| Sep-02-14 | | pinoymaster77: SULIT pa din ang puyat kagabi, parang 4 quarters ng SHOOTOUT in OK corral eh! Thats says it all the Argentine Coach na kasama din daw sa San Antonio staff eh admitted he couldn't figure out Gilas' game, and pati Argentinian players bumigay na kay Captain Jimmy 'Might Mite' Alapag! (mukhang hihirit pa fans na huwag muna mag-retire ah). Ang sakin lang (to the risk mabisto edad/generation) eh nung 1974 ba yun ang sentro natin the reedy Jimmy Mariano na actually forward tapos backup pa yata nya eh si the 'Big Boy' Reynoso na mga 6'1" pero bariles/space taker (lolo siguro ni 'extra rice' Belga), tapos guwardiya natin sila Yoyong Martirez, Arnaiz and the Big J.
Nung panahon na iyon, sanay na tayo na makitang matambakan national team natin. Aba this time di na doughnut team natin, nandyan na Blatche, si 'd Krakken' Junemar, Pinoy Sakuragi and unique na si RDO. Tapos aside from Kap Jimmy, eh how about those 2 THUNDEROUS dunks from top defender Gabe Norwood? Na-posterize pa si Scola ajeje... PINOY na agad si Blatche! I still think pag retired na golden generation nila na kasama Nocioni Scola and Prigioni, kaya na ng Pilipinas... https://ph.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/f... |

| Sep-02-14 | | pinoymaster77: Best performing Asian team ang PHI / Gilas dito, puro laban at dikit vs 'bsketball powers' #16 Croatia, #5 Greece and #3 Argentina! Kabado na siguro sila for Asian Games, tingin ko kahit wala si Blatche eh mag contend ang Gilas ! https://ph.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/t... |
|
| Sep-02-14 | | pinoymaster77: Argentinian Coach Julio Llamas admitted it himself.
A tearjerker when I was reading Kap Jimmy's interview, he really epitomizes Gilas' puso ! http://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/n... http://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/n... |

| Sep-02-14 | | Pulo y Gata: Effort should be appreciated but in the end it's the result that counts. In chess for example, "almost" does not count; flashy sacrifices are only justified if they obtain the desired results. Basketball is a zero-sum game-you win or lose. At least chess has a draw, which make it better, aside from the fact that the player is solely responsible for his play. I also wish Gilas could win at this level-that would be a great thing to cheer for back here. However, they've got three losses already and it is very optimistic indeed to find small "wins" despite the actual loss. |
|
| Sep-02-14 | | torrefan: I must admit, however, that Gilas has potential. We should naturalize more big American players for the team and we are ready to conquer the world stage. |
|
| Sep-02-14 | | SugarDom: I'm still very proud of the Philippine team. Remember that was ARgentina former world champions and we almost won. If MVP is at the helmp of PH olympiad team we can even win a medal. We will just pay 50k Euro for one Russian to play. |
|
| Sep-02-14 | | torrefan: Gilas could have won had it not castled long: O-O-O. |
|
| Sep-02-14 | | Pulo y Gata: I am watching the PHI-ARG replay now. Close, close, but no cigar. Nice dunks by Gabe Norwood! |
|
| Sep-02-14 | | arkitekto: Playing for COUNTRY actually turned these underdogs into beast mode...because there is extra motivation than just personal glory. Thats Gilas. Same is true with sir Eugene last olympiad...i hope the rest of the athletes would realize that. |
|
| Sep-02-14 | | mysql: It's a learning experience. Maybe in the next generation the Philippines can even compete without any naturalized imports. |
|
| Sep-02-14 | | bubuli55: Sinquefield Cup has become a fabulous Fab Show instead of a tournament. |
|
| Sep-02-14 | | epistle: <arkitekto: Playing for COUNTRY actually turned these underdogs into beast mode.> Still, they are just angry puppies compared to their big opponents. <because there is extra motivation than just personal glory.> yeah, money.
<mysql: It's a learning experience. Maybe in the next generation the Philippines can even compete without any naturalized imports.> they can compete even now without those imports but the margins would be bigger: at least 20 points per game. |
|
| Sep-02-14 | | pinoymaster77: GM Fabiano SWEEPs the Sinquefield Cup with 6/6! And if my understanding is right on 2700chess.com, his live rating is 2861 and overtook WC Carlsen. How about a MATCH when Magnus regains some form, any private organizer out there ? |
|
| Sep-02-14 | | pinoymaster77: Mamaya 730pm game ng Gilas vs Puerto Rico, first time na primetime natapat, probably every Pinoy TV set will be tuned in to the game !? Overlap pa sa Peace Cup ng Azkals, they battle Taiwan at 7pm, I think sa Rizal field. |
|
| Sep-02-14 | | Pulo y Gata: I hope they win against Puerto Rico. Blatche has a limp though; might affect his play. The close games agains Croatia and Argentina could have been won; history was waving its hands but the players were unable to rise to the occasion. |
|
| Sep-02-14 | | bubuli55: Puerto Rico maybe the team Gilas can beat. I don't think they can beat Senegal. Does anybody know a link where I can check the stats on their previous games? Thx! |

|
| Sep-02-14 | | SugarDom: It will be easier to beat Senegal than Puerto Rico. |
|
| Sep-02-14 | | Pulo y Gata: Didn't Senegal beat Puerto Rico? It also beat Croatia ata. PR offers Gilas a better chance to win. |
|
| Sep-02-14 | | Iskubadayb: Parang pison si Fabio. Pisat ang bawat madaanan. Apaw sa enerhiya ang bata. Parang si Bobby bago naging kampyon. |
|
| Sep-03-14 | | torrefan: Puerto Rico had lost two key players due to injuries.
It is therefore possible for Gilas to achieve its best result: losing by just one point. Go Gilas! In the meantime, the Champion in the Manila Fiba qualifier, Iran, is likewise a tailender at its group bracket. Which shows that the tournament held here, where millions were spent, and where Gilas placed second, was a tournament of basketball patzers. |

| Sep-03-14 | | spawn2: Another close loss for Team Gilas:( Was forced to dine in Shakey's Katipunan to be able to watch the game. Noticed that we are missing a clutch shooter in the mold of James Yap who can take the shot during the dying seconds of the game. We can get close but cant take the win in the endm
Gilas will have to fine-tune its line up in prep for the Asian Games and another shot at the FIBA Asian Championship on its next run. Still proud of the Team. PUSO! |
|
| Sep-03-14 | | bubuli55: < spawn2 > thx for the update :) I'm not able to watch the games from here but from the kibs I figure we are competitive because of our speed and puso to offset the height disadvantage. Except at the end. Maybe it becomes a half court game at the end. I mean usually with close games timeouts are called and defenses are set. And set plays must be fluidly executed. Do Gilas have set plays where they really have an open look or they just flat out miss? Or are those shots contested? Do they have pure shooters and slashers.
How are they on defense? Are the games high scoring games? Are their opponents scoring above 90's ? Oh well. The team probably just needs more seasoning. :) |

| Sep-03-14 | | pinoymaster77: Sugar,
Oo nga ano, head spinning covering the sports and may bisita. 6 players nga pala and 1 round eh 5 games. May 4 rounds pa. Round 10 pala ulit Carlsen vs Caruana |
|
| Sep-03-14 | | pinoymaster77: 1 game pa bukas vs Senegal. Hope may mag PEP talk sa kanila lalo na MVP, and they're not tired physically and psychologically. Eto challenge / pampagana para talunin Senegalese...
