State of the Union. Team Canada Basketball. (FIBA Americas Aug.31-Sep.15)

[Billy Shears]

Looking at the mins played for the bigs, (Bennett, Olynyk, Powell, Ejim, Nicholson) they combined for about 90 minutes.
So unless my math is total **** (definitely possible) wouldn't 1 of those guys had to have played SF for at least 10 minutes?
Based on 80 mins available at C & PF obviously.

Can't imagine of those 5 guys it would anyone but Ejim at SF, but I guess the guys who had a stream would know better than me

I think they were really testing Scrubb. He played most of the game. I personally thought he was pretty awful. Took way too many shots for a PG and his defense was not good. Laprovitolla is way better than him and blew by him on a few occasions ending in easy shots/fouls. Hanlan looked a bit better but it seemed they were also testing Brady Heslip as backup PG.

Wiggins dominated. Before the biggest play of the game, they showed Jay Triano in the huddle and he basically goes "Stauskas in the corner, Wiggins up top, iso. Considering how well we were moving the ball during PanAms I'm surprised Jay went with an Iso for the biggest play of the day. Needless to say, Wiggins hit a clutch J on a face up to ice it. On the possession before that, he attacked hard and got fouled. You can tell the Argentinians were on their heels when we'd run a play for him. This really changes the dynamic of the team.

The minutes played on the FIBA boxscore are wrong (the total adds up to more than 207). I think they overstate the minutes for Bennett and Ejim.

I hope Hanlan gets more of a chance the rest of the tournament - both at the 1 and the 2.

Well done Beatbox. Well done.

Game today is against Brazil at 5:45pm ET. Broadcast on livebasketball.net (hopefully they fixed their problem: subscription servcie ~$8 per month or $20 for 3 months) or find it on DirectTV.
Check back a few pages for the "free" streaming link that worked for some people (didnt for me).

Thanks. So were facing Brazil today, but what time is the game on? What is 17h45? eastern time?

I think it was Mark Twain who once said "it is often better to keep yer mouth shut and seem a fool rather than open your mouth and prove it".

I was asking if it was eastern time, not what 17h45 was. No need to be snarky.

[Undefeated]

Anyone know anything about Jonathan Kabongo? Heard he played well this summer and XRM's brother is attending BCSS this year.

[bokbok]

Are there any highlights on youtube?

Alright, my apologies - that was uncalled for. Yes, correct 17:45 ET.

I have not seen any, although a highlight package exists for BR vs. PR - the second game yesterday. I think FIBA/Live Basketball had technical difficulties for the entire CAN v ARG game. Livebasketball said they would post a replay of the game last night, but still have not done it. Again an archive or the BR v PR game exists. FIBA may have blown their entire record of the CAN v ARG game - or perhaps we see it in time.

Thankfully if they got the BR v PR game working yesterday they should be good for today's BR v CAN game.

Per Wolstat, Olynyk will be getting the day off against Brazil today.

Brazil lost by 13 to Puerto Rico yesterday.
