Team Pilipinas Basketball

[howarddeduct]

Paano na ang chemistry?

[orionquest]

barocca, tiu and casio are all playing the same position as mercado. redundant

 

may punto ka sir! magtiwala na lang tayo sa plano ni toroman kung bakit kinuha niya si mercado.

[Richmond]

just a plain basketball fan's point of view...since they allowed PBA players to suit up, i believe Cyrus Baguio should be included in that roster.

 

Can't forget his spectacular ankle breaker against a Japanese defender in the last Jones Cup that he participated in.

[silentkilla]

ang smart-gilas ba ay basketball program lang ba? i heard this is a sports program and it's not only focusing on basketball alone, totoo ba? if totoo heto, dapat lang pag-ibayuhin ang sports na kasama dito na mas malaki ang chance natin to excel at the international level.

'Yung kasing klase ng laro ni Cyrus mahirap bantayan as he can shooot, penetrate and create at malaki sana ang maitutulong n'ya sa SG kaso nga lang 'di man lang s'ya nasama sa list ni Toroman who opted for Sol Mercado

plus, cyrus can even play point @ 6'2"... malaking bagay din un kung malaki ang point guard ng kabilang team para sa match up..

Yup. thats right. at maganda naman ang training program natin eh. We have a very good coach in toroman. and a very supportive management in pangilinan. Ung last tournament natin is an indication of how far we can go. Remember Ang legitimate center lang dun is Taulava pero we give the middle easterners a very competetive fight. Pero kelangan pa din natin ng mga malalaking tao but not necessary 7footers khit 6'9 lang pwede na basta kayang mkipagbanggaan. Ang problema kasi ung mga sentro natin mga malalamya pa kaya hanggang ngaun si Taulava pa din ang number one center na pantapat natin sa asya. Malakas ung guard and swing line-up natin un nga lang sa forward at center mejo kulang pa. Pero kung mahahasa si slaughter ballesteros at aguilar (which is a major disappointment) malaking bagay na un. Pero kaya nating makuha ung Asian Games kasi hindi naman nagpapadala ang mga middle east sa non-fiba tournaments. Eh laos na ang china at korea mga arabo talaga ang dapat bantayan.

I agree to this observation...IMHO Skyrus is more versatile than Sol

 

Maybe, Coach Toroman has some other ideas...

[CELTS]

sa aking opinion, Coach Rajo might have wanted a shooter than a scorer. Si Cyrus kasi although he can score he is more of a penetrating guard. It would be difficult for him to do that in Rajo's system wherein the philosophy is more on passing to be able to create the shot for the team rather than penetrating to draw the defense and create open shots.

[crackerbolt]

^ kaya kinuha nya si sol mercado.

[blitz]

^ shooter ba si Mercado?? I would prefer Dondon Hontiveros... defense and shooting!

ksama sa listahan si dondon siya dapat ang 2nd choice after james yap.. pero siguro inisip ni Rajko na mejo malabo ng makuha si dodndon kaya si mercado na kinuha niya.

[xtreme188]

sana makapasok na ang gilas sa olympics

[Vegasboy32]

sana makapasok na ang gilas sa olympics

 

sana. para makapasok sila sa olympics kelangan matalo nila ang China at ang iba pang top teams sa asia.

With Douthit, Taulava, Slaughter and Aguilar, SG has 4 big guys who can bang in the inside although Aguilar is more of a finesse player, I think he'll have to mix it up in the inside with the big guys of China, Sokor and Iran.
