TOUGH ROAD AHEAD

Team Canada
After nine rough tune-up games, some nasty defeats and injuries along the way, Team Canada tries to recover lost ground as they open their campaign in the FIBA World Championships against Lebanon, according to FIBA.com. The Canadians lost by 74 points to Greece, to Turkey by 31, to Argentina by 15 and to Lebanon by 12. if that is not enough, Andy Rautins,  Jermaine Bucknor and Aaron Doornecamp are still hurting plus NBA vet Matt Bonner’s second citizen rejection has given coach Leo Rautins some sleepless nights heading into Instanbul.

“It’s been a grind. Playing six games in nine days, including a total of about 24 hours of travel on the off days and practice, and it’s not easy. We just tried to get through the Lebanon game with no more injuries, gather information and try to get healthy and prepare for our next meeting when it counts.”
