  • Who is the Cavs' X-factor in a seven-game series? with Fear the Sword's Jackson Flickinger

    Who is the Cavs' X-factor in a seven-game series? with Fear the Sword's Jackson Flickinger
    Feb 21 2026
    In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, host Ethan Sands is joined by Jackson Flickinger of Fear the Sword to discuss the Cleveland Cavaliers' outlook for the rest of the season. From there, the conversation shifts to who this team is becoming. What is Cleveland’s identity with James Harden in the mix? How does his presence reshape the two-big dynamic of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen? And when the playoffs slow down and possessions tighten, what version of the Cavs can actually travel in a seven-game series? Ethan and Jackson also zoom out to size up the Eastern Conference landscape, breaking down potential matchups, stylistic clashes and which opponents would force Cleveland out of its comfort zone. The debate eventually circles back to the biggest question of all: Who is the Cavs’ true X-factor when the margins shrink and adjustments define the outcome? They close by redefining what success should look like this season. Is it about reaching a specific round, or is it about how the Cavs perform under pressure — their adaptability, poise and competitive edge when the lights are brightest?
