Cavs fans react to Love injury news with hateful tweets toward Olynyk
Some Cleveland Cavaliers fans are taking Wednesday's news that Kevin Love will miss the next four-to-six months better than others.
Love underwent surgery to repair a dislocated left shoulder that came at the hands of Boston Celtics center Kelly Olynyk during Game 4 of Cleveland's sweep of the Celtics. It's a play that Love called "bush league" and one Love believes Olynyk did on purpose, something Olynyk's denied.
Olynyk was hit with a one-game suspension that will take effect to begin the 2015-16 season.
That punishment is nothing compared to the backlash he's receiving from Cavaliers fans. While there are plenty of crude and offensive tweets going Olynyk's way, a small corner of Cavaliers Twitter has taken a more clever, realistic and, frankly, hurtful approach.
@KellyOlynyk I hope that next time you do to Mcdonald's and buy a six piece, they give you five nuggets. Sucka

Honestly hope Kelly Olynyk gets charged double meat prices every time he goes to Chipotle from now on. Karma.

@KellyOlynyk I won't wish any harm on you, but I hope every bite of cereal you take for the rest of your life, you drip milk on your chin.

One fan, in particular, had some creative ways he hopes Olynyk receives his karmic comeuppance:
I HOPE KELLY OLYNYK STEPS ON LEGOS FOR ETERNITY.
