ESPN analysis: &amp appears in the new pattern of the NBA East; Pacers Knicks may eliminate the Cavaliers Celtics

On May 9, the famous American sports media ESPN analyzed: Perhaps two games have been played in the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals, which made no one expect that there will be a big score lead with all the following. The Pacers are currently leading the Cavaliers 2-0, and the Knicks are also leading the Celtics 2-0. This is the first time this situation has occurred in the Eastern Conference semifinals. According to the current game format of the teams of both sides, the Pacers and the Knicks are likely to eliminate their respective opponents and advance to the Eastern Conference finals, and a new pattern of strength has emerged in the East!

ESPN believes that the biggest problem the Cavaliers are currently facing is the team's injury. The three main players, Garland, Mobley and Hunter, have all suffered injuries. The Pacers, who rely solely on Mitchell's single core, obviously cannot fight the team's excellent Pacers. The most difficult thing for the Celtics is that their outside star lost in the playoffs. They rely too much on three-point shooting. Their three-point shooting percentage was only 25%. With such a three-point shooting percentage this season, the Celtics had 6 losses and 1 win, while the three-point shooting percentage exceeded 40%, and they achieved 25 wins and 2 losses.

ESPN Conclusion: The Cavaliers' injury problem cannot be fundamentally solved. This is a cruel playoff game. If you can't let players get back with injuries, it will be fatal to their career blow; and for the Celtics, they seem to lose three-pointers and will not attack, which is also an important reason why the scores were very low in both games with the Knicks. It is difficult for a team that has always relied on outside shooting to continue defending the championship. The Pacers and the Knicks really seized the opportunity to make a comeback and advance, and they could all achieve the following goal to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
