Westbrook's Meltdown

[BatManu20]

Did anyone watch the OKC game tonight? Westbrook threw a temper-tantrum after an on-court dispute with Thabo Sefalosha and eventually just left the game on his own and went back to the locker room to "blow off some steam." Then, after the game, he was interviewed by Craig Sager and was obviously still in a pissy mood. Somebody get this guy a pacifier. He's quickly becoming my least favorite player in the league.

lol@ his outfit

[Blake]

tantrum needs to happen in late May, not January.

[Juggity]

How can anyone defend this guy? lmao.

He will be solely responsible for the Thunder losing in the playoffs.

saw that outfit on bill and teds excellent adventure i think

[Trainwreck2100]

lol okc kept the wrong guy

[chapnis]

The more I see shit like this the more I appreciate what the Spurs have.

[capek]

Wow, what a little bitch. Comes off like a 5 year old child in that interview. :td

[HI-FI]

1. Craig Sager is a national treasure

2. Seeing Westbrook be a little bitch is only going to get better. lol at Presti letting Harden go and keeping this clown. thank you luxury tax.

[Cry Havoc]

Refsbrook is going to cost them a shot at the Finals this year. Mark my words. No Harden, no WC title this year. It's gonna be SAS or LAC in the Finals.

[Bruno]

Yep, the whole "The Thunder aren't affected by the Harden trade, just look at their record" talk is BS. In the playoffs, when defense will be tighter it will hurt them. Durant and a stupid Westbrook won't be enough and it's not the highly overrated Ibaka that will save them. The west is wide open this year.

[freetiago]

harden wont be missed tbh
still 5v8

[4Dwin!]

for those who cant see the video, here's an excerpt from sbnation :mad rushttp://assets.sbnation.com/assets/2102825/madruss.gif

[AussieFanKurt]

There is an NBA forum for a reason

[Monkeyboy14]

He will be solely responsible for the Thunder losing to the spurs in the playoffs.
Yes? :D

[biskvito]

So the guy has a heart and is bothered by what's happening on his previously contender team. I don't see the big deal, it's probable better than players who don't give a fuck.

How is going off at your team mate for cutting show you have heart. All this shows is that he's a massive bitch. You're saying if you were playing and you did something and your team mate went off at you for nothing you'd be like nah thats fine you just have crazy heart

[KaiRMD1]

This clown will be the end of the Thunder, guarantee it. He already has pretty much killed the Thunder the last two years.

This... what happens when Westbrook has a 3 ast/6 to night and shoots 6-24?

[spursfan09]

Could you imagine if any spur player did this?? It'd be there funeral and pop would be in prison

Yeah I misspelled their

I wouldn't mind Westbrook's testy brand of perfectionism if his game suggested that he was, in fact, a perfectionist.

Yup, Westbrook completely missing to guard Tony Parker in the game at the start of the season (which led to the buzzer beater) definitely was not due to lack of communication from his teammates

[ThaBigFundamental21]

Wow, what a fuckin baby. Completely unprofessional. Hell of an interview bruh.

[maverick1948]

If a Spur did this, the trade machine would be overworked trying to figure what scrub we were going to get in return. That is a fact. He would be gone.

[bklynspursfan]

This is the PG that will lead OKC to multiple championships like the experts believe.... Yea not seeing it.

[superbigtime]

what a sullen little child act, a mumbling little brat. take it like a man, bitch.

[pad300]

Bullshit. They would never find the body...

[DesignatedT]

Gosh what a pussy.

[Dex]

:lol handled it like a man.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Little bitch. I agree with OP, he's starting to become a player I despise.

[spurraider21]

throwing a bitch fit, storming into the locker room, and borderline crying during the interview is controlling it like a man :lmao

calling craig sager "bruh" :lmao

[Libri]

Would like to know what happened in the locker room and see if it was on par with Amare's meltdown.

[ginobilized]

I wonder if his weaknesses will be exploited in the playoffs
totally reminds me of Amare
The Spurs used to mess with his head and it cost the Suns bigtime
Good times!

[Embedded]

I have a feeling that we have yet to see the biggest meltdown from Westbrook, a.k.a. Duckmouth. Look at his mouth, his lips look like a duck beak when he's pissed and his mouth is closed. Looking at how he's dressing, seems as if there's something that's just not right about the guy, and having to play second fiddle to KD doesn't fit his persona.

[TacoCabanaFajitas]

I wonder if he high-fived that little kid at the end of that .gif or just blew by him.

[Old School 44]

He's going the way of the t-wolves Marbury/Garnett. He wants to be the star of the team.
Just wait until he gets into Durant's face instead of Sefolosa's.

He'll be shipped quicker than.........
I'll let you all finish it.

[ohmwrecker]

NBA Forum?

[RD2191]

he left that lil kid hanging, was watching live

Wouldn't be surprised if a team like Dallas picks him up, so he can be the only star on a team. That's what he really wants.

[Leetonidas]

Finally got to hear the Sager interview. God damn what a massive faggot. Can't wait for TP to rape his ass once again in the playoffs

[Dr. John R. Brinkley]

I think Sager felt emboldened and relieved to be around someone with a more ridiculous fashion sense than himself.

[crc21209]

:lol I've always hate his overrated ass. I get tired of "expert analysts" claiming he's one of the best PG's in the league when he constantly puts up 6/22 or 8/25 shooting numbers. Yet, he's still somehow "great." What a joke. And as far as this incident goes, what a damn cry baby...grow up....

[exstatic]

OKC traded the wrong guard. They should have dumped his clown ass and kept Harden.

[therealtruth]

Just a reminder that Westbrook played well enough for the Thunder to win against us in the WCF and he didn't even have that good a series.

[Trainwreck2100]

by playing well you mean deferred to Harden and Durant, and had his defensive assignment changed because he couldn't guard his position.

[ThaBigFundamental21]

Well played! :rollin

[Ice009]

He was still someone we had to expend a lot of energy on. He wasn't great, but he didn't get completely bailed out. The Spurs still had to concentrate on him defensively.

[exstatic]

He was OK as a third option. This year he'll have to be the second option and perform much better. His tantrums won't make that easy, or a given.

[phxspurfan]

We can officially put him on the all punk b*tchass team that no one wants to play with.

C Bynum
PF Cousins
SF Beasley
SG Bryant
PG Westbrook

[Manufan909]

Gotdamn, that was pathetic.

What about Garnett?

Harden beat us. Plain and simple. Harden went 2005 manu on us. That is all there is to it.

Hes waiting to come off the bench.

[Richie]

No doubt, but he didn't have the ball in his hands at the key moments. That was all Harden.

Look at the Coach Nick breakdown of Game 5. Westbrook hits one big shot with a hand in his face, but he shows a couple of bad turnovers, especially stepping in to the back court. What happens when Harden gets the ball? Nobody gives him anything in terms of a screen so he has to take a dribble pull up 3 and kills us. If that shot misses, we probably win the game

What an immature jack ass... "I controlled my temper like a man"... Having a hissy fit on the bench and then running off to the locker room is being a man.. Interesting...

He will never be comfortable being the Scottie Pippen of this squad that is for sure..

Moral of the story, don't let SJax play in that series.

[Richie]

Yeah, the role players really shit the bed. Theres another breakdown that slaughters Neals decision making, he's pulling up for horrible shots. But then, we all know he'll do that with the ball in his hands.

Sorry, yes, I should have mentioned that too.

[Richie]

Another interesting break down about how we targeted Westbrook in the first couple games

4zJlzkUpjTo

The Thunder solved this by putting Sefelosha on Parker, but now they don't have Harden to guard Manu. If they do it again, Ginobili should have his way with Kevin Martin

[hater]

plays like a chimp, gets mad like a chimp

problem is whether Ginobili will be ready (healthy, in game shape, in sync, and in rhythm) he MIGHTVE played 5 of those 100% games so far this season.

[TrainOfThought5]

I think this places more emphasis on Kawhi to be able to step up and become the man if Ginobili is unable to hold form for 6 straight games.

[Richie]

Kawhi isn't that player, and if we rely on him to carry us against OKC it will be all over. No doubt Duncan will play a big role, as will Splitter and Parker, but I feel the match up where we have a clear advantage is Manu vs Martin. We didn't have that advantage last year.

Ideally we will only need Manu to take advantage in the first couple of games which will force Brooks to put Sefelosha on him and Westbrook back on to Parker where he can (hopefully) take advantage.

Exactly I am not sure we can rely on Manu to score 20+ a game any more in the playoffs.

i dont disagree with you. Kawhi isnt that guy; In THIS system. and its why i dont think we're favorites.
