Then, Chad then wades into last night’s Wolves loss in the Western Conference Finals. They’re down 2-0 and are having a much harder time challenging the finely tuned Oklahoma City Thunder.

Chad implores that the hook come quicker for players that aren’t performing and provides some stats that could spell a rotational adjustment. Finally, Am I Wrong featuring Lindsey Brown. She wades into her hatred of white condiments and reality tv recruiting tactics.
