i'll just quote that cuban coach Miguel Calder Gomez when they faced the original dream team

"You can't cover the sun with your finger."- Beating Italy requires a miracle

Funny enough I think we have a chance against Italy.

1. Italys bigs seem to be finesse bigs. Theyll be cooked by Edu
2. Italy doesnt have the same length as Angola so JC is gonna cook

We will have a chance like against DR. But I think it comes down again to more playmaking outside JC. CJ had a decent game today. I hope he does even better against Italy.

A team that can shoot vs a team that can't. LOL

If we can defend them why not.

I do want that but its not working. So maybe a DDO is more effective and efficient for us than euro plays

Sorry for gloating I just can't get enough of how ridiculous this comment is

[empyreanmaze]

Its a statement to show that euro plays dont work with asia like korea and japan. Some here keep asking us to do euro plays as if it was effective with other East Asia countries.

Have you ever seen anyone so disastrously wrong it's funny

Win over the Italians? The way our shooters are tossing those bricks, they could easily give the Colosseum a complete restoration.

Doesn't really matter how built your players are, these guys aren't programmed to beat any competition stronger than SEA games. Italy will give gilas a spanking

Correct me if Im wrong. They are not even better than our team talentwise. Our talent pool is way bigger that we dont have to rely on 5’8 PGs.

DR vs PH + 7, DR vs IT + ? PH vs IT ?

We have RJ Abarrientos if we wanna play midgets, I'm wondering why the dude was never even invited in the practice pool. Could've been a good 12th man in situations like that Angola game where they were torching the living shit out of Chot outside the arch instead of Pogoy or Kiefer, RJ can't defend for shit but he has as good of playmaking as Kiefer and is way more sureball than Pogoy, also a very good iso player.

Can't base in on that, there's fog of war early in the competition, I'm sure gilas's weakness is much more glaring now to Italian scouts after Angola and DR
