    for those keeping track, US margin of victories in games that actually count

    beat Serbia by 26
    beat South Sudan by 17
    beat Puerto Rico by 41
    beat Brazil by 35

    next game against Serbia, and then in all likelihood, the winner of France/Germany

    I'll trade our olympic bball team for the much cheaper and better universal healthcare you guys have any day.
    It’ll cost you near 50% of your income on 125k or more for that healthcare. We are California without the weather and beaches. Comparable overall cost of living though. I paid 98k last year in taxes just to line up for a million dollar starter home here.

    You actually get useful things like healthcare with your tax dollars. We get field trips to go murder brown people overseas. When you factor in what Americans pay for healthcare and education and getting worse outcomes from both you guys likely come out significantly ahead.

    The 2nd quarter belongs to the 1st half. Also, funny how funny how the quarter where France has a giant FT advantage were the only quarters they outscored Canada. The. France just decide to not take it to the paint because, you know, why keep doing what works?
    You might be onto something there...

    What's your theory? Just the refs have been bought or Murray and Brooks as well?

    I thought it’s only the amount over the $$125k or so threshold. I would imagine a vast majority of people paying 30 to 35% in taxes?

    My marginal tax rate is north of 50% and my all in rate as a renter who works a banking job, with no dependents is at the higher end of your scale. After sales tax, carbon tax, and every other hidden tax I easily give away half of my income.

    Vancouver is beautiful and worth paying the taxes but Toronto and the GTA are mostly pissholes and I’d live down South in a heartbeat if I found a decent role down there.

    No theory. Just bad calls.

    Did Jamal Murray play these Olympics? I know they were down Wiggins and Eddy
    Surprised this comment didn't get more attention, but Murray played and was absolute doo-doo for Canada:

    He finished a brief tour at the Summer Games averaging 6.0 points per game on 29 percent shooting from the field, leading Canada only in turnovers, often the result of his nasty habit of aimless, over-dribbling that we’ve seen him develop in Denver.

    Often appearing lost when playing off the ball alongside lead guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, he found it far more difficult to find an open jumper without the gift of those otherworldly assists from Nikola Jokic that bless Murray in Denver.

    Among the six players that logged the most minutes of court time for Canada, Murray was the only one that finished on the negative side of the ledger in plus/minus rating, at -5.8.

    Between that and his lackluster playoff run, Denver gonna have to seriously reconsider giving him the bag

    In many ways I see Vassell’s ceiling as a Murray type when he is on.

    Americans pay state and local taxes, including property taxes and sales taxes. And then there’s employment taxes. Overall, Americans pay close to what Canadians pay in tax, with much fewer benefits.

    Only the very wealthy get the benefit of a low tax burden in the United States. If the vast majority of your income is wages, you’re going to be paying a lot of taxes here.

    Germany not making the mistake Canada did — they’re pressuring these French guards the full length of the court

    Idc what about anybody says.He needs to put on weight.He is easy to counter cause he weighs as much as a guard.Small players
    can guard him easily cause they weigh as much as him or even more.

    Gobert should not be playing against Germany, they have too many perimeter floating bigs.

    Finally ran a pick and roll with Wemby, with 6 minutes left in the first half. What is this French offense?

    Why is everyone so bad at passing to Wemby? First he got pelted in the face by his own teammate, and then they keep throwing it in awkward and unfavorable positions.
