    Re: 2020 Olympics USA Men’s Basketball Thread

    Re-sign Zach and send him out recruiting on Team USA. That's how the league works now.

    Other than that Bulls thought. I think this roster is more than capable of winning gold. I probably would have liked to see at least another capable big there though.

      Between Draymond, KD, Bam and Grant, I feel like they’re good to go as far as capable bodies manning the 5 spot.

      Not to mention, most of their Guards got enough size to work the mid range to death on Offense and also switch effectively on Defense also.

          Nets’ James Harden has now withdrawn from the team to rehab his hamstring injury.

          Thoughts on the roster?
          Not bad by any means but I think they will struggle to get by Finland and Albania.

              Like I said in the other thread, this is their best team probably ever, and they aren't even at 100% in terms of the best players being there. Would be a shame to not even qualify for the Olympics.

              That Olympic qualifying spot is theirs to lose really. Simply qualifying this year would be huge for Canadian basketball and could really get guys on board with representing more often in these tournaments.

                    SGA, Murray, Thompson, Olynyk among others.

                    Those first 3 would be starters.

                      Canada with just 2 more wins needed to qualify.

                      Czech Republic (most notable guys are Satoransky from the Bulls, and former lottery pick Jan Vesely) on Saturday, and likely Turkey (notables like Osman, Ilyasova, Korkmaz) on Sunday.

                      On paper, Canada should easily win, but that's been the same story for the past few years in these kinds of competitions.

                          Damn they down to Czech Republic by 12. It's not looking good. Czech is playing a zone. And they keep falling for the trap of chucking 3 pointers up.

                            And Canadas out again. What else is new?

                            Canadian sports minus hockey really needs improving. It's ridiculous how horrible Canada is in so many sports compared to others. Especially when you look at some of the countries who are better. You can't say you're not good due to lack of money or facilities or opportunities.

                              I'm really surprised myself. I thought would of been the breakout year. Good coaching this year too with Nurse.

                              And ****... They fought in that game. I mean it went to OT.

                              Can't even complain [emoji23]

                                Even the last play of the game. You have an NBA player getting open like that from mid range for a 2 point shot and they miss. Nurse wrote up the best play they could run and it did almost work. He's done similar in the past obviously with OG last playoffs, and obviously Kawhi the year prior.
