Jimmy Miller and Adam Stone recap a wild MLP Chicago event, where JW Johnson led the Dallas Flash to their second consecutive title and extended their winning streak to 11 straight matches. The guys debate whether Dallas is now the best dark-horse championship pick and whether the pickleball world has become too quick to doubt Ben Johns after one off performance.

They also discuss Arman Bhatia’s season-ending injury, the Chicago Slice’s surprising youth movement, Anouar Braham’s breakout performance and the increasingly complicated race for the final MLP playoff spots.
