Near Fight Between China And Gilas Sparked By Arrogant American Coach.
Bob Donewald, you are despicable.
China's arrogant American coach showed just how classless he is by uttering distasteful remarks against his Philippine counterpart Rajko Toroman.
Filipino assistant coaches Ryan Gregorio and Chot Reyes were inflamed when they heard Donewald utter "We're just too big, they're just too small. And he's an a$&hole.", refering to Toroman.
Here's hoping we get another crack at China. Maybe then, Douthit, Aguilar, Williams and the rest of the Nationals can give a shot across the bows.

China 75, Gilas 60!
What seemed to be a rout turned into a spirited game due to the Gilas nationals' never-say-die spirit.
Gilas had a great 4th quarter, forcing the Chinese into fouls, grabbing their fair share of rebounds and hitting some shots they are supposed to hit.
That being said, the Philippines still need some work as turnovers and offensive cohesiveness are the major problem areas for them. what is really puzzling now is Coach Rajko's use of Japeth Aguilar. This was a game where Japeth had an impact in his 3mins and I can only wonder how much of an impact he would have had if he played 20 minutes.
I mean hats off to Ranidel and Kelly but Japeth was made for this game. Well, we'll see what Coach Rajko decides to do tomorrow.

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!

Gilas 13, China 22 At The End Of The First Quarter!
It was 12-13 with 3 minutes left but 3 straight turnovers by the Gilas guards plus a converted and-1 placed China up 20-12.
China adds one more fastbreak basket before Chris Tiu hits an FT.
