The starting point guard is in a mess, why don’t the Cavaliers give the substitute point guard more opportunities to perform?

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Indiana Pacers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers who played at home 114-105. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of this round of series to 4-1, successfully advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years; while the Cavaliers, who ranked first in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, unexpectedly failed to defeat this round of series and defeated their opponents.

Although the Cavaliers lost the game, the team's substitute point guard Ty Jerome's performance was not bad. Jerome played 11 minutes in the game, made 3 of 5 shots and 2 of 3 from outside the three-point line, scored 8 points, 2 assists and 1 steal, and had 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +1. Jerome has demonstrated comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. With his playing time and few shots, he also got a certain score. Jerome actually has certain characteristics in passing and organizing. Relatively speaking, Jerome's effect on the court is not particularly bad, but the performance of the team's starters is generally too bad, and Jerome's efforts cannot achieve a good effect. On the other hand, with the team's starting point guard Darius Garland having no touch, the Cavaliers did not choose to give Jerome more opportunities, which was even more helpless.

In the NBA regular season this season, Jerome made a total of 70 appearances in 82 games, averaging 19.9 minutes per game, averaging 12.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals, and 1.3 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. He shot 51.6%, three-point shooting percentage 43.9%, and free throw shooting percentage 87.2%. In the playoffs, Jerome averaged 21.2 minutes in the first nine games, with averaging 11.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. He shot 40.2%, three-point shooting percentage 38.9%, and 85% free throw shooting percentage. Although Jerome's overall performance is not outstanding, he can still take on the tasks he should undertake in some games, and he can also achieve certain results on the court. It is undeniable that Jerome's performance in this round of the series is not particularly ideal, but at least he is still a player with outstanding personal abilities. For the Cavaliers, at least their tactical arrangements in this game are a big problem. Since Garland's condition has been so bad, in this case they don't give Jerome enough playing time, that's an even more outrageous choice. It is obvious that one road cannot be done and you have to go to the end. Isn’t this obviously causing trouble for the team?
