  1. Yes, I feel the same I am not a big poster , but really enjoyed reading this forum for a very long time. Im my opinion, one of the best places on Internet with unique mix of people from all over the world.
  2. My bold prediction is you’ll be back. anyway, all the best in the future, at 28 life is just about to begin
  3. Deb, I would follow you to the edge of our Universe, so I 've already moved to the new forum. I was reading this forum for a very long time, since WCE era, joined a few years ago. This place is (was) unique, hopefully a new home will be the same or better.
  4. I had surgeries on both Achilles from basketball related injuries , so I feel for the guy. It is tough injury to recover from.
  5. Well, for me personally, this is a way to escape from harsh reality, so , yes, I will overreact for sure.
  6. Keep in mind that he is 36 and he won 3 Grands this season and lost in the final of the 4th He knows how to take care oh his body and mind.
  7. Unfortunately, Serbia had their best game against us, especially, on defensive side of the ball. Against today's version of Serbia , Canada would have a chance. Well, to be #3 in the world, it is a great result anyway given the amount of competition guys faced over there. So, I am proud and happy, GCG!
  8. Oh, man, there are so many thing to say about this World cup I would say one of the best, if not the best for the last 50 years that I follow this game. In my opinion, the main difference between NBA and euro basket is défense. There is no défense in NBA and many advanced defensive systems in Europe. And it was proven time and time again that défense wins championships
  9. Germans had the easiest path imaginable to the semifinal. Having sad that , nobody score much against them, I think Australia managed to score over 80 points, that's all. So , defensive game is a plus for them, but I don't think it will be enough for them to stop USA, who seems to take very seriously that defeat from Lithuania. So , 95% for USA.
  10. It is all the direct result of fatigue, he needs to hire the best condition coach available and work hard on endurance. I would say, that endurance is the main advantage of this version of Canada Team. Games against Latvia, France, now Slovenia were won in the second halves of the 3rd q, when fatigue became a factor
  11. Great game by our team. Luca is a very talented offensive player, but he is very lazy on the defensive side of the ball and he needs to work hard on his conditioning. Now Canada facing the best team of the World Cup, in my opinion. My bold prediction- whoever wins this semifinal- will win the final.
  12. It is not just a "neighboring state", but an absolute fascists state . So , I am questioning his moral compass and moral values.
  13. I think that Slovenia is the easiest opponent in the next round. Guys need to slow down Luka and I like our chances (knock on wood 3 times ).
  14. I watched the game on internet live. It was a very tough game against the tough , defensively minded team , the current world champion. Canada was trailing most of the game, by 12 points in the 4th quarter, which is a huge gap to fill. It took tremendous physical and mental efforts from the team to win this game by a slim margin- in fact, something like 1 inch, the final shot by a Spanish player hit the rim... So, I think players were mentally drained at the final buzzer. Hopefully, they use 2 days off to recharge batteries. Canada has a very good chance against Slovenia (knock on wood 3 times). .
  15. This is the exact my thought the news like that would motivate the hell out of me to get into the dance.
  16. Any normal person would do whatever it takes to keep away from Russia now. This guy decided to go back to motherland. Good luck not to end up his life for nothing around Bahmut.
  17. This is a biggest difference between Europe and North America right there
  18. I am sorry, maybe I see this differently because I grew up in a different culture, but I don’t think King is a bully He just call things as he sees it, without any politeness or political correctness.
  19. Not only loyal, but funs, who understand the game very deeply. When I read Post Game discussion - I often go like- oh, this person should make a living writing about hockey. I bet, that all regular Vancouver media folks coming here to get ideas. Love this place and it really helps me to cope with what is going on in my Ukraine. Thank you.
