Show notes

Wednesday is do-or-die time for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"Must-win" is an overused phrase in sports, but the Cavs find themselves officially in must-win territory, facing an elimination game against the New York Knicks down 3-1 with Game 5 on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. EDT in Cleveland.

Chris Fedor joins Ashley Bastock to discuss how the Cavs have gotten themselves here in the latest episode of the Wine and Gold Talk Podcast.

The two dig into the Xs and Os of how the Knicks have been able to limit some of what the Cavs do best, including the rebounding disparity in the series, and Jalen Brunson's effectiveness in ISO situations. They also discuss some of the biggest questions they have heading into Game 5, most notably with Cleveland's rotation.

Finally, the duo talks about what it takes to come back from a 3-1 deficit -- something Cavs fans are very familiar with already.
