Surprisingly muted response in Canada. Disappointed we didn't get to play for gold. I was at an evaluation camp for kids in grades 5-8 today and it showed me how things have changed. The kids were happy Canada won, but not excited. I guess they have grown up with Canadians in the NBA.
For the third time I will say I think the USA punts the WC to put pressure on the best NBA guys to play.
For some of us we recall when Canada beat the USA (with Sir Charles) in the University Games
