In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor answer questions from Subtext subscribers, focusing on Kenny Atkinson’s start to the season. They dig into his rotations, his experimental decisions, and how the Cavs’ avalanche of injuries has shaped everything around him. They also dive into a long-term debate at the heart of Cleveland’s future: whether Darius Garland or Evan Mobley carries more weight in the team’s championship path.

The guys then look at the Cavs’ depth, examining which bench players have played their way into firmer rotation roles once everyone is healthy. To wrap up, Ethan and Chris lighten the mood with a holiday twist — ranking their favorite and least favorite cities to cover a Christmas game.
