They crushed them. Wondering how they lost to Turkey at this point.
Also in other FIBA news, Germany made the Olympics with Roy Rana as their coach.
Naw. I told you all about Nurse and everyone said I was crazy. You're gonna have to eat this one.Now you guy are seeing the light. He can't develop young talent and he's very rigid with his game plan.

Yea the fact that Rautins and Triano got so many chances and Rana eventually got skipped over after his interim run when he had a hand in actually developing a lot of the dudes is another blemish on Canada ball. Rana a bigger legend to me than those guys personally. He should have gotten more time.
You're just hating.We pushed Boston to the limit in 2020 and got rocked by covid in 2021.
He has flaws, but GTFOH.

Roy Rana while not a big time NBA head coach (he is on the Kings assistant staff still if I remember correctly), he had a pulse and relationships with guys. Nick Nurse has a chip but he was just cut and pasted in and expected to deliver shyt. It's easy for me to talk shyt now after the fact but even still. There's a process that goes into building a strong international program and we don't have the raw talent (yet) to brute force through that. It's not NBA2K or NBA Live where we can put a bunch of dudes with numbers in, hit simulate and walk out with shyt.

And Sonny Bairos is the biggest troll in Toronto basketball. He's just a hater. Funny some times but you can't take what he says serious.
