FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019

[harizen]

So many good teams to watch for but the recent championship with United States is really a good one, winning their 5th Title is not easy and for this year they will defend it with all their best. Luckily my country which is Philippines was able to qualified for this world cup, i just hope they will do better this time.

If you want to take a risk for PH, you can take advantage of the odds. I'm seeing a decent Moneyline odds for it.

Analyze the teams on Group D. At least even at 50% (but I'm seeing 70%), PH can able to snatch a win.

I also read about the possibility of Damain Lillard as captain for the team.

Damian Lillard already withdraws from the team.

Team USA doesn't have solid superstars on their lineup now but composed of good role players.  As always, the current roster is still deadly.

Do you believe anyone could upset the USA this time?  

Even though some of the big guns of the US team are withdrawing from the roster, they still are the favorite to win the trophy. We have seen international players playing in the NBA and excel but if they go back to their national team, it's another story since there are two or three of them that have the experience in the NBA that can make difference in FIBA.

Anyone that loves basketball, watches the NBA and doesn't give a crap about FIBA. 

Not in the Philippines, whatever it is as long as it's about basketball especially if our country is a participant we do watch it, we do love this sport here in my country ranging from town to town you'll probably find more than 10 courts to play.

I'm still hoping that the Philippines can snatch a win, I still don't know if Clarkson will be able to play this time (I hope so) but never read any news about it. Though an undercard and only got 1 medal (bronze) received way back the 50's, I am still hoping.

Hopefully he is gonna play, here's the latest new about that .

I'm suggesting OP to make a poll, we can make it as our reference on what team we should beat.

Regarding the pool, I am sure he can't do it with this thread anymore unless he makes another started topic about it. It will be good to see a pool to vote for the country you want at least 3 votes per user.

With that news with a 40/60 chance to get Clarkson, I guess he will not, a good thing if it does. Blatche is a good all-around player as I see on the previous matches with Gilas. Hope injuries don't really happen to them if they will be accepted by FIBA.

I agree, having Clarkson in the Gilas Team will be a big help, however, Blatche has build a chemistry with the players so he will be a boost if he is going to play again. Of course USA is the heavy favourite to win, so it's really hard to bet against them as this point.

Having them both on the team will give us a chance to win some games on FIBA World Cup, but we need to have the ultimate chemistry out there. because we can't let these guys play like on their own game. A very impressive ball movement and a few miss three's will make us win some games on FIBA. PUSO!

No, that's wrong, he can still add a poll despite this thread was already created, if you have a thread where you started, try to explore it and you'll see an option that allows you to add poll.

US team is still a strong and favorite to win the FIBA Cup but I love to see how the Greece perform. Not to forget United states have won the last two world cup in 2010 (Held in Turkey) and 2014 (Held in Spain)

To tell you the truth, I do favor Greece to win this world cup but for that they need to play their best performance.

I would love for us to win but to be honest - even a medal would be a huge success... Even with Giannis our roster cannot compete with USA, Australia, Canada, Serbia, Spain and not even France to be honest...

Tyler Dorsey likely to start for GR as well - I cant wait to see Giannis together with Calathes, hope they will connect.

I see that there are many people from Philippies in this thread. I know how passionate about basketball you're, but I don't see how your team can reach next round. Ok, you're probably stronger than Angola, but to reach next round you need to wing against Serbia or Italia, what is hardly possible in my opinion. Anyway, good luck for your team, it would be amazing to see you going further.

[Shinpako09]

USA is a super team so it's a gold for them again. Having 1 or 2 NBA player in one team makes them strong then how about a team consist of NBA player and superstar.

As for my PH team, I fully support them wether they go to 2nd round or not. Their bracket is tough and still long way to go in beating those opponents.

The Philippine team is just happy that it qualified for the FIBA World Cup and getting into the second round is just a bonus for them. Their current roster is too weak to advance to the second round even if Jordan Clarkson is included in the roster.

You're right. Philippines is really passionate not just in basketball but any other sports including boxing (Manny Pacquiao phenomena).

So I will support PH, but I will admit that it will be a big task ahead of them to even go to round 2 as my fellow kababayans have said.

Well, the fact that the Philippine Team qualified is already an achievement, not just for their team but for all those who support them. No doubt, Filipinos are such a big fan of sports.

PH team surely have tough opponents but they will do their best to go farther than they have before. They will perform well. Whether or not they reach the next round, they've already made their fellow men proud.

I also don't think they will advance, the odds says it all, Philippines is +120872 to win the Fiba World, looks like a lottery win.

The chance it's too low even Clarkson's will be there to help them, the players might have the heart to fight all they long but the chance to win against those teams who also qualified is to small,  if the team advance to the second round it's already an achievement for this selections and better to learn and adjust on the next season.

Even with Clarkson, it's still hard for them to advance, there isn't enough time for them to train and build chemistry.
There achievement was when they qualified in this event and I don't expect more.

With enough time and more determinations, there's nothing impossible for their team to overcome those hardships behind. If they'll qualify for this event, that's the result of their teamwork and hardwork. Let's see what will be the outcome in the end, and actions always speaks louder than words after all.

Would also be nice if we bet based on what we believe, as for me, I'm not betting on the Philippines to win even if the odds are very tempting.
Good luck to them but Philippine basketball is not really that good to compete in bigger stage like FIBA.
