US reporter: Atkinson has been watching videos to analyze the reasons for losing in recent days, and the Cavaliers lineup will not change significantly

May 20th According to a reporter from "Cleveland.com", since the Cavaliers were eliminated in the playoffs, head coach Kenny Atkinson has almost regarded the video analysis room as his "second home".

Earlier, Chris Fedor wrote on his social account: "Source told Cleveland.com that after the Cavaliers experienced another playoff defeat, Atkinson was almost in the video room. He had watched the video of that round of series repeatedly, trying to figure out what went wrong and find an internal solution."

Atkinson won the NBA 2024-25 Best Coach Award this season, and he led the team to a top record in the regular season with a 64-18 record. Entering the playoffs, the Cavaliers swept the Heat in the first round, making the team look like a strong championship contender at one time. But in the semi-finals of the division, the Cavaliers were eliminated by the Pacers 1-4, which was disappointing.

Earlier, Cavaliers General Manager Kobe Altman said at a season summary press conference: "I think we all have the view that no one predicts the Cavaliers will be No. 1 in the Eastern Conference before the season starts. I don't think anyone expects us to win 64 games. It is because we play so well that we have reshape what the outside world expects of us - the finals level. I think everyone here has seen a team that is expected to win, which is a whole new position for us."

"We reshaped our goal and now we have to take on the pressure of this goal. I think this is where we want to be and bring that expectation into next year's playoffs. We know that to change the outside world's view of us, we have to overcome that hurdle."

In addition, Kobe Altman told local reporters that there may not be any major changes in the roster this summer, which means Donovan Mitchell, Mobley, Dalius Garland and Jarrett Allen will once again be Atkinson's core roster.
