I know there’s a talent disparity but watching France get manhandled like that was surprising.

holy shit, we just 30 balled France.
with no Wiggins, Murray, Mathurin, Sharpe, Cojo, Clarke too.

Joel Embiid to USA confirmed lol

Some didn’t know about 3rd quarter Shai, unfortunate.

The team Canada that’s been promised is finally here

SGA is so fun to watch when he’s not dismantling your team.

Monster game from Shai. But the defense was what really stood out.

SGA IS HIM.

The rise and fall of two nations.

Shae second half came out looking like he’s the best player at this tourney
His dribbling especially seems mega elite level

Can’t overstate how massive of a win this was for Canada’s Olympic hopes.

France thought they could beat the Alexander National Team? Pathetic.

France got their shit rocked

I thought we’d win but never thought it’d be by this much. Jordi has these boys playing some DEFENSE man!!

Watching Dillon Brooks go from getting booed to receiving MVP chants was quite the experience. Also, was it just me or did the PA actually play clown music for a second there during CAN’s timeout at 2:15 left in the 4th?

If only Murray and Wiggins were on the team too then Canada could actually go undefeated
That 3rd quarter was insane by SGA and real sad by team France

France defending the paint like it’s the Ardennes in 1940

Absolutely shocking result. France now has to pray Canada goes 5-0, because if there is any 3 way tie involving France, Canada, and Latvia/Spain, France is fucked with point differential. What a disastrous start for a team who has medalled in the last 3 major FIBA tournaments since 2019

Man, nothing humbles you like watching Dillon Brooks walk all over your team. Shai was always the threat, but I thought we wouldn’t be that outmatched by the rest of the team, yet here we are.
Congrats Canada, looks like I’ll be back in the old Bulls flair by next week.

Glad I got up at 6 for this. We smoked France
rocky_iwata
Amazing hustle from Team Canada. Brooks, Dort and Powell, especially. They wrecked France in the 3rd shutting down Fournier while other France players couldn’t help him out. SGA recovered very well after an ice cold 1st quarter.
Absolutely amazing result for Team Canada.

I am Latvian so I am biased as fuck, however France looks surprisingly beatable. Especially if we shoot like we did today

statement game for Shai and Canada. really impressive win vs France

After watching Canada basketball for the last 13+ years this was the game I’ve been waiting for. So nice to finally have a rotation of NBA guys. SGA carried but the roster around him really fits his style. Wanna shout out Brooks and Olynk especially. Brooks really played within himself on offense and took the Fournier match up and shut him down.

damn i thought canada might beat france but a 30 point win is crazy

Now all I need is for Lebanon to lose by less than 30 to be able to slander France

Wasn’t expecting such a dominant win, Canada looks good this year.

Brooks plays hard. Love to see it
smoothsoul23
Nice, Canada looked dominant good start to the tournament. France was just bricking every open three they took
Doncicfuturegoat
Just a reminder that Brooks is a clown but there is a reason, he is an all-nba defender
Andy_Wiggins
Canada’s glut of top notch wing defenders was the key to this game. Brooks and Dort are elite. NAW and SGA are very good. Barrett is solid. Having that many capable defensive wings is impressive, and they absolutely stifled France in the second half.

SGA and giddey each on triple-double watch in their world cup debuts makes me extremely happy

RJ in mid season form already can’t wait to draft him again this year

Just a FYI, fanatics is the only place to buy a named canada jersey and they don’t let you buy a shai one cause his name is too long.
jimmytimmy23456
Before the game started , Who had SGA finishing with more rebounds than Gobert ?
ClutchGamingGuy
despite his shooting woes, RJ was still a net positive for the team.
