NBA fans react to Russell Westbrook’s performance in Raptors-Nuggets game

On Monday night, the Denver Nuggets hosted the Toronto Raptors in Colorado.

Many NBA fans reacted on social media.

@graceofthecurls: “Russell Westbrook has instilled a wild energy in the younger Nuggets and I love it”

Matt Brooks: “I love this high screen that DeAndre Jordan sets, giving Russell Westbrook a full lane to get to the rim.

Great finish from Russ. “He’s still very fast on the open court.”

@PensareBBall: “Russell Westbrook had the worst failure in NBA history. And the referees fell for it. “

@waltdenver: “Russell Westbrook may still be the most athletic guy on the court, but he plays basketball like he’s wearing oven mitts”

@NBABlackburn: “Very good game from Russell Westbrook so far.”

@ay_tenm: “I LOVE RUSSELL WESTBROOK ON MY TEAM!!!!!!!! Let’s GOOOOOOOOOOOOO”
