He's probably talking to his boys right now about Katya being nothing more than a 6.5, so definitely.

Need aaepps20 review of his form and footwork
Herro Chan just proved that he is more than just his Gundam. That Right uppercut would put anyone down but based on the power he is gunning for James "Jimmy" Butler and I'm very proud of him. That's the fight I want to see.

it'a pretty simple really, i said this before but
Canada basketball is fatally flawed.
our players grow up playing basketball in the American system,
they develop American sensibilities...
and like most American players they are don't feel a burning desire to represent their country unless it's the Olympics.
For America, that's fine, team USA is an all star team, Kevin Durant, Lebron James, Steph curry ect can roll out of bed and stomp any fiba team by 30+ points.
Canada does not have enough talent to do that.
Andrew Wiggins, Lugentz Dort, Trey Lyles, RJ Barrett are not going to show up a week before the tournament, play zero friendlies.
and go against a czech team that has probably been playing together since they were like 16 and just out talent them.
and until a group of 8 dudes commit to playing, every god damn summer.
we will never do anything worth a danm in international basketball.
A hastily assembled team Canada cannot consistently beat fiba team's who've been playing together for their entire lives.

TBH Id MUCH rather have just one NBA player, SGA or Jamal Murray, and 8 European pro Canadians, who commit to play every summer for the next four years.\
than an "all star" team of journeyman NBA players,

nah that's not an excuse any Canadian player with talent, can play auu ball, and/or play at a prep school in the US and develop.
Canada has more than enough talented basketball players to compete.
the problem is Canadian NBA players only want to play when it's convenient to them,
when in reality success internationally requires sacrifice.

That def was a horrible loss by Canada tho, losing to Jan Vesely at home

Jan Vesley is an very good C in the euro league
and has been playing with Tomas Satoransky in every Euro basket, an every qualifying tournament. every youth tournament since they were both 16 im guessing?
Center rotation of Trey Lyles, Dwight Powell and Andrew Nicholson don't have enough talent to overcome that much experience + chemistry.

I’m theory Wiggins/RJ/NAW should be good enough to overcome that tho right? …They almost did but like you said the Czech team was just too tough all game

Add Jamal Murray to that I would say yah.
without him...well you saw the result.
ultimately nice that Wiggins played, but it's too little too late. and now we're prob gunna lose Nick Nurse.
this whole thing is a waste of time. they need to make a rule.
either you commit for every summer for the next 4 years barring injury or contract status or don't play period.

They got dominated on the interior and that Czech coach had some awesome half court sets.

Yea those big Euros play different, the NBA cats probly ain’t used to it
But
osh kosh bosh
the multi year commitment sounds good but don’t think it’s seen as that “prestigious” yet to play for Canada to be alienating folks and laying down ultimatums

Canada got eliminated by Tomas Satoransky.

Team USA still occasionally finds themselves in a real game.
Canada definitely requires more continuity.

The good Team USA squads still get pushed by the Spains/Serbias/etc of the world. Canada has a fraction of their talent. Definitely susceptible to catch an L against some of these countries with a ton of continuity.

Good alienate them. I don't want them.
I'd rather RJ and 8 solid commitments then these dude that get a hang nail, or they'd rather hang out in South Beach all summer and then can't play.
Steve Nash and a bunch of European pros made the Olympics and finished 5th I believe.
Steve was paying outta pocket to upgrade the whole sqaud to first class plane tickets.
I'd rather recreate that, than have a bunch of entitled superstars who only get up when an Olympic birth is hanging by a thread.

I don't know much about boxing but these punches look... OFF
I still believe in Herro. I think he can redeem himself after a down year. Looking doubtful that it'll be with Miami though
