I still want him out!

I do so since 2015 ^^

You can’t blame the refs for that loss. France played a great defensive game, which suffocated the Canadians.

Feel for SGA. Nobody showed up for him in the playoffs, and nobody showed up for him in the Olympics. Tough.

40 freethrows for France...

40 freethrows is crazy, refs need to be banned from basketball forever and investigated

Jamal Murray shooting his team out of a big game yet again. Well done.

Brooks played terrible leading to his team losing and Gobert got benched leading to his team winning? This is a good day so far :lol:

Good find! So i guess they beat each other up by the KO round they were too tired or just needed to peak too early and their weaknesses exposed.

Thought their offense was the more telling factor. Their PFs just attacked Canada’s smallish PFs. When Canada was making their run, they played Lyles and the othe big and Canada had some positives going. Their gameplan was perfect, all those small PFs from Canada were in foul trouble.

I watched the fiba qualifying tournament right before the olympics and the refs were pretty great overall.

Ohh wow I'm so shocked...not. Called before the Olympics that these FIBA refs are super garbage. Also people who think Wemby is anywhere near top 10 player in the world are clowns. Winning comes with experience. If you want to win now Wemby can't be your leader. Not yet.

Came in during the second half but Canada wins that game if Murray was his normal self. They pulled within 6 with like 5 min left. Brooks and Dort seemed redundant. I’m disgusted Canada is out of this….fml

That was a hard game to watch. Definitely looking forward to France losing next game.

Wemby did not even have to score and they dominated Canada. What does that say about Canada’s performance?

i wanted a Canada comeback win, bet on it, thought it was a good bet. Apparently, Canadians fold when the stakes are bigger. Lesson learned. LOL

Perhaps. But a lot of gamblers from Europe, i wonder how many took that France moneyline (i couldn’t, did not trust them enough so settling with the spread win. LOL)
