IMHO - flop by the AU player acting like Deladova and then an absolute sucker punch by the AU guy. That started it and he should be banned from international play after that. What happened after that is everyone’s fault
Two high elbows to the face by the Filipino guy is what started it. Aussie teammate was 100% justified clocking him.

That staffer should be banned from ever working on a professional team. I would just like to say I've watched several Gilas Pilipinas games in the past and this was very unusual behavior from them. Not excusing what happened. That was messed up. FIBA should take appropriate action and be warier in the future. Fight shouldn't have escalated to that level.

Is there any history between y'all and Australia in international ball?

Apart from them kicking our butts every time? None that I know of. It could be the game was physical (we tend to be; I think Aussies do too) from the get-go and emotions just got the better of them.

Word. I love your country's passion for basketball. A lot of people in the states could learn a thing or two from you guys and Lithuanians when it comes to supporting the sport.

The no. 7 guy is Jayson Castro, and he's actually one of the most mild-mannered Filipino players we have. He's a 10-year veteran and I've never seen him involved in a brawl so this was really shocking. But then again the Filipino player who got decked is his club teammate so he probably just wanted to have his back.

It's not a matter of having "no credibility" or being a "bad poster". Both of those things imply he is actually a Celtic fan, and just has bad takes. He is a deliberate troll who is enjoying every second of it. That should be quite clear.
It is safe to disregard him entirely.
