Tune in Thursday night at 6:30 PM CT.

In the first segment, the Managing Editor of Grizzly Bear Blues Chris Faulkner will join Chip and Joe as the trio take a look at the end of the Grizzlies-Warriors series, the giant Spanish elephant in the room and what Memphis has to do this off-season to improve upon their 2014-2015 campaign.
