34th Dubai International Basketball Championship (SGA/Zamboanga)

[Rds]

Because SGA spent all that $$$ to compete. Getting for NBAers plus local stars isn't cheap. They went all in and built a talented team. Their budget is probably at least double of what Zamboanga spent just to lose like that. I'm not saying what they did was right but I understand how they feel.

They reached the finals last year with arguably a less offensively talented team. They fought Arakji's team toot and nail. This year that team didn't even join. I guess the organizers have favorites. They really loved KQ. And I think it favored him in the calls. In the finals Arakji got him to fly in the air on a fake. When he bumped Arakji on landing, no-call. Even Arakji was surprised a few seconds on the no-call.

So i guess the boycott is a calculated move after all. Snoe badua is saying that is SGA planning to start a similar tourney next year here in the country. Let's see if they're able to pull it off and invite solid teams.
