Any time the cavs get a rebound, apparently they got away with pushing somebody in the back. Hubie has been nothing but obnoxious. Can't believe I rather listen to Van Gundy than this bullshit.

I loved the spinning back fist by JR. Selfish? Sure, but it was nice to see some fire out of the team.

Completely selfish and idiotic play.

I would be surprised if he only gets 1 game.

It's not like he turned around and slugged him. He caught him with a backhand after getting jacked in the back two times.

I definitely agree with that. Like I said definitely selfish, would've preferred it to be handled another way, one that wouldn't have resulted in a suspension, but the NBA set this in motion with the terrible officiating this entire series, not just today. You could tell eventually something was gonna happen. Like I said, loved the fire....hated the result.

3 games in the playoffs for that? No fucking way.

I would bet it's only one game, and here's why. 1) It's the playoffs. The NBA will want to send a message without dictating the likely outcome of a series (without Love and JR for two games). 2) Yes, he threw a fist. But it wasn't "aimed." He wasn't looking at Crowder throwing a haymaker. He threw his arm behind him, and while it was high, he obviously wasn't looking where he was swinging (even if he knew he was swinging high). 3) The NBA would love a Cavs/Warriors NBA final. While the Bulls are by no means an easy task, the NBA would make a ton of money on a series between the two star-studded teams.

Just my two cents. Maybe it's hopeful thinking.

Love stated in post game that he plans on playing game 1.

So either he's optimistic, or not as bad as we all thought.

Also, called Olynk a dirty player, and that the move was bush league. Stated the NBA better look at it, and punishment to be Just.

Well pretty much all media, and anyone associated with the NBA said its was a basketball play, totally disregarding this picture.

I'm glad Kevin spoke his mind instead of giving some politically correct garbage. Not a doubt in my mind it was intentional. He torqued down with both arms holding onto him.

That long haired hippie took a play out of the Ronda Rousey playbook with taking Love out of the game.

So if the Bulls win tomorrow he would miss about 3 games of the series. Let's go Bucks

at minimum. But im seeing so many variables I don't put much stock in any reports i'm seeing right now. Its his non shooting shoulder and the playoffs. So I could see him pushing through it and just getting surgery in the offseason. He said his goal is to play in game 1.Then people are throwing out that Shumpert was out for 6 weeks, but it was the regular season and he was playing for a joke of a team. So many variables. Hopefully he is back sooner rather than later. I don't have much experience with the injury. Can't wait for an official announcement so this speculation can be ended.

Can't trust Windy, especially when I take a look at our team and his history.

1.) Kyrie won't be resigning in Cleveland.
2.) LBJ isn't coming back
3.) Kyrie and LBJ don't get along

etc.

Let's just pray that the Bucks can win a couple more games and give us some time to heal. I love that Brad Stevens said he just thought it was a physical game and that none of the infractions were retaliatory in nature. Hopefully, the league hears that when assessing JR's discipline.

JR pisses me off. He really stepped it up the past 2 games and if Love is out we definitely need him to stretch the floor. Shumpert just isnt the same threat, even though I think he played his best game since becoming a Cav today. Great all around game for him.

My guess is that Love will not be back until the finals. A dislocated shoulder can re-pop at any time. Won't need him against the Bulls, but will make it tough to advance past Atlanta. I agree that JR will only get one game. That back handed swing was just a reaction, nothing with bad intent. Don't care that Perkins is on our team, he's a royal POS. He's the one that should get a 3 game suspension. That play did make me LOL tho.
