In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, D Wright, Bob, Chris Johnson and guest Lance Fresh break down Indiana’s 92–62 rout of OKC in Game 6 of the NBA Finals and tee up the winner-takes-all Game 7. They spotlight Tyrese Haliburton’s clutch shooting, Obie Toppin’s off-ball mastery, and Andrew Nembhard’s lockdown defense on SGA, while critiquing OKC’s “laid-back” intensity and lauding Rick Carlisle’s bold move to start TJ McConnell early.
Drawing on Pat Riley’s teachings and Dwyane’s own 2006 Finals heroics, they debate the impact of veteran leadership, fan energy as the “sixth man,” and even player fashion risks at center court.
Picks are split: Fresh rides with the Pacers, Bob and Chris back an SGA-anchored OKC comeback, and Dwyane goes with the MVP at home.
