Message: [QUOTE="cordarone, post: 3270403, member: 225"] US, Australia, Spain, France and Argentina are qualified for Tokyo so it would be a major upset for Serbia to lose a six-team tournament where none of those other teams are playing. But, yeah, at that point, it only takes one bad game. Note that the Serbs qualified for the Rio Games through the wild card tournament as well. Canada unfortunately had an even worse attendance from its pros than the US. Only two players on the World Cup team are in the NBA, with notable absentees like RJ Barrett and Andrew Wiggins. Maybe the coach, Nick Nurse of the Raptors, can change some minds by next summer but more likely the streak of not qualifying in the Olympics since 2000 will continue. [/QUOTE]
