Latvia takes care of The Philippines in OT
December 11, 2006

__.111-104
Latvia vs. Philippines
[Box Score]

(AP) Tokyo, Japan - Coming off from a loss against Italy, Team Latvia bounce back as they win over Team Philippines in overtime. The action-packed evening featured two teams go into an extra period. During the 1st quarter, the Philippines lead all throughout. Philippines' Center Asi Taulava had 8 blocks during the first; manhandling Latvian counterpart Kaspars Kambala. In the 2nd quarter, the Latvians retaliated with a run fused by steals and 3's while the Philippines had gone cold scoring only in the post. The score was close at halftime with the Philippines leading 46-45. In the 3rd, the Latvians continue their attack as guard Armands Skele shoot 4-for-4 from the floor. Philippines guard Renren Ritualo countered the attack shooting a couple of 3's but in the end the Latvians came up with the lead 69-66. The 4th was a close one with the Philippines fighting back. The game was close. With 2.2 secs left, Latvia Center Kaspars Kambala hit a jumper that left the Philippines with a slight 0.2 ticks to take the last shot. Danny Seigle's shot went in but the referee waived it off as the shot was too late for the buzzer. In overtime, the Philippines went ahead with a 6-0 nothing run but the Latvians fought back. Leading the way in overtime for the Latvians was guard Roberts Stelmahers. Stelmahers hit everything from the floor while having great assists for big shots going down the stretch. The Filipinos, who were worn out, shot a miserable 30%. Only guard Willie Miller was hitting his shots but it fell short as The Philippines fall into Latvia 111-104. The two teams now have an identical record of 6 wins and 4 losses. Latvia will face Serbia & Montenegro on Wednesday while The Philippines fly to Kyoto to face Bosnia & Herzegovina who lost to Italy earlier today.

[Arcane]

tough break against latvia

[PiksS]

goddamn man, you beat everyone amazing like Argentina and stuff... but you lose to a shitty ass country like Latvia... oh well.

just go and fuck yourself!!!....really!

pff...the Latvian roster is all fake sadly Kambala doesn`t play for latvia anymore, so doesn`t Stelmahers Sadly that there is no Kalve in the roster, cuz he is mybe the next NBA player from Latvia, if he improves a lil bit more this year in Germany, then he will have a better career in the NBA, than Andris would have in the next 5years!

so you cant take the fact that your country's basketball team isnt up to par?
I mean, I'm rooting for Mikki and the Pinoys, your country is just another one in the path.thus they'd be subjected to ridicule.
if you are that mad, why dont you make the national team and do someting about it, make them better then.

[Ruff Ryder]

Did you make cyberfaces for all of your players? Anyway, this looks real nice.

hmm...i know that LATVIAN BASKETBALL TEAM isn`t that great, but i was talking about the fact that u said "shitty ass country like Latvia", have i ever said something bad about your country??? NO!

and how the hell can i make the latvian Nteam better, i just can`t go them and teach them to play ball better in future!

well either case when i said it i was refering to the level of the basketball team in latvia, not the country and the people itself, you guys are probably nice people. would you guess when you refer to a country and you are in a dynasty thats talking about the country's basketball team that you'd be refering to basketball instead of the people and the country itself?

get better and make it.
and latvia is not a shit country. sorry for your misunderstanding

[killer_cr0ss0ver]
