Of course, he was without the help of Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, who both sat the series out after Irving was injured in Game 1. It starts with James, who was the runner-up in last year’s Finals MVP voting, despite being on the losing team. If the Cavs are going to complete a rather improbable comeback with their backs against the wall, there will be several candidates on Cleveland’s roster to make a push for Finals MVP. No team has successfully pulled the comeback off in 32 tries in the NBA Finals, according to the New York Post‘s Fred Kerber. Only 10 teams have come back from that deficit in the playoffs, including this year’s Warriors team against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals.
