In this episode of The WY Network, Dwyane Wade, Bob, D Wright, and Coach Chris Johnson dive into the hype, heat, and heart of the NBA playoff season. From Boston’s championship-level focus to OKC’s rising momentum, the crew breaks down their favorite matchups, sleeper teams, and the gritty reality of the play-in tournament.
They debate whether the play-in system rewards mediocrity or fuels competition, celebrate elite coaching minds like Spo and Jason Kidd, and reflect on how experience and adjustments can make or break a playoff run. With teams like Dallas, Miami, and the Lakers clawing for position, and stars like Anthony Edwards, Ja Morant, and AD stepping up—this episode delivers straight hoops talk.
The crew also makes early predictions, weighs in on playoff pressure, and shouts out the underdogs, including a heartfelt moment about Dwyane’s brother stepping up for the Knicks.
It’s an insightful conversation about competition, coaching, and that final push—running through the tape.
