Russell Westbrook scored a career-high 54 points against the Pacers yesterday. But because it took place in a losing effort, Westbrook caught a ton of heat from members of the media who called him out for taking 43 shots during the game. Westbrook responded by telling reporters to get off his back:

So...how many shots do you think Westbrook will fire up tonight?
