Tristan Thompson Leaves Interview After Question About Steph Curry

Tristan Thompson didn't care for a reporter asking him if there was a sense of helplessness in covering Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson on the perimeter.

Perhaps following in the footsteps of LeBron James after Game 1, on Sunday night (after Game 2, duh) Tristan Thompson quickly ended an interview after he was asked a question he didn't care for.

The question? Did he feel "helpless" trying to guard the Warriors on the perimeter (and after witnessing plays like this, answering "yes" seems more than fair).

Unfortunately, Thompson didn't see it that way, and instead he dipped on out of there after the media member's apparent transgression, though he did state he doesn't feel helpless against any NBA players. Tough loss combined with not the best phrasing? Well, you know the drill:

Tristan also said he was "over this ref shit" after he was asked about officiating:

Tristan Thompson was asked if the Cavs feel helpless at times trying to guard Steph Curry. He dropped a string of curse words in disagreement and ended his interview.

Also said: "I'm over this ref sh*t" when asked about officiating
