Sloukas really should've played

Walkup & Calathes are awful, get them out of the game before it's too late. Can't shoot, can't pass, can't play D.

This Greece team is pretty bad... They don't have anybody who can beat Canada's defenders off the dribble other than Giannis... Sometimes.

Granted, Canada has some of the best perimeter defenders in the world... I'm surprised the game is as close as it is.

Just tuned in and saw SGA travel to get over half court. Some things never change

As far as I'm concerned, Kalaitzakis should play the rest of the game.

Oh, and Giannis is amazing. That is all.

Giannis mvp season loading. Man

Powell cannot stay on his feet. For rebounds, defense, anything lol

Barrett looks really good tho. It's easy to forget how big he is

He's earned some praise for sure. That was a nice defensive possession

Canada is hella fouly.

Trey Loles...

Canada is so undisciplined lmao. They should be able to challenge the US. They have no excuse for having the game so close although Giannis is the best player in the game imo, this Greece team is awful

Giannis with 25

Canada needs better bigs, Lyles and Powell are not it.

Post #455 » by **G R E Y** » Sat Jul 27, 2024 8:28 pm

Greece just can't get back into it...

Canada just dont have the bigs to medal. Rebounding matters

hippesthippo · Post #457 » by **hippesthippo** » Sat Jul 27, 2024 8:30 pm

Nobody in Canada can stay on their feet I guess. It's like watching a team full of Javale McGees bouncing around the floor.

Post #458 » by **G R E Y** » Sat Jul 27, 2024 8:32 pm

Greece over relying on the 3...

Was that the NBA on NBC theme or am I hearing things?

Walkup is somehow -26 so far.

Who wins the Men's Basketball Tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics?
