Canada-Spain is a great game, SGA just put us ahead by 2.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

SGA is money. Canada wins!!! Headed to the 2024 Olympics!

 

[red devil]

Canada down by 12 going into the 4th quarter but came back to win

 

[Transplanted Caper]

What a 4th quarter. Can only imagine the stories being hastily re-written. Really, really, happy for them. A loss would have been devastating after shooting themselves in the foot against Brazil and blowing such a huge opportunity. Onto the QFs and more importantly, Paris!

 

[NyQuil]

What an exciting finish! Glad I remembered to watch!

SGA is a superstar.

Brooks came through, like we all knew he would.

 

[NyQuil]

And Wiggins is down for the Olympic only, if they qualify,

I'm not too enamored with Wiggins and his penchant for participating on the national team only under circumstances that suit him.

This is the first time SGA and Brooks has suited up for Team Canada and Murray hasn't suited up since he turned pro. I'm willing to give Wiggins a pass on that and welcome him on the Olympic team. He did represent us a few years back.

Germany beat Latvia to set up a USA-Germany SF.

Canada and Slovenia tip off here very soon. The winner will play Serbia in the other SF.

luka might be my most disliked player in the nba of the new generation. he acts like such a spoiled brat and yelling at officals etc so annoying.

 

[Tuggy]

Halftime...50-50. Back and forth so far.

Doncic with 17. Slovenia not missing much from 3.

 

[NyQuil]

Canada up by 9 after 3, but Slovenia on a bit of a run.

I know SGA was going to try for the 3 after Doncic made his.

You have to play smart with the lead. Make them foul you and keep getting 2s and FTs.

 

[Tuggy]

Canada with a 9 point lead heading into the 4th quarter.

 

[NyQuil]

Slovenia losing their shit.

 

[NyQuil]

Brooks gets himself kicked out of the game.

Doncic is kicked out of the game. This is getting bizarre.

 

[Tuggy]

Well that should do it.

Refs had enough of Doncic's whining.

 

[hockey20000]

looks like we heading to semis.. how good is the serbian team?

Well that should do it.

Refs had enough of Doncic's whining.

he is so unlikable man...

 

[NyQuil]

looks like we heading to semis.. how good is the serbian team?

Gotta lock down the last 5 minutes first.

 

[Tuggy]

Lead down to 11...Slovenia still in it.

 

[NyQuil]

A couple of big rebounds and then SGA with the clutch 2 and the harm.

Big momentum swing there.

3 straight missed free throws though.

 

[NyQuil]

Winning all of those rebounds has been the difference late.

Way to close it down in that second half Canada.

Slovenia just fell apart.

 

[Tuggy]

Great win!

Whole team played well.

 

[stats1]

SGA is an absolute superstar!! My goodness, what a game! What a win!!! Let’s go!!!!!!

Gotta say Luka needs to stop whining after every play, this is what happens when the NBA refs are too soft to toss guys for yelling 100 times at them during a game. FIBA refs aren’t like that. All game Luka was on the refs snd he finally got tossed. Really wish the league would come down harder on guys just crying after every possession
