3 games to one.  They may not be dead, but they're close to dead.  The Cavs are lucky that Sunday's blowout only counted for one loss. 22:30 ... Bruce puts Bennedict Mathurin on notice that moves like his bush league punch in game 4 will get him extra scrutiny from the refs if the Pacers move on.  World B feels like Indiana has exhibited some punk-like behavior in the series. 23:59 ... The Thunder and Nuggets are tied at 2 games each out west and OKC's defense has carried the team with their offense not looking especially sharp. 25:15 .... Bruce predicts that Shai Gilgeous Alexander will received his MVP Award on Tuesday night before game 5.  Bruce feels that OKC's defense wore down the Nuggets in game four and in the final quarter caused the Nuggets to "drop their hands" like a boxer who absorbs too many punches to the ribs.  Ross predicts a Nuggets win in game five and a seven game series ... World B agrees and has high praise for Aaron Gordon of the Nuggets for his performance.  Ross feels Gordon is their 3rd most important player. 32:33 ... Game four of Timberwolves/Warriors was underway as the show was being recorded on Monday night and none of the guys felt that Golden State would come back to take the series.  Julius Randle was having another big game and has found his playoff groove in Minnesota.  With Steph Curry injured, they just need more scoring than they can muster right now. 36:14 ... The Draft Lottery took place on Monday night and the guys respond to the Dallas Mavericks beating the odds and earning the right to draft Cooper Flagg in June's NBA Draft.  Bruce was thinking that when the Spurs made it into the top four, they might once again get the 1st overall pick as they did with Victor Wembanyama, Tim Duncan, and David Robinson in previous NBA Drafts. 37:50 ... The saddest teams in the league have to be Charlotte, Washington, and Utah, all of whom were hosed in the lottery and missed out on the #1 overall pick. 41:08 ... The guys take issue with ESPN's star NBA journalist Shams Charania claiming that Giannis Antetokounmpo discussed leaving Milwaukee for the very first time this weekend when he actually did it on our podcast back in September of 2023.  We playfully demanded an apology but offered to kiss and make up if he joins us on a future show to talk hoop!  Giannis' comments on 48 Minutes were instrumental in helping the Bucks to acquire Damian Lillard, which required them to trade Jrue Holiday to Portland and led to the trade to the Celtics. 44:10 ... Ross was on Milwaukee radio today and told the host "Sparky" Fifer that Bucks fans shouldn't panic because Giannis is loyal to the Bucks and the city. 45:38 ... Milwaukee can't expect to get equal value in return for Giannis in any trade because players of his caliber are hardly ever are traded.  Oklahoma City has the assets needed to entice the Bucks into a possible trade, so we'll see if those teams do business in the off-season. 50:10 ... Ross wraps things up and says goodbye. TRT 50:33

With tears in their eyes they move on to recap Game 5 of the Houston Rockets vs Golden State Warriors series, where the Rockets took a hostile approach to slowing down Steph Curry to get themselves back in the series.

Then, they react to the NBA Jersey sales numbers from this season where Luka Doncic took the top spot following his trade to the Los Angeles Lakers, sparking a debate on if this proves that the Slovenian superstar is the next face of the NBA or if someone lurking lower on the list like Jayson Tatum & Victor Wembanyama will unseat Luka for the top spot.

0:00 ... Show open and Ross intros the panel and our special guest Jared Greenberg of TNT Sports and NBA TV. 0:47 ... Ross dedicates episode #152 to the Houston Rockets, who won 52 games this season. 1:08 ... Bruce introduces Jared Greenberg ot TNT Sports and NBA TV 1:49 ... Eastern conference "play in tournament" preview ... Orlando and the Bulls get the 7 and 8 spots 3:02 ... Western conference "play in" preview ... Golden State gets #7 and Memphis #8 3:48 ... Will Houston be challenged by a #7 seed like Golden State in the first round?  Jared is impressed by Houston's mental makeup. 6:07 ... The Rockets are one of the hardest playing teams in the league ... Detroit and OKC are the others.  Jared expects ramped up intensity from all 3 of them in the playoffs. 7:06 ... Ross tees up the preview of the Pistons/Knicks series ... lots of pressure on the Knicks while the Pistons are playing with house money. 8:45 ... Will the season be a bust if the Knicks don't make the conference finals?  Jared puts their season into context and suggests changes may be coming if they fall short of expectations. 10:06 ... The Pistons have more playoff experience than many realize and NY really needs Jalen Brunson to play well. 11:11 .... Indiana vs Milwaukee is a repeat of last season's 4 vs 5 matchup in the east ... with Damian Lillard out, can the Bucks possibly win the series?  Since Giannis is the best player on the court, he may be able to carry Milwaukee to a series victory. 12:35 ... Ross asks Jared about the Bucks personnel moves during the season with the addition of Kyle Kuzma and Kevin Porter Junior and the loss of Khris Middleton. 15:26 ... Tyrese Haliburton has been spectacular since the All-Star break ... his numbers across the board have been great.  But Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner have been solid too. 17:17 ... Can any lower seeds challenge Cleveland or Boston in the east?  Is there any chance the Cavs could start their first playoff series on a "down" note in game one?  Which first round opponent would give Cleveland's defense problems? 19:17 ... Jared sizes up a possible eastern conference finals matchup between Boston and Cleveland. 20:40 ... Joe Mazzulla risked losing some games during the season in order to give guys rest and keep them fresh for the playoffs.  Much like the 1995 Rockets, the 2025 Celtics knew they could take their foot off the gas at times in search of a larger prize. 22:57 ... Cade Cunningham and Evan Mobley are two young players who will have huge opportunities in the playoffs.  Jared feels that Mobley's success will be somewhat dependent on Donovan Mitchell, who must continue his "team first" play. 24:49 ... The Wolves/Lakers 3 vs 6 series in the west should be fascinating ... Jared feels like Minnesota really stepped up their defense as the season wore on.   Julius Randle may have some extra motivation as a former Laker.  Will Anthony Edwards help eliminate a Hall of Famer for the second year in a row? 28:02 ... Minnesota has an advantage with better bigs, so JJ Redick may go small and try to limit Rudy Gobert's impact. 29:16 .... Denver vs the LA Clippers in the 4 vs 5 series ... Nikola Jokic gives the Nuggets a presence that no team can match.  Kawhi Leonard's health is always a potential issue.  And Ivica Zubac is someone Jared has his eyes on regarding the matchup with Jokic. 30:36 ... Ross asks if any team in the west can challenge OKC ... um ... No.  But Jared feels any number of teams could make it to the western conference finals, they just can't beat the Thunder. 32:16 ... NBA Championship matchup: Boston vs Oklahoma City ... so who does Jared think will win the Larry O'Brien Trophy?  Can the Thunder find a second consistent scorer along with Gilgeous-Alexander? 34:46 ... Ross asks about Jared's favorite postgame interview and he has a really good Stephen Curry story. 36:02 ... Postseason Awards discussion ... who will win MVP? 37:45 ... Is Shai Gilgeous-Amexander a "mini version" of Jokic due to his playing style? 39:39 ... Rookie of the Year?  Jared runs through the list of worthy candidates but settles on ____! 40:14 ... Defensive Player of the Year?  Victor Wembanyama would have won if not for missing so many games, but he doesn't qualify.  Jared drops a great stat about Wemby and Brook Lopez. 43:29 ... Most Improved Player?  As a former number one overall pick, should Cade Cunningham really be considered? 45:28 ... World B likes Cunningham but also feels Ivica Zubac is worthy. 48:41 ... Coach of the Year?  Jared has four solid candidates but he feels that rewarding the coach of a 6 seed is an problem for him.  So he's going with the coach who took a good team to "great," rather than taking a bad team to "good." 49:25 ... Jared has worked for TNT's NBA coverage for more than a decade and he shares his feelings about the final weeks of TNT's NBA coverage as their 36 year run covering the league ends in early June. 51:06 ... Ross thanks Jared and wraps things up ... TRT 51:34

Victor Wembanyama a tenu à rassurer ses fans cette semaine en affirmant qu'il serait prêt pour le début de la prochaine saison avec les Spurs, malgré les soucis physiques qu'il traîne depuis plusieurs semaines. Sans entrer dans les détails de son traitement, le jeune prodige tricolore a évoqué un optimisme mesuré. Si son ton se veut confiant sur sa rééducation, il reconnaît aussi que le flou persiste quant à certains aspects de sa récupération, ce qui rend toute projection prématurée et une participation pour l"Euro avec les Bleus en suspens.Avec Jacques Monclar, Nicolas Sarnak et Baptiste Denis.Jacques Monclar, Rémi Reverchon, Mary Patrux, Xavier Vaution, Fred Weis et Chris Singleton décryptent l'actualité de la NBA dans le Podcast NBA Extra.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting for Wednesday. The guys are ramping up for the NBA stretch run and provide best bets. The latest episode of the NBA podcast on RJ Bell's Dream Preview, hosted by Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers, covers key NBA topics as the regular season nears its end. With around 16–17 games left, they discuss team performances, injuries, and betting angles for the Lakers, Bucks, Thunder, Celtics, Suns, Rockets, Timberwolves, and Nuggets. The Lakers' situation is a focal point, especially LeBron James' groin injury, sidelining him for 1–2 weeks. Mackenzie, holding an under 49.5 wins bet on the Lakers, sees hope as they've lost to the Celtics and Nets. With a tough schedule ahead, including games against the Thunder, Bucks, and Nuggets, he believes they may struggle to reach 50 wins despite improving as a team. Shifting to the Bucks, Milwaukee holds a 36–27 record with the sixth-hardest remaining schedule, including key matchups against contenders. Mackenzie projects them to surpass 46.5 wins and sees playoff potential, though he doubts they can challenge Boston or Cleveland. He also critiques the Kyle Kuzma trade, questioning whether he improves the team over Khris Middleton. The episode highlights a marquee matchup between the Thunder and Celtics. Boston is a 4.5-point favorite, but Mackenzie argues Oklahoma City has been the better team. He points to Boston's weak home-court advantage and statistical inferiority, supporting a bet on the Thunder. Munaf notes Oklahoma City's impressive 24-7 road record and believes Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will exploit Boston's defense. The Suns' fading playoff hopes are another focus. With chemistry concerns, including reports of Kevin Durant's frustration, Phoenix struggles to stay competitive. Sitting outside the play-in tournament, they must overtake the struggling Mavericks. However, Munaf and Mackenzie question their motivation, especially given recent locker-room tension. Meanwhile, the Rockets, currently fifth in the West at 40–25, are dealing with depth issues. Injuries to Amen Thompson and Fred VanVleet complicate their guard rotation. Mackenzie sees value in betting on Phoenix, given Houston's instability and VanVleet's struggles. Munaf agrees, predicting strong performances from Durant and Booker. Next, the Timberwolves vs. Nuggets matchup is analyzed. Denver, a 3.5-point home favorite, seeks revenge after losing twice in Minnesota. Mackenzie leans toward a Nuggets moneyline bet, citing their superior clutch play and Nikola Jokić's ability to dominate late in games. He notes Denver's outstanding home record, making them a solid bet. Munaf's best bet is the over (237.5) in Mavericks vs. Spurs. He highlights San Antonio's poor defense without Victor Wembanyama, leading to high-scoring games. The Spurs have allowed an average of 256 combined points in their last six contests. Despite missing key scorers, Dallas remains potent, and both teams play at a fast pace. Munaf expects a high-scoring affair. The episode concludes with discussions on March Madness contests at Pregame.com, promo codes for betting packages, and upcoming player prop bets.
