Alright ice cream break. Hopefully Shroeder doesn’t wet the bed. Wagner being better than Barnes upsets me

I think it's a solid take, but I don't see them beating team USA simply cause there are too many ball handlers and shooters on that team. Outside of SGA no one on Canada's team would make team USA.

Of course, they have to beat Germany first.

Anyway, much respect to Brooks. Dude should be in the NBA for a long long time. And what a performance by Serbia. Avramovic was my personal favourite. The guy was making NBA dudes look like bad ball handlers and defenders, despite just being a role player for Partizan.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

lambchop wrote:Ultimately inexperience cost Canada this game. That foul trouble destroyed them. Not because of the refs, but simply due to lack of awareness among the players. Sometimes you have to give up 2 to 6 points or just be disciplined instead of going for a steal. In the long it increases your team's chances of winning.



once i read shai or brooks said after beating slovena that if they play well against serbia they'll be good, i knew what was coming

Remember SLovenian 2005 team? They clinched World cup after winning top 6 spot, showed up for the 5th. place game practically drunk af. Lithuanians after game were saying how Rasho and everyone of the wort were stinking of liqueur like crazy.

Look at some of the teams they finished higher than.

Hopefully it creates interest for Murray and Wiggins to want to join them in Paris.

Murray wanted to join but his body did not. 100 percent he will be there next year

Also, all these Euro stars play too nice with regards to their NBA status; if teams like the Hawks, Mavs others don’t improve their teams, demand a trade a la Harden, Lillard et al. They are being wasted in those teams (Mavs have a closing window yeah so maybe in a year’s time, but the Hawks?)

Same, Manu, same. This two-hour gap between games freaking sucks. Not enough time to go back to bed so I'm sitting here like a zombie waiting for tip.
