in these exhibition games they play 60% effort plus KD's not playing. In Paris, Tyrese, White, Edwards and Booker will see the floor maybe 8-10 minutes max.
Familiarity and lack of chemistry will be an issue but they just have too many weapons that other teams have no advantage over them. They can swing the ball all they want, iso if they want, run down the shot clock if they want and it doesn't matter where the ball ends up-- it's always a high percentage shot.

In all honesty the rest of Asia and some LatAm/European teams are f*cked the moment Japan replaces Hawkinson with an NBA-level naturalized player. Doesn't help that Yuta Watanabe is w the Chiba Jets, which means he'll be more involved now with Akatsuki Five.

Watanabe can be defended... The rest of the world not afraid of NBA players... Lebanon is not afraid of those NBAers (they beat Clarkson, Howard, Robertson).. And it's not ideal to tap NBA players as your naturalized players... First of all, availability is important.. the reason why Tim cone always opt w/ Brownlee than Clarkson.. 2nd, team chemistry.. guys like RHJ, Brownlee, Spellman have their time to spend with their teammates than the guys like Clarkson, Hachimura or Schoan.. And lastly, those NBAers have little to none idea of what FIBA rules is doing.. they have to adjust their game to suit in the rules... Even now Joel Embiid has trouble adjusting to the FIBA rule setting...

yeah right. that's why they're in the Olympics while the rest are watching them at home, wishing to be in their place. Lol. Give credit where credit is due. They built a solid league, developed their homegrown players and played exceptional as one of the hosts of the World Cup. I'm not afraid of Japan, I'm just saying they could be even better with a simple roster adjustment.

i am not taking away from them that they qualified in the Olympics good for them that they were able to take advantage of being a host country while we didn't, but my point is why the hell it will only be Australia and them in the FIBA Asia while other countries will just need to settle for third place, when will all these development Japan still hasn't won anything yet in Asian tournaments for the past 10 years, let see next year, until they are able to produce a NBA all-star level of talent that i will not consider them unbeatable for other us and other Asian countries, as their non NBA players are not that far in terms of talent to other Asian players
Why wait next year when we can test this theory in the Olympics this August? Gilas might not be the only Asian country to upset a European powerhouse in 2024. Japan is in a tough bracket but let's see how they'll fare. This is not Japan c*ck sucking lol, it's a good development for the growth of the sport in the region.Manifesting: Philippines top 5 in the FIBA World Rankings

While Japan may not boast NBA all-star level talent across the board, we cannot ignore the fact that they still have more NBA talents than other Asian countries. Add to that their strong domestic league that gives their locals competitive edge over their neighbors. True, they haven't won anything in the past 10 years in Asian tournaments but their performance in the World Cup indicates their program's trajectory as a formidable force in the region.

why wait next year? because the FIBA Asia tournament will be next year so it will be a good gauge on how other asian teams will fare against them, let's see in the Olympics then if Japan end up winless in their bracket and got blown out by France and Germany maybe the overhyping will stop and Brazil is not an easy team either even with Hachimura playing, i still believe that top asian teams can still beat them and be competitive, i don't see Japan better than the Latvian national team that Gilas beat, i am trying to search the schedule of Japanese national team for their preparation in the upcoming Olympics i want to see them play against European team
You're really making that assessment when the last time we faced Japan was 2022 with our cadet team and they weren't full force. Times are different now. Gilas just beat China twice, Gilas are Asian Games Champs, and Gilas just beat a European team ranked no. 6 in the world. Before last year's World Cup absolutely no one will believe Gilas can achieve those things.
On the other hand, Japan has arguably one of the best leagues in the world attracting elite talents from around the globe and has produced multiple NBA players. On a good night they're capable of upsetting powerhouses from other continents. Both programs are progressing, trending in the right direction, but as of this writing Japan and Australia are the ones worthy of competing against the best of the best based on their results... and that's a cold hard fact. What's not to hype about this Japan team when years ago they can't even beat Gilas? As their Asian neighbor we should support them in the Olympics because they can provide a blueprint for us on how to beat those elite Euro and LatAm teams.Manifesting: Philippines top 5 in the FIBA World Rankings

lol so much hate towards Japan when they're clearly making strides. Chill out. If they get blown out by France, Germany and Brazil so what? They're still a basketball program that qualified in the Olympics. 12 of the best basketball programs in the world. Don't get me started about how other European teams didn't qualify because if they can they would have.

i don't give a shit about Japan and their program all i care about is beating them and not emulating them, despite all the turmoil with Gilas in recent years we were not the that far behind, if the basketball patrons in our country will not be too selfish in stockpiling talents for the local school its not impossible for the Philippines to produce NBA players, and also you have to consider that Filipino players use basketball as a way out of poverty so most are afraid to take risk and try their luck outside of our country as there are already offers that can somehow satisfy their needs top college players in the Philippines even earn 6 digits so it's understandable if they are opting to stay, something that Japanese players has the luxury being in a first world country, despite of all the resources and current development Japan has didn't totally outperform Philippines when it comes to international basketball, it just that fucking Chot Reyes being too full of himself and wasted a good opportunity for the country to qualify in the Olympics, but do not make it appear that they are head and shoulders above everyone, that is why i am saying let see in FIBA Asia 2025
But I symphatize with you that Gilas can achieve more if not for our shitty landscape. It is yet to be seen if we can outperform them with that current group but for now, let's admit that Japan's blueprint is working, while the Philippines is still figuring it out.Manifesting: Philippines top 5 in the FIBA World Rankings
