They could have lost 1 of them and still made the championship.


They should have paced themselves better knowing the format.

IF THEY LOST THE WORLD GAME
BY 2 OR MORE PTS
THEY DONT MAKE THE FINALS.

TRY AGAIN

THEY SET IT UP HORRIBLY
FOR THE OLD TEAM

THEY WERE GONNA HAVE
TO WIN 3 IN A ROW BEFORE
THE TOURNAMENT EVER STARTED
WHICH MEANS SILVER WANTED
THE WORLD/YOUNGSTERS IN THE FINALS
:devil:

So one team having to win 3 games and the other team only having to win twice isn’t flawed to you?
Not really, in the regular finals you’ll have one team that might’ve won 4-0 every round and another one doing 7 games in every round.

But with that said, it’s always gonna be flaws with so many restrictions. You’d need a regular game to not have any flaws.

But I did like the idea with a half-time show or something. Cause now the old heads and global had to do go all in to the end. And then play vs a gang of fresh youngsters

I think it's clear it's not the format, but it's the player's drive. Once somebody sets the tone, then they start giving a damn. They just need to go back to East vs West and hope somebody sets the tone early. I don't think we need any gimmicks to create an exciting game.
That’s all I’ve been saying. Wemby is that player who’s a tone setter. I think even if Cooper Flagg gets selected next year, he’ll play hard as well. Also, say what you want about Trae and Lamelo, but they would bring showmanship and fancy passes if they were selected to the game.

I was just thinking the same about you. Is the concept that incredibly complex for you? Or what’s your problem?

There’s no competitions that I can think of that requires the winner to win more games than the winner except like Tennis/table tennis and fighting sports. As you need to be undefeated to win.

AS IF THEY CAN
CONTROL LOSING
BY ONE fukkING PT.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
BETTER THAN TO RESORT
TO TROLLING WHEN WRONG

:devil:
:evil:



The tiebreaker if all three teams finished 1-1 was point differential

... so, yes, they'd have to figure out winning or spamming shots so that they only lost by 1.

SUPPOSED TO "PACE THEMSELVES"
AS YOU SAID
IF THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE
SURE THEY DIDN'T LOSE BY
MORE THAN ONE PT IN A GAME
THAT CAME DOWN TO THE
