Sure, but that wasn't simply locking arms. How often are people's shoulder's popped out because of being locked in arms? The dude clearly did more than just lock arms, he grabbed and pulled down.

That happens often too, players lock arms and use force.

This was just a freak outcome.

Love looks a lot skinnier than he used to be, not sure if that had anything to do with the result.

 

[SyenceLabb]

Again, you're missing the fucking point. Love is now out, because of a Celtic's player who pulled down on his arm, it wasn't simply an accident. Unless you think this is an accident,

That was clearly a basketball move. Olynyk was going for the ball using Love as an extension of himself. Accidental.

 

[NervousXtian]

Is this where I quote your tag?

I mean't can't.. but he gave a pretty serious tug there to dislodge it.. I know he wasn't trying to dislodge his shoulder.. but he was trying to get a little extra something in there.. that's not normal tie up shit.

 

[Sanjuro]

WICKED SMAHT!

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Here comes Celtics. Celtics in 7

Here comes Celtics. Celtics in 7

Believe!

Edit:

Phil Pressey's in. The dream is dead.

KO is back baby!

Legolas looking motherfucker

Please, I see that happen numerous times throughout every NBA season.

Exactly You see it if you watch big men down low. The difference here was that they were moving to chase a loose ball and Love was stretching in two directions - there was more force involved.

It pretty much is normal though. Love gave up his arm, and misplayed everything. It should have been a standard foul on Olynyk, nothing more.

Omg Celtics live

 

[LyleLanley]

lol, Pressey.

 

[Sanjuro]

Phil Pressey just won a fucking tip off against LeBron James.

 

[Uno Venova]

Wow the Cavs are dirty.

 

[Silkworm]

Go Celtics! Scrappy do!

Bruh, that was a legitimate arm bar, then he doubled down on it. There was nothing normal about it.


And you're saying "Love gave up his arm" like this is the UFC or some shit.

 

[LyleLanley]

Just imagine if the Celtics could actually make shots.

Actually, you are bringing up the UFC terminology. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make otherwise.

Be up by 25+

 

[LyleLanley]

FUCK YOU PHIL PRESSEY! Why are you taking any shots?

 

[Kacar]

Love had his arm out trying to fend him off and get the ball. Olynyk pulls his arm so that his teammate gets it/it goes out of bounds. He pulled too hard and hurt him.

It was just excessive pulling if anything, didn't they call a foul on him?

 

[MetalFearSolid]

This Celtics lineup is so small. Can't remember seeing a smaller lineup

 

[Sanjuro]

Irving is like a combination of Wade and Ray Ray. Scary.

 

[Into]

Oh yeah Spurs vs Clips coming up soon, a real basketball game!

 

[alr1ght]

At least we can all agree to dislike Blake Griffin.

 

[SyenceLabb]

Actually, you are bringing up the UFC terminology. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make otherwise.

You said Love gave up his arm. When is that term used in the NBA? What's normal is when arms lock up during a fight for a rebound. this wasn't simply two arms interlocking.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

lol, Pressey.

If I was the coach, I would fine him every time he shoots the ball.

 

[LyleLanley]

Ainge should be fined for every game he's on the active roster.

...when we are talking about a loose ball foul.

Love could have went after the ball. He gave his arm up to make direct contact with Olynyk to keep him away from the ball. Kelly's only move at that point is to lock up Kevin and keep him away from the ball. That's standard. What wasn't standard is the impact resulting from Love trying to do two things at once.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

Irving is like a combination of Wade and Ray Ray. Scary.

Definitely improved his 3pt %

Spoiler

the Lebron effect

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Why didn't Isiah do a reverse layup?

 

[LyleLanley]

"The @TheRock is apparently a #Celtics fan - at least for today. Appeared to yell "Let's go Boston!" while shown on Jumbotron during last TO." -@Scott_Souza

The Rock seems like a good dude.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Irving just come on

 

[alr1ght]

Rock loves those cheap pops.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Why didn't Isiah do a reverse layup?

He's so short he couldn't see the basket up there.

Fuck him.

Fuck John Cena from West Newbury, Massachusetts too.

What Love did was normal; players use an off arm to keep an opposing player at bay all the time to grab a rebound. My only argument is that what Olynyk did wasn't a normal basketball play. I'm not saying he meant to rip his shoulder out of the socket but he sure did apply a good arm bar.

I don't watch UFC, sorry.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Welp it was fun tease Cs.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Someone please put a moratorium on the Olynyk play.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I don't watch UFC, sorry.

The one guy is acting like the Celtics dude(know him, hate spelling his last name) did this to Love:

Hoping for more Kawhi dominance today. Lets do this!

 

[Lee Chaolan]

lol people all over Realgm saying losing Love helps the cavs.

They seem like smart individuals... yes that's sarcasm.

As dumb as Blatt's usage of Love on the court.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

LeBron with the Dagger in Boston's heart.

 

[LyleLanley]

GIGI!

 

[Lee Chaolan]

They seem like smart individuals... yes that's sarcasm.

Even hurt, the shitting on Love continues.

Hoping it's just a strain, or popped in easy.

 

[alr1ght]

Cavs should just lose this one so JR can serve his suspension.
