Russell Westbrook has been mostly struggling this year. So have the Los Angeles Lakers. The team has lost the last 3 matches, and 9 of their last 11. With the club's form being as it is, other teams' players find it easier to express their thoughts about the Lakers on the court.

Last night, the Minnesota Timberwolves dismantled the Lakers. One of their players, Patrick Beverley, was seen trash-talking the opponents' players throughout the entirety of the game.

Asked about the trash talk in the post-game press conference, Westbrook wasn't phased by it and even offered a perspective about their opponents.

"Honestly, I don't pay no mind to it, maybe the other guys," Westbrook said after the match. "They weren't talking to me. They were talking to individual guys, particularly, but the trash talking wasn't about anybody."

"Nobody over there has done anything in this league to make me put my eyes up," the former league MVP continued. "They made me smile. Good, they won the game, I'm happy for them, on to the next one, and there's that."

Russell Westbrook is averaging 18 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 7.1 assists per match during this season for the Lakers. However, his player efficiency rating is down to 14.4 compared to his career average of 22.6
