2024 Paris Olympics Basketball | IBN PH Discussion Thread

[CoJ]

For boxing only three remain in contention. Herdy Bacyadan lost earlier.

Also that marcial loss was painful

[Dotch]

not really, last year Serbians beat americans in world cup finals

yeah, but American mainstream media was aghast and shocked. LOLz. The only 3x3 game they know is Ice Cube's Big 3 League featuring retired NBA players

That league is entertaining, but terrible

Meanwhile our olympians are dropping out of competition one by one

our athletes except for a few exemptions are not really world class, we don't even have a proper sports ministry compared to other countries, and which countries are lording the medal table? mostly the first world countries who has the money and proper sports program, success in sports is somehow tied to 2 things genetics and countries' economy

it’s a good discussion actually. kawamura or arakji as Best PG in Asia.. both good on their own right..

For Yulo, I think better focus on his 2 category (floor exercise and vault) than all around... Better be healthy in much crucial event that he has a chance.. especially in floor exercise that he have big shot to win the gold

[JOI2dWorld]

what USA is doing to Jones is what other teams were not trying to do against Kawamura, post him up and let him try to play defense

Not just win.. they have to lessen point differential if they want to advance into QF even if they lose.. as of now the PD of teams who are possibly in the 3rd placers of each group are:

Group A:
Australia + 2
Spain -5
Greece -14

Group B:
Brazil -25
Japan -24

Group C:
Serbia +15
South Sudan -6


South Sudan needs to close the game vs Serbia, to avoid minus point difference big margin.. same goes to Spain and especially to Greece, the Greeks should win big if they want to be in 3rd placer in their group... I guess one of Brazil and Japan will not make it even one of them will win, unless win big margin...

Also that marcial loss was painful

Yeah.

What makes it just as painful is that that loss was an upset. Man. Hope the other boxers, especially Nesthy and Paalam, step up.

Wondering why don't we have a Department of Sports? Well, we used to have DECS but it's now DepEd. But we need a new department that is really dedicated for sports.

That means elevating the PSC into a full-blown department.
