Sigh, I feel like I'm responsible, like I jinxed it by not doing something I was supposed to.

Ladies and gentlemen, Jay Triano.

Two CIS players on the floor in crunch time, while numerous NBA players are seated on the bench.

At least we get to see the SWNT in Rio

Canada played like crap. Triano coached terribly. Then the refs had a shot to give it to them and did. Really a foul at the end of the game?!!!!

We have no one to blame but ourselves.

This feels way worse than Raptors losses. Hopefully this is a lesson for this group and next year they are on a mission in the qualifying tournament. It should have never gone like this.

We put ourselves in the position to lose, when we should not have, so hard to blame the refs on the call.... Triano overused Olynyk. Despite the points, a tired Olynyk gave us little on D and had to many needless TO's.. he needed a rest and I am sure Nicholson/Bennett could have worked for a 5 minute stretch/

Congrats to the Venezuelan coach and his passion.

That was a terrible performance. Absolutely embarrassing. Zero consolation. Get rid of Triano that was reminiscent of his Raptor teams

Was it supposed to be 3 seconds or .3 seconds? As garbage as we played that ending was a little ridiculous... need to see the replay of the foul

Big disappointment like last year Raptors

How does a team with so many NBA players lose to a team with 2nd tier talent? Embarrassing.

Kill me

Reg00 · Post #3536 » by **Reg00** » Sat Sep 12, 2015 12:53 am

Holy fuuuuuck. Well forgot all that early crap I said Ad how you make a foul like that? How is that a veteran move? That is totally, completely unacceptable to me.

They're a good team... If you're a fan of CB should support all their teams

So presumably we'lll have Tristan Thompson for the next qualifying tournament?

Overconfident. Oh well, time to freeze my account in Ballstream. Wasted my time on these bums.
