It sucks that Russell is out but here he is doing the same damn thing that got him injured so he can shut his pie hole about being upset with Beverly.
In the video you posted the ball was actually still in play.. Lin crossed half court and Westbrook made a play on the ball AND then Lin spun away THEN called timeout.. At which point the whistle was blown by he referee
in the play in which Westbrook was injured.. Westbrook had crossed half court, signaled to the referee for timeout while he was heading in the direction of his his bench... Beverley's attempt on the ball came after the whistle had already blown
I don't believe Beverley had any sort of intent to injure westbrook.. However I do believe he intended to frustrate Westbrook.. And his attempt at a steal was done merely for that purpose
Even if Westbrook was "faking" a timeout, given his location on the court (straddling the sideline).. IF Beverley had stolen the ball he would have just ended up out of bounds and the ball would have went back to the thunder
