In Episode 1688, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob react to the Canadian men's basketball team hanging on to beat Spain 88-85 on Friday to move them to a perfect 3-0 in the Group of Death at the Paris 2024 Olympics, with a likely quarterfinal date with the host nation France awaiting them on Tuesday. Off the top, Sean and Vivek dig into their biggest takeaways from Canada's win over Spain, including RJ Barrett's monumental late-game dagger from the left corner, Andrew Nembhard's outstanding performance, and why Canada taking care of business in three tight games should provide plenty of hope for Canada's ability to navigate the knockout rounds, even though Jamal Murray really needs to get himself right if a surprise gold medal run is to be a serious possibility. Next, Sean and Vivek examine the potential matchup with Victor Wembanyama and France in the quarterfinals, which is the most likely outcome for Canada barring a South Sudan upset over Serbia on Saturday. Lastly, Sean and Vivek run through The Good, The Bad & The Hmmmmm from Canada's third group game on the men's side, and take some time to talk about a disappointing start to the tournament for the Canadian women's team, who are in need of a win over Nigeria in their final group game and some help if they're going to advance to the knockout rounds next week.
