Spain lost so that no one would get kissed on the lips by their federation president
IF YOU DONT LIKE DILLON BROOK I DONT LIKE YOU 🗣️
DILLON BROOKS IS A CANADIAN HERO
Dillon Brooks is my dad
Dillon brooks.. canadian hero
Dillon Brooks cooked the entire nation of Spain respect him now
The fourth quarter was an absolute thrill
Holy fuck what a game
PARIS HERE WE COME
We are so back
Dillon Brooks take a bow what a goat
Dillon Brooks so maddening and so amazing
We play Germany right? Or Luka?
Dillon brooks saved a whole country today
Dillon Brooks legacy game
Great comeback win.
Canada needs badly size in tournaments going forward but for now it’s a huge success qualifying for the Olympics
Spain flaming out in this tourney before the quarters wasn’t in my FIBA WC bingo card, that’s for sure.
The game was crunchy for the first three, but that 4th quarter was amazing. Canada missed some *really* good looks, but played the best defence I’ve seen from them this tournament. Still struggling as a team to adjust to FIBA. Over-reliant on drive and dish, Spain throwing zone looks at Canada really seemed to frustrate them. They don’t really have a big who can crash a zone like Hernangomez. Did not mind seeing the offensive arm-bar/push-offs getting called.
Really, really impressed by Juan Nunez, hit some huge shots, crazy that he’s only 19. Aldama played great as well. Spanish offence was great overall, but the Canadian closers filled so much space, gave up so little in the 4th.
The listen ins were great (especially the hearing team Canada at the end). Commentators were… fine.
Canada v USA final still on the table.
Dillon Brooks ain’t paying for a poutine for the rest of his days
Canada to the Olympics ? Congrats
Canada becomes the first team in 21st century to beat Spain when behind by 10 pts or more in halftime
We should have given Dillon Brooks a 186 million dollar contract in hindsight
SGA is HIM. Ice cold FTs while the Canada bench couldn’t even look
Where were you when Dillon Brooks became a Canadian legend.
CANADA HAS MADE THE OLYMPICS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2000!!!
this is my franchise player I can’t believe it
Latvia pretty much eliminated both Eurobasket finalists Spain and France so logically Latvia is the best basketball country in Europe.
Im still sit here wishing Murray, Wiggins, Brissett, and Brissett played but I still like this Canada squad.
