Did Giddey out play Shai in this game? Wasn't able to watch it?

Nope
Shai picked up two fouls in the first minute so he didn't play most of the first half

Giddey had a good first half but then dort locked him up rest of teh game

Canada needs better bigs. And Jamal needs to channel his Jamaican roots and perform in the Olympics.

Yeah its a shame grizzlies didn't release Edey. Also I would have brought chris boucher over trey lyles

Olynyks fall off has been noticeable

He used to be a FIBA god and has barely been able to get on the floor

Powell, Birch and Lyles have all been atleast serviceable to me, but yeah we need at least 1 high level big to play the 5

Hopefully Edey or another young guy can be that in the future

We need like an Adebayo or AD type big not a relic center....a guy who can switch but is like 6-11 250 and can move around and protect the rim.

Boucher would be sabotaging the offense....

I think we need to either blow Spain out by like 20, or have France beat German to get the 2nd seed in the KO round

Or have Puerto Rico beat the USA (less likely but it's happened before )

Shai and RJ = MJ and Scottie

Jamal has been beyond terrible, and borderline unplayable...

And in a way, I think that's a good thing

I'm sure he's gonna be who he is atleast once, and we haven't seen it once yet

France, Serbia, Lichtenstein, etc whoever, we're getting to the semis and playing for a medal
