You guys really blame the refs ?

Canada has been bad the whole first quarter. And a 6'6 guard defending a 7'4 center is not a good idea

Ok, I had to google where Isaïa Cordinier plays right now, He is with Virtus, I blacked out on that. Career 29% three point shooter in Euroleague after 2 seasons...

Biased wemby fan, refs are calling ghost fouls for France just like they did when France was against Japan.

It's always the refs fault

They're playing Canada today, try to keep up

Bad officiating is bad officiating. Especially egregious on the Olympic stage

I’m sure some still images will come out after this game. I’m sorry I don’t work the play by play in Paris rn?

Refs are going to make sure that France advances.

Why is Gobert benched in non-Wemby minutes?

Post #455 » by **G R E Y** » Tue Aug 6, 2024 5:19 pm

Weather the storm, Les Blues.

Stay poised and focused.

Lessort looked way better in first half. Canada adjusted and play two actual bigmen right now, Lessort was eating good in first half.

Seems like life is hard when the refs are not cheating on your favor?
isnt it?

Canada fans are so salty, they bring Powell/Olynyk to the Olympics and wonder why they get abused in the paint
