As a top team in the league, the Cavaliers also easily won the first place in the Eastern Conference in the regular season. But in fact, everyone understands that this kind of dark horse team is really a bit uneasy. Because there are quite a lot of contradictions and problems within the team, now in the playoffs, everyone has seen the problems existing in the team.
In the just-concluded NBA playoff Eastern Conference semifinals, the Cavaliers were defeated by the Pacers 119-120 at home, and the total score was 0-2. Now the Cavaliers have entered a desperate moment, and there is a problem of insufficient morale among the team. What frustrated everyone even more is that the Cavaliers are now behind in big scores. After the game, Cavaliers coach Atkinson's remarks caused great controversy. He said in the interview: "It's a pity that I think the whole team has exhausted energy as a whole. They have strengthened their physical confrontation. But this is the playoffs."
Through the coach's speech, we can actually clearly hear that he is quite dissatisfied with the Cavaliers players. He believes that there are big problems within the Cavaliers now, and the players start to get uncomfortable after the playoffs. The Cavaliers are currently 0-2 behind the Pacers and are in trouble. There were disharmonious voices within the team due to Atkinson's remarks, which was extremely unfavorable to subsequent games. If internal conflicts cannot be resolved in time and state adjustments, the Cavaliers will face greater difficulties in the next game.
This also explains why the Cavaliers have always hoped that James will return. This experienced top player can provide great help to the team in the playoffs. Let the entire team reach a new level, instead of always being in a state of lack of energy.
