I still love the goaltending rule in FIBA hoops :lol:

NBA really needs to get onboard with that.

On the bright side, their on ball pressure has been really good.

Gordie Herbert probably wants this game really bad bc Canada chose Nurse over him and he didn't want to be an assistant. Plus, his U23 team lost in the Global Jam to Canada due to a huge late collapse too.

This 2nd unit needs a go to option on offense.

Team always looks like a bunch of boys against men. Thought it would be different this year...

I'm not used to seeing ANYONE defend at this high a level on-ball - Team Canada or the Raptors. Refreshing to see.

I'd like him to start at this point.

Still mind blown how this coaching staff thought Brooks deserved to start over Dort. In no **** world is Brooks remotely close to Dort.

The key to these non-US matchups is Canada has to win those bench vs bench minutes.

love the on ball defense going over picks not giving ballhandler separation. but i'm afraid nba refs will call those as fouls

germany's passing is looking good. I almost expect Theis to start pulling up from 3. Mans looking like Dirk rn.

Canada heating up from 3 is key.

When Dort gets hot, you got to feed him.
