Watch: Steven Adams curses out the rim after missing free throw

Adams is shooting just 48% from the line in his last five games, and he let the rim know exactly how he feels about it. 

Steven Adams has been really bad from the free-throw line recently, so he understandably has some pent-up anger brewing. He took it out on the rim, naturally. 

The New Zealander is shooting just 48% from the line in his last five games, and he headed to the stripe on Sunday with 1:41 remaining and the Thunder up 112-108 on the Pelicans. After clanking the first free throw off the back rim, Adams said something very mean. (You can see it at the 33-second mark in the video above.)

For the non lip-reading experts among us, what he said was: "I f---ing hate you so much.

Adams proceeded to over-compensate and left the next attempt short, proving once and for all that, like my my other always says, getting angry doesn't solve anything.
