    Didn't seem malicious or anything. Not sure if the tech was deserved.

    Breaking News:

    Bballholic sources say he's getting the same suspension as Ron Artests Detroit Brawl.

    ESPN: Russell Westbrook now has 4 games this season in which he's missed 20 or more shots. That's twice as many as the rest of the NBA combined.

    Lmao I don't know if it was malicious but ole dude never even looked at Russ before he chucked it. With his shooting though he might have actually been trying to hit the three there

    Sheeeeeit, Russell. I know the NBA and sports media love you but passing it to the ref isn't going to help in your quest to get yet another triple- double. The refs don't actually play on your team...yet.

    The yet was critical because eventually they did if you saw the blown dunk that he got bailed out with the phantom foul call (2nd half)

    I've never seen a player fire a pass like that to a ref. Usually is a soft pass with a bounce. Russ was throwing a temper tantrum and got off easy imho.

    You can tell it was intentional, just by looking at his release he does a double clutch and releases half way.

    I've never seen a basketball player throw a brick at an official.

    You can't really laugh at Westbrooks shooting % this game when Harden just posted a 25% mark.

    But Westbrook does this regularly.

    Westbrook eFG% : 46.2%

    Harden eFG% : 52.8%

    The shooting efficiency between the two isn't really close.

    Westbrook's efficiency is consistently bad.

    2PT%

    Westbrook : 45.2%

    Harden : 52.4%


    3PT%

    Westbrook : 31.6%

    Harden : 35.6%

    Westbrook has terrible 2 point shot percentage for a player who also can't shoot three pointers. He's really not a good scorer at all. If Harden didn't take so many 3s which drags his regular FG% down, the contrast between the two would be much more dramatic, unfortunately not many people know the concept of eFG% and TS%.

    I was talking about this game. You can't laugh at his % when our guy posted an even more horrific one. He wasn't talking about season numbers.
