    It doesn't look intentional. Both were wrestling. Love was trying to shield the ball but Kelly O countered by trying to push Love's forearm away to get to the ball.

    That was a dirty play, not unlike 100s of dirty plays I've seen before on NBA games, just like the Scola incident! Unfortunately Love got injured THIS time. Hope he recovers quickly and doesn't have any lingering affects.

    If that's a dirty play, that most people who guarded Dwight this season should be getting a life sentence.

    Obviously dirty. Fighting for a rebound doesn't involve jiu jitsu arm locks and yanking as hard as you can.

    Love had the ball that's why he didn't support himself with his right arm to save his left arm and shoulder.

    Doesn't strike me as a dirty play, but who knows.

    Do you realize how beta you sound when you make this statement?

    Save the alpha beta crap for bodybuilding.com

    His arm got isolated and got yanked on pretty hard. I think my statement was accurate. Players sometimes trap or hold an arm during a tangle for rebounds but not like that.

    exactly...this is different than normal tie-ups. As Lebron said after the game, "i've seen tangle ups, this is different."

    The arm was held by one hand at the wrist, pulled and then the other arm was over Love's arm and pushed down at the shoulder. That maneuver is pretty much the way they teach you how to easily separate a shoulder or break an arm.
