In this Game 7 special of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, D Wright, Bob, and Chris Johnson jump on live mid-Finals action from home to break down the biggest night in basketball. As OKC storms past Indiana to claim the title, the crew reacts in real-time to Tyrese Haliburton’s devastating early injury, dissect how it shifted the Pacers' rhythm, and credit OKC’s depth and poise on the biggest stage.
They spotlight Alex Caruso’s surprising offensive impact, Chet Holmgren’s unicorn-like evolution, and SGA’s crowning moment as both regular season and Finals MVP. The conversation goes deeper—debating legacy, leadership styles, the shifting landscape of dynasties in today’s NBA, and whether Russell Westbrook deserves more flowers.
Plus, the guys reflect on building The Timeout since the Luka trade, celebrate the platform’s fast rise, and tease a pivot toward deeper convos—from barbershop talk to fatherhood—in the offseason.
