Tristan Thompson pulled the ole Olynyk on Amir Johnson's shoulder

Everyone grab your pitchforks. Amir Johnson suffered a strained right shoulder in Sunday night's win over the Cavaliers on a somewhat shady move from Tristan Thompson under the hoop:

Amir Johnson has sprained right AC joint in shoulder because of this dirty play. Will @NBA suspend T. Thompson like they did Olynyk in 2015? pic.twitter.com/VWG8m5Yemn

What would Cleveland do? They'd cry about it until the league suspended the player involved on the opposing team at fault for the injury. Obviously us losing Amir vs Cleveland losing Kevin Love a la the way it went down in the 2015 playoffs with Kelly Olynyk at fault isn't quite the same given the skill level of the players in question, but that really should be irrelevant.
