5 stars who are likely to pull their hips in the playoffs: The two major stars of the Timberwolves are on the list, and Harden is on the list!

With the end of the regular season, the last suspense of the NBA is now only the eighth in the East and West, and no team in the history of the eighth in the East and West has won the championship, so they will most likely not affect the ownership of the championship. Now there are a total of 14 teams in the East and West that have confirmed the playoffs, and if these teams want to go far in the playoffs, their core must play well enough, but some stars may pull their hips in the playoffs, so let's take a look at the five stars who may pull their hips in the playoffs.

Towns

Downs's softness is well-known in the league, although he led the team to the playoffs in 22 years, but a variety of low-level fouls and mistakes also led to Downs' poor performance in the playoffs, the last game of the regular season this season, facing the Suns, I thought Downs could lead the team to win to fight for the first place in the West, but they lost to the Suns, and Downs's play is very hot, Downs' biggest problem is that the ball quotient is limited, and the game is soft.

Downs has a good offensive ability with the ball and confrontation ability, but even in the face of a small one, he likes to rely on his three points to end the game, which is a complete waste of talent, it can be said that in addition to facing top stars such as Embiid and thick eyebrows, he will not use his body in the face of other players, and he has averaged only 18.6 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 blocks per game in the playoffs so far in his career, and has averaged 3.8 fouls per game.

Goebel

In this season, the Timberwolves can reach the top two in the West, Gobert is the most critical player, he is more important than Edwards, the Timberwolves can win the record this season more rely on their league-first defense, and the team's defense is so good because of Gobert's help, Gobert can support the existence of a defensive system during the regular season, his frame protection ability is too strong, and he has a chance to win the best defensive player award this season.

But the defense that is easy to use in the regular season, may not be practical in the playoffs, in the playoffs, Gobert is the target of the opponent's list, the opponent will seize the problem of his slow pace of various singles, the Jazz has always been a playoff regular under his leadership, but it just can't go far, mainly because of Gobert, Gobert averaged 13.5 points, 11.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game in the playoffs in his career.

Harden

In the past few years, I believe everyone has seen Harden's weakness, in the Rockets Harden's performance in the playoffs is not as good as in the regular season because there are fewer penalties and he doesn't have so many whistles, and then the confrontation in the playoffs is big, and it is impossible for a single-core style of play to go far in the playoffs, so Harden has been very sloppy in the playoffs, and the reason why Harden's performance in the past two seasons has been pulled is because his peak is not there.

Now Harden can't break through the defenders, and there is no whistle, he struggles on the offensive end, especially in the face of high-intensity defense, Harden played very well in the playoffs last season, but this season in the Clippers his state is obviously not as good as last year, and his stability also directly affects the height of the Clippers this season, Harden averaged 20.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game in the playoffs last season, but the shooting rate was only 39%.

Mitchell

Mitchell is also a player produced by the Jazz, he has been very successful as a 13th pick in the draft to reach the current height, after all, he was not considered a lottery draft back then, and the Jazz also regarded him as a core after taking him, Mitchell has never averaged less than 20 points per game in a single season in his career, and he has never missed the playoffs, but Mitchell, like Gobert, is also an overwhelmed master in the playoffs.

He will not be targeted by opponents in the regular season, but in the playoffs, he will be targeted by the opponent point list for a 1.85-meter No. 2 position, after all, such a height and size in the No. 2 position is too disadvantageous, and it is easy to be targeted by opponents, Mitchell in the playoffs because of high-intensity defense is also easy to lead to offensive inefficiency, last season Mitchell averaged 23.2 points, 5 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game in the playoffs, shooting only 43%.

Jaylen Brown

Brown won a 5-year, 304 million contract last offseason, which is also the first salary in history, and he was questioned a lot after he got this contract, after all, Brown's ability does not have such a contract, he is very good in the regular season, but in the playoffs, his ability to hold the ball will be targeted, and there are often mistakes, and the three-point is not accurate enough.

The reason why the Green Army lost to the Heat last season was because Jaylen Brown was emptied from the outside, as a second-in-command, he did not play at the level he should have, and he was still an unstable factor in the playoffs, after all, in terms of this season's regular season, his control was still very poor, and Brown averaged 22.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game in the playoffs last season. Speaking of which, what do you have to say about these five players?
