Subject: Senior Canadian Basketball National Team

Poland losses to Italy...once again playing some 4th and 5th stings. That puts Italy only 1 game behind us

Nice win, things are getting interesting with Italy beating Bulgaria.

This next game against Italy is huge..if we lose its very possible us Italy and Bulgaria ends 4-4 with 2 teams making it.

So strategy...place our players families in protective custody...I mean it is the Italians after all

Lol

Damn lost by 1 point today

I know that feel:

Lost, but still qualify as 3rd seed, was a super close group

Bulgarian manager must be choked. They beat us twice, and now they sit down.

Italy lost?

wow...czech, slovak and polish. Brazil aint no slouch either, didn't give us much of a chance with this pool

This is the hardest part, Canada(senior) never win a game in final round. We can set a record by doing so, will be interesting .
Many of our opponent, apart Slovakia do not saved energy.

- Czech used lot of energy. They played twice at H against Croatia and lost + they lost 1 again Sweden while playing high half the game. They played VH agaisnt Austria in 1st game (H an N in second). They even played 2 quarter VH against Belgium and only saved energy in the last game.

- Slovakia however played almost all the tournament at VL or L, only 2 games against the Belarus where they played Normal. They saved a lot of energy.

- Poland, we know them well and good thing, we won a game against them when they played VH (they played both game VH against us). They even lose a game against Denmark playing N and H. They almost played VH (few time H) all the Qualification. If there is a team we could beat, this is the one, but given their depth, they may have saved key players energy (or they just have a bad manager).

- Brazil, another team who played VH almost all the qualification and they even lost 3 games ina row, barely qualified.

-Lituhania, very dangerous, but tired, win all their games but played VH most of the time (with some H).

Good luck Folks!

Poland played all 25 of their players in the initial round, we will see if they do the same. Personally I think using 2-3 per position is the most the should be used (depending on depth) but oh well.

We have a chance again Lithuania, Poland if the play a weak lineup and a very slight against Brazil. Other 2 I don't see it

Tough injury to Daniel Gilbert

Congratz

First senior Canadian win ever in this round- congrats!

Thank you. These teams are very good with depth
Canada has a few good players, but we can still not fill a full line up. Our older players seem to be the best option still at some of the positions.
