How Australia Masterplanned The Implosion of Gilas

First, let us get one thing out of the way. The brawl should never have happened. The fans and staff throwing stuff at the Australian players should be barred from all playing venues from this day forth (maybe even prosecuted). The Gilas players should have kept their cool and kept each other out of harm's way.

Because this was exactly how the Australian basketball team wanted things to go. They planned for our team to beat ourselves.

And it all started with the decals. The mind games started early, with the Aussie staff unpeeling the decals off our floor. They've never done that before, so why start now? Because they needed to. They needed to get into the heads of our players, to find a way to ignite the infamous Pinoy temper.
