every time there's an international comp folks say Canada is gonna do this or that and they flop everytime

Canadian team has talent but it just a worse version of the US team

- grew up playing NCAA/NBA style of basketball
- they rarely play together
- the players don't care about winning an international competition

They never have stabilized coaching its a constant carousel NBA players do not want to tie themselves into something where theres no stability on the bench...Only one that doesnt give a shyt is Wiggins.

even so, why didn't they invite sharpe, nembhard, mathurin

i saw like 8 no names on the roster today

just a warmup

folks were creaming themselves when nigeria beat usa only for usa to still win gold.

Cocky americans think its over just like they did till laura secord dropped dem thangs on em

They sat the starters for most of the 4th quarter,if SGA,RJ,Brooks come back into this game they win by 10

Jordi Fernandez didnt give a shyt about winning the game.

When they were at OVO Centre for camp last week Sharpe was hanging around the city for Caribana....Some guys up here just dont have that fire to compete internationally...

I can tell the rest of Canada don't fukk with Dillion Brooks

It's actually embarrassing. He pulled up to play in the pro am in Toronto a few weeks ago and the crowd in there was chanting overrated. Dudes should just be happy we've gotten to the point that we can have our own pro am with numerous NBA and international players playing in it. But these guys want to make memes and shyt other people are doing to one of our own.
