Russell Westbrook has been a talking point all season. In fact, Russell Westbrook has been in the headlines all his career because of the kind of player he is and whatnot. But this season he is in the headlines because of the things he would not want to be. 

Westbrook is having a poor season with the Lakers. He is way off the mark and nowhere near his own standards. The Lakers are struggling and honestly, Russ does not seem to be the solution.

Another reason for Russ being in the headlines recently is his rivalry with Patrick Beverley. The spat started when Russ made remarks about Patrick’s game, stating that he just wasn’t good enough.

Amidst a poor season from Russ West’s standards, Patrick made salty remarks towards the Lakers man. He made sure he did not let this chance go waste to put across his comments in this rivalry.

He talked on the podcast about how much he held on to Russell’s remarks about him.

“I call that perfect timing, divine timing,” Beverley said of his comment. “You know people looked at me differently? People around the NBA, coaches, players, like after that people were just taking the ball just going at me,” said Patrick.

“People really looked at it like, ‘Yeah, maybe this m*****f***** don’t play defense. The only thing he does is run around.’ So, obviously, I had one bad game. ‘Oh, Russ was right. I knew this m*****f*****; the only thing he did is run around and stuff like that.’ You know, it’s no fun when the rabbit gots the gun now.”

Many fans believe that Russ did not say anything that was not true. This season, Pat Bev averages 9.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game, which is in fact slightly better than his career average. Whereas Russ West has averaged 18.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game, which is below his standards considerably.

Both Timberwolves and Lakers are in a situation that would make them compete in the play-in tournament. It would be an interesting clash if the two teams happen to play against each other and we would get to see Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley face off.
