    Are we sure Big Steve is going to steal Jock's job?

    Olympics Landale is legit

    I think it's arguably more about what they're good at than how good they are respectively. Adams is a better lane blocker/rim protector and is more of a secondary defensive glue guy. Jock's looking great though for sure, he may even have more value as trade bait.

    Whether we go to Steve or Jock could depend on what we need in that game. Great flexibility for Ime to have

    We haven't got an easy bucket in a week. Canada is scary defensively

    They've low-key got a squad and a half tbh. Barrett, SGA, Dort, Brooks, Murray, Olynyk...these are decent players. Impressed with McVeigh so far, looking forward to seeing him in Rockets Red.

    Australia's coach is terrible. Leaves duds on the court while not playing others. Exum heats up so he takes him off. Needs points so he takes all the shooters off.

    Brooks or Schroeder has a good chance for Silver.

    What we will likely find that we need most of the time is a bruiser who can finish down low and another guy in a brace to cheer him on from the bench.

    Wolf pack. A group of long time (childhood?) friends. I think it was explained by one of his friends on instagram or something.

    gotta say I loved Bud. Early. Had his hoops passion matched his BV passion then I would have always loved him.

    BTW - always and still like the gent. Just lacking the passion for him he lacked on the hardwood.

    Brooks playing solid again. He's such a valuable part of the Canadian team, you love to see it.
