Patrick Beverley Is Not Here For Lakers Trash Talk

A bitter war of words has started after the Los Angeles Lakers-Minnesota Timberwolves game on Wednesday night.

The Timberwolves came out on top in the end, routing the Lakers 124-104 in yet another embarrassing defeat.

There was a lot of trash talking on the court during the game, especially when Russell Westbrook missed some critical shots.

But Westbrook said he wasn’t worried about all the comments about him.

Following the game, Westbrook said, “Their trash talking doesn’t bother me. Nobody over there has done anything in this league.”

That’s some harsh criticism of a team that just beat you by 20 points…especially since it came only days after that team’s lead player, Karl-Anthony Towns, impressed the NBA by scoring 60 points.

Westbrook’s words didn’t sit well with T-Wolves player Patrick Beverley, who has never been one to hide his opinion.

“Playoffs every year. 2 western conference finals with 2 different teams. Individual stats or team stats? I thought it was a team sport??” Beverly tweeted out after Westbrook’s harsh words.

Say what you want about Beverley, but he does have a point.

 

Westbrook’s Woes

Westbrook said he wasn’t bothered by the team’s trash talking but it certainly seemed to get under his skin since it warranted such a reaction.

Many people have said it was bad form to say such things about a fellow team, especially since his claims of them never having “done anything in this league” seem unfounded.

True, the current Timberwolves team hasn’t won a championship or made the Finals but Westbrook hasn’t won one either.

Plus there is no debate that the T-Wolves are much better than the Lakers right now.

He can ignore the trash talk all he wants but he can’t ignore that the Timberwolves are actually a special, talented team.
