Remember the days when you were riding the bus to work and Love Radio, Campus Radio, Mellow Touch, or whatever radio station was playing this John Mayer song in the background?
Oh yeah, this gave me the "Why, Georgia" feels.
Gilas Pilipinas has moved on to the semifinal round, and Georgia unsuccessful tried to win by at least 19 to make the next round.
With their backs against the wall, Georgia coach Aleksandar Dzikic devised a desperate plan that even Gilas once employed during the Chot Reyes days.
And it's frowned upon by a lot of folks.
Again, the quotient system sucks. With that said, it has been a blessing for us. The reason why we're here in the Olympic Qualifiers is because we won over China in the 2023 FIBA World Cup. Meanwhile, Georgia had no choice but to do this to maintain their standing. The problem with this though is that they need to win by 19 in overtime, and realistically, a team can't lose that much in overtime.
I mean, with the way Orlando Magic forward Goga Bitadze reacted, as well as how speechless Dzikic was, it felt as if the mentor, who just had the coaching job this January, has seen the writing on the wall if he can't lead the team to a FIBA World Cup invite.
