Just recently, Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz was ejected after throwing a fit and tossing a water bottle to the side on the scorer's table. In a contest between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center Wednesday night, Russell Westbrook also smacked a water bottle across the scorers' table.
It wasn't done with the sheer anger or force as Gobert had, so the French big man decided to poke fun of Westbrook because of it on social media.
That was weak… https://t.co/BOSg60EUjB

Rudy Gobert has played extremely well for the Utah Jazz this season. Quite possibly a Defensive Player of the Year candidate, Gobert's gravity as a rim protector is matched by no other center in the league other than Joel Embiid. He's also no slouch offensively. He's very underrated with his back to the basket and takes smart shots.
On the season, Gobert is averaging 15.5 points and 12.8 rebounds per game while shooting 66 percent from the field. He leads the NBA in field goal percentage, beating out both DeAndre Jordan and Clint Capela for the top spot.
Meanwhile, Russell Westbrook and the Thunder held their own against the Lakers in Los Angeles. They beat the Lakers 107-100 behind 37 points from Paul George.
