Gobert leading Canada for a comeback

[G R E Y]

Wtf is Gobert doing out there? Use your body. Screen. Seal. Box out. You have one job.

**** scrub Gobert Canada obviously makes a comeback with him on the court

[durden_tyler]

Still seeing a Canada comeback. i think they just have to pressure the ball more and get those easy transition baskets and they'll be in this game.

I am just lurking this game here and there, but based on stats, I would have Kelly more for Canada maybe? Maybe they need to space France bigs out of the paint? These guys cant score.

Lessort looked better. Victor getting second so early was huge.

Wemby does at least 1-2 things per game I'm not sure I've ever seen before, at least at that size. That was a Larry Bird play -- steal from behind, around-the-world dribble, assist to cutting teammate -- at 7-4.

If Canada completes this comeback, we'd have three big comebacks in the first three quarterfinal games. i believe Serbia came back from 24 points down (biggest in Olympics), Germany i thought was down 15 or so and this France team took the early 15-17 pt lead too.

Didnt know but Serbia coming back from 24 is the biggest comeback win in Olympics basketball history

[durden_tyler]

Canada's defensive pressure up a notch, and should be all the way to the backcourt for rest of the game and they got this comeback win.

So good. His agility is insane.

Dillion pulled a chair on Lessort receiving a pass, that was very high IQ defensive play.

That reach is a glitch.

[Slacktard]

Gobert -5 in 2 mins and the only French player with a negative +/- lol

[durden_tyler]

For France, they should not panic and retain this kind of confidence because when that pressure is up, all you need is to counterattack quick.

[durden_tyler]

Looking good for France +7.5 and Under bets. Hopefully this struggle in scoring continues in the second half but Canada makes a comeback so we'd still get that probable Canada vs USA gold medal match.

[durden_tyler]

France has now missed how many free throws? 6? 8? They'll look back at these misses if Canada comes back from this game.

[UcanUwill]

Maybe I am imagining things, but Murray looks overweight to me.

[Whateva]

Another ghost foul...
