On May 7, in the second round of the NBA Eastern Conference playoffs, the Cavaliers suffered a black start and were once again troubled by injuries. Three core players including Garland, Mobley and Hunter were absent from this game, while the Pacers played healthy.
Brothers, I am Lao Liu, the Basketball Special Correspondent. The Cavaliers lacked Garland on the field and lost to the Pacers. This game was even worse. On the basis of Alan, Mobley, the best defensive player, was absent due to a sprain of his left ankle, and Hunter, the team's sixth man, was absent due to a sprain of his thumb. The Cavaliers' offense and defense were further weakened, and the Pacers may take the opportunity to steal another victory.
According to statistics, in the history of the NBA playoffs, there have been 442 2-0 leads. Among them, 410 leading teams advanced with a promotion rate of 92.8%; a total of 32 teams have completed a comeback, with a return rate of 7.2%.
Therefore, if the Cavaliers really lose two games in a row, and lose two home games, this team that has won 64 wins in the regular season may be stopped in the second round. Although Cavaliers head coach Atkinson won the coach of the year, he really has to learn from his lessons: "Which 82 regular season games can ensure the record while allowing more core players to adjust their rest reasonably and ensure their physical condition."
Garland, Mobley, and Hunter, these three people are not stylists. Their injuries are more like excessive physical exhaustion in the regular season, resulting in easy physical injury.
Garland: played 57 games last season, 75 games this season
Mobley: played 50 games last season, 71 games this season
Hunt: played 57 games last season, 54 games this season
