I was wrong in the other thread, Davis is the best player on the team. Man he's been on fire in FIBA play so far.

For some reason, the the color scheme of the polos with the purple collars being worn by the Turkey coach and FIBA(?) officals on the sidelines look like they are wearing leis to me. Not a bad look tbh.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

As long as he removes a finger, ear, or significant portion of meaty flesh, I'd say it would be worth it.

All I want is for my Philippine team to miraculously win two games and earn the right to be blown off the floor in the first game of the knockout stage.

I think they have a pretty good shot of making it considering the lackluster play of the teams in Group B, not to mention the injury to Arroyo.

But even if they don't, we can't discount the fact how they exceeded expectations. I seriously thought they were going to get blown out of every game with a margin of at least 100 points but here they are, making it close and almost upsetting some of the world's best - something that China and Iran couldn't even remotely pull off. Most people like to chalk it entirely up to Blatche but if it weren't for the team we have surrounding him, his 20-18 games (which are virtually Doughit numbers) would ring hollow.

He was really really good with the Lakers at the end until he got vertigo doing a lot of this poo poo, just not a lot of people saw him do it.
