Canada didnt rise to the ocassion and choked. France wasnt even that great either. You can't blame the reffing, but it's still fun to trash it. Few things I'd never seen before. U can charge into a player but still get the basket counted...u can alley oop air ball a shot, catch it..land and then put it in. Fiba gone fiba

Let’s not reach that far, if we base that on this game we’ll also say Fournier deserve some NBA minutes. LOL

In retrospect, Canada might have been better with Wiggins rather than Murray. Big brain move by Kerr paid off.

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.
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

Booker being aggressive early on is nice! Also Curry gets a couple of layups to start off. Bron doing a good job moving the ball and train wrecking everyone on the drive

Wasn't someone on here going to do a bunch of push ups if Canada didn't win gold?
