00:00An upset yesterday, JY. That host nation bump is nothing to trifle with. France upsetting the
00:10Canadians. Canada had the second best price entry in the Olympic Games to win a gold medal,
00:14considered a medal favorite in a large way. They are sent packing in the quarterfinals by France.
00:21French team winning outright as a seven and a half point dog, 82-73. And Germany continues
00:28its perfect run over in the Olympic Games. A big victory over Greece, 76-63, covering as a seven
00:35and a half point favorite. They're a perfect four and O. Of the other results yesterday in the
00:40quarterfinals, what stands out to you the most? That a team like Canada, who was supposed to be
00:47our biggest competition, just really, you know, what the bet. To me, it was interesting with France,
00:53you know, announcing early on in the day, think about it out for the game, that Rudy
00:57Gobert wasn't going to start neither with Evan Fournier. And it kind of went, and it kind of
01:01switched up the rotation. And it was, you know, if you would have said to me, hey, coach, seven
01:06points by Webb and Yama, I'd be like, France lost by 20, right? But Yama Sally, Fournier off the
01:13bench, like these guys stepped up and hit shots. And it's crazy because Evan Fournier is this guy
01:18that like can't play for the Knicks, can't play for the Pistons. And then he gets to the Olympics
01:22and he all of a sudden he just starts playing great international ball. So I thought that was
01:26really important to see France come out and play that. I think that's exciting for that home crowd
01:31to see their team who they thought, and I thought was going to be really the USA's top contender for
01:36a gold medal, actually show up and play their best game, particularly on the defensive end of the
01:41floor without Rudy Gobert. I thought yesterday also first game of the day between Germany and
01:48Greece. I looked at the team total of 77 and a half for Greece and I was like, am I missing
01:54something? A team that scores didn't score more than 77 points at all during the tune-up games
02:00playing against a team in Germany playing as well as anybody, let's be honest, besides the USA,
02:05of course, they got that game into a half-court game, a Greece team that shot the ball two out
02:11of three games under 30% from three. They built the Giannis wall guys, which is you make Giannis
02:17have to drive the lane where a lot of people run and force teams to shoot the ball from three.
02:22Well, what did Greece do? They threw up a whole bunch of bricks. So Germany's on to the semifinals
02:27and I think they're an intriguing team because of the guard play that they present in Germany is
02:33something that the whole thing could be a struggle because I think at the end of the day, guys, I
02:37think the team with the best guard play is the team that wins the Olympics. That's why it's us.
