Team Pilipinas Basketball

[RED2018]

Coach Tab has this scheme of experimenting on tune up games. And the scenario (venue, fans, at stake, attitude, etc.) is just very distinct on actual competition; thus, its not always a clear indication or gauge of how we will actually perform on the game/s that really counts.

 

Let's just hope they obtain their chemistry on time...and sustain them throughout the OQT

[kind patron]

I hope Gilas gets lucky this OQT para di sayang tickets namin.

 

Hot Shooting + Crowd Support + Opp's Cold Shooting

i hope coach tab really got to his senses on that abueva cut.

 

if height is the main concern, then he should remove reyes and go with calvin.

Calvin sometimes plays the no. 2 position in Alaska with this kind of lineup in the PBA (Thoss, casio, manuel, import, abueva)

 

Ryan reyes doesnt play the PG spot effectively anyways. Much better to make Parks the PG.

Abueva's energy and defensive hustle is irreplaceable in that team.

 

Wag naman sana dahil sa influence ni "chup" reyes at ni Papa MVP...

Full Support on Gilas, It just really sucks that Calvin is cut, wew. Biggest Heart.

Yes tough for all of us who know how hard Calvin plays and his possible contributions. I'm sure Coach Tab has reasons for the 12 remaining players. Probably to utilize height and athleticism against other players. Let us just support the team regardless of those who made the cut or not. The team needs every Filipino's support so we can qualify. Good win against China!

[*badass*]

Absolutely...it's not about the players anymore. This is about our country now. The 12 man gilas team are all deserving of their slots. Let's all be one nation in supporting our team. LABAN PILIPINAS!!!

Hindi naman totally nawala sila LA at Calvin, nasa reserve list pa din sila at kasama pa din sila sa mga practice game ng Gilas. Anyway babalik na pala yung team natin dito sa pinas. Isang tuneup game na lang ba sila against turkey ulit?

Si japhet naman ang 6'10 na kung lumaro parang 6'2.

[matchb0x]

Medyo mataas ngayon ang height average ng gilas natin kesa nakaraang taon.

Tab Baldwin encouraging Calvin Abueva to embrace shooting guard role for overseas play

“Against this level of competition, he’s only a shooting guard at best,” Baldwin said of Abueva, who can hit the occasional three-pointer. “Right now, with the type of players we’re playing against, we have a better fit.”

Do we really have a chance against France?

[bangad]

Do we really have a chance against France?

i think slim ang chance considering halos nba calibers ang lineup - batum, de colo, diaw, lauvergne and parker. but it would still be entertaining to see both romeo and parker dancing with each other.

 

gilas against new zealand, tough malalaki ang kiwis pero mukhang may chance tayo. puso!

[ppdd]

Gilas 4.0 lost again to Turkey in their last tune up game.. pero mas maganda na pinakita nila ngayon, losing by just 9pts

sayang yung mga free throws, dami natin namintis.. pero there's still time to adjust

[*badass*]

i think gilas 4.0 still have a lot to show. come the qualifying and with a jampacked moa arena, expect team pilipinas to give it all.

[RED2018]

It looks promising/encouraging...but Jeff's a letdown, he should deliver; no ifs and buts

[crunk]

Naku kapag hindi sila nagperform, yari sila kay Presidente Digong, manonood pa naman siya ng live.

[smyts]

Too many help defense, they forgot euro basketball is more of shooting. All euro basket players can shoot 3 and are good free throw shooters.

That is why, NBA players are trained to defend 1 on 1 during practice. Perimeter defense is Gilas weakness on defense.

[late bloomer]

Go Gilas! Puso!

[smyts]

Batum won't play against Gilas and New Zealand.

 

Good and Bad news for Gilas

 

[Gringo*]

1 tulog nlng.. LABAN PILIPINAS #UTAK!! sana maka silat sa france para kahit di mag qualify eh mapag usapan sa Int'l sport ang pinas

[smyts]

buti di nag laro si Steven Adams sa NZ =)

[batman99]
