Russell Westbrook came prepared for the Warriors' playoff funeral in Game 5
If the Oklahoma City Thunder shock the world and knock off the defending champions on Thursday night, Russell Westbrook will be dressed for the occassion:
That's definitely a funerary look from the Thunder point guard, although it's pretty rude to wear a backward hat at a funeral, Russ.
You might think this is just a coincidence. Westbrook is a stylish guy, after all, and black is a pretty fashionable color. Let us assure you -- this is by no means a random choice:
Um so Russ has worn all black for each elimination game in this year playoffs like it's opponent's funeral. Amazing. pic.twitter.com/tfpDCT2EA7

Whether Westbrook or his stylist is responsible, we're not sure. Either way, though, Westbrook -- who's redefining greatness before our very eyes -- sent a message to Stephen Curry & Co. before Game 5 even started.
UPDATE: 11:30 PM ET: Maybe a little premature on that one, Russ. Better luck next time.
