I thought the more aggressive team got the calls both halves. First half it was Lithuania, second half it was Brazil. Some of the bad calls at the end were really bad though. Like when Neto pushed with both hands and didn't get called for a foul.

Brazil's bigs kind of suck though. Nene is finished and the other guys are just bad.
That awkward moment when you realize you wish you had Verejao on your team.

Lol. When did Brazil win anything in last 25 years? Don't be delusional, Lithuania is nr. 3 ranked team in the world.

Warming bench in Toronto.
He's probably worse than Verejao... but he can't be worse than Hettsheimeir...

Cristiano Felício is a good player. He did well last season in Chicago. Summer League was pretty good too. Augusto Lima played for Real Madrid, but he is only average.
Splitter and Varejao injured.
Bebe is better than old Giovananni (Soft and plays here)

As a neutral observer, calls were really in favor of Brazil in the second half. Nothing egregious, but any sort of close judgement call went for Brazil.

Home cooking which is expected. Brazil would not even qualify to Olympics other then being the host nation.

Not hater, just objective. You guys did not even made out of the group in FIBA Americas 2015. Canada, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, Puerto Rico - all these teams were better than Brazil last year. That you got few NBA veterans playing on their last legs in these Olympics doers not make Brazil a decent team. Sad for you but you need to accept the truth.
Yeah, forgot Splitter was Brazilian. If they had him they probably would have won.
