My prediction on who will be out:

 

1 guard - Ryan Reyes or LA Tenorio (Ryan is bigger but LA is more experienced; Ryan is stronger and better defender but LA offers better court generalship)

 

1 forward - Marc Pingris or Troy Rosario (youth vs. experience; Troy is strong, has good outside shooting, and more agile; while Marc is relentless and has robust heart- the epitome of Gilas fighting cry, "Laban Pilipinas Puso")

 

 

 

This is exactly the same choice of mine. As of now for if I have to cut 2 players for today it will be Reyes and Rosario. But the sure thing is Rosario either way. Rosario is competing for the PF position. We need all the international experience and both Ping ang RDO already has that and they both are the oldest members age wise for Gilas. I think Tab will keep both of them. Plus as of today Tab currently love what Ping is doing on their training camp in Greece. Cause he is consistently doing his role. Set screen, hustle, rebound and defend.

 

As for LA and Reyes, it will all depends on how Reyes consistently hit those 3s in the coming international tuneup games. Cause we only have 1 pure 3pt shooter with Jeff Chan and this line up is lacking of outside shooting. I think Reyes made that cut of the 14 man roster cause of his outside shooting performance against Iran and Lassiter being not available before because of broncho-pneumonia. Tab can easily choose LA because he already had international experience and we all know what LA can bring to the team. If Reyes will not fair consistently on the coming tune up games he will be out.

 

 

Quite difficult for coach tab to choose the 2 who will not make the cut. If I were to pick, I'd probably choose LA and ping only because of their experience.

 

IMHO i'd cut L.A. and Reyes, masyado nang madaming PG dahil andyan naman sina Castro at Romeo

Reyes is known for his long rannge bombs and tenacious defense. Romeo can't facilitate that well so is Castro at times. What Gilas lacks actually is a true point guard (missing Jimmy A.) who can lead, create plays and be clutch when needed. Hopefully we can get these attributes from Romeo, Castro and Reyes. L.A. tends to be erratic. Lassiter is a huge loss because of his offense.

final score: Turkey 103 - 68 GILAS

 

Scores:

Philippines 68 – Blatche 23, Castro 15, Abueva 8, Tenorio 6, Chan 5, Parks 5, Reyes 3, Norwood 2, Aguilar 1

 

TURKEY 103: Semih Erden 16,Barış Hersek 16, Samet Geyik 13, Can Mutaf 9, Ali Mohamed 8,Birkan Batuk 6, Cedi Osman 6, Omer Asik & Sinan Guler, 5,Dogus Balbay & Korkmaz Furkan 5, Ender Arslan 4,Kenan Sipahi 3

 

our defense was not solid we got lapse on our rotation and specially against pick and roll. When we double their bigs or play zone they just move the ball very well and the open man in the 3 are all lock in for turkey. We got killed in open looks in 3s and of course rebound they are really tall. And they are really fundamentally sound team. On our offense not much, we really on one on one most of the time I hope they will work on that. I think if we got tons of preparation time the result might be different (wishful thinking :D ). They still are not yet jelling for me, it really takes time for that.

 

next stop Italy for the pocket tournament. Hope they will be a different team on that tournament and learn from the mistakes for today.

Note: we still have a 2nd crack vs Turkey at MOA area on July 1 as part of our tune up game before OQT.

Per latest update, Marc Pingris is already in...

 

The 2 discards will be taken from LA, Ryan Reyes, Troy, and RayRay

At first nagulat din ako na hindi kasama si Abueva sa final 12 pero kahit ganun hindi muna ako nagpadala sa damdamin ko. (unlike yung iba pindot sa keypad at post agad sa social media akala mo sila na yung pinakamagagaling). Sigurado naman may dahilan at may pinagbasehan yung desisyun ni coach tab.

 

Pero sa tingin nyo si Coach Tab lang ba ang nagdecide nyan? Sa tingin ko kinunsulta din naman nya yung mga coaching staff nya. And tandaan nyo kasama sina Coach Alex Compton pati si coach norman black dun. Yang mga coach na yan may mga experience na yan sa international level lalo na si coach tab nakarating na ng olympics yan. Kaya kahit sino pa yung final 12 ng Gilas susuportahan ko at tiwala ko sa lineup na yan.

 

Iba kasi yung level ng competition dito sa OQT kaysa sa Fiba Asia kaya hindi natin dapat i-compare. Sa Fiba Asia nasa top three tayo sa malalakas na teams and medyo mahaba yung tournament (1st rnd, 2nd rnd tapos knockout round) unlike dito sa OQT underdog tayo karamihan mga european teams pa. Dalawang games lang sa 1st round tapos after nun knockout agad hindi pwede magkamali or else tanggal agad.

whats done is done. hmm..that why LA & Calvin got the least playing yesterday against Italy. Cause they are going to get cut. At least give them more playing time later against China since they are already cut. Since the final 12 roster lineup is for OQT. Or if they wont be playing again later against China. I hope those who were chosen on their place will step up and show up against China. And show Tab that he made correct decision choosing them.

 

 

I agree to this
