Rookie Coaches, Ring Night & SGA’s MVP Hunt | Dwyane Wade TimeOut S3 Episode 2

Opening week is here, and TimeOut is back with its first full week of games. In the Rookie Report, we look at three first-year head coaches: Micah Nori in Portland, Dusty May in Dallas, and Tiago Splitter in Chicago. We ask the big question: how do you earn trust and command a locker room full of established stars? Then it’s time for the Lob. Dwyane shares what he worked on with Donovan Mitchell this summer, including footwork, the mid-post game, and slowing things down for a playoff run. He also explains why Jalen Johnson didn’t wait to be handed the keys in Atlanta. Plus, opening night reactions: the Pistons’ comeback against Boston, why ring night is the hardest game of the year for the Knicks, Philly’s statement win, and a motivated SGA chasing MVP number three.
