Marcus Smart is at least vaguely aware of Oklahoma City guard Russell Westbrook’s post-game rant about losing to Smart and the Celtics Sunday night. He said he read and heard about the comments, “here and there.”
To review, Westbrook, asked about Smart, said, “There’s 82 games I do this. Don’t get it twisted. (Smart) had a good game. We’ve got another game tomorrow. We’ll see him again.”
Perhaps the problem is that Smart, who met Westbrook while still at Oklahoma State, now bothers the Thunder star because he is now a rival. Smart agreed.
“It definitely does (change),” he said before tonight's game against the Rockets.
