2024 Paris Olympics Basketball | IBN PH Discussion Thread

Yeah but none bigger than this. 4pt lead with 16secs to go on the opponent's home floor in the Olympic Games against the next generation's best player.

Yeah for sure. If Gilas had this moment instead of Japan, I don't even know how much engagement it will generate.

I can't wait to see full force gilas vs full force japan i hope it will happen next year in the Asia Cup.

I hope this game puts an end to the debate of whether Japan's program is heading in the right direction or they simply got the lucky draw in the WC.

Their WC win is not a fluke.

They are doing the right things. Meanwhile we beat Latvia but still failed to make the Olympics. And we are on our way to a bigger circus with the 4pt shot.

Agreed. that is just Croatia with bojan bogdanovich. This is France with the Top Overall Pick in the biggest stage in Paris.

Are refs biased against Asian teams? They didn't call that obvious foul on Jeff Chan while they blew the whistle on Kawamura for that solid defense.

Full force Gilas with 2 week preparation? Gilas will always be handicapped as long as the PBA idiots run the program.

Tim Cone will tell his players to back off from the perimeter.

Colett been coaching Les Bleus since 2009, Hovasse only 3 years in. Experience is a great teacher.

Which is why Asians need to play a perfect game.

You can't give referees any chance to blow that whistle.

Kawamura and Togashi just proved that small guards have a place in international basketball.

i thought 20 point blowouts ? hahaha why are we in OT bro?

France coach sucks... He doesn't know how to coach.. I bet even Chot Reyes is better than Collet... He simply don't know how to coach... No matter how France will fare this tournament, they should fire Collet after this.. they will achieve nothing with him as a coach... But don't too overhyped Japan, even Gilas can beat this France team... Tim cone will outcoach Collet for sure...

Japan has a very good chance vs Brazil. They are evenly matched. I mean, Gilas without Kai almost beat them if not for that 3rd qtr meltdown.

Go home with a moral victory and with a win. not farfetched.

But achieve nothing aside that 2013 Gold from EuroBasket thanks to Parker's brilliance.. he's like Chot Reyes.. he's not evolving his coaching tactics.. no wonder why Coach Scarliolo always have Collet's numbers... Even Lebanon last year almost beat France... Just lose by 6..

[Giannis34GOD]

That 2 week preparation you said is already ok since that line up is already build since February 2024... The chemistry is already there.. that's why I'm ok with that current set up... Tim cone already prove us results.. ano paba reklamo natin? Right!!

In 2027, we are in peak form.. Japan might already peak this year... Our situation is better than Japan in 2027... We have better bigs than Japan...

a. Proofread for you, sir:

*He simply doesn't know how to coach
*No matter how France will fare this tournament, they should fire Collet.
*But don't overhype Japan too much

b. Identified false premise/ fallacies:

even Gilas can beat this France team (?) based on what data/results?
Tim cone will outcoach Collet for sure (?) how will you support this statement?

c. Speculation

In 2027, we are in peak form.. Japan might already peak this year... Our situation is better than Japan in 2027... We have better bigs than Japan...

[reamily]

Men, a well prepared healthy tim cone led team will beat the hell out of this french team just like what they did to latvia..thru the years asian teams, even thechot reyes led team got close to france. We all knew Rudy Gobert will look out there as second coming of Barney Greg slaughter on a bad day and be like the 3 time defensive player of the nba the next day..
