Here's the video of the Oubre-Olynyk incident if you haven't seen it or want to watch again: http://www.nba.com/video/2017/05/06/wizards/celtics-game-3…

A couple of thoughts. First, I'm glad they called that an illegal screen on Olynyk.

Second, Oubre was luckly to be suspended only one game because the official was protecting Olynyk after the foul. Oubre ran into the official as well as Olynyk.

Stephen Curry needs 1 3-pointer to pass Chauncey Billups (8th) on all-time list of playoff treys. Curry needs 10 to pass Paul Pierce (7th).

Kelly Olynyk: 'I don't think I'm a dirty player' following Kelly Oubre Jr suspension

Celtics' Olynyk defends his style of play ahead of Game 4 at Wizards on Sunday
Boston Celtics' Kelly Olynyk delivering a high screen on Kelly Oubre Jr of the Washington Wizards has been a major focus of attention the last few days. Oubre was suspended one game for sprinting down the court and shoving Olynyk to the ground after the screen. Some say Oubre should have kept his cool while others say the shove was deserved, because the screen was dirty.

This is not the first time Olynyk has gained attention for the way he plays. After pulling Kevin Love's arm out of his socket in a playoff series two years ago, there's a growing reputation for Olynyk as a dirty player. Olynyk denies this claiming he's not a dirty player. He also played down Oubre being suspended as being all in the past.

LOL, someone needs to check their math skills. You can't get a decimal approximation of .59 or .18 by dividing an integer by 4, 5, 6, or 7.
