Russell Westbrook: Patrick Beverley Ticked Y'All Like He Playing Defense

[RealGM Wiretap]

Russell Westbrook criticized the defense of Patrick Beverley after James Harden scored 47 points in the Houston Rockets' 102-93 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Westbrook and Beverley have been rivals dating back to the 2013 playoffs when the former suffered a torn meniscus when the latter collided with him after calling a timeout.

"Pat Bev trick y'all, man, like he playing defense," Westbrook said. "He don't guard nobody, man. It's just running around, doing nothing. ... All that commotion to get 47."

Westbrook celebrated Beverley's sixth foul with a mocking wave.

"Don't start that, don't start that," Beverley told ESPN as he exited the Clippers' locker room. "I don't care about that."

Even I'm a little Ticked by the misquote in this headline.

[Nutty Nats Fan]

Should Westbrook really be bashing someone else's defense? (And based on 1 game, like he was so silly realGM poster)

I know right, all these black guys should speak identical to the way your parents taught you how to speak. The same thing goes for those people from Boston, the south, or any dialect of the English language for that matter. Get with the program people and speak in a manner that people like "TheCage4" can finally respect you.

I’d venture to say you, my friend, could benefit from some reading comprehension too.

No where in my comment did I reference ethnicity or geographical location. The fact that you derived that from what I wrote speaks to a deeper issue that you yourself may be struggling with.

So with that said, please get with the program and respect your fellow RealGM posters and keep your race driven dialogue to yourself.

Thank you.

LOL..If anyone here is struggling with deeper issues, its probably the dude trying to be the grammar police on a basketball forum.

Lacking self awareness I see. You might wanna try some reading comprehension with your own post before preaching to others about the lack of theirs. Basically you somehow managed to preach "respect your fellow poster" while at the same time attempting to ridicule my reading comprehension within the same post.

So with that said, please get with the program and respect your fellow RealGM posters and keep your judgemental hypocritical comments to yourself.

Thank You

Sigh.

A clear example of today’s way to respond to ridicule- continue to spin and redirect the subject dialogue until we’ve run out of enough bread crumbs to find our way back.

I wish you a safe journey home.
