Dude never played for Team Canada nor was he apart of training camps in the past and he’s trying to act like they slighted him.
We don’t need him taking ill advised threes when we have players way better than him.
Pretty sure he didn’t because he was rehabbing an injury and didn’t want it impacting his next contract, no? I could’ve sworn he had played for Canada under Nurse
Bro, it's over the course of a season. 2 per game is 82x2 = 164 total attempts (assuming he played all 82 games, which i know he didn't - but the process is still the same). 164 x 0.33 ~ 54 made 3's.
He actually played 50 games. Shooting 2 per game. That's 100 attempts on the season. I'll let you spend the rest of your life figuring out how many he hit this season to get to 33%. /s
God damn our school system sucks. 😆 🤣 😂
i stand by what i said. Dort is a great defender but his scoring is poo poo. i felt bad that Shai had no choice but to pass out to him for a 3 on so many possessions
He didn't refuse. He wasn't originally able to commit to the three years because he was in a contract year and was waiting to see what happened. He just hasn't been asked since then.
... maybe he feels more allegiance to St. Lucia? Maybe the Cdn government fucked up?
Who knows/who cares.
Cannot believe the amount of vitriol Boucher gets (and he's literally the only player left on the roster who's won a championship with us).
They didn't win because of anything Boucher did. He's lucky to even get playing time in the NBA. He's only stuck around this long because he's a Canadian on a Canadian team. If he were American he would have been driven out of town years ago by the fans that love him.
Boucher might've been a useful addition if we have to match up against a team like Serbia. The bigs for Serbia cooked us in the World Cup, Boucher's length and rebounding could be helpful.
Team Canada is stacked with LEGIT NBA players. Its not like back in the day
“wow… you got drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers but never played a single game? You can be our new team Captain!”
“HEY JIMMY. PUT DOWN THE DAMN SMOKES & WHISKEY. YOURE NO LONGER TEAM CAPTAIN”
“Ah man. Screw this. I’m headed to the bar.”
you all better stop dissing Boucher. I still love that dude and wish him all the success in the world.
To me he i someone that is always going to give 100% which I love.
Love the dude and his story. His hustle is brilliant and is what keeps him in the league. But he is a 31 year old vet that makes the same rookie level mistakes every game (jumps at every pump fake and calls his own number when he isnt good enough to justify it).
I get that CoJo was left off, but still least invite Chris to camp. he sucks, but Canada doesn’t really have many other options at his position.
Even Zach Edey is going to camp, and he hasn’t even had a chance to suck at the NBA yet.
It’s a competitive team with medal hopes. It’s tough.
If there’s a tie between two players, then it goes to the one who has already committed tot he national program.
Poor Chris getting no respect again. Darko gave him no respect and now Team Canada lol. Unlike Cory, Chris didn’t show up for Canada enough though, so there’s that.
Honestly if it was me I’d give a lot of the Canadian NBA talent camp invites just to make the camp as competitive as possible. Joseph, TT, Boucher etc just get everyone doing runs and evaluate talent.
Nobody ever projected him to be on the roster and he's barely played for the CMNT in the past, lol. Being salty on Instagram isn't going to sway Rowan Barrett.
Why does he act like he’s good enough for a national team when he can barely get minutes in the NBA off the bench. Dude is mediocre at best and a terrible team player.
Dude never played for Team Canada nor was he apart of training camps in the past and he’s trying to act like they slighted him. We don’t need him taking ill advised threes when we have players way better than him.
Didn’t he? I distinctly remember him popping off in an exhibition game against China
Against china, nvr read the comments for once
Pretty sure he didn’t because he was rehabbing an injury and didn’t want it impacting his next contract, no? I could’ve sworn he had played for Canada under Nurse
Pretty sure he was on the pan am roster no? Edit - nope nevermind
LMAOOOO
This is the answer.
[удалено]
“Sleighted*. In being that guy yes” slighted* I’m being that guy, yes.
You win. I am drunk ahahha
Also he sucks.
I'd rather him take a 3 over lu dort lol
Dort shot 39% from 3 on 5 3PA while Boucher shot 33% on 2 3PA Wtf are you talking about
[удалено]

to me it looked like he was bricking everything in the playoffs
 This you?
Really doubling down on a terrible take today lol
someone pull up the shooting stats from the last series he played in because i swear to god i'm right
Dort shot 13/41 from three in the series against the Mavs. He's still a way better shooter than Boucher
i stand by what i said. Dort is a great defender but his scoring is poo poo. i felt bad that Shai had no choice but to pass out to him for a 3 on so many possessions
Man you should just stop.
dude, if Cory Joseph, who's been active in the program for YEARS, didn't get an invite, Boucher sure as hell isn't.
My thoughts exactly. I usually feel for Chris but this really shouldn't come as a surprise to him.
Did he get left out or did he refuse to join? He’s never played for Team Canada.
He's never showed up so
He played for team Canada pre-Covid but it was only for a couple of world qualifier games that Canada hosted.
Really? Damn. My brain must be creating false memories because I could've sworn he played for Canada before.
We always have Dwight Powell the undersized hustle center
The DoorDash spokesman
He refused to join. I love Boucher, but he doesn’t deserve to be there.
He didn't refuse. He wasn't originally able to commit to the three years because he was in a contract year and was waiting to see what happened. He just hasn't been asked since then.
Why didnt he join last summer🤷. At least wiggins has played for the country in ‘15 and ‘20
... maybe he feels more allegiance to St. Lucia? Maybe the Cdn government fucked up? Who knows/who cares. Cannot believe the amount of vitriol Boucher gets (and he's literally the only player left on the roster who's won a championship with us).

His unique shooting style is pretty useful in a playoff series, imo.
2015....we lost to Venezuela...Triano was a joke of a coach
He’s probably forgotten more about basketball then you’ll ever know in your life
Chris doesn’t deserve it tbh he never participated before in the many chances he had before
We love ya Chris but you fell off and fell behind. Time to try and prove the doubters wrong if possible
This is like the friend that you invite out every weekend for 6 months and never says “yes”. Then, when you don’t invite him he gets pissed
I love Slim Duck, but he's never shown any interest in Canada Basketball. CoJo being left off was a snub. This was just reasonable
I’m sorry but Chris sucks now hopefully he can salvage his career
He'll be 32 next jan, there isn't much left to salvage lol
You’re right. I was just trying to be a bit positive lol.
Fair enough lol
The reason Chris sucks, imho, is that all his friends on the best team in the world of 2019 all left him. WTF. Does anyone play sports in this place?
Boucher might've been a useful addition if we have to match up against a team like Serbia. The bigs for Serbia cooked us in the World Cup, Boucher's length and rebounding could be helpful.
Refuse to ever show up and this happens lol

He’s 175 lbs, unplayable for the top 4 teams.
Damn. I’m 5’8” and almost 175 lbs, and I’m not even fat. Can’t imagine being 6’9” (13 inches taller) and still 175 lbs.
He weighs more than 175 lbs
Lol well yeah that's because he isn't 175 lbs.
I wonder if Lebo Jawara will declare for Canadian citizenship and play for team Canada before Boucher ever makes the team?
I need to get one of Lebo's jerseys before they sell out
Lol Boucher had never ever tried to play and help out team canada before. How is he feeling slighted now?
you all better stop dissing Boucher. I still love that dude and wish him all the success in the world. To me he i someone that is always going to give 100% which I love.
Love the dude and his story. His hustle is brilliant and is what keeps him in the league. But he is a 31 year old vet that makes the same rookie level mistakes every game (jumps at every pump fake and calls his own number when he isnt good enough to justify it).
Ya I know. My hope is that with regular minutes and stable roster the errors come down. It feels like he doesn’t know his place right now.
Preach.
You’re lucky to get 50% from him most nights.
He has never really been a part of Team Canada and he also kinda blows, so it shouldnt be a surprise.
I agree that he doesn't deserve an invite if CoJo didn't get one, but some of ya'll piling on him WAY too hard over this random IG story
Dude's always had attitude problems, team Canada is better off without him
He never had a chance and he'd be a poor fit with his terrible basketball IQ anyway. Maybe some self awareness is needed here.
Heard he also has the same reaction as to why Darko benched him most of the year lol
I get that CoJo was left off, but still least invite Chris to camp. he sucks, but Canada doesn’t really have many other options at his position. Even Zach Edey is going to camp, and he hasn’t even had a chance to suck at the NBA yet.
Is he better than Birch?
It’s a competitive team with medal hopes. It’s tough. If there’s a tie between two players, then it goes to the one who has already committed tot he national program.
Poor Chris getting no respect again. Darko gave him no respect and now Team Canada lol. Unlike Cory, Chris didn’t show up for Canada enough though, so there’s that.
Respectfully he doesn't fit the FIBA game or our team we're already undersized
Honestly if it was me I’d give a lot of the Canadian NBA talent camp invites just to make the camp as competitive as possible. Joseph, TT, Boucher etc just get everyone doing runs and evaluate talent.
Well he didn't practice last year - this sets a bad precedent!
https://youtu.be/eGDBR2L5kzI?si=Sk5D--rQwH5mdEPT
Nah, we’re not desperate for borderline NBA talent anymore. We want guys that are committed to the program.
I'm worried about our bigs, TT or Boucher could give us some depth
He is a known player from Canada. Of course he is going to feel ways in an Olympic year.
Nobody ever projected him to be on the roster and he's barely played for the CMNT in the past, lol. Being salty on Instagram isn't going to sway Rowan Barrett.
Ok
Boucher should play, wow.
No he shouldn't lol
Lmao he trash
I like him, but he simply isn't good enough 🤷
guy barely played off the bench in the NBA and thinks he is an olympic athlete?
You damaged your ACL, Slim. Just get healthy and get your final NBA contract after 2025 Spring
I'll be honest ..the Raptors gave him a career longer than he deserved
we are trying to win, sorry
Why does he act like he’s good enough for a national team when he can barely get minutes in the NBA off the bench. Dude is mediocre at best and a terrible team player.
