In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, Dorell Wright, Chris Johnson, and Udonis Haslem go all-in on the NBA playoffs. From the fierce West matchups to rising stars in the East, the crew gives raw, real-time takes on what teams need to survive this year’s postseason pressure.
They talk about the Golden State vs. Houston clash, playoff habits, and why experience still matters when the lights get bright. The conversation moves from Giannis dominating with Greece, to the Cavs’ under-the-radar upgrades, to OKC’s defensive firepower—and the heart that comes with knowing your role.
The guys end on the Lakers vs. Timberwolves and if LeBron will suit up—spoiler: they believe he’s built differently. With locker room wisdom, heated opinions, and big-picture playoff energy, this episode is full of straight talk and no fluff.
This is what happens when you put a table full of pros together—they talk real basketball.
