Maybe Scrubb shouldn't be playing a close game with 5 minutes left.

Lolynyk FTW
If you want to try to measure the elements of basketball that are supposedly unmeasurable, spend a game just watching Marc Gasol.

You can really see the same reasons Wiggins struggled at times in college. The spacing isn't there for him to be as effective

He's been having a bad game with his hands; on both sides but it's the first game.

Why are they ignoring Andrew Wiggins? The only guy who doesn't suck on our team?

Sacre needs to be part of the rotation. Good rebounding and energy out there, something our other big men cant provide

Canada could have all of their bigs cloned by three put into a small room on the moon and have a 10 foot beach ball adorned with flashing lights dropped into the midst of them from 50 feet and still fail to get a board.

The worst part of this game is that Canada seems to have no sense of urgency and little to no hustle.

Can a basketball game get your citizenship revoked? Olynk may be answering that question today.

On the bright side Canada has played terribly but somehow it's still close. Moral victories.

Flip should chew Wiggins out on the phone after this game for this 4th quarter performance.
