OT: The Official Toronto Raptors Thread

[Deckie007]

Canada down 7 to France in the 3rd Q. Still a chance!

 

[Deckie007]

Down 5 at the end of the 3rd. Should be an interesting 4th.

 

[Metalleaf]

Come on Canada! If Brock Lesner can do it!

 

[Deckie007]

I don't know how they are hanging with this French team, they are seriously outgunned. Still down 5.

I don't care for Leo Rautins or this Middle School utility ball that's being used.

Parker and Diaw are too good.

What does Leo have to do with it? Lol

 

[HabsFan1]

This country not getting all their support is a huge issue.

Also picking certain guys over others. I mean this team has been terrible behind the arc. English is at home nailing 3's all day long.

 

[MindzEye]

Would have been nice if our best players all showed up for this tourney...

He's talking while the game is going on

Nik Stauskus is sitting at home, no?

So much this.

Wiggins means a win

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Frankly, i'm stunned Tristan IS playing

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Tony Parker is good at this game

 

[HabsFan1]

Ok. Lol. I was thinking you meant as coach lol

 

[HabsFan1]

Nik Stauskus is sitting at home, no?

Playing summer league for Philly

 

[HabsFan1]

So disappointed in the country's top players that are not there.

Wiggins, Powell, Murray, Nicholson. And the list goes on.

 

[MindzEye]

and Olynyk, Stauskas, Powell, Nicholson, Murray, Lyles, Sacre...

The rotation should look like this:

C: Olynyk/Anthony
PF: Thompson/Powell/Nicholson
SF: Wiggins/Bennett
SG: Murray/Stauskas
PG: Cojo/Ennis

Or something similar....it's kind of ****ing shameful how much NBA talent isn't at this tourney for us.

 

[HabsFan1]

Yeah it's terrible to say you should be at olympics but players don't show. No scrubb should even be mentioned when it comes to this team.

 

[MindzEye]

The only silver lining for me, assuming they don't come back to beat France is that it's probably the last time in a long time we'll need olympic qualifying to get in at the last minute. The gang of talent coming through for Canada now and over the next few years should run a rape train on the FIBA Americas every 2 years for auto qualification. A 1 point loss to ****ing Venezuela is what has us in this situation.

 

[Metalleaf]

Really hope they don't Canadian soccer us.
