     Barrett is that dude Captain

     Canada  SGA, Brooks had another good game too 

  7. WagonStealer

    What a massive game from RJ and the boys, the defence on this team is actually scary

  8. Playing for Canada has finally made RJ become StarJ

  9. Barrett really showed out today. He’s the dude

  10. ElvinKao

    Defense really ramped up in the 2nd half and just stopping initial Giddey action.

  11. Moostronus

    That was a fun game, a stressful game, but more than anything else a fantastic RJ game

  12. oddjob604

    Who does Canada play if they finish first? One of the third place teams?

    I really need Jamal Murray to wake up now, its not funny any more

  14. jagaimax

    RJ stat line is crazy ……………………………..
    24pts 8/14 fg 3/6 3pt 7 reb 5 ast 2 st

  15. KangarooGullible955

    Jamal has been… but I’m hoping that just because he’s trying to find his rhythm coming off the bench and taking less shots. Hopefully that ends soon.

    That goaltend call against us was going to haunt me in my dreams if we lost.

    As both an Aussie, and a Raps fan, this feels weird.

    Is RJ the most underrated 24 year-old to ever play the game? It feels like he’s been in the NBA forever. What a stud, he’s won me for life.

    RJ was a beast today. His second half was amazing, great bully ball, was able to get to the line and was pretty efficient on his shot.

    SGA is fantastic. We definitely over-rely on his ability to make tough buckets, but he always delivers. Even against tough defenses, Daniels played him pretty tightly.

    Dort was really good defensively. Brooks had a good game as well.

    Need to give a shout to Dwight Powell. We’re extremely thin at center, but he’s been balling pretty well within his role. He had 5 offensive boards as well.

  23. Love how gritty this team is. Gonna need that if we want to even have a shot at a medal/gold.

  24. Sudden_Low9120

    Is it possible for the Raptors to just rep Team Canada jerseys?

    RJ will be unstoppable then

  25. Tank_The_C4

    Muricans are so obsessed with us 🤣

  26. thistreestands

    Really loving SGA’s game. So much team first!

  27. jaydogggg

    Damnit I thought we were playing at 10. Glad we won though. Spain Is Thursday?

  28. FleetwoodsNirvana

    When Lu ripped the ball and got the fast break dunk.. I felt as if one was floating

  29. BackhandQ

    I love the physicality in FIBA basketball. It suits this Canadian Team as well.

    The Refs allow tough defense. It’s very refreshing to see.

  30. demarderollins

    Honestly can we show some love to Khem Birch? 0 minutes in game 1 and most of the first 3 quarters. Probably only made the team once Edey dropped out.

    Was in all the right places in the 4th grabbing boards, contesting without fouling, few layups

  31. bravetailor

    Canada coming back against Australia 2x in a row this morning lol. Crazy women’s Rugby game.

    SGA – he is our leader and I absolutely loved it that he lashed out during the last game against Serbia, we need to show more backbone and he not only did that but backed it up with his calmness

    Brooks – I still have no idea how he gets his shots off lol that form is whack! but he really is important to our team’s defense; let’s not talk about the particulars but one thing that I think is empirical for us is Brooks attitude on defense, after each scored basket he will immediately seek out his check and shows absolutely no fear and this attitude is more important than anything

    Nickeil & Nemhardt – them young cats can ball but they need to stop being “too cool” and take this seriously, you look at guys like Bron, CR7 and Messi, they know this shit’s every 4yrs and can’t take it for granted

    Dort – he’s doing everything he can but gets frustrated when he misses which is fine it’ll come but his defense is what’s winning games for us

    RJ – I didn’t see him being this aggressive in the league so we’d be in for a treat when the season starts, I LOVE IT! I remember one play he was half open and didn’t even think twice and dove to the basket, I haven’t that side of him in the league, he usually just chucks it up so I love this. As well, his attitude is good, he ain’t got stage fright

    Kelly – he’s a good big but sometimes he tries to be like Dirk or a passing big… dude don’t think too much just give it to our guards already man lol

    Jamal – been having a tough time but shout out to our coach for sitting him and not giving him the star treatment since he’s been playing like shit, I really hope he comes back in form cuz we’ll need everything we’ve got against the USA

    Trey – needs to be more assertive when he has the chance to shoot a 3

    Let’s go Canada!!!! Put some respect on our names!!!
