Cavs’ depth shines in home opener, balanced attack propels them to 2-0 start: Wine and Gold Talk pod
In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor discuss the Cleveland Cavaliers’ strong start to the season, focusing on their 2-0 record and the importance of team identity, particularly on defense. They analyze individual performances, including Ty Jerome’s impact, injury updates on Max Strus, and the evolving roles of players like Dean Wade and Sam Merrill. The conversation also touches on defensive strategies against opponents and the need for the Cavs to capitalize on early-season wins as they look ahead to a challenging schedule.

ty jerome is better than garland thus far this season , he's probably a better two way player , time will tell lol
with dean healthy we are great, without him we are weak and out in round 1 or 2 ..
Ty is Ricky on steroids. No idea he was this good
If Ty keeps playing like this, Garland should start preparing for a new place to play. Pretty impressive start from Ty and pretty mediocre play from your “max” player. Garland stills makes stupid turnovers, something that absolutely should not happen from your point guard and apart from some pretty nifty passes, I haven’t been impressed with his offense.
I went to the game yesterday and found the Cavs play impressive overall basketball. I know that this is only the second game, but I was most excited about the fact that they displayed the outstanding defense that they learned from the coaching of Bickerstaff and seemed to have grasped the aggressive offensive schemes of their new coach, Atkinson, so early. I hope that they can continue to develop and grow with this coaching staff and style in the coming weeks. I also hope that the Cavs don’t get intoxicated with their early success and move players too soon. But we’ll see.
–Mitchell and Garland are definiteley all star players. They are terrific. Only they aren't Terrific when they're on the floor at the same time. Their level of play goes down when on the floor together.
— It was poetic justice. J b Treated wade like the Proverbial redheaded stepson And it was wade who stuck the dagger in his heart to win the game. I'll bet when wade got home, He and his wife did some high fiving. I know it's early but he's shooting sixty percent from the arc. He needs to play thirty minutes a game. He needs to shoot eight to ten threes per game. I don't know how he gets that many shots playing alongside Mobley, Dg and DM. They really don't need him to score when he's playing with them. It's almost a waste of his scoring talent when he plays alongside them.
— An interesting statistic from the game, The Pistons shot, what was it fifty five percent or so From the ark and only scored a total of one hundred and three points. Not many points available in the paint with Wade, Mobley and Allen in there.
—2nd game where the Cavs got out of the gate slowly. Need to keep an eye on the individual and team production level of DG and DM when they are playing tigether.
