In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, D Wright, Bob, and Chris Johnson dive into the Knicks-Pacers series. They stress the importance of the Knicks using their bench more, highlighting players like DiVincenzo and McBride for bringing energy and professionalism when given the chance. The Pacers’ tough defense and faster pace created problems for New York, but the Knicks showed grit and made key coaching adjustments to win Game 3.
Turning to the West, the hosts discuss the Timberwolves-Thunder matchup. Minnesota’s dominant Game 3 performance caught their attention, especially Anthony Edwards’ leadership and fearless play, drawing comparisons to Kobe Bryant. Veteran players like Mike Conley and Rudy Gobert also stood out for their playoff experience and steady presence. The Thunder’s chances depend on containing Minnesota’s supporting players while relying on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to perform at a high level.
Throughout the conversation, the hosts emphasize the demanding nature of the playoffs—no shortcuts, intense physicality, and the crucial role coaching adjustments play as these series reach their most critical moments.
