Edey was 8/8 shooting for the tournament, made an impact every time he touched the floor, and probably played less than 20 minutes in the whole tourney

Pretty frustrating when we were regularly running 6'6 30 something year Ejim for stretches at the 5 throughout the whole tournament

I mean Powell is obviously way better in pick and roll defense and on the perimeter, but it's frustrating when we get killed on the boards and at the rim every big game every year, and we refused to play this 7'4 monster who's one of the best rebounders and post scorers in the world

This was unexpected.

Canada should keep this core of 7 players, and just add Murrey and others...
Usually you need more than 7 players for these tournaments, since you can't lose at all during the elimination phase.


Irony of life: Serbia would probably not have won, if Simanić didn't lose a kidney.

His message to the team before Lithuania and before this game motivated them more than anything else...


Bogdan is a true player for important games.
Nikola Jović grew into a great player.
Second unit was great.
Avramović with a great defense...

Canada has better players, but we were a better team today...
