It's no secret that the Cavaliers enter the Eastern Finals a bit short-handed.
Love is out until next season. Irving is dealing with foot and knee issues. Iman Shumpert (groin), Thompson (shoulder) and LeBron James (ankle) are banged up as well. Even the Bulls were a model of health and stability when compared to the Cavs.
Atlanta has some minor injuries with DeMarre Carroll (hip pointer) and Horford (finger), but nothing considered too serious.
With some of Cleveland's main guys out or not at 100 percent, this is prime time for role players to step up.
We've already witnessed what Thompson brings to the table with his rebounding and hustle. Much like the Eastern Semifinals, Cleveland will need its deep backcourt to shine through as well.
Shumpert and Smith have been huge additions since their trade from the . While Smith served as the Cavs' starter at shooting guard during the regular season, Shumpert has since taken over those duties now in the playoffs.
Both have been brilliant.
The duo is combining for 21.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, 4.1 three-pointers and 2.6 steals. Cleveland is 18.5 points better with Smith in the game and 7.1 points improved with Shumpert.
Deeper into the roster sit unlikely heroes like Matthew Dellavedova and James Jones. Both stepped up against Chicago, with Jones going for 17 points (5-of-9 from three) in a Game 2 win and Dellavedova leading the Cavs in scoring (19 points) during their series-clinching Game 6 victory.
While players like James and Irving will lead the charge, role players must continue their strong play for Cleveland to advance past the Hawks.相关的主题文章：
