Wrote about the very different tournaments that Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert are having, and how the sand is always shifting in international basketball. Plus: CANADA! open.substack.com/pub/ziller/p/e… pic.twitter.com/d4zxO6tTAg – 8:47 AM

Once the sentiment shifted against Rudy Gobert, everything’s gone wrong for him. It’s unbelievable. Can he turn his career around at this point? – 2:37 PM

Big CONCACAF energy in that France-Latvia 4th quarter between the DeColo ejection and the late foul on Gobert, but also holy crap was France’s 4th quarter offense a disaster. – 1:25 PM

Can’t believe a team led by Rudy Gobert, Evan Fournier and Nic Batum flamed out in a basketball tournament, gonna need some time to digest this. – 12:25 PM

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

Christos Tsaltas: BOOM! France – Latvia 86-88. Latvia remains unbeaten (2-0). Just imagine how far they could go if Kristaps Porzingis was available. The Luca Banchi effect! #Latvia #FIBAWC pic.twitter.com/7XTK7uOQR3 -via Twitter @Tsaltas46 / August 27, 2023
Canada parlayed a monster 27 points, 13 rebounds, and six assists from star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander en route to a dominating 95-65 victory over Rudy Gobert and powerhouse France on Friday. Leading by just three at the break, Canada won the second half by a 27-point margin, putting the game completely out of reach in its World Cup opener versus their Group H foe. -via The Score / August 25, 2023
