It's dirty if Kelly's intent right there is to injure Love. There is most definitely an argument to be made Olynyk is trying to grab Loves arm to both hold him back from the ball and use it to launch himself forward. It's a dangerous play sure, but to call it dirty insinuates Oylnkys prime motavation is to cause injury.


I asked for some evidence to back up Kelly being a dirty player which seemed to be the consensus amoungst the first couple replies. If after four years, one boarder line play is the first and only thing that comes to mind, the bar for labeling dirty players is pretty low.

I don't really agree with that.

If you're doing something you know is potentially dangerous to a player and you know it's against the rules, you could argue it and say he still did it to get to the ball before Love, not to injure Love. It still makes him a dirty player either way. Obviously the intent to injure is much worse, but you're still a dirty player if you're doing things that can hurt others, even if your motive is just to win, do better, get that loose ball whatever.

This is some grade-A bull shite only Kelly's relatives would type out. Give me a freaking break with this.

Oh come off it! If you had ever watched the NBA, namely the Celtics, you would know he is a douche, dirty player, little bitch, etc...
