Hot Take: Full 2020 WNBA season preview w/ Lindsay and Ari Jul 24, 2020

Show notes

Hi, friends. In this hot take, Arielle Chambers joins Lindsay Gibbs to give a team-by-team breakdown of the 2020 WNBA season. We select offensive and defensive MVPs of each team, highlight under-the-radar players to watch, and sort the teams into three tiers based on our predictions. The action starts on Saturday, July 25. To be honest, just getting to this close to tip-off has taken a lot out of us, so we get a bit loopy and distracted in this one, and it's all there in its unedited glory. But the most important thing is that we had fun, and that Ari's dog Tiger makes a cameo.
