  1. olats?!?

     

    hey, the gilas boys went there to prepare

    winning the championship was not the goal

    but for the boys to get a taste and get the experience they so badly need

     

    win or lose with Syria...malayo na narating nila

    at malayo pa ang mararating

    again, I cant wait for around June...kapag solid na talaga ang line up nila

     

    :)

     

    BTW, the only disappointing part about Sampson's game is his health

  2. Smart Gilas edges Al Jazeera, enters semis

    DUBAI NOTES: After the win, Baracael was approached by an Egyptian offering him a juicy contract if he decides to play in Egypt as an import. The former FEU stalwart, however, politely turned down the offer and reiterated his 100-percent commitment to Smart Gilas.

    Ayos ah!

  3. This program is a step towards the right direction. Toroman I think is good, there are things to learn and unlearn for our players. What I want to see is for our team to play the "right" way even if they loose.

    play right para lumuwag? nde ko gets

     

    ang gusto ko makita is that they play better defense

    force turnovers, controlling the boards, make the other team use the clock, etc.

     

    nde ko pa napanood ung mga laban nila sa Dubai

    but from seeing how they played vs the pba teams parang nanalo because they outscored the opposing team, not because they outplayed them

     

    meron bang link sa stat sheets ng mga laban nila?

    paki share naman

  4. Now I remember, the Centennial Team (Duremdes, Meneses, Limpot, Racela, etc.) of Coach Tim Cone, they romp away with the title sa Jones Cup but I forgot kung ano ang nangyari after that. Though it is a friendly tournament the players of Smart-Gilas is gaining the much needed experienced in international competition rather than competing as a guest team sa PBA wherein they are forced to play the PBA style of play. I agree sa sinabi mo with regards sa warning ni Coach Ron noon, applying the same logic, it might be a way for the host country and/or for the other teams to gauge the other teams from the other countries. Masaya pag nananalo ang Pilpinas (in any sports be it basketball, boxing, etc.) but since this is just a friendly tournament they must not be lulled into a false sense of security but rather train harder, just my opinion. Also, me player yata na bago ang SG, Lassiter ang surname..

    well, that's the advantage of having a grizzled international mentor in Rajko Toroman

     

    going back...ang mali ng Centennial Team is that they didnt hold back, not that they were lulled into over confidence

    massacre ang ginawa nila sa teams sa Jones Cup

    what they didnt realize is how much the scouting that happened there

    kung baga inilabas na nila ang lahat ng alas nila, samantala ung iba pagdating ng FIBA-Asia dun lang naglabasan

     

    also, if I remember it right, a vital cog in Tim Cone's triangle offense then was having a reliable mid-range shooter in Bong Hawkins

    Bong Hawkins didn't made it to the Jones Cup or FIBA-Asia because of an injury suffered from a PBA game

     

    the same thing happened with Jong Uichico's team

    remember the bad fall that Danny Seigle suffered on an exhibition game with Lebanon?

  5. I've always maintained that "successes" of the PBA-backed teams were building up for future successes

    that the Philippines will be able to dominate (again) the Asian basketball scene someday

    i admit it, maybe I'm one of those pessimists who thinks that actually winning FIBA Asia is still a lofty goal

    but not in my wildest could I have foreseen that a team made up of 0.1% PBA players (Japeth did play 1 regular PBA game) would be this successful, this early!

     

    baka naman pinapaasa lang naman ako

  6. so as you know, Jordan is playing its national team plus 3 imports

    that means, they have Rashim Wright plus 3 other American imports, one of which is an NBA veteran

     

    that being said, well done Gilas!

    hindi pa 100% yan :)

     

    sana nga kunin nila si destroyer as defensive consultant, he he he

    hindi lang kagilagilalas! baka maging karumaldumal pa!

  7. rudy distrito is back in the philippines..he's extending his gratitude to the ginebra fans. napanood ko sa news kanina

    napanood ko din kagabi

     

    he expressed desire na maging assistant coach to any PBA team who would offer

     

    sadly, I dont think pwe-pwede pa sya sa PBA

    malaki na pinagbago ng PBA since his time

    wala na ung panahon na hinahangaan ang mga tulad nyang enforcers

     

    sana kunin as defensive consultant ng SMART Gilas

    tapos bigyan ng isang wide na press release na sakop buong Asia

    bigyan ng takot ang mga Arabo at Tsino na mga yan...merong kasamang ex-con sa coaching staff ang team Philippines, kagimbal gimbal, dba?

  8. pare, tuloy ba si Pip na tatakbong Vice Mayor sa inyo?

    ewan. nobody really cares about Tirso Cruz, the Pip

    not because artista...wala kasing track record

    tumakbo na un dati...syempre kulelat. baka natuto na

     

    of note (although hindi pa ako botante nun), the late Yoyoy "Butchikik" Villame once served as vice mayor for us

    this was after, I believe, 3 consecutive terms as councilor

    maganda naging performance ni Butchikik sa city namin tsaka hindi lantaran nagpayaman (kung sakali ngang ginawa nya)

     

     

    OT....

    kaya nga hindi ako masyadong sold to the idea na porque from showbiz ay wala nang karapatan tumakbo for office

    individual performance sa palagay ko yan at hindi pangkalahatan

    yun nga lang...wala pa akong nakikitang celebrity na nagkaroon ng positive impact on the national level...panay pang local lang

  9. who they play next?

    Alaska on Saturday, out of town game

     

    May tulog ang Alaska dito

     

    Coke beat them bad...baka maka-isa ang BGK

    also, its an out-of-town game...maganda ang win-loss record ng BGK, most esp. over Alaska, kapag out-of-town

  10. simula pa lang..wala na laro ni Cardona..good team defense on him.

     

    chaka shootan ka ba naman ni Tubid simula pa lang eh..maasar ka talaga.

     

    tindi ng mental edge ni Tubid over Cardona.

     

     

    Nice game by Intal. Even though mejo nahirapan sa bilis ni Alapag at nakahabol ang TnT, eventually, Ginebra locked down, made big stops and with timely baskets and threes by Sunday, umangat.

     

    Nice to see MC play kahit limited minutes. Naging decoy sha..hehehe

     

     

    Caguioa 8pts in less than 2mins remaining in the game. :)

     

    Although may isang airball from the arc, pinakita niya na ang shooter ay shooter pa rin. :thumbsupsmiley:

     

    Natawa ako nung unang pinag-report sa scorer's table si Caguioa nung Q1

    Naghiyawan mga fans

    Pati TnT players lumingon

    Nakasaksak tuloy si Baguio

     

    which incidentally, parang nabuhay yata laro kagabi :thumbsupsmiley:

    limited minutes pero productive just the same

  11. Jamal Sampson ... is he the right one for GILAS? I guess this is a good topic to revive discussions in this thread.

     

    The Guy is big ... plays PF/C. Strong but got limited offensive moves...mOstly close to the basket. If the Team is looking for an interior defender and one that will do the dirty job like rebounding. He could be the one.

    not impressive ung unang laro nya contra barako bull

    sabi sumakit daw likod

    sabi out of shape daw

    sabi 3 months daw and he'll be in fighting form again

     

    abangan ang susunod na sasabihin!!!

  12. I remember a Christmas day game noong '04 against tnt wherein Helterbrand waxed hot, panalo din sila doon pero may Christmas game din yata na natalo sila....

    i believe so too

    if not mistaken vs. purefoods

    and purefoods went all the way to the championships that year

  13. the only reason kung bakit mahusay si urbiztondo is because nde totoong offensive threat ang binabantayan nya kaya nde sya pagod

    as good as johnny A and j. white are...si tubid ang offensive option sa guard position, dba si reyes ang bida dun

    tingnan na lang natin pagnag revamp sa pagbalik ni JJ at Sparkie sa BGK sa playoffs

     

    nde ako sour graping

    it was a good game

    kailangan lang talagang may manalo at matalo

    bad trip nga lang nde pa SLR ang natalo
