Westbrook on court argument/ off court blow up

[NYCkid12]

during the game Westbrook Got called for 5 seconds and then started to yell at Sefolosha .. After a time out he was taken out of the game and was seen fuming on the bench slamming the chair and pouting and then eventually left the bench for a while and went into the locker room

K? Basketball can be extremely frustrating especially for someone like Russ. Maybe his teammates should have realized that he was already frustrated and thought twice before calling him out or giving him **** for it. He obviously left to the locker room because he realized that he was pissed off and didn't want to **** so he left before anything happened.

Hmm... didn't see it. It's hard to know what's going on without the full story, but going to the locker room seems more than a little odd. Westbrook is one of those guys that is such a talented player, and such a hard worker, but I'm inclined to think that his attitude will hold him back from being as great as he has the potential to be.

[PleaseBeNice]

not a big deal

I don't know the whole story but it definitely seems like an overreaction for a turnover, especially since OKC was up 18

He left to go change his diapers.

[ThunderousDemon]

It looked like he was about to throw up.

lol

He appeared to carry on the conversation with the Thunder’s bench at the beginning of the ensuing defensive possession before badly missing a wild runner on Oklahoma City’s next offensive possession and, later, allowing Bayless to leak out behind him for a dunk after a Kevin Durant turnover. At that point, Thunder coach Scott Brooks called timeout and Westbrook was removed from the game, well before his usual rotation.

Winning attitude. You can't get complacent just because you're up 15 pts. See how the Lackers lost the other night.

westbrook is an emotional guy

[Chronz]

I always felt he wore his emotions on his sleeve but you gotta keep your head in the game at least alil bit. Hope he doesn't lose his cool in a playoff game, well unless if its vs the Clips

Sefelosha asked him to pass the ball. This is why he got mad. I saw it on espn with shaq and Barkley. Wow so selfish

[MetroMan]

I'm being super serious. Sefelosha asked him to pass the ball and he bugged out. His acting like child that's throwing a sissy fit. Very unprofessional.

Wrong.

He was mad because Sefalosha brought his man over toward Westbrook, and it resulted in Westy getting double teamed and getting a five second call against him.
