What I THINK happened was Kevin said he felt okay after it got put back in, put on his tough guy face and told everyone that there was no way he was missing the next series, and my associate, let's say (he's not just a friend, long story) got wind of that and jumped the gun.
 
What I am really bummed about this injury is that it took away from Kevin Love and the Big Three the opportunity to build the chemistry and confidence that only a tough playoff run may provide.
 
Personally, I don't think Olynyk meant to hurt him. Did he mean to pull his arm? Sure, but if you look at Olynyk's history the man wouldn't hurt a paper-bag and is ultra-passive-aggressive.

People are so knee-jerk reaction about it labeling it a black and white play that either was a normal play or dirty play. The fact of the matter is it's a grey area. Players lock up arms like that all the time, pull all the time, push all the time. Olynyk happen to get a hold of his arm in an awkward position and pulled too hard.

If you watch Olynyk's history dude has never been known as a dirty player, Love hooked Olynyk's arm right before Olynyk did his.

I agree Olynyk didn't mean to dislocate his arm, but saying Love hooked his arm first is kind of missing the point. If you watch that play, it very easily could be a foul on Olynyk as his arm is over Love's chest from behind and it's under the basket.

Really, debating this is so pointless I'm sick of it. What's done is done. Suspensions have been handed out. Who cares. We're without our star player. I'd rather break down Love's future on this team, and the Bulls series. Rather than who is responsible for what.
 
I think how our franchise handles Kevin at this time will have a lot to do with his future and the franchise.

I think we handle this with class, treat Kevin right....

The feeling is already clearly mutual.

Gilbert's net worth has shot over 5 billion, he'll give Love every dollar available, don't kid yourselves.

There's no story there, a complete media time killer, don't poison your minds.

Given the increased revenue from TV deals, a winning team, merchandise, & casino....I doubt Gilbert has to even consider digging into his own pockets.
 
I'm not sure I blame Olynyk as much as Brad Stevens. Olynyk should be punished, and it was an asshole move, but it was Stevens who told his players to act like thugs because they couldn't compete as players. I'm sick of inferior teams calling for 'physical' play (code word for dirty play) because they have no other chance of being competitive. Especially once he was down 3-0 and he's still getting his players to do this shit? Stevens is getting the whole 'genius coach' thing and getting away scot-free on this, but he should be called out. The league office should have done something, and the Cavs should have called him out earlier in the series too.
 
Do you guys remember Stevens took a time out with less than 2 minutes gone from the 1st quarter? It was a long T.O., too. I remember him saying "the offensive rebounds have to stop. That stops now."

I wonder what else coach said....
 
Honestly the more I think about it, I feel even without love, Cleveland can still easily match up with anyone.. except the Warriors an spurs.. Here's to hoping the clips, Memphis, and rockets( rockets still lightweight scare me) somehow pull it out. Im calling We will make it to the finals..just praying no spurs, and especially the warriors. Would be even more special with the way it all happened. No one expected breaking This damn curse was gonna be easy right?! GO CAVS
 
Ain't nobody got shit on this Cavs team. I dont even give a fuck about the Bulls anymore. I was scared before but not anymore. The Bucks are taking these guys to 6 games. SIX GAMES. The BUCKS. THE GUM ON THE BOTTOM OF MY FUCKING SHOE. @Pyro

Fuck.

Tired of this Old Cleveland defeatist bullshit. Bulls are garbage. Derrick Rose might as well be FUCK. Joakim Noah? Jesus titty fuckin christ this guy is averaging like 7 points per game and is playing bone on bone in his knee. Dude is a joke. Jimmy Butler? Dude blows. The rest of their scrub roster will get destroyed beneath the weight of Kyrie/Bron's nutsacks.

I hate the Bulls. This is the new Finals. I just want to beat the Bulls. Kill them all.
 
Might have to rethink the Rockets being a team I feel "confident" the Cavs could beat without Love.
That would be a tough series..
Josh Smith is really a difference. They are getting 17/6 from him in 25 mins.

I wonder if Amare regrets not coming to Cleveland?

Oh well.

Lets just take care of the Bulls.
