Our main big man, Steven Adams found himself in the middle of media awkwardness following their third loss in the playoffs to theĀ Houston Rockets.


A media journalist came in way too hot towards Adams, for MVP candidate Russell Westbrooks liking, so he decided to take over the question himself, defending not just our big man but also the OKC Thunder.

Russ was having none of it, "don't split us up, don't try to split us up, don't try to make us go against each other". The Thunder have been taking some heat as of late, especially at the tail end of the season, with journalists pointing out that OKC are not performing as well as they should be when their star player is on the court.

Adams, especially, has been especially flack for his poor performances, journalists claiming that he is not worth the amount of money that he has been upgraded to. However, the brotherhood certainly seems strong in the team, evident in Russ jumping in and clearing the air for Steven, who as usual, looks cool, calm and collected.
