Sadly,our chances against Australia is SLIM to NONE.
I give Australia a 30-pt plus edge over the smaller
ill-prepared, inexperienced Gilas.
But I hope and pray that my crystal ball is kaput!
Dollar to donut Australia will shellack Gilas by no less than 30 pts.
Gilas will also lose — if ever they meet soon — against Jordan, China
and Korea. I don’t see any antidote to Korea’s downtown bombadiers, not
in this Gilas roster. Also that Big Man of Jordan was and is a tough nut
to crack. China this time will again use its superior height and athleticism against our boys. Sorry, but that’s how the ball bounces for Gilas.
BUt Gilas might upset one of those three IF Clarkson, Slaughter, and Blatche
could play in the coming series. Sorry, Standhardinger won’t cut it against these three opponents.
