Neither three-pointer nor defense, the Cavaliers wings performance in the playoffs is terrible?

Basketball

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 performance of the Cavaliers' starting small forward Max Strus is still a disaster. Struz played 26 minutes and 07 seconds in the game, made 0 of 9 shots, 0 of 6 shots from outside the three-point line, did not score 1 point in the game, contributed only 7 rebounds and 2 assists, and had 4 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -3. Struz also got a lot of opportunities to make phone appearances on the offensive end, but he did not show anything outside the three-point line. As a pitcher, Struce should have taken more responsibility on the offensive end, but he has not done so at all. Not only that, Struz's performance in other aspects is also very average. He lacks contributions in other aspects and has not fully utilized his defensive ability. Struz was a mess on the court, and he didn't have the effect he should have. His performance was really disappointing.

In the NBA regular season this season, Struz averaged 25.5 minutes in 82 games, with averaging 9.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.1 turnovers and 2.1 fouls, shooting percentage of 44.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 38.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 82.4%. In the playoffs, Struz averaged 28.1 minutes in his first nine games, with averaging 11.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. He shot 41.6%, three-point shooting percentage 38.8%, and free throw shooting percentage 83.3%.

Struz's performance in the first round of the playoffs was quite good. He also showed good personal scoring ability. However, in this round of the series, Struz's performance in most games was terrible, and it can be said that he had not played out his characteristics and value at all. Struce should have played his versatility on the court and played his role in the 3D wing, but in these games, it seems that he is really at a level that cannot attack or defend. For the Cavaliers, Struz's performance is obviously very disappointing, and his ability seems to be very different from a champion-level player. Will the Cavaliers adjust the team's lineup this summer?
