Kevin Love calls Kelly Olynyk play bush-league

If Kevin Love is ever to become a member of the Boston Celtics, it's obvious that Kelly Olynyk won't be the first person he goes out for drinks with.

Love dislocated his shoulder during Game 4 of the Cavs sweep of the Celtics, after he and Olynyk scrambled for a loose ball in the first quarter.

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

In his two seasons in Boston, Olynyk has never been accused of being a dirty player. His spaghetti arms and Shaggy from Scooby-Doo facial hair don't really bring fear to the opponent.

Fans can form their own opinions regarding the scrum with Love. I, for one, do not think it was intentional. Love needs to relax, and wipe his tears away.

If the Olynyk wanted to hurt anyone on purpose, his first and last target should have been Timofey Mozgov, who destroyed the Celts all series.

Brad Stevens and Olynyk's teammates came to his defense after their season ended:

Brad Stevens does not believe there was any intent to injure by Kelly Olynyk. He says, "That’s not really in Kelly’s personality."

#Celtics Evan Turner: Kelly Olynyk wasn't being malicious. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He just can't box out to save his life.

Turner even joked about Olynyk's lack of boxing-out skills:

Said Turner: "Kelly can’t box out to save his life. No joke. He boxes our teammates out like all the time in practice."

Celtics' guard Isaiah Thomas wants Love to stop his crying:

Thomas responds to Love: "We can say the same thing. We’re all men here. We don’t need to cry ... It is what it is. It’s playoff basketball"

Cavs' coach David Blatt thinks it isn't in Olynyk's nature to make a bush-league play:

Blatt on Love injury: “I hope it wasn’t a play on purpose. I don’t think it’s in the character of Olynyk to do that. I hope not."
— Ben Rohrbach (@brohrbach) April 26, 2015

No word from Blatt on this classy play by Kendrick Perkins:



Last but not least, of course LeBron James has to pipe in about the Love/Olynyk play:

LeBron: Olynyk on Love "didn't look like a basketball play."

Let's hope the Cavs recover from the Love injury. We are all praying that LeBron, and his 65-year old man hairline, can bring a title to the sports-rich history of Cleveland. They deserve it.

Just kidding...

Let's go Bulls!
