Where is the passion? It seems like Canada just doesn't know how to compete at this level yet, like the game means nothing to them. Argentina is laying it all on the line. Canada acts like they are playing Playstation in some dorm room or something.

Advertise Wiggins as the face of Canada basketball yet don't use him. Excellent.

For the international game, he certainly isn't. But that's no surprise.

Team Canada is an embarrassment. Goes to show you that these NBA super athletes aren't **** when they don't have the protection of NBA officiating. **** frauds.

this loyalty with Jay T as the must-be coach will always puzzle me! Wiggins looking like a regular player, Scrubb looked better out there than Andrew! a Disgrace!

What has Jay Triano ever won without peak Steve Nash? I'd rather have Roy Rana coaching this team.

Roy Rana isn't that great either. All he does at Ryerson is recruit athletes.
