In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, D Wright, Bob, and Chris Johnson break down the OKC–Indiana Finals matchup.
They highlight OKC’s defense, SGA’s control of the game, and why their role players make them tough to beat. Wade calls the Pacers “silent killers,” and the crew respects their pace, ball movement, and depth.
Haliburton has to level up his scoring. Siakam’s experience matters. Carlisle’s adjustments could shift the series. The guys talk key matchups, coaching, and what it’ll take to win.
