2014 NBA Playoffs: Oklahoma City Thunder's wild ride
Brother's Tweeter
Fans get emotional during games and say things. They yell about the coach, the opposing players, and their own players. But when you say those knee-jerk things on Twitter, they get chronicled. They get noticed. They get remembered.
Ray Westbrook learned this lesson during Game 3 of the Thunder's opening round. The Thunder had fallen behind by 17 in the third quarter, prompting Russell Westbrook's little brother to tweet, "We need a new coach ASAP like rocky!!!!!!"
Russell set things straight the following day, backing Scott Brooks. "I took care of that," he said. "We don't conduct business like that. Me and Scotty have a great relationship." Ray sent out a new tweet apologizing, while also deleting the original. Too late, though. Because we noticed it. And obviously, we remember it.
