In all honesty, the white dude with long hair was wrong - but Kevin Love needs to be stronger than that.

You think this would have happened with Lebron? He would have muscled his way through that arm hold, and got rigt back to boxing out. I know, because I've seen it before.

With all due respect to K Love, I'll be pretty pissed off at him if he misses anymore than 2 games. Need surgery? Well hold off on that until the season is over. You need to muscle through this.

Isaiah Thomas played with a broken ankle for 30+ min in a game in which he dominated. He left 0 excuses out there and went hard. These are where NBA stars are born. Right there out on the playoff hardwood. He needs to get his arm straightened out, get a little conditioning in and wrap that damn arm up and head back out there by game 2. I don't wanna hear any excuses.

You've clearly never had a dislocated shoulder.

You can be the toughest guy on the planet, have all the intention to go out and compete... but the first time you swing your arm and it flops out of the socket again you are immediately going to be rendered useless.

It isn't something you just "muscle through". If it's bad.

Man we need some MRI results and a suspension verdict ASAP.

for real. its like tearing some knee ligaments and wondering why you cant just "muscle through" and make it move properly..physically impossible regardless of being able to ignore blinding pain
 
Heres the problem I have with the play. Most times when a player holds an opponent to impead him from rebounding the ball, both players are relatively stationary. The arm of the opponent is grabbed and his motion is impeaded by using your upper body strength to hold the arm.

That is not what happened here. Both players are moving, and Olynyk clearly uses his momentum and body weight to apply a much much much (one more 'much' to illustrate my point) greater tension force on Loves joint than would be possible if he was just using his upper body strength.

Athletes like this should know better. Putting body weight behind an action makes the applied force orders of magnitude greater.
 
I'm going to call this now before anything gets posted. This will be more than just a dislocation. The way Olynyk bent Love's arm and put his weight on it, I'm thinking it'll be a glenoid labrum tear as well. In other words, he'll probably need surgery and won't be ready to get back to playing basketball until training camp.

I joked about it earlier, but what is the leagues HGH testing policy?

I'm pretty sure they don't have one right now, so hopefully they load him up.

Do braces help with this? Or are they just to help it from popping out again after it's been mostly healed?

Can't believe Simmons, the Celtics homer, let this get published:

"Clearly, Olynyk meant to lock up Love’s arm, and certainly the move was of the dirty variety. Whether he actually meant Love any harm is a matter for telepaths."

Wouldn't have expected anything less from him.

All depends on what kind of damage was done really. A brace isn't something he would wear while playing anyway. Even if he didn't tear anything, stuff got stretched out. It's gonna be sore for awhile and only time is gonna allow everything to heal and tighten up.

As for your q, Huber, Love needs to just pony up for the designer stuff that eludes the drug tests. LBJ needs to help his teammate 'fit I'm by hooking him up.

And that's why you need veterans like Perkins on your team.
They get you straight to stage 4 in about 30 seconds or so...;)
 
We have to be careful and think about the long term here as well, as painful as it might be. If we rush Love back and he has some type of set back that lingers long term or becomes a recurring issue, not worth it. Also he was getting hammered in the paint when he was healthy, can only imagine how it will be now.
