I think Cadougen is the worst player for Canada.

At this point, I'd go with Ejim and AB and switch everything. Can't have Nicholson dropping back. But Canada relies too much on Nicholson offensively.

Anyone know why Wiggins is not playing for his country right now. Shame

If I didn't know better I'd think this was a Raptors game.

Continuity offense seems to give Canada trouble. Argentina ran something similar but their guard play isn't as good and their bigs can't space as well.

People will credit Brazil's team for scoring, but it's all coming from their PnR ball handlers. For us, Murray is just a kid and the rest of the guys can't create off a PnR to save their lives, let alone multiple screens.

We need to develop our perimeter players to have options when running a PnR and the rest of the guys to have a few pump fake shots and passes to keep the ball movement going. We need more refined team skills.

Hope Bruno and Bebe get the opportunity to receive some quality coaching with this team soon

Oh well, FIBA Americas should be fun. I'm excited to see what Tristan Thompson can do on the offensive glass w/ international rules.

At least this team got out of the first round though

Pan Am Games is warm up for the real tourney which is FIBA Americas...this game has no influence on whether or not Canada can qualify for the Olympics or not...Wiggins was only allowed to play in one of two and he chose the next more important one.
