Hosts Ben Rice and Phil Webster return with their tails tucked between their legs after going 0/2 in their Finals picks before the Conference Finals even happened. From a failed Robin for Giannis to a disastrous preseason decision for the Suns, we've got blame to share and plenty of beer to go around!
Over a split pint of Intrinsic, an Enhanced West Coast IPA, from Temescal, Headlands, and Del Cielo, we discuss our new picks for the winners of the Conference Finals, plus our 2021-2022 NBA Finals champs.
Along the way, we wonder what comes next for the losers, discuss one (positive) thing the NBA can take from the NFL, and make our selections for the 2021-2022 Milkshake IPA Player of the Year (you do not want this award and we have eliminated Russell Westbrook and James Harden from the running, in a very reasonable "hey, MJ can't win EVERY MVP" argument).

This week's beer is an SF Beer Week collab between Temescal Brewing (@temescalbeer), Headlands Brewing (@headlandsbrew), and Del Cielo Brewing (@delcielobrewing), and is absolutely worth seeking out.
