Russell Westbrook is facing backlash from NBA fans for the Clippers-Nuggets game

On Saturday night, the Denver Nuggets hosted the Los Angeles Clippers in Colorado.

The match was extremely close, but they lost by a score of 109–104 and fell to 0–2 in the new season.

Russell Westbrook had two points, one rebound, two assists, two steals and one block while shooting 0/8 from the field and 0/3 from three-point range in 19 minutes of playing time.

Via StatMuse: “Westbrook as a nugget:

2-18 FG

0-2.”

Many NBA fans reacted to his performance.

@HaterReport_: “Russell Westbrook is going to single-handedly take down the Denver Nuggets, lmaooo”

@OhYesHeDid24: “Westbrook’s first shot attempt in Game 1: Airball

Game 2: Airball again!”

@swishout: “One minute Denver thinks they are a dynasty, the next Westbrook is an important part of their team. Life hit them fast lol”

@twowayshai: “Russell Westbrook, the game left you my man. You’ve had a great career but it’s time to call it quits”

@BosshogAZ: “I can’t defend Westbrook anymore man.. it was a good run my G. Be a family man”

The Nuggets play their next game on Monday night when they visit Scottie Barnes and the Toronto Raptors in Canada.
