How important is experience vs. continuity for the Cavs to win Game 6 in Toronto?
Friday, 1 May, 2026
In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, host Ethan Sands and columnist Jimmy Watkins address Subtext subscriber questions as the Cleveland Cavaliers prepare for Game 6 of their playoff series against the Toronto Raptors. The discussion primarily centers on analyzing the team's recent defensive drop-offs, attributing them to a shift in scheme under head coach Kenny Atkinson that has inadvertently overtaxed rim protectors Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Offensively, the hosts evaluate the team's continuity struggles while integrating James Harden, praising Donovan Mitchell's strategic pacing, growth, and willingness to trust his teammates over playing "hero ball." Finally, they debate team dynamics, specifically whether the current roster has the necessary "nastiness" and physical grit to complement their skill sets for a deep postseason run.
