Summary
In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands, Chris Fedor and Jimmy Watkins analyze the Cleveland Cavaliers' Game 2 loss to the Detroit Pistons, dropping them into a 0-2 hole in the series. The primary focus of the discussion is the Cavs' sudden and drastic inability to execute in clutch, late-game situations — the exact reason the team traded for James Harden. The guys express concern over Harden's performance, noting he looks sluggish, is plagued by turnovers, and might be dealing with a hand injury. Furthermore, the hosts discuss Donovan Mitchell's apparent ankle injury and heavily critique center Evan Mobley for his lack of aggressiveness and rebounding, contrasting his struggles with Jarrett Allen's solid play. The episode concludes with a debate over potential lineup changes, such as starting Max Strus or Jaylon Tyson, as the team faces a critical Game 3. Learn more about your ad choices.
