First q but I can tell this dom-phi game is about to be one of the lowest IQ games I have watched, and I watch u16 girl tournaments. Legit street ball level play.

Kai sotto on Towns has got to be one of the most stupid decision by a basketball coach.

Philippines was playing without a PG, except for Clarkson. While his back-up Scottie Thompson has problems with the size of his defender.

There are a lot of empty seats right on the lower central sections close to the court, but yes once they zoom out and show the rest its full.
Clarkson is cooking in the 1st Half

Japan chances aren't great to begin with, but with Wattanabi missing like this, it's no contest.
Defense wins draft lotteries!

The venue is too big. But there’s like 33,000 people in attendance

Dominican has a chance to pull away in the third. Philippines playing full gear just to keep up. They have to clean up their TOs and stop giving up FTs

I like Austalia's chances. Young guys looked nervous and still blew out a decent team. Once they find their feet they won't need much from the vets, and that's when they gonna be really dangerous.

The issue is that he simply has no post moves/ doesn't know how what to do in the low post. It's like asking Joakim Noah to shoot threes. He's physically capable, but the outcome will be terrible.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.
