Eastern Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

BTW, someone from the Clipps, Rick Fox and Malik Rose all said it wasn't on purpose...talking from their experiences.

@MalikRose
Not arguing that. It definitely should have been a foul. I'm arguing that Olynyk did not INTEND to hurt Love

His intent wasn't to get the ball. It was to NOT let Love get it.

And great rebounders like Kevin Love do it 15 times a game.

This is what you fail to realize... It HAS happened to me. REPEATEDLY. Never snapped or dislocates but HURTS LIKE

More yanking twisting gripping and holding going on than what you see. Speaking from experience sir.

Absolutely intentional and absolutely should have been a foul. Did he mean to pull his arm out of socket? HELL NO!

You non players will never get it. Has nothing to do with me condoning it. I accept it as PART OF THE NBA. It was

@marcelluswiley
I totally agree with @kevinlove that @KellyOlynyk did it on purpose. I played in the trenches, trust me! Look at Kelly's left hand. #dirty ��

@RickFox
Nah @marcelluswiley that's our version of "in the trenches"

One Clippers player who saw the replay and discussed it with the team's medical and coaching staff told me Sunday night he had a hard time making the leap that Olynyk wrenched Love's arm purposefully. "Guys get tangled up going for rebounds and loose balls all the time," the player said. "I don't think he tried to hurt him. I think he just grabbed on, trying to stop Kevin from getting to the ball. I feel awful for Kevin, but I don't think it was done on purpose."

Did anyone besides Love think it was on purpose?

They better ask the Nashville Predators about that course of action lol. I have this feeling though that barring injury, Derrick is about to go nuclear tonight and the Bulls are going to take care of business. Either way, you guys got a lot to look forward to in the future. Hoping Jabari is right and doesn't go through what we had to the last three years. Good series one way other the other.

Oh yeah, I expect the series to end tonight. I even think you predicted 4 to 1.

Go take LeBron and Co. and then take care of business out west.

Make a run, I like that team.

It was a great series and hoping it's a good sign for the future with these teams. The playoffs have been much better vs the last several years.

Haha we invade Miller like crazy. It's worse there now by far.

As King said, I'm pretty sure this series is over. But man, I'm looking forward to this rivalry if it develops as it should.

I wish you guys weren't so close in proximity. I really want to root for Giannis and his development. Really think he's going to be a Top 5-10 guy in this league for a long time.

There's a member here that might as well be Kevin Love.

Per Twitter, Love ruled out for the Semis. Tough break for Cleveland but counting them out would be foolish because they still have the best player in the world and Kyrie.

We're they waiting on this before sentencing JR Smith?

I get it ...LeBron needs more help

Pssh **** that. I'm glad they are. I don't mind if I'm bored on the weekend grabbing a couple buddies and driving over to Milwaukee and catching a game for cheap with guys like Giannis and Parker there.

Nah they got Perkins remember? I think we all agree that put the Cavs over the edge

@GwashburnGlobe: CLE's Smith suspended 2 gms, BOS's Olynyk suspended 1 gm & CLE's Perkins fined $15K for roles in separate incidents during game on April 26

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

2 games though really? 3 should have been the minimum.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

Thought 2 games would be too much if Olynk only got one. We could still beat CHI in a series, but now we need LBJ to the LBJ that carried teams on his back and we need one of Jones or Miller to be able to hit some 3s next series.
