The Los Angeles Lakers have lost four in a row, after getting blown out of the water by the San Antonio Spurs, 138-110. The losing skid has once again generated concern for the purple and gold, much to the dismay of All-Star guard Russell Westbrook.

When asked about it after the game, Westbrook was brutally honest in his assessment of the Lakers' recent struggles.

Via Harrison Faigen:

“Four games ago we're 16-13 and fourth in the west,” said the Lakers guard. “I didn't hear none of these questions… So let's just be honest… there's a lot of things that have happened in the last week and a half.”

Things happening is right. The Los Angeles Lakers were fresh off a three-game winning streak and held home court advantage in the standings four games ago. But then Anthony Davis succumbed to yet another injury against the Minnesota Timberwolves. They've gone 0-4 since then with an average margin of defeat of -17.3 points per game.

On the other hand, injuries were basically a foregone conclusion for this Lakers side that's filled to the brim with aging veterans and an injury-prone AD. The Russell Westbrook addition was meant to help them overcome the games missed by both Davis and LeBron James.
