Dunadan 1,103 Posted May 25, 2021 #62 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Canada don't even deserve to be in the qualification tournament since they never cared about international basketball, so hopefully they'll fail this time and try again more seriously in the next Olympic cycle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nenad 352 Posted May 25, 2021 #63 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I thought when Warriors were left without playoffs that finaly we'll see Wiggins playing for NT. But, they're going to be without Murray, who would probably be the biggest star on the team. They have a great team potentialy but also team is much more than collection of players on paper. Dillon Brooks is playing great for Memphis right now, he could be huge for them and with Greece without Giannis in OQT, it would be Canada's to lose.

rajiv 25 Posted May 25, 2021 #64 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I'd say Canada's biggest problem is that many Canadians -or should that be Canadian passport holders ? - don't think it is much of a big deal playing for their (so called ) national team ( true in many sports but particularly the very American ones -the women generally see it differently ) Some people see this as a plus -something along the lines of Canada being the world's first post nationalist nation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George_D 862 Posted May 25, 2021 Author #69 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Εven with Giannis, Greece will not be strong. If half of Canada's nba stars show up in OQT then Canada will easily qualify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
