Unless Shaw was being disingenuous, I think it was more like Love got a hit hard, and that made Shaw realize that his star player was in on almost meaningless snaps.

But then why go to the locker room early? He definitely did, my section is right near the tunnel and we all cheered for him as he walked off.

Someone mentioned it in the game thread, and I've seen it when I replayed the recording of the game.  Love took a very sharp hit running into the middle of the line or just off center left and had a head-on collision with one of the defenders.  As he got up and walked away from the pile, he was clearly staggering.  The camera was not really focused on him and it didn't stay on that shot to determine if he sorted it out and shook it off as he walked further to the sideline.
