Kawhi Leonard makes Kevin Durant look pedestrian
Only one man could stop one of the most dangerous one-on-one threats in recent memory at the point of attack and make him look like just some dude: Kawhi Leonard. Sorry to see you had a rough go of it, some dude.
Justise Winslow has some thoughts on the Hornets passing on him at No. 9 in June’s Draft
Winslow takes Jeremy Lin baseline and yams all over Cody Zeller and Al Jefferson. The vine overshadows an otherwise quiet five-point performance, but yeesh, this was vicious.
Corey Brewer welcomes Emmanuel Mudiay to the NBA
Emmanuel Mudiay had quite an opening night, with 17 points, nine assists, 11 turnovers and one emphatic “Go Back to Guangdong” courtesy of Corey Brewer.

Elfrid Payton left much to be desired around the rim tonight, but that was no problem for Aaron Gordon, who did him the courtesy of cleaning up the scraps he left on his plate. This time, it was in the chops of poor Marcin Gortat, who, hey, gave it the ol’ college try.
That was hardly all we saw of Gordon, who continued wreaking havoc around the rim at the expense of Bradley Beal.
Swaggy gets buckets, is an airplane
Opening night in Los Angeles would be nothing without Nick Young draining leaners from 40 feet at the buzzer and flying down the court like an airplane. What else is Los Angeles good for?
