Canada up 48-38 on Greece at halftiime in Paris. A really, very strong half. RJ has 13, SGA 12, Brooks 11. And Dort’s defence on the ball eats seconds off the shot clock for Greece and has been an enormous issue – 3:56 PM

Early Olympics notes…
1. The Gold Zone is nice
2. Actually like Eagle and D Wade collectively
3. It’s enjoyable to be reunited with so many failed NBA Draft picks
4. It’s good to have the ability to root in opposition to Dillon Brooks once more.
5. I missed Giannis and Wemby.
6. Handball! – 3:56 PM

On the half, Canada leads, 48-38.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has been dominant with 16 factors, three rebounds and two assists, however Canada is overwhelming the Greek guards to date and preserving Greece from persistently entering into good offensive motion. – 3:55 PM

The method for Greece is fairly easy: Giannis Antetokounmpo dominating bodily on the rim and spraying passes out to shooters.
When the photographs are falling, Greece can keep on with Canada. However Canada is up, 39-34, with 3:04 left within the first half. – 3:45 PM

That is alleged to be Jamal Murray’s lineup but Lu Dort has been extra assertive with the ball up to now. Lack of scorers minus SGA will probably be Canada’s greatest weak spot – 3:35 PM

Canada doesn’t actually have the dimensions for Giannis Antetokounmpo and he’s drawn loads of fouls on Canada early on this one, however Greece must get into their motion faster to reap the benefits of Antetokounmpo’s measurement.
