In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Jimmy Watkins discuss the Cleveland Cavaliers' disappointing 14-11 start to the season. They analyze the team's lack of mental toughness, inconsistent effort and a perceived sense of entitlement as the primary reasons for their struggles.
