Again a high low dump into the C by Lithuania and a guard is on him down low. Oof.

Reaves is unplayable. Every single guy on Lithuania can hunt him. Guards can take him off the bounce or post him. Bigs just bury him in the post. And his offense is definitely nowhere near good enough to compensate.

Reaves is an SG, if Team USA are going to switch it's going to be ugly..

Canada is stronger and faster than Spain but it's starting to collapse.

what do you mean Reaves is SG? Yes, yes he is, but he is getting posted killed by point guard, whose yearly contract is probably less than what that disgrunted NBA twitter guy gets.

Should put in Reaves at PG to give Hali a rest.

Brunson makes them too small

Spain moves the ball really well. Canada's offensive scheme is very simple drive and kickout. Either Shai or Barrett drive and then kickout to Olynyk. But Olynyk have been missing a lot of open 3s.

Canada needs to get something from Olynyk in the 2nd half
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Lithuania is hitting everything they throw towards the basket. Unbeatable.

Foul calls on Canadians have been major factor in master 2 games. Too many weak calls.
