Canada got away with that small frontcourt (big + Dort/Brooks) most of the games this tourney and France looks prepared for that. i wonder if they will be forced to go big-big now with the French grabbing the big 1Q lead.

Best time to bet for Canada now. Live bets on Germany and Serbia were rather profitable earlier today. :D

Yea I want to but the site I used doesn't even have this game up. Annoying because they had every other game I looked at before this.

Picked Canada to win this game (though France covers) but i want to see a RealGM meltdown with all the Canadians here so that'd be a lovely sight. LOL

These games can change fast, I expect Canada to close this gap.

Wemby does at least 1-2 things per game I'm not sure I've ever seen before, at least at that size. That was a Larry Bird play -- steal from behind, around-the-world dribble, assist to cutting teammate -- at 7-4.

Crazy that Canada is getting worked like this. That team is way too talented.
