After a historically good regular season, the 2015 NBA Playoffs have been a letdown with just about every contender suffering key injuries. No contender has been hit harder than the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kevin Love hasn’t played since the first round and Kyrie Irving underwent season-ending surgery on his fractured kneecap Saturday morning.
The Houston Rockets, Portland Trailblazers, Los Angeles Clippers, San Antonio Spurs, Atlanta Hawks, Chicago Bulls, and Washington Wizards were are hit with injuries. But ask any Thunder fan and they will tell you that those injuries aren’t what hurt the playoffs as much as the absence of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
