Canada tightened their D up a bit. Aussies offense looks stagnant

Barrett with the dagger, Canada minus brooks deserve the win. Brooks should consider a new career. WWE or something

We could see a 1-2 triple tie in this Group.


Greece needs:

1. Canada to beat Australia.

2. Canada to beat Spain.

3. Greece has to beat Australia by at least 10 points.

Collapse by Australia now. Good team but just can’t hang with the elite squads like Canada.

I hate the contact level difference allowed vs bigs and perimeter players. How is that a foul on SGA jump shot we've seen few mins ago and how is that no call against Landale under the basket just now?

Adding Wiggins to the defensive guards Canada already has would have been really fun to watch guard.

It's always like this when any national team plays a team full of NBA players.

USA always gets that help.

Spain in their golden era always got that help.

Now Canada gets it.

Australia has too many similar players and not enough shooters/scorers (or skilled bigs). That screen by Mills on Dort was nice, though.

He was the 2nd or 3rd worst player on the court in the Canada - Greece game. Only Walkup played worse than him.
