re: Kevin Love out for conf semis

Kelly Olynyk did acknowledge his intent was not to hurt Kevin Love. I'm just going to hope that this is the case.

However, Olynyk also says that love "clamped [him}" so "[Olynyk] clamped him back." I saw no such thing. The video shows Love using his arm as a shield to get better position to grab the loose ball. Olynyk "counters" by grabbing ahold of Love's left arm with both of hands and yanking it.

It seems that Olynyk purposely yanked Love's arm without the intent of actually injuring him. He did, though, and deserves some type of punishment for it.

ETA: though Olynyk acknowledged that he did not intend on hurting Love, it didn't sound like, from Chris Fedor's article, that he exactly denied purposely yanking Love's arm, either. I think the video lays credence to the fact that the act was cheap and uncalled for.

With LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, Cleveland still has a chance to knock off Chicago, but Olynyk really hindered some of those odds with a cheap play.
