Russell Westbrook is calling B.S. on former backcourt mate Reggie Jackson.
Jackson’s celebration at the end of the Pistons’ 88-82 victory Tuesday over the Thunder was too much, in Westbrook's opinion.

"Honestly, I think that was some real bulls—,” Westbrook said via ESPN. "I don't appreciate it for our team and our organization. I don't like it at all. But it is what it is. We'll see him down the line. We'll take care of that when we get there.”
Jackson landed in Detroit last season after requesting a trade from OKC to get more playing time. Since then, Jackson has signed a monster contract and put the Pistons on the verge of a playoff spot. Still, an emotional win at home was no excuse to the Thunder.
"Just surprised, really,” said Thunder center Steve Adams, who had a few words with Jackson on the floor. "Says a lot about him.”
Jackson, who took what amounted to a victory lap around the court, did not specifically address the Thunder’s complaints.
“It’s playoff atmosphere, and hopefully we get used to it,” Jackson told the Detroit News.
