LeBron James' teammates are beginning to emulate his performance in the NBA Finals. Unfortunately for James, it's with postgame walkouts and not good basketball.

After LeBron dipped out of a presser after being pressed about J.R. Smith's astounding lack of situational awareness in Game 1, Tristan Thompson became the latest Cavaliers player to ditch the media following Game 2.

One reporter wanted to know if Thompson felt a bit "helpless" trying to guard the Warriors on offense -- specifically Steph Curry, who dropped 33 points (including nine threes) and had 8 assists and 7 boards in the Warriors' Game 2 win. Thompson, who had 11 points and 5 rebounds, did not particularly like that question one bit.

Warning: Video features strong language.

Maybe it wasn't the most delicate way to word the question, but it's a pretty fair inquiry after Golden State made it rain on Cleveland in the second half of Sunday's contest. Obviously, it's never fun to answer questions after a loss -- especially in a situation where the stakes are as high as they are in the Finals -- but tough questions are going to come, especially when you fall into a 2-0 series hole.

If Thompson took offense to the word "helpless" being thrown around, he could have let that be known while also answering the question. The optics of storming off and swearing at the reporter are quite childish, especially now that this seems to be turning into a trend for the Cavaliers. 

At this point, the only person who should get to act triggered by the liberal use of "helpless" is LeBron.

Also, it appears Thompson was not thrilled with the officiating either.

OK, I'll give him that one.
