    France just getting destroyed by Germany. Not a good historical precedent.

    Can someone explain to me why Spain is eliminated but Greece isn't, even though their point differential is identical, and Spain beat Greece head to head?

    Assuming Serbia beats South Sudan by more than 1, they'll likely get their wish

    He’s not good enough make this squad; yet. Hopefully he is one day, but someone’s going to have to light a fire under his arse.

    Meanwhile RJ Barrett has looked great, both at the Olympics and for Toronto. He’d look great next to Scoot and Shaedon. *sigh*

    But Scoot's not Canadian!?

    Yes, Shae is definitely at least fourth in line in the Canadian backcourt now (Shae, RJ, Murray) and possibly fifth, given how well Nemhard is playing. And that's not even considering Mathurin. And Lu Dort has been a good soldier for so long he's likely ahead in the pecking order too.

    Why doesn't the USA play Steph/KD/LBJ/AD/ANT together?

    USA should have sent a 3x3 team with championship experience.

    Germany Canada Serbia USA

    Heard we, USA, were the top seed. Do we play winner of a game or just lowest ranked seed?

    France could certainly beat Canada, good we avoided those teams this early. Greece is dangerous with Giannis.

    I’m sure US beats Brazil. The other 3 games you can flip a coin.
