OK, Russell Westbrook may need some scrutiny, but this is too much!!!

I know Russell Westbrook has been letting his mouth get ahead of himself a little bit, but this is a little ridiculous...






OK, time out on the floor, Westbrook, seeing no nearby official, throws the ball to the one official he sees (and that was at some distance!), and since the referee was not paying attention, DOINK!!!

Westbrook is T'd up.  If he gets a T for that, he has to leave the floor for the night and face a LONG suspension.  If you're going to T that up, then you have to claim he tried to bean the ref, and that's a long suspension.  (One of the reasons I think, since the NHL erroneously upheld the "violent conduct at referee" Wideman call, 20 games was not enough -- even though it was clear Wideman was concussed!!!!)

Wrong call.  Ref was not paying attention to where the ball was after the timeout was called.  Westbrook, as is his obligation, got the ball to the referee.

Westbrook, one of the most penalized players in the league, has already seen two technicals this season, at least, rescinded, but was suspended one game for accumulated technical fouls two years ago.  He had an ejection after the rescinding, and this one, if not rescinded, is #10.  He's suspended at #16.
