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
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.
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.
Surprised this comment didn't get more attention, but Murray played and was absolute doo-doo for Canada:
https://denvergazette.com/sports/oly...5b9acbee5.htmlHe 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.
France Germany in 30min

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
Wemby playing really poorly
It's a miracle the gap isn't wider tbh
Jeremy Sochan would be the uncontested starting PG is he was French
That's how bad our guards are
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?
Wemby finally had some tangible plays in the second quarter ... but it still looks rough
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.
Wemby turnover after turnover lmao
Wemby with a poster
well lucky to get a tie in at the end of the first but I will take it
Is it to early or late to google #8s contract status of team France?
Impressive defense to finish the half
Let's see if we can sustain it
