    Default The NBA teams are OUT of the Olympics, only America remains

    The two NBA teams, South Sudan and Canada are both out of the tournament, proving once again that ball movement and team play beats 3 point spamming and mindless athleticism.

    This doesn't make any sense?

    Playstyle.

    Canada and Sudan both play an NBA inspired style of chucking 3s and playing only athletic wings.

    Other teams play more traditional inside-out style of play with guards and big men.

    There are no NBA players on South Sudan. There are plenty of NBA players on Germany and France. The NBA MVP leads Serbia. Team USA is nothing but NBA players.

    You may be a racist. You may be a dumb ****. But please do not be a racist dumb ****. It's just too much.

    Canada was too small, five minutes longer (if the game was) they would have beat France. Probably Germany too then lost to the USA in the finals.
    They needed bigs, they did pretty well as a small team who full court pressed their way to an undefeated group of death run, but the home team, mad hyped in front of their home crowd allowed physical players like Yabusele, Lessort and Cordinier to take liberties and push the envelope.
    42 free throws in 40 minutes helped as well.
    Bully ball or the more talented US was the only way Canada was going to lose. Beat France by 30 and 15 in the previous two meetings.
    Jordi Fernandez was late to adjust, should have sent Khem Birch and Melvin Ejim and their ten combined fouls out there to knock those chubby fours from France on their ass in the first quarter.

    I'd say more that they ran into a buzzsaw. France had a great gameplan and it wasn't until the second half that Jordi Fernandez made the right adjustments. It was like getting owned by Montrez Harell types when there are simple adjustments to counter that.
    Live and learn. Canada had great players as far as FIBA goes but they were all guards or wings.
    Need beef to win this tourney.
