The Zinger was dominant though. We are entering a decade of dominant big men again (that can shoot 3's!) and its going to be awesome to watch. Embiid, Zinger, Brow, KAT... I'm stoked

Yeah I think he changed his shot up a bit. His Js look more effortless now.

I know it's only preseason, but I got tempered expectations for the Heat this season. It's obviously straight up rebuild mode, but I got hopes for the young blood improving this season.

If yesterday was any indication, rebuilding will not be as painful as I thought it would be. I am cautiously excited.

Derrick Rose still hasn't shown up - nearly 20 minutes after trial opened. His side won't comment. also waiting on a late juror #DoevRose

I hear a silver limo pulled up to LA courthouse, took one look at TV crews and pulled off. Jurors told D Rose expected today #DoevRose
12:20 PM - 6 Oct 2016

Derrick Rose finally showed up at 10:43, 40 minutes into Doe testimony and nearly 2 hours after he was scheduled to show. Wearing dark suit

Speaking of Rose:

The Derrick Rose Trial Is Already Getting Intense - Deadspin

McCoy went over several parts of narrative that Doe’s legal team has discussed before: She got drunk, and possibly drugged, while hanging out with Rose and his friends, then went home and passed out. Rose and his friends came over and raped her. McCoy added that one of the co-defendants “went twice” with Doe but can’t remember what order the men went in, Marsh reported. Doe told her roommates and a coworker what happened but didn’t go to the police, McCoy told jurors, because “she was embarrassed.”

...

During their opening arguments, Baute and Mike Monico portrayed Doe as a gold digger who was not drunk when Rose and his friends went over to her apartment. They continued a line of attacks they’d used before the trial began, with Baute comparing the alleged rape to a lottery ticket, and Monico calling the victim’s allegations toward Rose and the other two defendants.“horrible.”

"Mark Baute in openings: "Derrick Rose has too many women looking to get at him where there's going to be some kind of problem"

Rose's lawyer sums up: "This lawsuit is fake. The evidence will show it's a sad effort to get a lottery hit. Nothing more nothing less"

&openings from co-defs lawyer Monico: "They are horrible allegations. Possibly the worse a woman can say about three men and they are false""

I like it more when the Knicks are funny.

Edit:

Those last couple of lines are from @juliakmarsh who is tweeting a lot of stuff about this case.

What a mess.

I'm always so conflicted when a high profile rape case like this pops up. Assuming guilt is always wrong, but it's difficult not to sometimes. The justice system routinely fails rape victims and they're treated horribly from pretty much every angle once they come out with the accusation.

I read that Jordan used to beg Madonna for sex but she'd always laugh at his attempts and send a limo to pick up Scottie, instead.

Saw Warriors and Kings in San Jose (SJ Sharks arena). Crowd was hype and was awesome to see KD live. Looked good again with like 25 points. Only worry was seeing Boogie bully all our bigs, but I guess he does that to almost everyone in the league.

The Warriors beat the Kings by 9 and the Lakers beat the Kings by 19. Therefore it stands to reason that the Lakers would beat the Warriors by 10.

We did it!
