I think Olynyk intentionally made a non basketball play to keep Love from getting to the ball. And therefore, he is responsible for his actions and the play was "dirty"
However, I just don't believe he rushed in with the "intent" to injure. Now his non basketball play and negligence makes him responsible for the injury, but I just don't believe that he had the intent to injure, even if he knew what he was doing was wrong.
And none of this is a defense of Olynyk at all, but I suspect it will be treated as such and I understand the dynamic as to why.
