Chris and Lyndsay react to the WNBA Draft Lottery and Dallas getting the right to draft Paige Bueckers, discuss James Harden passing Ray Allen on the career 3-pointer list and why celebrity wines are always an interesting endeavour before launching into why being a hater is the best way to watch sports the eight simple rules to follow in order to be an ethical hater.

After a brief hiatus, Chris (DNP-CD) and Lyndsay (OUT - Wine Tasting in Tuscany) have returned to the lineup, this time drinking a Gewurztraminer. After some brief discussion about this exciting and odd grape, they break down the New York Liberty winning their first ever WNBA Championship over the Minnesota Lynx, where those teams go from here, and the lack of WNBA head coaching job security and the causes/implications, before pivoting to early NBA action and Vince Carter's jersey retirement.

Chris and Lyndsay are back with their takes on the WNBA playoffs to date including: how the Liberty inspired their wine choices (bonus wine this week!), no Aces three-peat, why the Connecticut Sun are still on fraud watch, and the Minnesota Lynx and their Pheends. After talking about the teams still in it, they move to the teams who are officially in the off-season and some quick NBA pre-season thoughts.
