Drafting the 3 most consequential Cavs storylines coming out of the All-Star break

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, co-hosts Chris Fedor and Jimmy Watkins (filling in for Ethan Sands) discuss the Cavs’ scorching hot streak, whether they have corrected the problems that ailed them during last season’s playoff loss to the Knicks, where they stand in the Eastern Conference’s hierarchy. Also, they discuss the Craig Porter Jr. success story.
Topics include:
·       The All-Star game has lost its appeal and needs to be improved to make it more exciting and meaningful for players and viewers.
·       The dynamic between Jared Allen and Evan Mobley will be crucial for the Cavs’ success in the second half of the season.
·       The Cavs need to find the right balance between offensive spacing and defensive strength in their lineup.
·       Darius Garland needs to regain his form and play at a higher level for the Cavs to make a deep playoff run.
·       Seeding is important for the Cavs to have a favorable matchup in the playoffs and maximize their home court advantage.
·       JB Bickerstaff needs to manage the rotation effectively and give players like Sam Merrill.
·       Donovan Mitchell needs to elevate his play in the playoffs and prove himself as a postseason performer.
·       The Miami Heat are the scariest potential play-in team.
