It s full of negative effects! Is it really unreliable for the Cavaliers backcourt to arrive at a critical moment?

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Indiana Pacers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers who played at home 114-105. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of this round of series to 4-1, successfully advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years; while the Cavaliers, who ranked first in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, unexpectedly failed to defeat this round of series and defeated their opponents.

In this game, the Cavaliers' starting point guard Darius Garland's performance was still very bad, and it can even be said to be extremely eye-catching. Garland played 33 minutes and 18 seconds in the whole game, made 4 of 16 shots, 0 of 6 from outside the three-point line, and 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and 5 turnovers and 4 fouls, with the plus and negative values ​​also low to -18. Garland has no touch on the offensive end, and his scoring ability is seriously insufficient. With so many shots, his data is so bleak, which is really incomprehensible. As a point guard, Garland's performance in sorting out the team's offense was also a mess, and he also made a lot of mistakes. Not only that, Garland's performance on the defensive end was also a terrible level, and he was completely unable to provide enough support to the team on the defensive end. Overall, Garland's performance on both offense and defense was very disappointing, which also led to the team's defeat to a large extent.

In the NBA regular season this season, Garland played 75 games in 82 games, averaging 30.7 minutes per game, averaging 20.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 0.1 blocks, and 2.5 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. He shot 47.2%, three-point shooting percentage 40.1%, and free throw shooting percentage 87.8%. During the playoffs, Garland played 5 games in 9 games, averaging 29.6 minutes per game, with 18 points, 2.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 0.4 steals per game, 3 turnovers and 3.4 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 42%, a three-point shooting percentage of 28.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 91.7%.

Garland's performance during the playoffs this season is really disappointing, especially in this round of the series, when the team needs him to stand up, Garland really did not show his characteristics and strength. Garland should have been a key figure in the team. He should have provided a lot of support to the team on the offensive end, but from the actual situation, he has no way to achieve good results on both offense and defense. It is also because of Garland's poor performance that the Cavaliers did not perform as well on the offensive end, and the team's scoring burden was pressed on Donovan Mitchell. Once Mitchell is abnormal, the Cavaliers will not be able to perform strongly.
