Fight or Flight:Which Teams Want It More, Breaking Down Keys To Victory, and Debating The Chances Against A Gorilla

In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, D Wright, Bob, and Chris Johnson show love to the fans, reflecting on how the show’s built a real community around honesty, hoop, and brotherhood.

The crew dives into the Knicks' playoff grind—giving props to Brunson, Hart, and OG, and breaking down how Coach Thibs’ gap-heavy defense is locking up driving lanes. Boston’s struggles get the spotlight, with questions around toughness, adjustments, and Jaylen Brown’s impact.

Chris drops coaching gems on rest vs. minutes, while the crew calls out the Cavs’ lineup issues and why going small might be their fix. They close with some classic Timeout energy: 100 men vs. one gorilla—who’s walking out?
