There are, unfortunately, two possible interpretations of "positionless" basketball.i really don't understand the reasoning for not using one of the bench big men down the stretch. Positionless basketball i guess?

Please, please, please put Sim Bhullar on the Canadian national team!
Ha, the joke is on the Raptors. This game didn't even count!
Okay, now, do like professional wrestling, Raptors, and return the job in our hometown...
I don't think there were too many negatives in this game aside from our bench's front court absolutely sucking. I think there needs to be more ball movement in our bench and Stauskas should definitely touch the ball more. A lot of GV carving up our D came from lack of help from D-Will or Landry.. I'm pretty happy with the outcome of this game. Gay and Cuz struggled in the 1st half, but cleaned it up in the 2nd.

Yea nothing really too concerning from that game, other than i don't ever wanna see Landry at Center again in any scenario.
The team looked pretty good in the 3rd quarter and dominated the Toronto starters

About one play out of five.

As Terrence Ross demonstrated, there's no reason to play your good players big minutes in a preseason game and get them injured.

Nik Stauskas on his first preseason game: "I understand that I’m a rookie and I”m white so people are going to attack me at all times."
Wow, Stauskas telling it like how it is..

who would attack nik for this game? he was pretty good. lol @ the race card.
He's talking about players wanting to go at him on the floor when he was playing defense. Not in the media or whatever.
Also bad on Jason Jones for framing that quote in a horrible way.

I thought the fellas looked pretty good. A little rough around the edges.
Darren and Ramon looked good at the point. Ben and Nik each had some highlights. Rudy and Cuz looked good in the third.
Otherwise the only negative I will give is that the new motion offense needs a little work
I foresee passing drills in the future, are you listening Reggie

It's Jason Jones. Are you surprised?
Typical Jason Jones.

Overall not the worst game. You will expect Cuz and Rudy to play more serious come regular season. Only thing that worries me is all the Rudy iso's we saw. He is now the clear second option, where last year you could argue he was 3rd most of the time.
Nik looked good offensively but guys went at him on the other end. Ben was the same as last year, lost for most of the game then with a few minutes that give you hope. JT looked like a rookies at times, the guy just has too many things going on in his head at one time.
Collison and Sessions both looked solid, Sessions showed his strengths with pushing the ball, getting to the rim/line. Collison did what was expected in facilitating, hit a few jumpers and break the defense down at times.

I'm trying to understand how Jason Jones framed the quote to hurt Nik. Was it out of context? I don't get it.

#Sessions was probs our best player for the game some of the drives. rifle passes in traffic were terrific, Collison was solid as well
#Staskuas was very solid he should beat out Ben for the starting spot he's just a way more consistent shooter.
#Rudy started tunneling again
#Hollins surprisingly effective
#Reggie did his thing on the boards and Carl was solid on offense him and Sessions seemed to have a nice connection
#JT, started off well than lost his confident it seemed
#Casspi/Williams.............................

Look at the bench they expect Nik to splash every time he shoots.

I don't necessarily think he did. It's just a little shocking to hear the truths sometimes.. you don't ever expect someone like James Harden to come out and say, "We lost tonight because I kept flopping." I mean it's obvious and blatant, but many players just would not say something like that. It's not the same exact example, but just a similar one.
I'm not sure if many knew, but he was referring to the game tonight.
Yea you hit it. Not that Jones was trying to hurt him with that tweet, but jeeze, help the rook out and don't try and catch him in a slip to get you some buzz. (which, this tweet btw, by far had the most retweets/favorites of anything he's tweeted in awhile)
