Marcus Douthit salamat!

Marcus Douthit, kaw na ang may pusong Pilipino!

 

Great defensive game by Gabe Norwood vs NBA vet Jarvis Hayes. And other teams should watch out for Japeth "like it's HOT" Aguilar for those awesome throwdown dunks!

 

Hope Qatar beats Taiwan tomorrow so Philippines will rank #1 in their group.

Diba free seating sa Gen Ad so may tendency na mag standing din dun? Kamusta naman ang view sa Gen Ad? Hindi ba sobrang layo na or same lang din compare to Araneta Coliseum?

Congrats again Gilas! Hands down to kuya Marcus Douthit for playing despite of being hurt. Special mention also to Jeff Chan for those cold blooded threes, Gabe Norwood for a tremendous job of defending Jarvis Hayes and Japeth Aguilar for those rim rockin' dunks!

 

Now we hope that Qatar beats Chinese Taipei by more than 15 pts.

Laban Pilipinas !!

 

boss, ang alam ko dapat manalo ang Qatar sa Chinese Taipei, pero dapat less than 15 points, kahit 1 point lang... kasi pag natambakan ng Qatar ang Chinese Taipei, mag no.2 pa din tayo...

 

so dapat less than 15 para tayo pa din pinaka mataas na quotient

Any medical bulletin update on Kuya Marcus' knee inury???

[junix]

Is there a possibility that china ends up at no. 2 in the other group?

No longer a possibility.

 

Kazakstan lost to Korea and will lose most probably to Iran (on going; tambak na Kazakhs). And all of the Group of Death leaders, Iran, Korea, and China (in that order) didn't/won't lose to their other 2nd round joiners, Bahrain and India.

 

Only the foregoing scenarios can muddle up the standings (but predictably, it didn't/wo'nt happen)

[RED2018]

Even if India beats Korea tonight, they will tie with China @ No.2, and still get the No. 2 slot by virtue of win-over-the-other tie breaker

copy that chief...so a gilas-pilipinas vs. china quarterfinals showdown looms if qatar doesn't win against taipei. but if qatar beats the taiwanese and gilas beats hongkong tonight, we top group e. thus, we face the kazaks in the quarterfinals? is that correct?

At this point, I think the Koreans are playing much better than the Chinese. We just don't know how serious Yi's injury is and whether he will definitely play come the quarterfinals. But I think the Chinese team without Yi maybe a fairly good match-up for Gilas. Medyo hindi kasing husay ang kanilang PG vs nun PG ng dating team nila.

 

One thing for sure is that it seems the road to a top 3 finish is easier if we end up number 1 in our group so let's pray that Qatar will win their game vs Taiwan (by a small margin). If that happens we could be facing Kazakhstan in the QF then S. Korea in the Semis. I like our chances vs the Kazakhs so a win then over South Korea assures us of 2nd place. A lost means we can possibly face China for the 3rd and last slot to qualify for Fiba World.

 

 

 

 

I rather face China and /or S. Korea in the later stages than a win or go home situation in the QF.

Yup. We can top our Group only and only if Qatar wins against Taipei by a margin below 16:

 

If Qatar beats Taipei by a margin of 1-7, Qatar stays at No.3

If Qatar beats Tapiei by a margin of 8-15 Qatar will be No. 2

If Qatar wins by 16 or more, Qatar becomes No.1

 

So you see, Qatar is in a tricky proposition and will be in a quandary. Sure it will be great getting into the quarters on a winning note. But No.2 would be dreadful, and the possibility of being No.1 is salivating. Medyo delikado lang pag nabitin sa lamang. Kung ako Qatar, I'll go for the win but by a small margin para lock sa No.3 at nanalo pa.

 

UPDATE: Qatar 29 Taipei 28
