Things took an unexpected turn Wednesday night as the Houston Rockets defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 107-100, extending the series to a game six. The absence of Westbrook showed as the Thunder struggled and Kevin Durant was oddly held scoreless for the entire fourth quarter.
Houston Rockets fans are suddenly feeling pretty confident including Royce White, the Rockets first-round pick last year. White sent these tweets to the Thunder and Kevin Durant.
And… that’s why you play the games. That @okcthunder team just looked shook. “They’re looking shaky baby.”#RedNation

Of course people weren’t happy with Royce White’s comments and flooded his twitter account with trash talk and threats.
White infamously suffers from an anxiety disorder that has hindered his NBA career. He has demands and fragile working conditions that he claims the Houston Rockets have not met. He was then sent to their D-League affiliate the Rio Grande Vipers who by the way won the Championship without White who said the playoffs weren’t conducive to his condition. For someone who’s constantly unable to perform he probably shouldn’t call anyone “shaky”.
Do ppl ACTUALLY think if they tweet enough I’m going to change? “Never change when you’re winning.” Say what I want…#FreedomOfSpeech
