Canada Basketball

I hear the NZ team did the Haka before the game (thats always an eye opener!). Wonder if that threw off the Canadian team lol.

The Canadian team should also have a dance, I propose shoveling snow dance.

That's racist ... or something like that.

The Canadian equivalent to the haka would actually be clubbing baby seals while "Sorry" by Justin Bieber plays over the loudspeakers.

-taking it off
-just got drafted
-was a free agent
-taking it off
-taking it off to gain weight
-injured

Nicholson also out because he was a free agent, and Robert Sacre out since I believe he was a free agent as well.

Sucks cuz we went from a potential full 12 man NBA roster to only 4 NBA players.

Venezuela did not need NBA players to qualify.

this current system is quite unfair towards euro teams, Europe should have much more than 2 direct qualifications.

out of all the many FIBA changes over the years, this qualifications system is the one i dislike the most.

besides, having teams compete and try to peak twice in a summer puts them at a disadvantage.

Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!
