Hey Slava, one question: WHAT ARE THOSSEEEEEEEE?
Seth Curry showed out for the Pelicans today. It’s crazy how much he looks like Steph out on the court.
Willie Cauley-Stein making a nice little play in his debut. I’m sure we’ll be seeing much more of this throughout Willie’s career.
Julius Randle is still making rookie mistakes.
Julius Randle couldn't figure out how to get from the stands to the court

UPDATE: Julius Randle has successfully made it to the court after cutting through 3 rows of people to get to the right set of stairs

Lakers-Wolves was LIT, and warm-ups was no exception. Seriously, this game was insane. They had to open up the upper deck because there were so many fans who showed up. And the fans were rowdy all night long, screaming for every single little, and big, thing the Lakers did. Going to be hard for another game to top that atmosphere.
Jordan Clarkson threw down a nasty putback jam. He was very impressive tonight, dropping 23 points on the Wolves.
This Doron Lamb picture is really the greatest. Probably a top five moment in Doron’s career, honestly.
Shoutout to The Starters. A-YO!
