He is still only 20, relax. Also, prime Pau had Navarro and Calderon, France only has Fournier at perimeter and he only creates for himself anyhow. I just hope Victor grows out of his softness, he needs to be in the paint far more often.

Murray and the Coach sabotaged this Canadian team today. Why is he out there? He is horrible. Easiest the worst player on the court!

It was the ultimate letdown when the hype was this was their golden generation of sorts. Wasting SGA's efforts. Offense just completely disappeared.

Yes, the bad calls affected the game but good teams play through those (Serbia for one, did not panic being down that big). Germany must be celebrating this French victory too-- Canada was the worse match-up between the two.

SGA deserved better, Murray is a straight up bum

It turns out FIBA refs are as bad as NBA refs, they just have the advantage that 95% of games they get to ref without anyone having home court. The second someone has home court they turned into NBA refs.

The NBA refs look better on neutral soil too. Like in the bubble

But mad props to NBA scrub Evan Fournier, those were some big deep shots late.

Canada really missed Maple Jordan.

Sga and a bunch of choke artists. Nembhard should’ve got more minutes, esp after his carry job last game.

Jordan will remain GOAT for long time.
Wembanyama seems not a GOAT contender. I was wrong about him.
He can not do many things against FIBA defense

Reminder that Frances only wins this olympics both have had some serious ref cooking.

Absolute joke they are even here, and a joke they won this game.

I will root for Germany in semis. The refs are helping too much the home team

Who wins the quarterfinal games on Tuesday?
