Olympic Games Basketball

Watching Caboclo for Brazil. Still clumsy running around but setting some nice hard screens on France.

Looking forward to seeing the Canadians in their opener.

France has some real issues. They were bad at the World Cup and in preparation. They’re likely 4 years away from being a real threat. Even with a very favourable whistle, they are struggling.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Caboclo in foul trouble and the lead disappears.

Yeah some dodgy ref calls there. Wemby looked great though. He’s got a bright future ahead.

France by 2028 will be an absolute powerhouse with Wemby and all the young talent they got coming to the nba.

It was on TSN 1 for me.

Man I wish we signed Nando De Colo a decade after he tore up the Euro leagues. Would have been fun to see him play as a mature player.

It was just too soon…

Canada has done a good job of responding to Greece's runs
