As Game 2 is set to begin in less than a couple of hours, Russell Westbrook seemed to take something personally when a TV reporter was giving predictions ahead of tonight’s Game 2 action between the Suns and Clippers.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!As Westbrook seemed to be going through warm-up drills before the game, a TV reporter was heard at the baseline giving his prediction on how the Suns will come out to start the game tonight. Which led Westbrook to make a comment on how he feels about it.
“I expect the Suns to come out and try to set the tempo…”
“Good luck.”
Russ was trolling the Clipper sideline reporter ????

This is what playoff basketball is all about as the Clippers are looking to shock the NBA world by going up 2-0 against a heavily favored Suns team in round 1 of the NBA playoffs.
Westbrook last game did his part to make sure they got in that position today as he only shot 3-19 but played great defense and racked up 10 rebounds.
5 of those rebounds were on offense which helped his team get second-chance points especially late in the 4th quarter. Westbrook also had a game-sealing block on Devin Booker who was trying to get a quick bucket in the paint. Westbrook has always played with high motor and passion that help feed a team’s energy.
Let’s see if that reporter ends up being right tonight or will the Clippers get off to a similar start on Sunday and get a big-time upset again on a heavily favored opponent?
