Portland Trail Blazers big man Jusuf Nurkic decided to wear a unique tee shirt after Tuesday night's Game 5 matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Knowing that Russell Westbrook was struggling to find a shooting rhythm in the series, Nurkic suited up in a custom shirt that read “Got bricks? Next question.”

Oklahoma City came into their series with the Trail Blazers as a No. 6 seed. Some experts thought the Thunder would have a shot at upsetting Portland (No. 3 seed), but it quickly became clear which team was going to advance. Oklahoma City managed to win Game 3, but it was their only victory of the series.

Westbrook spent much of the regular season racking up triple-doubles, but his play fell off a bit in the postseason. He had a triple-double in Game 1. However, in Game 2, he scored just 14 points 5-of-20 shooting, finishing with a plus/minus rating of -27. In Game 4, Westbrook had 14 points again — this time on 5-of-21 shooting from the field.

The shots simply weren't falling for Westbrook, and his frustration became evident during post-game interviews. Reporters would ask him questions related to the game, but Westbrook would reply with “Next question.” Nurkic knew this, which is why he decided to wear the shirt after Game 5.

In the end, Damian Lillard's 37-foot three-pointer at the end of Game 5 sent Oklahoma City home. It was the 12th straight road playoff loss for the Thunder, who have been eliminated in the first round for three straight seasons.

Portland now advances to the Western Conference semifinals to face the winner of the series between the Denver Nuggets and San Antonio Spurs. Currently, the Nuggets are holding a 3-2 lead in that series.
