Love says KO play was "bush-league" and "on purpose"

[jpotter33]

Love: "I thought it was a bush-league play. I have no doubt in my mind that he did it on purpose."

What?! You think he tried injuring you on that play? KO, you know the guy who is as soft as tissue paper, is being too physical out there for you Love?

This probably ruins any small chance he had at coming here, but if KO is too "rough" for Love, then perhaps we don't want him here anyways lol Even Jeff Van Gundy was making fun of that claim lol

They were both arm locking each other that entire sequence.  Let's not preteen that Kevin was totally innocent here. He was being just as aggressive and, unfortunately, ended up getting himself hurt in the process.

Exactly. How do you try and dislocate someone's shoulder on purpose anyways?

During the Spurs game, Van Gundy was saying, "Who does Love think Olynyk is, Ronda Rousey? It's not like he had him in an armbar there." I found it humorous.

Yeah...the league has to do something about Kelly "the goon" Olynyk.

exactly.........everybody is so scared him. oh noz!!!!!!

It was a dirty play. Kelly saw AB in position to grab the ball so he grab Loves arm to prevent him from getting there first. No intention of injury, but nonetheless a dirty play.

Yeah, ruins whatever chance we had of getting him here, but that's just gold. Haha, yeah, KO is so much of a Billy Bad A@$ that he dislocated your shoulder on purpose, what a thug. Hahaha

JR Smith and Perkins fouls were egregious, dirty plays. Him and Olynyk got tied up for a rebound. Things happen. Don't even want a guy who cries over that play.

It did cross my mind that that could have been intentional, but I'm giving Kelly the benefit of the doubt.

It might have been intentional to grab the arm to try and stop him from getting the rebound, but I don't see how that's any different than any other normal foul in the game. There's a big difference between normal fouls (KO) and dirty fouls (Perkins and Smith).

I don't think he meant to injure him, but it definitely wasn't a basketball play. If it was the other way around, you guys would be calling for Kevin's head. I'd compare it to the DWade/Rondo pull down.

[greg683x]

you guys are hilarious.  If that was dewayne wade and not KO, you guys would all have your torches and pitchforks out.

he didnt intend to injury him, but it was still a pretty cheap play. 

all that aside, still a non story to me.

[Forza Juventus]

I hope Olynyk didn't go it on purpose.

[Donoghus]

It was an aggressive play, I'll give Love that. However, he was right in the middle of it and had KO locked up literally seconds before KO got him with the arm bar.  I don't think KO was intentionally trying to hurt him. Both guy were probably just being too over aggressive and Love got hurt by it.

[Celtics18]

Whether or not it was a dirty play, Kevin Love is the king of the arm-lock rebound.  It's his bread and butter.  I do feel bad for him, but Karma is a you-know-what.
