Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant took turns taking shots at Charlie Villanueva during a postgame press conference on Monday night.
After the Oklahoma City Thunder eliminated the Dallas Mavericks from the playoffs with a 118-104 victory in Game 4, Westbrook was asked about Villanueva continuing to mess with him. Villanueva on Monday staked out Westbrook during the point guard’s pregame ritual:

Villanueva had done something similar earlier in the series.
Westbrook zinged Villanueva by saying the bench player would watch another 82 games next season, while Durant muttered under his breath that Villanueva might not even be in the league:

Yup, that’s a dynamic duo you don’t want to mess with. In case you were wondering, Villanueva didn’t even register a minute of playing time in the game.
