Russell Westbrook isn't worried about possibly getting suspended for picking up too many technical fouls this season.

Russ was ejected from the Thunder's last game against the Grizzlies after getting T'd up twice, now giving him 10 technicals for the season. At 16 technicals, a player receives his first suspension.

Westbrook is very much aware of this.

Such a classic Westbrook response.

It will be interesting to monitor if Westbrook does start holding back a little with the technicals. Russ plays with as much energy and emotion as anyone in the league so it's not uncommon for that to spill over a little too much and result in techs.

But at the same time, this season more than ever, the Thunder cannot afford to be without Westbrook, even for a single game.
