I'm suggesting OP to make a poll, we can make it as our reference on what team we should beat.
Regarding the pool, I am sure he can't do it with this thread anymore unless he makes another started topic about it. It will be good to see a pool to vote for the country you want at least 3 votes per user.
With that news with a 40/60 chance to get Clarkson, I guess he will not, a good thing if it does. Blatche is a good all-around player as I see on the previous matches with Gilas. Hope injuries don't really happen to them if they will be accepted by FIBA.
I agree, having Clarkson in the Gilas Team will be a big help, however, Blatche has build a chemistry with the players so he will be a boost if he is going to play again. Of course USA is the heavy favourite to win, so it's really hard to bet against them as this point.
