Canada's 2024 Olympic campaign kicks off tomorrow vs the USA!
For @raptorsrepublic, I took a deep dive back to the 2023 WC, analyzing the most ingenious adjustments HC Jordi Fernández made last summer.
X's and O's analysis is back!
quality photo- 8 years ago in his first season in the EuroLeague, Khem Birch fell just short of the championship to Turkish giant Fenerbahce. Today, with Fenerbahce, he's a EuroLeague Champion. Played some big minutes on the defensive end in the 4th to close out against Monaco.
- WHAT JUST HAPPENED Absolute mania at MSG to end Game 2. The refs missed Nurse calling timeout multiple times...
00:00 - WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?!?! Hali is a magician, no other way to put it
00:00I'm flabbergasted. What did I just watch? Tyrese threw it off the backboard to himself and assisted Siakam for a corner three. - The biggest shot in Canada Basketball history. Truly, a Canadian Heritage Moment
00:00 - This was quite the two-way sequences for the Barnes + Siakam duo. Fantastic 1v1 defense from Siakam vs Luka and an amazing grab-and-go layup from Barnes
00:00 - What is in the Quebec waters lol7’3 13 year old Montreal native Jeremy Gohier played in the MSHTV camp today and looked as dominant as ever Guy from my hometown who’s clearly still growing into his body, but has some really fun upside. Crazy part is that he’s still not done growing

SLAM HS Hoops - Death, taxes & RJ Barrett absorbing contact and finishing with his left. Get used to it, Barrett's strength based creation is flourishing with the Raptors.
00:00RJ Barrett has just been announced as Prime Minister of Canada - In case you forgot, there's some history dating back to high school hoops lol
00:00Scottie vs RJ matchup in the 2nd Q👀 - The Denver Nuggets have a lethal 3-man action between Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon. Ahead of Game 2 tonight, I wanted to look at how the Denver coaching staff has empowered the trio on the offensive end through clever playcalling (A thread)
- In honour of Kyle Lowry's return to Toronto, I've clipped my favourite subtle Kyle Lowry antic. Using his body to "screen" and impede defenders in transition when he doesn't have the ball. Bending the rules? Sure, but that was, and remains, the guile and appeal of Kyle Lowry
00:00 - Aside from the big shots, this Shai sequence (which was called a travel) was the most eye popping for me. Like how does a human decelerate, organize their feet and make it through a gap this small. Who even attempts something like this???? Special mover and ankle flexibility!
00:00 - Man Quickley's defense on this possession was just stellar. Stunt at Smart while cutting off the pass to the corner, max effort to spin and close out to Kennard and get the block. Reminds me of @StephNoh video highlighting Quickley's off-ball defense
00:00sheesh great block IQ
