Some serious shots in the beginning, the flying punches and flying kicks are hilarious.

Sad to say I am ashamed how my countrymen acted. What a bunch of idiots

Thon Maker is a garbage person. Always looking for a scrap.

Andray Blatche sighting.

 

[UCDaveD]

Remember when Georgetown fought that Chinese team? LOL

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Aussie bench doesn’t step foot on court while their 5 teammates fight a whole squad plus fans throwing chairs.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

And they got five guys ejected to the Phillipines three.

I don’t think so. 9 Phillipine players were tossed to Aussie’s 4. Philippines had to play with 3 guys. When 2 of them fouled out they called the game.

Thon Maker is a garbage person. Always looking for a scrap.

Really? He was protecting his teammate who just got punched and then he did a harmless flying kick.

The real punk was the Filipino guy who started it all with two cheapshots to the face before he got laid out with a forearm shiver. Those guys ganging up on the Aussie on the ground off the court wasn't a good look, neither was the chair throwing.

Yeah, I stuffed that up. I was listening on the radio and that was my memory. My only excuse is that it is hot out.

The Philippine players were the instigators and aggressors who threw multiple cheap shots. The kick was unintentionally hilarious.

The actual Australian live call of the fight was funny. "this has gone wiiiiiiiiild....in the Philippines!".

idk how to directly link the vid, but it's right here:

Boomers and Philippines match erupts in 'sickening' brawl that sees match abandoned

"I mean...Blatche should be fined for throwing such a soft punch anyway."

 

[MadDogRevival]

Like a bunch of girls fighting. Was expecting hair pulling.

 

[MattMang23]

I am most impressed with how seamlessly the Filipino announcers switched between English, Spanish and Filipino.

The Americans? Aussies? Or, Pinoys? "bunch of idiots" applies to some of each nationality, but the partial Filipino play-by-play commentators' neutral reporting was humorous.

 

[RipCity]

It honestly looked like nobody on either team had ever been in a fight before. Thon Maker looked like he was playing dragonball Z. The other guy jumped and threw a punch. So funny

Pinoys. One particular Filipino player was already playing dirty the whole game. Being the host country it was not their shining moment.
Hey did you work in the Philippines? Impressed in the way you used Pinoys. Wait...unless you are a “kababayan”!

Have you watched him in an NBA game? That was par for his course

The last benches clearing brawl I remember in the NBA was Malice in the Palace

Thon Maker is doing flying karate kicks in most games?

Dude, he grew up in the South Sudan.

Anytime there is something remotely contentious he’s there to escalate it. Obviously this was already very escalated but it’s just what he does.

 

[Horatio]

Basketball players are the worst “ fighters” amongst all athletes. They’re horrible and the effort is never 100%. The punches always look like they change their minds halfway after throwing them. All that contact/action and no blood or concussions. Wimps.
