On Friday night, the Denver Nuggets took on the Timberwolves in Minnesota.

The Nuggets lost by a score of 119-116 to fall to 2-3 in their first five games of the new season.

Russell Westbrook finished the loss with five points, six rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block while shooting 1/8 from the field and 0/3 from three-point range in 25 minutes.

Many NBA fans reacted to Westbrook’s performance.

@obeyquis: “Russell Westbrook being hired to play basketball is still crazy”

@SkyedOKC: “look how Russell Westbrook is the first to defend his teammate… how can anyone hate this guy?”

@crimcardinal: “Russell Westbrook single-handedly is the reason Denver is losing games”

@TheWestWolfPod: “Russell Westbrook is doing a lot of little things in the 4th inning. I’m very happy that, as always, he is finding ways to contribute in a big way.”

@thenamesvinny: “The Nuggets need to cut Russell Westbrook immediately. It’s embarrassing to watch him try to play basketball”

@HiNoteee: “Maybe it’s time for Russell Westbrook to retire. He still can’t shoot, his shooting at the rim is poor, his handle is one of the worst in the league, he’s poor at the free throw line, and he’s very prone to losing money.

When you are no longer effective in any way, it’s over.”

@JaIenWilsonMuse: “Russell Westbrook is one of the best teammates you can have on your side and will have his guys’ back every step of the way.”

The Nuggets will resume action Saturday night when they host the Utah Jazz in Denver.
