Canada vs Brazil Recap(15909)Well this turned out to be quite the game and a pretty wild ending.
For 33 minutes, Canada basically played flawless, lead by Paul Gaize making his NT team debut. We were up by 14 at one point and things were looking good. We even survived 3 flagrant fouls and Gaize even injured their starting SG. But with about 3 minutes to go in the third, things turned sour quickly.
Brazil made a little run and cut the lead to 5 going into the 4th. Suddenly shots wouldn't fall for us, we could not rebound, and their PF who sat most of the game because of foul trouble started to kill us. Moran even fouled out within the first minute of the 4th. Halfway through we were down by 8 and some idiot in the chat room said we were going to get blown out, but GM-Beanerz remained positive.
Paul Gaize started making some shots and Maja hit two 3 pointers late. Demers made a late appearance and set up Paul Gaize who made the score 107-105. TSA had a huge steal and a rebound and Canada held on an exciting 112-105 win.
Paul Gaize started his first game and scored 37 points on 16-21 shooting. Even tied for second on the team with 5 boards. Gaize has sent a warning to Issa and Mathews that their spot on the NT is in jeopardy. Other than Gaize, Maja and Abu-Kaleel were solid and without those 3 there is no way we win.
Thanks to RiP, and HPP for their input before the game. No way we win without those guy making me think. Also thanks to Beanerz, and simplycrazy for stopping by to watch the game.
