I always see this as a weakness when a player gets into it with a heckler. Gotta be more focused than that. Can't allow an outsider to pull your head out of the game.

The Mavs player decided not to share the playoff revenue with Rondo after he quit on the team. And that was a lockerroom lead by Dirk.

Yes he is

Not a fan of Rondo, but can not disagree with the trash comment on Westbrook.

how is this thread worthy ? Westchoke is what he should have called him, but he really shouldnt have said anything if he was just kicking him when he was down which is a very low character move on little rondo or whatever his brother is to him

Westbrook is sensitive as hell. He had no issues yelling smack to the audience during game 1, but gets butthurt when someone returns the favor.
