Who would have thought that out of Bledsoe, Knight, Dragic and IT, that IT would be the one in the playoffs.

^^^ No kidding.
Amazing how they let IT go. Dude is a bonafide scorer, huge offense off the bench.

I'm watching this Cavs-Celtics game and while IT is scoring a lot, Kyrie is absolutely torching him. 20 pts in the 1st half on 8-12 shooting.

Kyrie is just pulling up right over IT and there's nothing IT can do about it due to the height difference. IT is right at Kyrie's hips at the 3pt line and yet Kyrie doesn't even know there's someone standing in front of him and just calmly knocks down the 3s.

Stevens is a smart man though, I expect him to adjust and put someone else on Kyrie when IT subs in.

Kevin Love dislocated his shoulder on a really dirty play by Kelly Olynyk. You guys should look up this replay, he gets Love's arm in a hold, and ripped it around so hard that its really hard not to think he was trying to cause an injury.

Real garbage. He should face a suspension at the start of next season.

that sucks... no third option is going to seriously hurt Cleveland.

so many injuries this year to stars. takes a little sting out of the playoffs.

Also, JR Smith decided to remind everyone that he is one of the true pieces of crap in the NBA. He landed a really slick looking spinning punch to Crowder's face. Got himself ejected.

I hope the Commish throws the book at JR Smith and suspends him a minimum of ten games.

It was a dirty play by Olynyck. He hooked his arm and twisted. If you wanted to dislocate a shoulder, that is the way to do it. It should be a multiple game suspension--but the NBA wont. I just know it.

IT messing with LeBron's inbound pass and getting away with it smacks of pro-wrestling. He thought it was funny, but it makes a mockery of the game. I am not impressed.

Olynyck suspended 1 game
JR Smith suspended 2 games
Bleh disagree with the Smith suspension but what's done is done.

Both of those should be considerably longer.

If you're suspending Olynyk then you're saying its intentional, and 1 game for deliberately ripping a dude's shoulder out of socket (and seriously diminishing his team's title hopes) is a joke.

And Smith is a repeat offender, I can't believe he only got 2 games. That punch was vicious.

I didn't see JR's punch but I thought Olynyck deserved a serious suspension for his teke-down of Love - it was a nasty piece of work and it looked intentional to me.

Agree. Frustration of the moment, but intentional.

Locking arms is common in the nba. Love just relaxed when he shouldn't have.

That went beyond locking arms and the ball had bounced away. He appeared to deliberately get leverage on Love's arm and then yank it in a way that its not made to go. Looked more like grappling move taught in self defense than an NBA play.

Kevin Love is now out 2-4 months after having surgery.

Tough, tough break for him & the Cavs.
