VIDEO: Russell Westbrook Talking Smack to Damian Lillard While Down Double-Digits is Embarrassing
By Michael Luciano
The Houston Rockets were in the process of getting stomped by the Portland Trail Blazers, as they trailed 102-88 with eight minutes left, when Russell Westbrook decided to foolishly mock Portland superstar Damian Lillard. Russ tried to boldly claim that Lillard couldn't guard him as he attacked the rim, but whatever cool factor he had was sapped out when Lillard simply pointed to the scoreboard.

Westbrook is known for being a bit on the brash and confident side, but this comes off as silly rather than intimidating. Lillard can rest easy knowing is Blazers got the win, meaning he doesn't have to pay Westbrook any mind.
