The Cavaliers announced an unexpected decision, the Big Three may miss the G3, and the series has lost its suspense

On May 9, the NBA playoffs continued. I believe that friends who have watched this year's playoffs will have a word in their hearts, which is upset! Unlike in the past, the Warriors, Timberwolves and other teams in the first round of the playoffs this year have successfully counterattacked, and even entered the semi-finals of the division. The Knicks and the Pacers have teamed up to stage a double-killing defending champion Celtics and the Eastern Conference No. 1 Cavaliers.

I thought that this year the East would be the most suspenseless year. The Cavaliers and the Celtics dominated the country, but they did not expect that both of them would fall into a situation that would never be restored. Moreover, compared to the Celtics' All-Stars still being upset when they played, the Cavaliers' situation is really a bit sad. The team's starting five tigers fell three times, Alan has missed four games in a row due to injury, Mobley has an ankle injury, Hunter's finger sprained, and both of them missed the series G2 due to injuries.

Of course, putting aside the Pacers' performance in this round of the series, the Big Three Absent due to injury is the key reason why the Cavaliers lost two home games in a row. However, as the key G3 approaches, Cavaliers head coach Atkinson officially announced another unexpected decision. Garland, Mobley and Hunter are still suspected of playing in the next game. They can only conduct some basic shooting training at present, and they are far from reaching the real training class.

Missed the home advantage of the playoffs, and G3 is still a high probability of challenging the Pacers in the residual formation. Once the Cavaliers lose, the series will completely lose suspense. After all, looking at the entire NBA history, no team can chase 4 games in a row while falling behind 0-3. It is not difficult to see from the G2 game that it is really difficult for the Cavaliers to win if they don’t play the core lineup. Even if Mitchell scores 48 points, he will only be reduced to an empty score.

Finally, US media ESPN predicted that the G3 Pacers' victory was as high as 53.2%, while the Cavaliers had only 46.8%. Their only way to break the situation is that some of the Big Three will make a comeback, that's all.
