I haven't watched a Gilas game in a while, and watching this one made my blood boil. Disgustingly bad "set plays" on both ends of the floor reminded me of PBA kalye ball that is never gonna fly in an international competition and that turned me off from watching Philippine basketball for a long time now

I wasn’t able to watch this game. Did another coaching fumble occur?
Yes, but also personnel issues.
Our defensive rotations were bad. You had two guys overplaying one side, leaving the other wing open. It led to open shots for Pogoy and Sotto's men, killing our comeback.
Clarkson's points were a little inefficient, too. Lots of turnovers from sloppy handles, lots of blown layups, and a bunch of bricked threes. Even Junemar blew a dunk, lol.
But the worst part was not protecting an 11-point lead. It was a low scoring game, so we didn't necessarily have to put up points, just made sure they weren't getting any open shots or putbacks.
