The Thunder and Warriors seemingly entered their game on Wednesday not liking each other very much. It appears they left the game feeling the same way.
Russell Westbrook tells teammate to not say what’s up to a ‘b**** a**’ after Thunder-Warriors
After the game, as the teams were walking off the court, Russell Westbrook had some specific instructions for a teammate who may have thought about a postgame greeting with someone from Golden State.
The audio isn’t perfectly clear, but it certainly sounds like Westbrook says, “E, don’t say what’s up to that bitch ass.”
Thunder teammate Enes Kanter was walking behind Westbrook at the moment, so in theory, he could be the “E” Westbrook was talking to.
As to who the “bitch ass” is, well there is no shortage of options.
Option No. 1 - Kevin Durant
The obvious choice. Westbrook and Durant have had a falling out since Durant left the Thunder for Golden State. After the game, Westbrook said the two were not on speaking terms.
Could Kanter have been going over to say hello to his former teammate? Maybe, but remember Kanter and Durant got into it a little the last time the teams met, so they might not be especially friendly either.
Option No. 2 - Zaza Pachulia
Pachulia was called for a flagrant foul during the game for a hard hit on Westbrook. He also stood over Westbrook and stared him down. An act Westbrook was not happy about. After the game, he said he was going to “get his ass back.”
Maybe Kanter and Pachulia are friendly and Westbrook was still angry about the hard foul.
Option No. 3 - Draymond Green
A lot of people in the NBA seem to dislike Green, so he makes this list based purely on reputation.
Option No. 4 - Literally anyone else in the arena
It could have been anyone!
We’ll need to dig up alternate camera angles to truly discover who the “bitch ass” is.
