Official Team Canada Basketball Thread

[EarlyEarly]

Breh this team had like 8 nba players, and like 6 of them started numerous games for their team this year. There is zero excuse for what happened today, even worse this tourney was in Canada.

I keep telling you guys NBA talent doesn't matter if they don't know what they're doing. These guys got 30 by a bus driver. Everybody keeps crying if Shai and Jamal were healthy it would be different. That's an excuse. Dillon and Tristan aren't here. That's an excuse. The whole entire system is fundamentally flawed.

you had 5 guys who played in the nba on the floor, against the czechs who had 1 and still got cooked

how can you look at powell/lyles who got minutes as bigs in the nba and then look at bribane or whatever that dude was called. Dude had like 17 rebounds and was killing it inside. Disgraceful

Yes Wiggins was ass in the 1st half but hes the only reason that game went to OT....ball should be in nobody hands but his at the end...

Damn I was wrong as hell about this team but if they had Murray I’d assume they would be better

balvin is 7'1 and played in the 2nd best league in the world. some of these dudes arent plumbers by any means, they know what theyre doing. add to the fact big slow centers can have more of an impact in fiba as well

Breh they just needed two more bigs. Tristan, Birch, Boucher and Clarke…just two of those guys.

We aren’t good enough to think we can beat any national team, with zero commitment for years.

Brehs never play with each other, not even a training camp, no warm up games nothing and think they can waltz in and blow out teams like team USA

We couldn’t get a single big man out there why did they cut that big 7 foot giant kid anyway? Would’ve been better than Lyles.

People gotta remember these guys are all pros and a lot of those guys could absolutely play in the NBA too

Still disgraceful for Canada

Yeah they should have kept that big 7 foot college guy

We could have used that size

Give the team to Roy Rana

He's the one that got them to qualify for the World Cup

Don't care
NBA is the best league on the world. I don't see Brazil losing to team Canada in soccer do you?
