SGA got shoved at the end and wasn’t a fan. Interesting ending

Great game, congrats Canadafolk!

All those missed free throws from Greece were really the difference.

I've never seen Shai get heated like that. Dude on Greece must have done or said something real out of pocket.

Canada talking trash at the end. Where is the Olympic spirit?

Lol that was just a horrible call. Slight hand on hip that didn't affect the play at all. FIBA refs are just a joke.

Number 5 for Greece takes a cheap shot. Refs do nothing.

Tough loss for Greece, Canada has a lot of talent & it was surprising how close the game was. Missed FTs and some stupid mistakes.

The Greece guard elbowed him at the end.

Slam right into a Canadian player ‘accidentally’ at the buzzer.

Figure it out NBC

I tried using the cock but it ran slow…switched back to cnbc and never been happier

I might have to see if I can find it for the next live game. I wanted to watch the France / Brazil replay just now --I haven't been around to see any of the Olympics-- and right underneath the game video is a highlight video with the headline "France dominated Brazil." :waaa:

do not put France with US and Serbia, and Canada beat them by 12 last week

Yea, that call made no sense. Giannis was by far the best player on the court tonight

France is much better than Serbia lmao. You can’t be serious.

Canadas offence was frustrating at times. It seems like they’re not even running any sets just give it to SGA and let him break down the defence. I’d love to see some Okynyk pick and roll with SGA or Murray.

durden_tyler · Post #520 » by **durden_tyler** » Sat Jul 27, 2024 9:14 pm

That Giannis foul was really, really thin. These FIBA refs are as bad as NBA refs.

SGA saved Canada as usual.

Remember Australia won by 12 vs Spain (who are expected to go 0-3 in this group)

This was a disappointing 7 pt win if it comes down to point difference, for Top 2 tiebreakers and all other tiebreakers.
