Blazers coach throws playful jab at Russell Westbrook over media dealings
The Portland Trail Blazers are enjoying every bit of their playoff series win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, and even head coach Terry Stotts got in on the fun following his team’s dramatic victory in Game 5.
As you may know, Russell Westbrook has been refusing to answer questions from Berry Tramel of The Oklahoman with anything other than “next question” for quite some time. When Tramel went to ask Stotts a question shortly after Damian Lillard’s buzzer-beating three-pointer on Tuesday night, Stotts had to fight the urge to give the reporter the Westbrook treatment.
LMAO Terry Stotts & Berry Tramel wanna clown Russell Westbrook so bad ???? pic.twitter.com/QE5440hxH1

Tramel said in a column earlier this month that he has no idea why Westbrook has such a problem with him, but the Thunder star’s boycott of him continued in the playoffs.
Between Stotts trolling Westbrook and the way Lillard reacted to ending Oklahoma City’s season, the Thunder are getting it from all angles. That’s what happens when you allow a rival to dominate you.
