If they don’t they’re likely facing the states in the QFs (unless they lose to Serbia)

Depends on how soon they run into team US

Possible to get to semifinals

France has wemby and gobert; USA has Embiid, Davis and adebayo.
Size matters. We have to be elite af on defence, elite in transition and then never miss a 3 to have a chance at gold. Will still be fun to watch them go up against the rest of the world regardless but we have no room for error.

No Edey, no gold.

Id be ecstatic with 1st – 2nd

Pretty good chance. Best one I have seen yet!

They’re the second best team in the tournament. With single elimination Id say 4 teams have a legitimate chance at gold. Canada being one of them.

We’re in a really tough group. But win that and a medal will be within grasp.
reekingbunsofangels
With Khem? All the way
Bixby33
There’s enough talent to win 1 game against anyone.
If we make it to the final 8, we can go all the way, or we could lose straight out.
There’s lots of swings in single game elimination.

Man the jerseys are such a downgrade from last tournament

Bronze at best, eliminated in the first knockout stage at worst.

Hey guys, do we know where the exhibition game will be broadcasted?
TrustAccording5056
We don’t have much size. Our guard and wing play is going to have to be perfect
pahamack
all the way.
after the group stage it’s single elimination. That’s a high variance tournament.

I think we need better bigs to have a real chance at gold, looking at our group I think there’s a chance we win that though.
Da-Wang
Probably bronze is best case. I don’t think the front court is deep enough to compete for a gold

Silver

Ain’t no way we’re winning gold. But should be fun either way lol

Depends on how many nuts a nut puncher can punch !!!

Silver?

Canada needs to play with the perfect strategy in order to make it to the gold medal game. I can’t remember which Olympics or which country it was, but I remember a team intentionally lost their final group game in order to enter the knockout rounds on the opposite side of the bracket of Team U.S.A.

Kinda happy ejim made it

3rd best behind USA and France

Gold

Gold is not off the table, but any medal would be more than acceptable.

Bronze is a tall order but one can hope

Going to the game tonight in Vegas. Will report back with unfounded rumours and opinions.

We were done absolutely dirty by the group alignment.
Id love a medal but Paris gave us a big fuck you!
Thought they’d be over the Plains of Abraham by now but here we are.

Podium finish, silver or bronze is realistic. With not much size upfront, wing play and our defence is going to have to be excellent!!

They can 100% get to the gold medal game against the USA, then have a 20% chance of winning it.

Best Canada team I think ever put together
Shame Edey was not allowed to join…
