Even if Guam has Jonathan Galloway and Curtis Washington playing, Taipei will still win it. The team is determined to get back into respectability.

Gilbeck is festive inside with no inside presence for guam. CT really is a good defensive team.. lots of steals

They only live games who are involving Mid east teams... Olympicastream site didn't live the game.. I guess Taiwanese networks brought this game for their home fans to watch...
 
I'm only interested on Guam vs Thailand game tomorrow, Taiwan already favored to sweep this round.. plus better for Guam to not all out because the Thailand game will be their biggest match up in their basketball program.. A win will be their ticket to the Asia cup, assuming Thailand will also feel the same wrath what Taiwan did to Guam on Sunday.. so even Thailand will go all out tomorrow... No way also for Thailand will beat Taiwan right now ..
 
This current Chinese Taipei team reminds me of Gilas 1 - youth laden with good quality guards & wingmen but doesn't really have quality bigs, hence it hired a naturalized player who plays center. Brandon Bilbeck is to Chinese Taipei what Marcus Douthit was to Gilas 1. Like what Douthit did to Gilas 1, Bilbeck is to cover his team's weak spot - the middle.

I think Chinese Taipei is the new South Korea national team. This team is well coached & the players are disciplined.
 
I think this current Chinese Taipei team is capable of beating teams like the rebuilding South Korea team, Jordan, Iran, China (which is also on a rebuilding stage). The Taiwanese had already beaten our Gilas team a month ago.
 
Bruenig's absence might hurt Thailand's chances to qualify. Dude is a 15-10 player. How can they fill this hole?

They have Ejesu and Jakrawan in the line up but both will have hard time against former NBL vet Tai Wesley.. actually even Guam doesn't have their own big in Galloway because both was denied by their European ballclubs to participate there.. but there's Tai, who been eating Chinese pro bigs such as Yang Hansen and Hu Jinqui, are better than Ejesu and Jakrawan.. advantage for Thailand is that they have better bench than Guam this upcoming game, but it doesn't matter in a close game situation.. I think it will be a Ross vs Lish match up, whoever have a better game within them then it will be likely get a win for either team.. last match up between these two in pre qualifiers back in 2023, Guam won 75-69.. it was a shoot out between Ross and Lish..it will be likely the same scenario, this time for Fiba Asia cup slot on the line between them...
 
Guam can be a competitive team if they have a real coach.. if they stick with EJ Calvo, they will be embarrass at Fiba Asia cup and world cup qualifiers.. they have 3 players who are high level caliber in Asian circuit (Ross, Galloway and Wesley) while they have another players who can contribute (Cruz, Simon, Johnson, Fugergur) in any day... They have some talented players, but they don't have a real system to upgrade... Calvo is lot more worst than Chot or any worse coach I know such as Darvin Ham or CJ Brutton... I hope Guam can figure it out before August.. this is might be first and probably last appearance in this higher level competition since Wesley is 38, Ross is 34 and Cruz is 34.. they might all retire after world cup qualifiers..
 
Thailand being a disappointment as always.

who do ya’ll got for the last two West Asian tickets?

Money is on Iraq and Bahrain.

India has a shit record against middle eastern teams.
