Kevin Love suffers shoulder injury

Nah Crowder pushed Kyrie on the other end going for a loose ball right before this happened.

 

I'm definitely not a Cavs fan. But this is clearly a dirty play. Hate to see something like this happen to (key) player. That punk Olynyk should be suspended.

 

That armlock thing happens on so many rebound attempts

 

JR Smith clearly just threw a punch there

 

Lol this hockey game is awesome

 

Damn. JR Smith threw that punch/slap not knowing that Crowder was in the process of a serious leg injury. Pretty dumb reason to be ejected.

 

Everything was fine until he pulled the arm. People push in the back for a rebound, and are holding and swimming to get the ball. But pulling the arm specifically? That is not a basketball move. Never seen anybody do that.

Edit: watching it again many times; nah, that was incidental. Arm locks happen often; it was just an awkward positioning of bodies.

 

After they got tangled, you can see Olynyk flex both arms. It's arguable that Olynyk was bracing or trying to balance himself, but if I had to argue intentionally trying to hurt Love vs. innocence, I'd say it's 75-25.

 

If Love has to miss any time, more parallels to Heat days for LeBron. Similar to when they lost Bosh for a stretch of that playoff run and had to beat a tough Pacers team without him. Can they beat the Bulls without Love?

 

Yes. They do still have LeBron (and Kyrie).

I don't get this notion that the Bulls are the best, far and away team in the East *when healthy*. (Chuck)

I see the Cavs winning that in 5, at worst 6.

 

this isnt as bad as jr smith straight knocking crowder out imo

 

that was a dirty play. that guy needs to be disqualified for season and next 20 games.

probably wasn't intentional, I've seen more fierce arm tangles, but I guess he shouldnt have isolated his arm and tugged on it, but then again I don't think that move would've dislocate someone's shoulder most of the time.

happened really fast, didn't seem like he really put his THAT much force on it.

either way sucks for Cavs

 

Breh, spoiler things like this in the future!

Both for graphic content and language.

 

Didn't look dirty to me

looked like 2 guys got tangled up fighting for a rebound

 

Dirty play by Olynk IMO. But maybe if Love put some muscle on he wouldn't be so weak.

 

Bulls were 8-1 on some sites earlier today to win the East.

I think a lot of sites pulled down the future odds. 8-1 right now looks sensational.

If Love can't play and JR is suspended, Bulls might be the favorites to win next round.
