Crazy game! This is what the Philippines have wanted, but it only happened in their last game when it wasn't that necessary. JC is on fire, and it was a bad decision by China not to double-team him. We know that JC is a streaky shooter, and now he will be unstoppable. I don't think China will be able to mount a big comeback in the 4th quarter.

China did what they had to do; they had the height advantage, but JC was just lucky that his 3-point shots sank in. Just imagine, five consecutive 3-pointers; he was unstoppable at that point and had already demoralized China in the 4th quarter. It's difficult to come back from such a huge deficit with only 10 minutes remaining, especially against a home team with strong support from the crowd.

I also noticed that their coach had already announced that he will step down from his coaching job after the game. It's great that he had a win in his last game as a coach. Anyway, congratulations to the winners! The Philippines finally had a very convincing win.

Congratulations to the Philippines, finally some excitement and a well deserved win.
After the 3rd quarter I bet my small stake weekly bonus on them -19,5 points and 15 seconds before the end this looked bad with the Philippines only leading by 17 points.

Then a 2 point dunk with 10sec to go, steal with 5sec to go, a missed 3 with 1sec to go and a tip in with the buzzer made my bet win, what a final stretch for this instead of dribbling the clock out. Guess politics have had an influence on this, Philippines wanted to make it a 20 point statement win.

That was a risky bet, my friend. However, as fortunate as JC was, I believe luck was on your side too, as the final sequence favored the Philippines. The last-second shot that saved you came just one second before the buzzer sounded. It's undoubtedly a significant victory for the Philippines, given their previous struggles in games. This one serves as a testament that they are a strong team capable of winning when they play cohesively. JC had his best game in the FIBA so far, so I'm sure he'll be thrilled as he return to Utah to continue training with his NBA team.

Congratulations to your win. We do take seriously fight against China because sports is the only place we can win against them. 

Kidding aside. China roster seems very week compared before when they a lot of sharp shooters and 7 footers. What quarter do you bet for your that -19.5 and what odds you manage to scoop with that win?

Thanks buddy.
At the end of the 3rd, on break. They were up 22 so just don't lose the last quarter by 2 and it wins. So it wasn't that risky, especially looking at how they performed in the 3rd quarter. Odds were basically normal handicap odds of 1,9 .

Anyway, kind of a miracle final seconds for this one. Scoring twice in 10 seconds, even though you could run out the clock, is quite unusual. I wonder why that happened . But happy it did so I won't question it, haha.

Exited for tomorrows big games now, Germany vs Slovenia, USA vs Lithuania, Spain vs Canada. Are resl treat for all basketball lovers!

Well, that's a nice win and yes deserved win. It's what we're waiting for and at least a host country that has won at least 1 game. While the nation is celebrating for this win. The fact is that they're no longer qualified to 2024 Paris Olympics. And what's a good news not for us but for South Sudan, they're going to the 2024 Paris Olympics. A young country, and just a few years that became member of FIBA is now qualified for the Olympics. Good job to them.

This World Cup is extremely exciting and enjoyable in my opinion. I can't wait for tomorrow's games. I actually lost my bet on Canada, but it was an amazing surprise. Groups I and L are amazing to watch especially. Possibly the biggest surprise is Latvia but as they defeated my country horribly in the World Cup Qualifiers, I knew their potential. Even without Porzingis, they are amazing. Kudos to them. For tomorrow, I see a very interesting odds. Spain 2.96. I don't think it will be a that much of an easy game for Canada. I will bet on Spain.

Finally, a win from the Philippines and I think JC can really put this show on their previous games unfortunately, he was guarded extremely during those games. Having this lead against China can be big boost especially that the Asian game will also take place this Month in China, I’d hope to see these player again to have a better chemistry.

A first win that we will forever cherish and I’d hope that this is not our last as many are already looking for the next FIBA for team Philippines. I’m sure this win will boost our standing in the World Ranking. Also heard the news about the coach of Philippines leaving the team as he received hated from the Filipinos. Anyway, other teams are already heading to the Philippines for the quarter finals, its good to see more great teams playing their hearts out, I’m betting to see Canada and USA in the finals.

Yes, at least they got a win and everyone was playing good in the side of the Philippines. Hopefully, this could be the start of something big for them in the future. Clarkson finally erupted and found his range against the Chinese. It might be good though if he had this kind of shooting against the Dominican Republic in their first game.

But a win is a win and against their rival in the Asian region, so this is a big boost for them. Most likely it will be Canada vs USA in the finals and for sure it will be a great fight but I'm going to the USA as they are also looking very good in this tournament.

I don't know the brackets and who is possible to face each other but Canada has some work to do inside.  Starting Kelly olynick (butchered that name probably) is going to hold them back against the more physical teams but in terms of outside talent yeah Canada definitely has the goods to run the table.

It might be weak, but I think a win is a win for Gilas, we definitely wanted to beat the Chinese so hard in basketball as they are our domestic rivals in the region. So I think majority of the Filipino bettors at least win here if I'm not mistaken.

And it was really exciting to watch it on TV and then Jordan Clarkson hitting those outside 3's. And it salvage the Philippine campaign for this FIBA, and it's first ever win as a host. On the side note, I think this will be the last time that we will see Chot Reyes as coach of Gilas. 

[owengtam09]

Maybe a lot has changed as they got more big man on this one and more likely have taken some wins. But we don't know, even Spain the number one team has been beaten by Latvia. This means that this FIBA is really full of surprises and a lot of teams that have come to be expected perform at their best are not guarantee of a win. It's just sad that our national team hasn't taken any win and if they lose to China this Saturday, our team is gonna be part of history. Yeah, but very bad history of being a team of not having any win as a host country.

It was really unexpected for Latvia to win against Spain but surely the ball is round and you can never know what may happen if the game hasn't ended yet so Latvia got upset for sure, it was a full surprise, but another Surprise was the 1st win of the Philippines against China surely it was really a great game all have performed well including Renz Abando, Kai Sotto and lastly the monster performance of Jordan Clarkson for this game, for sure it was a great game for the last coaching of Coach Chot Reyes for the Philippines because, after the game with China, he had already said that he is now retired as a coach,

If you managed to get Brazil at those odds then congratulations, those are expected for taking down the heavy favorites to win and possibly be in the finals with so many NBA players  being in their roster.
Didn't know Wemby was playing in this tournament until checking out the last few posts on this thread.
With Gobert not doing so good France needs somebody with his stature to take his place in their line-up if they want to advance out of these group stage games.
Watching the Finland vs Venezuela match and they were hanging around during the third quarter but it looks like Finland are finally pulling away from the heavy underdogs now. Same with South Sudan, but the difference is they were always ontop of their game against Angola as it is now half time in their match being up 15pts.

He can likely play for France but unfortunately, he announced that he was dedicated this season to the upcoming game for the NBA readying himself and preparing for the NBA, and taking a rest on the World Cup as the news has said that Wenbanyama is not likely playing for France here is the article and I think some interview with Victor Wnbanyama itself,

It might be weak, but I think a win is a win for Gilas, we definitely wanted to beat the Chinese so hard in basketball as they are our domestic rivals in the region. So I think majority of the Filipino bettors at least win here if I'm not mistaken.

For sure this Rivalry is really deep as likely as I really don't want to say for sure the fact that it was a territory dispute that is not really included in the topic, for sure The game was for the Gilas Pilipinas as it was a very dominant game for them even if Kyle Anderson was on the China team Jordan Clarkson was very formidable for this game, and even though this could be the last game for the Philippines it was really a great game for them,

And likely Chot Reyes's last Coaching as he said that he is now retiring, and as a win for the Philippines this is also a birthday gift for Dwight Howard as he also celebrates his birthday in playing for the Philippines,

Yeah, this is something that was unexpected and made a lot of people believe that every team is balanced and can win the World Cup. Truly a good game against China because before the Gilas was having a hard time to beat them and when it's like we're hearing they were opponent, it's already acclaimed that the Gilas is going to lose with a lot of lead from China but this time, Gilas did the opposite still a good win after all.

for sure it was a great game for the last coaching of Coach Chot Reyes for the Philippines because, after the game with China, he had already said that he is now retired as a coach,

Being the coach only for Gilas but not entirely as a coach since there's still PBA (local league).

Well, you won't see player making 5 3-pointers in a row every day, Clarkson was on fire today. It's nice to see hosts ending on a high note and finally taking win. And congrats to Japan and South Sudan for taking spot in 2024 Paris Olympics.
Can't wait for Sunday's games. In groups I and L we have crazy interesting situation when all teams have chances to got further. But everything is simple - you win your game and you go to 1/4 finals. It's crazy that either Spain or Canada will end their tournament after this stage. My prediction that from group I Italy and Serbia will go next. In other group I go with Canada and Latvia. Latvia is considered as underdog, but after they kicked asses to France and Spain, I don't see why they would would stop on Brazil. And I couldn't resist from making bet on Latvia win @2.25
USA - Lithuania should be very interesting. We (Lithuania) come to this game relaxed, it's not do or die game for us, but if we would manage to beat USA, that would be such huge boost for us before 1/4 final. I'm thinking about making small bet on our win.

He's really lit and on fire together with the other local players like Abandon. I've just read recently that Philippines is going to play with the Olympic Qualifying tournament. That means that the hope and dream for Olympics isn't dead yet. They have to win the Olympic qualifying tournament for which they're going to participate. I know that it's going to be hard but maybe from there, they can give all their best shots. While Bahamas is already qualified for the Olympics and doesn't have to go through with the Olympic qualifying tournament, their team is where probably Klay Thompson is going to play with. And for Japan's growth in basketball, without even Rui Hachimura but only Yuta and one localized player, they are really a strong team and congrats to them as well.

I think this guy Abando should have played more minutes in the FIBA, I mean he is so electrifying that it could affect his team mates and that's what happen here. Clarkson is on fire, Kai Sotto had a good game. I thought it will be close because at the start of the 3rd quarter, Japan took the lead by the Philippines doesn't want to lose this one.

And suddenly Clarkson, he is on fire, hitting those 3 pointers and in matter of minutes he had like 20 points and then the Philippines pulling off a double digit lead. Hopefully this will carry the momentum of Gilas in order for team Philippines to qualify for the Olympics.

[bisdak40]

Since Gilas is already eliminated and they don't have any more games in this tournament and i think people in the Philippines will surely be rooting for the USA to be the champion of this year's FIBA World Cup. They have a game today against Lithuania and i just wanted to ask the opinion of some users here if USA will be able to cover that -14.5 spread as I'm hesitant to put my money on them with that wide spread.
