Canada has a few NBA role players, a few guys who won't be in the NBA much longer, some okay European players, and a 17 year-old. Heslip, who turned 26 a couple weeks ago, was the oldest player to see action today. Half their team has two years of pro experience or less. It just amazes me that people expect them to destroy a Turkish team which may not a medal contender, but still has five players from the 2014 WC quarterfinalists (with Osman developing a lot since then) plus two more solid veterans in Erden and Dixon. Like I said, there was certainly a time on this forum when no one would have expected much from this Canadian roster, so it is interesting to see how things have swung in the other direction.
From a fan's standpoint, I certainly understand that you always want your team to play better.
