Gilas Leads Malaysia At Halftime!

Gilas leads Malaysia 37-34.

Marcus Douthit has not played at all, Baracael and Lassiter are carrying the cudgels on offense but  nobody is stepping up on defense. That, I think, is the key factor here. No one is playing defense worth spit.

Also, this is a glimpse of life without Marcus Douthit. While teams like Jordan and South Korea are blowing out Malaysia by 40 points, we're barely beating them by 3.

Oh, and why is the ESPN commentator anti-Filipino? He has barely anything good to say about the Philippine players.

When they make a good play, he says that's just par for the course. If their opponents make a good play, he goes on and on like it's highlight reel material. Come on, man, you're a sports commentator and you're supposed to be objective!
