Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson put on a show (28 PTS, 7 REB, 7 AST & 20 EFF) in the FIBA World Cup 2023 opener for the 38,115 spectators, who set a new World Cup attendance record. Unfortunately, Clarkson fouled with 3:30 remaining and the Dominican Republic with Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns (26 PTS, 10 REB & 19 EFF) took advantage of that & edged out the Philippines 87-81.

Love the competition. Towns is clutch
Italy is beatable. Though the chance is slim. Angola showed us how we can stop Italy's offense. With good defense from Gilas and 16% from the 3pt just like they showed in Angola, I'm still not losing hope.
1:41 Chot could've used another athletic big to man the paint to block KAT's shot. The other DR big is not even close to the ring.
Feel bad for Philippines people they love so much basketball it will be amazing for the if they could qualify sad also for Clarkson he really wants to help them
Fire Chot Reyes!
they just need to fire the PH coach, so tactically immature, most Filipino fans hate him for many years now
Coach Reyes' system is only for Clarkson, it's isolation, isolation, isolation, no team play. That's why the Philippines lost to the Dominican Republic. Notice how the game turned ugly when JC fouled out, and look at all the players. I didn't do anything. I didn't dribble. bribble 0fg in the 4thquarter what the fuck good luck in your next game, I don't know if you can win, I respect Clarkson, but in Chock Reyes' coaching system, fuck you
Philippines need a coaching system all player are talented but the coaching system in basketball is very messy
As a Filipinas we are not really expecting to much in todays Gilas Pilipinas line up. Not really hype up squad. I really thought we could win that match. Unfortunately Clarkson made a mistake. I hope we can win 2 more games to atleast has a chance to advance to the quarter finals.
