On May 14, 2025, in the G5 of the NBA Playoff Eastern Conference Semi-finals, the Cavaliers lost to the Pacers 105-114, and were eliminated 1-4 in a big score. Pacers entered the Eastern Conference Final for two consecutive years! But the Cavaliers missed the Eastern Conference Finals.

So far, the Cavaliers entered the Eastern Conference Finals in 2018; and in the eight Eastern Conference Finals experiences in the Cavaliers, only two were completed without LeBron James (1976 and 1992); in the 11 seasons with James, the Cavaliers entered the Eastern Conference Finals six times, five times and one time won the championship.

It is worth mentioning that this season, the Cavaliers will win 36 and lose 5 at home against other teams, and 0 and 5 losses against the Pacers. Is the Walker the Knight's nemesis? Although the Cavaliers were eliminated, Mitchell did not lose. It can be said that he gave all his money and burned himself up. Mitchell played for 37 minutes with an injury, made 8 of 25 shots, 4 of 13 three-pointers, 15 of 21 free throws, scored 35 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 breaks and 1 block. In Mitchell's career, he has been ranked first in the division twice but missed the division final.

The Cavaliers were eliminated and Garland performed a disaster. They were really a "as always" key battle. They played in 33 minutes and made only 4 of 16 shots, including 0 of 6 three-pointers and missed layups. They only scored 11 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 mistakes! Positive and negative values ​​- 18 lowest in the team!

Garland is a small defender. When the opponent can open up space, you will be beaten as a small defender to defend Siakam. Just like when Teague faced LeBron at that time, it was the same.

I still remember that in January 2015, the Hawks won all 17 games, and the Hawks started five players and became the player of the month together. That year the Hawks won 60 wins in the regular season, and Millsap, Horford, Korver and Teague were selected as All-Stars. In the 2015 Eastern Conference Finals, the Hawks lost to the Cavaliers 0-4.

Seriously, Garland really needs to strengthen physical training this offseason, become stronger, and be more psychologically resilient. His performance in the playoffs this year was a very disappointing one. It's a pity that the league's first record.

Halliburton played for 36 minutes, making 10 of 15, including 6 of 10 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 31 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal, plus or negative value +27.

It can be said that Pacers defender Teres Halliburton performed very well, with both offense and pass, and made great contributions. He even scored 5 three-pointers in the second quarter and set a team record in the team's history.

Even James tweeted and praised Halliburton, and he wrote: "Harry played so badly!!! Where are the idiots who said he was overrated??! It was quiet to death. This kid is so outstanding that everyone is willing to play with him!

I think fans and even most of the well-known basketball commentators are not optimistic about the Pacers. They have heard people talking about the Pacers throughout the season, saying that they can enter the Eastern Conference Finals in 24 years because of their luck, but they did it again. The East will never rely solely on luck for the second consecutive year. If it is really lucky, it is to win the Bucks without Antetokounmpo in the first round last year, and the rest are all real.

The East was swept out by the gentleman in the first round. Who has the biggest problem in this round of the series?
