The Cleveland Cavaliers' NBA Finals defeat at the hands of the Golden State Warriors was inseparable from the stars missing from the starting lineup. With Kevin Love out since the end of the first round, Game 1's late injury to an already hobbled Kyrie Irving gave the Cavs few options and required they receive a superhuman performance from LeBron James to stay competitive. While it's likely that the Warriors would have won the series anyway, the Cavs were forced into compromise as soon as Irving suffered the fractured left knee cap that ended his season.
