heyitsme Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Nice showing by junmar. Against argentina I think we should rest Andrei to preserve him for Puerto Rico and Senegal Quote Link to comment
RED2018 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Tough luck for our Gilas...bad start and well scouted tayo ng Greeks. They protected our 3-point zone kaya daming tapal sa 3 point attempts. Nonetheless, Junmar and Ping played well. LA gave a cheap shot to a Greek defender on his groin (talking about Ginebra pedigree, hehe!). Ganda rin laro niya. Bad start lang talaga...Dapat nga ipahinga muna or use Blatche sparingly (bugbog na reminiscent of Kuya Marcus' time) for the better chance games against Puerto Rico and Senegal Quote Link to comment
omnipresent Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Our Gilas boys are making a good showing, so far so good.0-2 but proud of what they are showing. Quote Link to comment
RED2018 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Croatia beat Argentina by 5. We only lost by 3. Mas nahirapan pa ng konti ang Croatia sa atin. I do not want to dwell on this and we may fall to a 'trap', kasi Croatia exhibited better teamwork against Argentina and they're on a rebound following what they labeled as 'not-so-good' performance against our Gilas. Sometimes, a team performs better with a rated opponent. Tsaka maaaring Croatia underestimated Gilas or was it surprised by same. Remember in the qualifying FIBA Asia, we performed 'poorly' against Saudi and Hongkong but clobbered rated opponents. Minsan kasi may complacency and blanket security. Nonetheless, we'll be glad if the scores above are indeed indicator...but obviously, we have a chance (not like what we think before we went here in Sevilla) Edited September 1, 2014 by artedpro Quote Link to comment

Nonetheless, we'll be glad if the scores above are indeed indicator...but obviously, we have a chance (not like what we think before we went here in Sevilla) I think its more about managing the games. Everybody is playing back to back to back... games. Even in the NBA they already "complain" when playing back to back games. How much more this one. So all teams are managing games. But as I stated before the games began, Gilas is capable of surprising some teams. Gilas surprised Croatio (but unfortunately lost), Greece was more prepared and yet they still hung in the game. So now it's now time for Coach Chot Reyes to decide on how to manage the games. Players cannot go full throttle on 5 straight games. Eventually they might loose to the teams where they really have a chance of winning. Gilas Pilipinas can still pull an upset on Argentina, however, I think some other players (that have been sparingly used) need to explode. Hoping that Gary David will explode, remember I said before he may be a non-factor for majority of the games but is capable of one big game. Since Chan is already a marked man, maybe Gary D. could be the one to bury those three point shots. Norwood may also explode (like in the tune-up games), but he usually has his hands full in Defense that I wouldn't expect this from him. Fajardo has shown too that he can match up against the "bigs" of other countries. Again, everything we see here is positive so far even though Gilas Pilipinas have not yet won a game. After this World championships, they would definitely have a learnt a lot to win it all in the Asian Games in Korea. Quote Link to comment

azraelmd Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 1409591787[/url]' post='9397486']This loss is a bitter pill to swallow. Nocioni got under Blatche's skin. We had this. I blame this on Blatche. When we made the run and went up ahead by 10 pts during the 1st quarter....it was all filipino with junmar in the middle..without blanche...sana pinahinga pa kaunti ni chot si blanche....Tapos yun last 2 mins ng 4th quarter ...halatang nde na makatalon si pingris..sana pinasok nlang si junmar...nakailang offensive rebound mga argentinians....Sana wag paghinaan ng loob ang gilas....LABAN PARIN! PUSO! Quote Link to comment
azraelmd Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 1409592195[/url]' post='9397490']it is what it is was done is done.. lets reset our minds.. lets try to get every positive. I dont want to say what they need to do or over analyze cause I'm ready to move on.. Damn so close yet so far.. Buti ka pa....im still thinking of all the what ifs in that last 24 seconds....sayang castro..... Quote Link to comment
