    Who needs Wemby when you have … *checks notes* Yabusele?

    JM no longer stands for Jamal Murray but Jokic Merchant.

  2. tito-ortiz-wife69

    murray and brooks were bad and rj got going way too late

  3. hazman_pds

    No Jokic and suddenly Jamal Murray looks like a total bum.

    Coincidence ? I don’t think so

  4. Impressive_Blood3512

    Jamal Murray is a secret Serbian sent by jokic to sabotage us

  5. Palifaith

    Jamal Murray is not beating the Jokic Merchant allegations with these type of performances.

  6. 67 FT’s in 40 minutes. What happened to the game that I love?

  7. Whatever man Shai can get some rest now for next season.

    Canada’s coach is a terrorist, actually the whole coaching staff is full of bald frauds and Jamal is washed.

  8. We didn’t even lose to Wemby, we lost to dollar store Mike James and Ben Wallace

  9. NoobGaijin

    The greatest tragedy here is having the most NBA players outside US and scoring only that much

  10. If only Canada had Jamal Murray, they could contend for a medal.

    This sub ran with the “Vincent Collet is the second coming of Darvin Ham” and “Wemby has a G-League supporting cast”, and both aged as well as r/nba takes tend to.

    Definite talent deficit for France but their non-Gobert/Wemby guys were brilliant. Great changes by Collet to overcome a talent deficit.

  12. and with that, all three group of death teams are out in the quarterfinals.

    Jamal Murray was an absolute ball stopper anytime he touched it. Even with time ticking down, had no urgency. Weird games from him and a really bad tournament. Wonder if injury worries with a big contract coming up plays a part? If he’s that concerned, then don’t come?

    4-22 on FG for Murray and Brooks, there’s your game right there Canada

  15. Yabusele, Cordinier and Lessort were the 3 best players for 90% of the game with plenty of nba players in the court

  16. jjkiller26

    France benching Gobert while Canada kept going back to Murray was the difference

    Murray and Brooks committed some of the worst olympic terrorism since munich. SGA, RJ and Dort tried their ass off to get the game close only for one of those two to take some the stupid fucking shots.

  19. Murray was sabotaging against us lol. Jordi kept going to him in all 4 games despite him looking like ass since the exhibition game vs the US.

    Sorry this is unacceptable. Canada Basketball should be ashamed of this pathetic Olympics performance along with the women shitting the bed without a single win and the women’s 3×3 choking it in 2 straight knockout games. Yeah yeah refs yada yada but it’s not like we shot well as a unit this game.

  20. tacomonstrous

    The offensive foul with a basket that counted is the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen

  21. smallskeletal

    Thoughts:

    * SGA, RJ, & Dort are the only Canada players that should feel good about how they played today

    * Canada needs good bigs desperately

    * France with both insane backcourt and frontcourt play are a tough matchup for anyone

    * Not only was Jamal Murray bad shooting the ball, but he was an absolute black hole on offense when he had the ball

    * Shout out to Yabusele, Lessort, & Cordinier. I was unfamiliar with y’alls game

  22. Turns out Canada didn’t luck out with being drawn into the non US side of the quarter finals. First game that France has looked okay in too, they did get a lot of calls their way but they had no way to defend the paint other than fouling.

    Wemby has got to get some go to post move. Even with his frame now, I know its hard for him to get position but it was food down there if he had just a simple go to move.

  23. thatgreik

    Unless the box score is wrong, Nembhard playing almost 15 minutes and not putting up a single shot is just terrible game management by Canada, especially when Dillon Brooks is putting up 9 (he shot 1/9 btw).

  24. Yabusele and Cordinier carrying France to victory as expected.

    And how can I forget Fournier the phoenix, back from his ashes ? I completely lost it when he nailed that wild three from 35ft a few minutes out from the end of the game. Absolutely incredible.
    Props to that man because he’s been made fun of and criticized for the better part of two years.

  25. I’m just here to read complaints about calls from people that don’t know the rules

  26. wobmaster

    as a german I`m not sure if i should be happy that france took care of canada for us or fearful of overconfidence and then losing against a revitalized french team

  27. Malemansam

    This is why you need bigs, canadas team was not ready for that kind of pressure in the paint and they sorely lack any sort of size from sf to centre.

    the free throw disparity even with soft calls going frances way is a result on not being able to contain that pressure.

    Yabusele was phenomenal tonight especially that first half.

  28. Rudy getting 4 minutes to avoid DNP slander was the winning move this game. Gutsy decision from the coach not to play the most accomplished NBA player on the team.

  29. AngeloMontana

    No one is mentioning how decisive Batum has been defensively by the end of the game. 🙄

    So credit to the Batum battalion 🫡
