After losing to the Nets in the first round of the playoffs and having no access to the playoffs, the Cavaliers, which were once regarded as the "dark horses of the East" this season, can seize the last chance to get playoff tickets in the next playoff second round against the Hawks, which can be said to have attracted the attention of many fans and the media!
Just one night, the Cavaliers had a great news on the eve of their battle with the Hawks, which may also directly change the situation in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
According to the US media The Athletic reporter Shams Charania, Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen, who has missed many games due to injury, has made a new progress in ushering in a comeback and will try to comeback in the playoff against the Eagles!
Of course, the reality is that the fact that Allen will usher in a comeback in the playoffs is not empty.
After all, according to previous reports, Allen has long been actively engaged in recovery training, and he himself is optimistic that there is a 50% chance of being able to play.
At the same time, Cavaliers coach Bixtaff, in an interview with the media, also said: Allen participated in the whole training, play-offs against the Hawks may not play.
According to the cleveland honest man reporter Chris Fedor, the source revealed that in order to be able to make a comeback in the playoff game against the Eagles, Allen has done everything possible, just to be able to return to represent the Cavaliers!
Although from the current situation, Allen's appearance status is still doubted by the Cavaliers queue, but all indications seem to indicate that Aaron's comeback may only be a matter of time.
Playing for the Cavaliers this season, Allen can be said to have played a phenomenal average performance per game, and throughout the regular season, Allen played a total of 56 games for the Cavaliers, and the season attendance was quite impressive.
And in the case of averaging 32 minutes per game, Allen can average 16.1 points, 10.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 blocks per game, and has been selected for the All-Star team, which is a well-deserved inner pillar of the Cavaliers!
Now with the good news coming back from the inside tower Allen, it has to be said that the play-off life and death battle between the Cavaliers and the Eagles is also full of highlights.
From the point of view of the paper lineup, if Allen ushers in a comeback in the playoffs, then the Cavaliers will have a good advantage in terms of height and body shape, such as Aaron + Mobley + Malkanen + Lefour, which can also give the Cavaliers a good advantage in height and body shape.
Coupled with Garland + Le Vere on the defensive line, and veteran Rondo with both experience and strength, this strong Cavaliers team, in terms of lineup strength and depth, obviously can not be underestimated!
On the other hand, the Eagles, facing a life-and-death battle in the play-offs, in addition to John Collins has been confirmed to be absent, the state of the team's main player Bogdanovic is also not optimistic.
According to the eagles' official announcement, Bogdanovic has been on the team watch list due to a sprained left ankle, and it is still unknown whether the play-offs can face the Cavaliers!
And this season to play for the Hawks, Pogdanovic's performance we have seen for all to see, throughout the regular season, Pogdanovic can contribute 15.1 points, 4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 steals, as well as 36.8% three-point shooting rate of outstanding performance, is the Eagles rotation of the absolute main force.
Obviously, for the Eagles, who are in the process of employment, facing a key battle of either promotion or homecoming, in the case of Pogdanovic's doubts, as the team's home star, Trae Young + Capela will undoubtedly usher in a huge challenge and test!
Rationally speaking, for the Cavaliers, with the high probability of Aaron's comeback, the Hawks' main player Pogdanovic is in doubt, and the key battle is the Cavaliers, which has home advantage, which can be described as a double happiness, occupying the time and place!
As for which team in the Playoffs between the Cavaliers and the Eagles can withstand the pressure and get the last ticket to the playoffs, we obviously have to wait and see!
