Kelly Olynyk is a name that not many fans of the NBA may have heard recently unless they are Boston Celtics supporters. The long-haired forward is regarded as an energy big who can occasionally knock down the long ball from three-point range.The most notable moment of his NBA career so far was when he pulled Kevin Love’s shoulder out of socket in the first round of the 2015 playoffs. Love was locked in an armbar with his defender when suddenly his arm was pulled into an unnatural position.Cleveland looked on as a member of their Big 3 ran straight past the bench and to the locker room with his arm hanging at his side. The dent in his shoulder told you just about everything you needed to know about the severity of the injury.Last night, Olynyk was engaged in another skirmish with Chicago Bulls big man Robin Lopez under the basket. While a rebound was going up, it looked like he tried the same sort of move on the center while fighting for positioning.Predictably, people on the internet lost their collective minds at the similarities between the two plays. At the time, the young forward apologised to Love for causing the injury and said he meant no harm.This development shows that maybe Boston’s floor-spacing big really isn’t trying to cause any damage, but rather does these sorts of things without thinking about them beforehand. Chicago’s lead at the time doesn’t help his case.

The Celtics find themselves playing a dangerous game heading into Game 3 after going down 0-2 in their first round series. That giant hole might be too large for them to overcome and the scrutiny will build until they respond.

After so much was made of getting home court advantage and the number one seed in the Eastern Conference, now they are struggling to hold on in a series that most thought they were the better team by far.

Boston was a team that was positioned to challenge LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers for the chance to represent the East in the NBA Finals. After two game, all of that looks woefully misguided as all of the top seeds in the conference look beatable.

Moments like this and Marcus Smart’s frustration boiling over will do little to assure fans that everything will be alright in the end when it comes to this team. This is essentially what they asked for when they argued that they belonged in the conversation as a legit contender.

There is still the chance for Boston to come back, but they are quickly running out of time. This would be one of the more impressive comebacks for a franchise that has the longest and most storied histories in the entire sport.
