Listening on the radio, sounds like Cuz has barely touched the ball

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Definitely looking like a team that hasn't played together much

 

[Entity]

Sessions looks good going to basket

 

[HereWeBoogie]

He's kind of playing on the perimeter

 

[HighFlyingMonkey]

Didn't expect to get destroyed on the glass like we have.

 

[rainmaker]

Reggie at center, Carl at PF?

You've got to be kidding.

 

[Entity]

Stauskas first shot good for three

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Whoa, we have an SG that can make open 3s?

 

[c-webb1s#1]

Nik for 3!

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

nik rocks.

 

[The_Jamal]

Sessions-Nik looked a lot better than Collison-Ben that quarter.

Struggling a lot with ball movement right now. A lot of the same problems we had last season thus far early. Hopefully as nerves get under control, we get a little better.

 

[jcwkings]

Rudy overdribbling like crazy, literally looks like Toronto Gay, which was my fear if IT left.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I'm not sure how anyone thinks that Ben has a higher ceiling than Nik? He can jump up and touch a higher ceiling, but that's about it

 

[HighFlyingMonkey]

Instant reactions:

-Cousins isn't involved on the block enough. That being said, his defensive intensity has been disappointing, letting Valunciunas score on him twice without him even raising a hand.

-Rudy's handle looks terrible.

-Ben's shot doesn't look better yet

-Collison was largely forgettable but Sessions looks good. Has good court vision, one of his passes bounced right off Thompson's hands.

 

[Bricklayer]

Fugly first quarter, but then its a first preseason game.

1) Cousins was a big part of the fugly. He looked tired form the beginning. No fight on the glass. No special.

2) worst tendencies of a "motion offense" is that it means any random schmoe can end up shooting at any time and you can't focus on your strengths. We looked it.

3) Ben still can't shoot or stay in front of his man. Might want to start doing at least one.

4) Gay always reverts to Toronto Gay when facing Toronto.

5) Sessions looked good, as a scorer at least, off the bench

6) Nik hit his frist shot, a three

7) Evans/Landry the two bigs off the bench. Too small immediately.

 

[Entity]

We are getting out rebounded. Cuz and gay not doing much. Nothing flashy at all. Yet we are down 3 after 1st

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

3 turnovers in a row.

 

[Entity]

Landry looks like newborn deer out there

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

make that four straight turnovers.

 

[Entity]

Landry nice post move there

 

[The_Jamal]

Good position from Landry there and good from Sessions to get him the ball. Sessions probably looked the best right now

 

[Fear the Putin]

we still look dysfunctional
Only player that has stood out is Sessions.

 

[Krunker]

Sim with a rebound and 100% FG%

 

[Entity]

Believe it or not our rebounding has improved since cousins went to bench

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Sessions looks good. Has good court vision, one of his passes bounced right off Thompson's hands.

shocking

 

[Sluggah]

Looks like we can finally have IT come off the bench as a spark plug like so many wanted. His name is spelled kinda funny though.

 

[Entity]

Sim with a rebound and 100% FG%

Sim isn't playing that's landry s stats

Yeah, the problem with a motion offense is that it's kind of like musical chairs: a lot of times, the wrong guy has the ball in his hands when the music stops.

 

[c-webb1s#1]

I'm gonna guess that Nik will be starting pretty soon....ben has not shown any progress.

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

we have the worst defensive guards in the nba, lol.
