idecris Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 you must look at Arwind's value beyond his physical attributes... he plays bigger than his size because of his long arms, hops and quickness the most important thing I like about Arwind is that he's a difference maker, he makes important plays and his presence is felt on the court. Meron nga jan mga mas malalaki pero pag pina laro mo, parang wala rin... mga walang silbi Si Arwind meron at meron gagawing magagandang play yan on both ends - offense and defense.. Sayang talaga, I wish he was included Quote Link to comment

Vegasboy32 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 One thing about Santos is he's long and can guard the opposing 2 or 3 of the other team. Ang nakikita ko lang problema kay Santos pagka ang ka matchup nya Small Forward na mas malaki ang katawan kesa sa kanya. I don't know about guarding shooting guards. He does not that have the quickness to defend against the shooting guards of other teams.. All his life he has been playing Power Forward or small Forward. He usually defends forwards on the low post. Quote Link to comment

Kaso puro malalaking katawan ang mga small and power forwards sa international competition if you watced mga gmaes nya sa smart gilas outmached cya pag nilagay sa 3 or 4 position tall and lanky nde pwede pag panfiba na... Mas ok pa si mark barracael kesa kay arwind pagpaminternational na usapan pag bumilis cya pwede sya pambantay sa 2 position altho inconsistent 3 point shooting nya Quote Link to comment

jepoyskieLOVEbianca Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 It's nice to hear Douthit's assessment of the Gilas team... http://www.philstar....-gilas-be-no.-1 yeah! Douthit is very much right!!! the reason why the Philippines today is losing basketball games to asian countries is because we are defeating ourselves! guys, try to look at each player individually... looking at individual skills... our country is definitely the best and the most skilled player in Asia!! what we lack is teamwork, and the most important thing... HEART!!! karamihan sa mga players natin, takot nang ma-injured... kasi sayang yung malaking kinikita nila sa PBA... wala na yung puso sa laro pag international na... guys, wag kayong magagalit sakin... shineshare ko lang ang observation and opinion ko... tignan nyo na lang sila James Yap, Arwind Santos, at marami pang star players... pag international na, nawawala yung galing... kaya nga mas tuwang-tuwa pa ko dun sa GIlas 1 eh, kasi lahat sila amateur pa, mga may gusto pang patunayan, para makuha sa PBA... kaya yung laro nila, halos binibigay talaga ang best... kinapos lang talaga... sa mga players ngayon, may pagkakataon na tayo, sana wag nyo nang sayangin... minsan lang dadating sa atin ang pagkakataon na to... ibigay nyo sana yung best nyo... buo pa din ang suporta ko sa Team Pilipinas!! let us bring back the days na pag ang nakalaban natin sa game eh Iran, Jordan, Qatar, Lebanon, UAE, Japan, Chinese Taipei, palaging sure win na... dati pag yan ang katapat natin minimum na 20points win... walang imposible... dati nga tinatambakan natin yan... at sila nangangarap na makadikit man lang sa laro... ngayon tayo naman ang sabay=sabay na mangarap, na maibabalik natin ang nakaraan... we do not lack skills or height... puso lang... puso!!! galingan nyo Gilas 2, marami kaming nangangarap na makapaglaro para sa bansa... pero hindi sa amin ibinigay ang galing at height na meron kayo... kaya sana gamitin nyo yan, ibigay nyo best nyo!! para sa Pilipinas!!!

RED2018 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Jason Castro may be fearless and hard to stop in the PBA, but can he replicate his 'successes' in FIBA (where guards are smarter and quicker, and centers more fearsome and more accurate shot blockers). Sana lang mag-click siya. Jayvee Casio has time and again proven his worth in the FIBA, and maaaring nadagdagan ang maturity niya in his short PBA stints (with Powerade and now Alaska). I'd go for Arwind Santos than Japhet Aguilar. Have you seen him played against the legit NBA stars (Kobe and Co.) in a not so distant past? He was awesome (well it was only an exhibition, but NBA stars are NBA stars- the FIBA world champion, mind you. Parang hinahagod ni Coach Reyes ang ego ni Japhet matapos itong mag-sentimyento sa forgettable stint niya sa TnT. As for Arwind, maybe (just maybe) naiilang pa si Coach sa consistent stance of SMC (altho ok na ngayon kasi ma-cricriticize sila as being non-cooperative on national interest)na magpahiram kaya si Junmar na lang kinuha. I'll bet my half-year salary, Japhet won't make the final 12. I think I (including whoever traded him out of TnT)will be vindicated here. Japhet really is just an athletic basketeer. He's just spectacular when he can make his favorite moves. But he's since been read by opposing players. He has not been a major factor in Globalport's quest and ambition...What more sa Gilas team.

Guest demon nick fury Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Arwind Santos of Petron is trying to convince his mother unit to allow him to play for the national team Smart Gilas just in case Kelly Williams doesn't recover in time. I think Arwind is a good substitute. Quote Link to comment

jepoyskieLOVEbianca Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Why Group A and not Group D was Chot's choice? ganito ata yan bossing... kaya group A ang pinili ni CHot, kasi sa Elims round robin, tapos the top 2 teams for each group advances Quarters... Quarterfinals will be do-or-die... (not 100% sure ha) eto ang scenario... in case we finish in top 2 of Group A, we will be up against group D in a do or die match example.... Kunwari top1 tayo sa Group A = makakalaban natin top 2 ng Group D (kung titignan mo yung group D, kahit sino makapasok sa Quarters dun eh kakayanin natin...) Kung top2 tayo sa Group A = makakalaban natin top 1 ng Group D (sabi ko nga mas kaya natin yun) so mas malaki ang chance for us to be in the semis .... kung mag-group D agad tayo, we could easily land in the top 2, the concern will be in the quarters... makakatapat natin top2 ng Group A, which possibly could be Jordan and Chinese Taipei... so sa tingin ko, Coach Chot decided to try to land in the top 2 against Jordan, Chinese Taipei, and (anu pala yung isa???) and then face less pressure in the quarters against weak Group D... than easily advance in the quarters but face a harder opponent in a do or die... ang unang misyon kasi dito eh makarating sa Semis, kasi 4 teams na lang kayo...eh Top 3 teams will advance sa FIBA world championship... so mas may liwanag na ang daan pag nasa semis na tayo...

jepoyskieLOVEbianca Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Who should be cut from the final roster of Gilas NT? What you think guys? magandang question to bossing ha... parang kung ako si Coach Chot, mahihirapan din ako... halos lahat sila pakiramdam ko kailangan ng team eh... siguro may slight disadvantage lang kay Belga, kasi although malakas sya medyo maliit sya para sa posisyon nya sa team eh... isa pang possible na matanggal eh si Marc Pingris... pero honestly... malaking bagay din kung makakasama si Marc Pingris sa line-up... yung energy and desire na nadadala nya sa team malaking bagay yun... tsk3, napakalaking dilemma kay Coach to ah... kung ako tatanungin, wala akong tatanggalin kay Fajardo and Aguilar... kasi sila pantapat natin sa matatangkad ng ibang teams, plus may nasisilip akong advantage ni Aguilar kumpara sa ibang bigmen ng ibang team, kasi mas maliksi sya, sana nga lang magamit nya yun... syempre shoo-in na si Douthit... sa guards napakalaking hirap din pag-isipan... kailangan mo si Norwood kasi big guard sya, possible match-up problem sya sa mga coaches ng ibang teams... you need Alapag dahil sa experience, maturity, saka basketball IQ nya... syempre hindi mo tatanggalin si LA Tenorio dahil i believe sya ang nagdala sa Pinas sa Jones Cup... at magaling naman talaga... si Castro naman, kailangan natin yung hustle nya... saka magaling din... tapos si David at Chan, kailangan sila ng team para may threat tayo sa labas... sila ang magiging dahilan para maka-operate yung bigmen natin sa luob... plus who would remove a Ranidel De Ocampo in his team di ba??? threat in both inside and out... sino pa ba player na hindi ko nabanggit??

avi_sala Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Para sa akin it's better kung si Larry Fonacier na lang ang tanggalin nila. Andyan naman si Gary David at Jeff Chan. They can do what can Larry do... Quote Link to comment
RED2018 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I dont think Marc Pingris will be left out. He was already given assignment of scouting scorers of opposing teams from the get go. Coach Chot's logic is that he can guard small to tall players. Pero in such preparation and advises/inputs from experts, everything may change... Quote Link to comment
