The team basically had basically no time at all to work together, and was easily the most dominant team in point differential in a tournament that featured 3 teams, some of which have players that have been on the team for over a decade, ranked in the top 20. There's no way Argentina would have won a final against Canada, especially if Thompson is there. Let's be real. They would have been smashed. **** happens in one game elimination formats. It just does. Luis Scola isn't going to go off for 35 points in 20 minutes every game. By the time 2016 rolls around, Wiggins is going to be the best player on the court against EVERY team besides America. Thompson is most likely going to be the best frontcourt player in 90% of matchups. Barring injury, this team will qualify for Rio, and WILL be a podium team. Folks are overrating the **** out of the European teams.

chill bruh

Hernandez got hit on one end, tried to be a big man and make a move on the other end and got absolutely destroyed by Kelly with the swat :lol:

Are the moving screens rules different in FIBA? Like Ayon never stops shuffling his feet on every screen yet the guards are getting called for fouls trying to fight through them. It's weird.

Canada is getting some great ball movement, but man missing so many easy shots (Nicholson jumphook and CoJo layup)

Olynyk had a completely overrated game last night and he's doing the same thing tonight. For everything he has produced, he has given back to the opposition with horribly timed turnovers. He just killed momentum again when we were up 7 or 8, just like he did 5 or 6 times last night. Absolutely embarrassing, I don't care how well you shoot.
