We should be able to beat France with our guard/forward depth. But where they are strong (frontcourt), we are weak. So it should be interesting.

Very nervous for this game - we should win but you just never know. Has to be a Top 5 game for us in terms of importance in the last 20 years.

Hopefully the lads 3’s will be kind to them today. I reckon the paint will be a tough drive today.

Win or go home. This is the biggest game for us since game 6 of the potential 3-0 comeback against Philly in 2022

Unless he is pounding it inside, a strong guard (like Brooks) who makes it harder for Wemby to get to his spots is just as capable at disrupting Wemby. Obviously a mobile big would be nicer, but Brooks could do a decent job.

Wemby likes to operate more outside/in than inside/out.
He would get to his spots pretty easily against Edey and potentially tear him apart.

The home crowd is going to be insane.

It's winnable but hard to predict. France did look shaky in the groups.

Wemby took off when the Spurs moved him to centre, he does better against other centres. I don't think Edey would be successful guarding Wemby at all, but he would be helpful keeping him and Gobert off the boards.

Hopefully Brooks and Dort are able to stay out of foul trouble.

Canada are 8 point favourites. I'm not sure about all that, but we SHOULD win. Let's go boys!
