I think Brazil is gigil becaus eof their point differential..

Turned the game into a massacre.

Hopefully Japan doesnt have fans who will be mad " why is Curry of Japan being benched"...

Bruno feasting on the thinner Japanese frontline.

Just like I predicted.

But they held on until the last few minutes even without Rui.

to be fair w eall knew this wanst the story..

In the end.. Latino teams has the numbers of any Asian teams... They have advantage that any Asians don't have... In the end, Gilas vs Japan debate will be continue until FIBA Asia cup next year... It will stop whoever between Japan and Gilas will have good performance...

IDK, i feel like either Gilas or Japan would beat Brazil with 100% lineup.

Gilas did not have Kai, AJ (which badly needed for his strong physique against Caboclo)

Japan without Hachimura which arguably their best player.


Also if both Gilas and Japan get a NBA-Caliber Naturalized play who can play as Wing to Big with 6'9 height, I think both of them clears Brazil.

Correct and Bruno isnt really feasting up until Huertas set the tone.. he was headless chicken everytime huertas is out

Japanese curry will take the slot of togashi moving forward..

So brazil is still minus 7..

Prime Alapag can't even get a G-League or Summer League call up while Yuki got his after his rookie year in Japan. No brainer.

Is that really the case? That means Kawamura is better than Fadi El Khatib, Samad Bahrami or Now Dwight Ramos? Ray Parks also played in G league that means he's better than those players I mentioned? That is brainless comparison... It means you believe Bronny James is a NBA caliber player if that is your case...

Gilas played better against brazil than Japan played against them. Japan is like the Korea of the 90s. Lives and dies with the 3pointers.

Keep on riding Guam's dick.

But IBN believes that the Tim Cone weakness will be modern basketball...

[Giannis34GOD]

Robert did you really watch Jimmy alapag play or just listen to the propaganda...

Alapag is the best Gilas player from 2007 to 2013 and 2nd best after Blatche in 2014... Like Kawamura, he do his thing as celebral PG in his era... But one thing Alapag is better than Kawamura.. the decision making, basketball IQ and make his team better... Kawamura sometimes ball hogging while Alapag is not...

You can never gauge a player's skill and greatness with being in the NBA. Especially now that politics and nepotism are on the table. Was Yuta Tabuse a much better player because he was in the NBA than a Jason Castro?

Our real weakness is the talent differential. We will always be the underdogs vs the Olympic level teams.
