Jimmy Miller and Adam Stone recap a wild Newport Beach playoff weekend, including JW Johnson and the Dallas Flash taking down Ben Johns and the LA Mad Drops. The guys break down what went wrong for LA, why JW continues to look like one of the best players in the world, and whether Dallas has any chance of pulling off another massive upset in New York.

Then it's time to preview the MLP semifinals.

The New Jersey Fives chose Brooklyn—but Jimmy isn't convinced that was the right decision. With Christian Alshon and Rachel Rohrabacher presenting serious matchup problems, could Brooklyn actually knock off Anna Leigh Waters and the No. 1-seeded Fives? Jimmy is willing to call the upset.

Meanwhile, Jimmy has a MUCH stronger prediction for the other semifinal: the St. Louis Shock are going to “absolutely obliterate” Dallas. After three years of building one of MLP's strongest rosters—and spending big to do it—is this finally the year St. Louis wins the championship?
