China 43, Gilas 21!

The story of the game? Turnovers.

My eyes literally popped out as JV Casio, Mark Barroca, Jimmy Alapag and Marcus Douthit were all afflicted by butterfingers, losing the ballover and over again.

Of course, the fact that Casio, Barroca, Tiu, Baracael, de Ocampo, Williams and Alapag are all severely undersized compared to their Chinese counterparts. Amongst them, only Barroca and Tiu seem to have any kind of success, Barroca doing it with speed, Tiu with his brain.

Douthit is feeling the pressure, twice missing lay ups trying to avoid Chinese defenders who put up token defense.

And I really hate to second guess Coach Rajko for for God's sake, play Japeth Aguilar. He may not be the smartest player out there but he can physically match up to the Chinese. He'll grab rebounds, block shots, play defense and maybe get an alleyoop or two.

Anyway, let's hope Gilas makes it a more respectable score in the second half!
