I didn't see it. You made that post so you should know what you put there. Certain ba na mananalo ang SG sa Qatar. Certain talaga? The only thing certain is that you don't know what you're talking about.

Well, develop another sport that we have capabilities to be champions or at least a good fighting chance. Hindi lang naman basketball. Para kasi naging fishball, nandun lang isda sa loob ng aquarium. Hindi na nakakalabas, nadidilat mata. Puro basketball, puro basketball....yes, its our national sport (hindi na sepak takraw) but that does not mean you have to spend millions of dollars on a walang kakahinatnan na sport. Yung kasing tumatalo sa atin, ni hindi pinapansin ang basketball sa kanilang bansa. And sa atin, puro basketball, basketball, basketball, tapos wala man lang placing. WAKE UP, GOVERNMENT. WAKE UP, MVP, WAKE UP PEPING!!!

It isn't that easy to drop a much loved passion, taking away basketball is like taking away a leg or an arm from each of us.

 

May I ask you how empty did you feel that the last SEA Games in the Phil which didn't had a basketball event so is the Laos SEA Games?

 

Which sport may you say do we dominate and should concentrate on? As I know almost in every sport we are always considered as underdogs, except for Manny Pacquiao who is widely considered as a "once in a lifetime athlete" or a "phenom"

honestly if the philippines never send a representative in any competition they have sure sure shots of loosing. sending Smart gilas atleast we have 50-50 chance of winning better than having a sure egg.

 

dati nde ako pabor sa naturalize players. but after watching Doha Asian games, ive got their point. Daming somalian at sudanese na nagbigay ng ginto sa napakaliliit na bansa ng bahrain, qatar at kuwait. They dont think about pride of not having 100% pure local. They trash that pride and keep their flags waving. Just like american, can they depend their national faith in native american indian??? Ung mga players ng Lebanon ung iba dun French national na converted muslim lang. Remember pag nagconvert ng muslim papalitan ang name nila.

Dapat mawala ang malas ng PH team para bumalik tayo sa top 3.

Nope, did not missed them during that SEAGs. I just observed other sports that have medal potentials for the Philippines. What sport? One is volleyball. yes we have the height to match the other teams including the internationals, not just in Asia, AND.....hindi physical. Natatalo tayo sa mga physical games kasi nga ayaw masaktan at mapilayan all because their eyes are on the high paying jobs sa pros. Yes, you can have sprained ankles sa volleyball but not that nangyayari sa basketball. We have the speed, the height, and the guts for volleyball. Another thing, maliit lang espasyo for the sport na hindi kagaya ng football, baseball. I remember when Fischer won the world championship over Spassky sa chess, basketball took a backseat sa Pilipinas and chess became the national passion at that time.Nasabay pa sa pagiging grandmaster ni Eugene Torre. I think lang na siguro kung ma instill lang sa mind ng Pinoys that we have pag asa sa ibang sports, lalayo ang loob ng Pinoy sa basketball "passion". Same thing when SEAG were held here early 80s, with Lydia de Vega, Del Prado, Carmelo, Thompson, Buhia won medals, halos napuno ang swimming pools, tracks sa Metro Manila and provinces.

In fairness naman kay Asi, buo ang loob niya for the Philippines, tawagin mo yan, sugod kaagad sa pagtanggap unlike sina Marlou, Ildefonso, J Yap, etc. and daming dahilan. Pero dapat talaga si CABAGNOT na lang pinasok, isang franchise player, isang clutch shooter, isang long haired mean man, isang .........................alamat! mawawala ang malas ng PH lotion,este,team.

Mr. President of Alex Cabagnot Fans Club, let's start a signature campaign for the inclusion of Idol Cabagnot in Smart Gilas!

[peithe]

It is definitely a big blow but just like Toroman, I believe we could get a medal.

 

 

Not sure if Haddadi will play but if he doesn't, SG has a big chance of beating Iran. Haddadi ga ve Yi fits in the FIBA-Asia finals last time.

 

 

I didn't see it. You made that post so you should know what you put there.

 

 

Sir eto po un sinabi ninyo na na quote ni rooster ... para di ka na mahirapan sa paghahanap.

 

So from believing that we could get a medal it finally ended up hoping for a 5th place right? That is per your word what you call a fair weather fan. Un napagtatalo na kasi ang Gilas biglang nagbago pananaw mo.

 

I could have been wrong in my prediction that we will end up 5th ...i won't give excuses, but at least in the end despite all the team's inconsistent performance during the tournament I still end up optimist for this team.

 

 

Anyway, there goes the 2010 Asian Games and we look forward to the future. I believe this tourney is already a guage of our team. Let us lower our expectation and hope for the best. As long as we know we've given our best despite all the limitations we have then we should all be proud win or lose.

 

Actually hats off to Asi, we've seen a lot of Pro's turning down invitation to play for the national team. But si Asi pa mismo nag volunteer even if he could have opted not to.

 

Sa NBA nakikita marami rin players na very selective sa pagsali sa international tournaments. Just look at the likes of Kobe, LBJ, D-Wade and the rest of the members of the last Team USA Olympic champion squad. Lahat sila hindi naglaro for the World Championship pero isa-isa na nagpapahiwatig ng intention na maglaro sa susunod na Olympics.

Si Asi talaga ay tunay na Filipino Patriot.
