What’s the main reason why Rudy Gobert has so many haters? – 11:50 AM

On the plus side for France, it’s probably gonna be easier for them to sell Rudy Gobert on coming off the bench for Victor Wembanyama and Joel Embiid next summer after this debacle. – 11:36 AM

I am cackling watching the chemistry between Gobert and Nando De Colo pic.twitter.com/SILMauIKk6 – 10:48 AM

Olynyk (who leads Canada with 8 points) takes a Gobert elbow to the head. Ruled an unsportsmanlike foul after review. – 10:00 AM

Jon Hamm @JonMHamm
biggest question I have for the World Cup: which French teammate is Rudy Gobert most likely to punch? – 9:41 AM

Canada getting set to open the FIBA World Cup vs Gobert & 5th ranked France this AM. Tough test & important game right out of the gate. A win sets them up nicely (results carry over). Lose, and they’re playing catch up for the rest of the tourney (they’d likely have to win out). – 9:02 AM
