What was the head coach of Canada thinking by putting in Zach Eden? It showed why he's going to be undrafted, he is just way too slow. Basically blew the lead against the US in the 2nd quarter.

Canadian broadcast just said they're ill, along with Brandon Ingram.

Really strange substitutions that completely opened up the game for the US

Quickly becoming my most disliked player.
If the phantom ‘we need a white American star’ NBA fouls weren’t bad enough.
Reaves has been elite at drawing fouls in college too. Your big red bias is showing

Brooks with 60/58/81 shooting splits in this World Cup (including this game).

US double teaming Brooks is not something I thought I would’ve seen pre tournament

Brooks is insane under FIBA rules, that shorter 3pt line is really up to his liking and is physical enough not to care about the clogged lanes.

You guys saying Halliburton over Brunson, he looked flashy against the average teams they beat and looked lost against Germany when it mattered and inexperienced today against Canada when it matters.

Imo SGA, Brooks and Barrett generally performed well. Some inconsistency here and there, especially with Barrett, but overall they did an awesome job. They simply lacked depth.
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.

Well earned foul. Loving the unsportsmanlike fouls and quick ref decisions.

It's interesting watching both these teams play one another. You can see the familiarity with individual tendencies and team style of play. There's a comfort level apparent.
It also doesn't look like they're going 100% at one another. It's more don't get injured level than cutthroat game 7 finals level.

In these tournaments coaches generally give weaker players an opportunity every now and then, as opposed to the NBA or pro overseas leagues where guys are getting paid and if you don't play for 30 games in a row, that's just what it is.
Edey was -11 in just two minutes of play. The coach tried, but, as you said, dude is unplayable.

USA had 3 guards down low when Olynyk got the O boards. Wow.
