So what if I win 60 wins three times? This team can’t even enter the finals, wasting the peak of players!
Although Donovan Mitchell came on the court with an injury and scored 35 points, 9 rebounds and 4 steals in the whole game, the team eventually lost to the Pacers, and was completed by the opponent in the dark horse plot, and was eventually eliminated. And this time it also makes people sigh again, I am afraid that there will be no connection between the Cavaliers and the 60-win and champion. Looking back at their team's only two finals experiences and one championship season in their team history, we will find an interesting thing, that is, in these two seasons, the team's record is only 50 wins and 57 wins, and they have not won 60 wins respectively. In the three seasons with 60 wins, they failed to even enter the finals. Let’s review these three 60-win seasons together to see why the Cavaliers missed the championship!
1.08-09 season
Team record: 66 wins and 16 losses
Season result: Stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals
First of all, the Cavaliers made some changes this year, the most important thing is to introduce Morris Williams from the Bucks, and LeBron James also ushered in a qualitative change in personal ability and leadership ability this season. Both can score 28.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.1 blocks. With the support of James, Xiao Mo also played at the All-Star guard level, and his average data also soared to 17.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists. His three-point shooting percentage was a terrifying 43.6%. In the end, he was successfully selected as the only All-Star in his career with his advantage in his record. In addition, the inside Z Irgskas and Anderson Valaijo are also very tacitly understanding. In addition to the outside, Deronti West, Daniel Gibson, Wally Szebiak, as well as Joe Smith and Ben Wallace, the Cavaliers have performed the best in team history, winning 39 wins and 2 losses at home, and finally won the first record in team history of 66 wins and 16 losses.
With such outstanding performance, James won the first regular season MVP trophy in his career. In addition, the Lakers also achieved a record of 65 wins and 17 losses this year, ranking first in the West. Therefore, fans are also looking forward to the finals being able to perform the 23VS24 drama. But unfortunately, although the Cavaliers swept the Pistons and the Hawks in the first round and semi-finals of the Eastern Conference this year, they were defeated by the Magic. It has to be said that there are indeed some gaps between the two sides in the Eastern Conference Finals this year. Most of the Cavaliers players are regular season players, and it is difficult to play a role in the playoffs. On the other hand, Magic has built a very good one-star tactical system around "Warcraft" Howard. In addition to Howard's contribution to 25.8 points, 13 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, a total of 7 players averaged more than 7 points per game, including Rashad Lewis and Hidu Tkoglu. On the Cavaliers, James struggled to support it, and averaged 38.5 points, 8.3 rebounds and 8 assists per game, which was not helpful, and was eventually eliminated by his opponent.
2.09-10 season
Team record: 61 wins and 21 losses
Season result: Stopped in the Eastern Conference semi-finals
Although they failed to win the championship in the 2008-09 season, in order to keep James and to strive for the championship again, the team upgraded the team's lineup again in the 2009-10 season. They got Shaquille O'Neal, who was selected into the third lineup the year before, and also introduced Leon Bowie, Anthony Parker, Jamario Moon and other strong players. The most important thing is that before the trade deadline, they almost made a "buy with nothing" method and earned Antoine Jamison from the Wizards. Since then, this Cavaliers with a very strong lineup have finally been formed. James continued to perform well this season, averaging 29.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game, eventually helping the team to achieve a record of 61 wins and 21 losses, successfully defending the regular season MVP. Moreover, the Cavaliers were the only team in the league to win 60 wins this year, so they are once again regarded as the number one favorite to win the championship.
However, this Cavaliers also have some problems, and the most troublesome thing is the aging of the team's lineup, which is a big hidden danger during the playoffs. Sure enough, in addition to easily defeating the Bulls in the first round, they encountered huge trouble when facing the Celtics with rich experience and better running-in in the second round. Although O'Neal is quite effective, he has long lost his dominance when he was young, and averaged only 13.5 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block per game. Although Mo Xiao also contributed 13.3 points, his overall efficiency was quite low, and Jamison, who was highly anticipated, was completely beaten by Kevin Garnett. The teammates were unable to play, and the result was that the Celtics could surround James unscrupulously. Although James averaged 26.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 7.2 assists in this round, he averaged 4.5 turnovers at the time, and his shooting percentage was quite average. In the end, the Celtics seized the opportunity and eliminated the Cavaliers in an upset manner.
3.24-25 season
team record: 64 wins and 18 losses
Season result: Stopped in the Eastern Conference semi-finals
, and the Cavaliers were the season. After the start of the season, they immediately came up with an extremely terrifying state and occupied the first place in the East for a long time. Even though the defending champion Celtics launched a fierce attack on their first throne in the middle and late period of the season, it was useless. In the end, the Cavaliers also achieved the second outstanding record in team history with 64 wins and 18 losses, ending this season. And it has to be said that the new coach Atkinson has indeed made a significant improvement in the team. Although Donovan Mitchell's average data has dropped to 24 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5 assists, it was obvious that his key ball ability has improved, and his performance in the regular season is also easy. Evan Mobley was successfully transformed, averaging a career-high 18.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.6 blocks per game. Not only was he selected as the All-Star for the first time, he also won the DPOY trophy that Xinxininiannian had. Garland also regained its form and returned to the All-Star ranks this season. In addition, the team also gathered strong players such as Jerome, Struce, and Hunter, which shows their strength.
However, although this Cavaliers are regarded as a favorite to win the championship, they also have some shortcomings, that is, they do maintain strong dominance against mid-range teams, but since most of the players in the lineup are stars with relatively mediocre qualifications, in the playoffs, once the score is stalemate occurs, the stars are likely to need to stand up and help the team. What is disappointing is that in the second round of the series against the Pacers, it can be said that no one except Mitchell can help the team move forward. In these five games, except for leaving the game due to injury in the fourth game and finally scored only 12 points, Mitchell scored never below 33 points in the other four games, including 40+ in a row, and today he scored 35 points and 9 rebounds with injuries. But no other teammate can help the team with him, and in the end they can only accept the result of the loss. The problems facing the Cavaliers are very serious now. They must reflect carefully in the summer, otherwise they will still not be able to win the championship in the future.
