That means Japan with that big frontline composed Kosuke Takeuchi (where's Joji? Did I miss something?) and JR Sakuragi. But Marcus Douthit, the reenergized Japeth Aguilar and Ranidel de Ocampo should be able to neutralize them.
That being said, there seems to be no other immediately visible threat from the Japanese side. They have nice, solid players in the backcourt but no stars, no game changers.
I fully expect Jimmy Alapag, Jayson Castro, Jeff Chan and Larry Fonacier to be the difference maker. If they can't, then God help us all.
