Really? How about the countless turnovers, not being able to make point blank shots or not grabbing rebounds?

Think Triano outcoached himself on this one. Seemed to be playing weird line-ups and adjusting the whole game.

I hate to **** sound like the neckbeards, but I have to say, I take solace in knowing that the only time these banana republic people get some sense of superiority, is through what they do best: bend the rules with blatant abuse of power and corruption.

Enjoy this **** win, Venezuela and Mexico, I am still going to laugh at your **** up countries.

How do they call that a foul?!!?
theres no reason for the game to be that close, but theres no way you call a foul there

THIS COACH SUCKS, I dont care how much experience you lack....with a full roster of NBA level guys you shouldnt lose to venezuela (a team that doesnt even have some of its best players)

Triano over coaches, i listned to some of his huddles, he needs to chill and let the team play more natural and organically

So how did the whole keep Dornakemp instead of a 3rd PG thing work out?

Joseph in foul trouble.
Scrubb playing huge minutes
Lack of ball handlers results in turnovers
Dornakemp fouls with .3 lef to send them to the FT line to win the game.

Wiggins was horrific.

Such a late call..the head ref was saying game over, then Venezuela complained.

In terms of reffing that is a sorta crazy call. But I can't blame them for the turnovers.

As great as he played, Olynyk's turnovers were killer. Especially that last one where he hit the deck, tried to make a bounce pass instead of calling time.

And freaking Guillent, hit every big shot you could imagine.

Canada will be in the Olympic Qualifying tournament, and could potentially host if they make a bid for it.

So that guard who got hot like Vasquez just bullied his way past our new defensive PG CoJo.
