WTF was DeAndre Jordan doing?

That was for the win!

T-Wolves sign a new guy ... because he was within a train ride.

I don't really give a shit about the NBA, but imho this was a shitty play. I don't think the intent was to injure, but I think he was trying to cause pain.

No one goes on the floor specifically to dislocate something. Fucker should be suspended for the remainder of the series.

Series is over. The problem is that the offender is now done with his season. His team got swept.

Meanwhile, Love's team has to go a minimum of 2 weeks without him.

That's bullshit.

Then he ought to be out for the first 20 games of next season and fined on top of it.

That was totally dirty pool by Olynyk. The Celtics had nothing to lose and were clearly frustrated with the Cavs having an answer to everything that they threw at them all series long. They resorted to goon tactics and the Cavs got pulled into it. Bringing Perkins off the bench to be an enforcer was fine in my opinion, but when JR Smith threw a backhand later in the game it was too much. He will most likely get suspended for a game or two and he will be needed for a tough series against the Bulls.

Hopefully the Bucks can pull out another win to extend the series another few days so Love can heal up and get back in time. Looks like he'll be out two weeks.

That is so true! HAH

The inevitable series between the Bulls and Cavs will be a rough one. The Cavs and Bulls rivalry (mainly Jokim Noah) goes back quite a ways. But I highly doubt the Bulls wanna get into a physical series against the Cavs. Lebron is a helluva lot more durable than that pencil neck Rose. I have no doubt the big Perk could easily put him out for a few more months.

Love to miss 4-7 games (next series).

Olynyk got suspended a single game. That's fucked. His punishment should be however many games Love misses plus a fine.

Olynyk's 1 game suspension now looks even weaker. The NBA should have waited before ruling on that one.

The funny part is that the Celtics are trying to court Love this off season. How much did this hurt their chances of signing him? They certainly would have to kick Olynyk to the curb before Love would come aboard.

Cavs fans take things too far in their harassment of Kelly Olynyk.

Brutal loss, but on the positive, they didn't get blown out.
