"Guam bigs are tough."
- So as Iranian bigs and Angolan bigs but did these teams win against China? Both Iran and Angola will beat Guam even if I bet on Guam. Being tough does not mean a win. Guam bigs played tough against Japan last thursday but did they win? Last time I checked, they were beaten by 21 points.
"Guam bigs will make Chinese bigs look like a fool."
- Can Tai Wesley, Curtis Washington and Jonathan Galloway make Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin, and other Chinese bigs look like fools? They may not be as big as Yao Ming but these Chinese bigs are still good. The statement is just an exaggeration.
"Guam could have a chance against Japan."
- No, Guam did not have a chance against Japan. We all know that, at any time, Japan will make a run by hitting those threes and win the game. It already happened against Venezuela and Finland (pretty sure Guam will not beat these teams). One thing about Japan is they are trying to size up their opponents at the start of the game.
For me, saying that a newcomer like Guam can match top Asian teams is bit of an insult against Korea, Gilas, Jordan, Iran, Lebanon, China and Japan.
