Team Pilipinas Basketball

[munchkins and donuts]

watched the documentary sa QTV last Sunday night.. youthful enthusiasm ng mga players plus heart and pride for flag and honor ang nagpapanalo satin.. ang lakas nila mag-asaran..

 

example..

 

Maggi Sison - "Oi tol.. nasa dyaryo pala tayo.. ay, KAYO lang pala..hahaha" (kasi lagi syang bangko eh..)

 

Barroca: eto po ang idol ko.. si Chris Tiu "Th Captain" lupet ng mga jumpshots mo sa pick and roll.. turuan mo nga ako nun..

may filipino player pa pala na naglalaro sa US.. 6'10 daw siya half chinese.. naglaro sa ateneo eaglets few years back.. plus ung anak ni bobby parks na fil-am stands 6'4 naglalaro din sa US college ball. baka pwede subukan ng smart gilas itong mga to..

[catsumhoto]

i suppose with the money already spent for this team we could easily scout for a couple of good boxer then train them for the olympic gold.... this teams target is only for the qualifyng for an olympic berth which is really a tall order considering we still haven' found a player to man the slot.... we should learn from our experience with manny pacquiao.... he has con

naghahanap pa din naman ng import for citizenship ang gilas dba?

naiisip ko lang, why not former celtic, Antoine Walker?

 

He's 6'9", easily pang- forward-center sa Asian Bball

Baka kayanin pa ung budget

The Final Score: Boxing by Heart. Basketball by Blood by Mico Halili

 

We love Pacquiao today. We’ll surely go bananas for boxing on Sunday. But we will always be a basketball nation. One won’t find summer boxing meets in every corner. Starting this month, basketball tournaments will sprout in all forms: inter-barangay, inter-village, inter-color, inter-everything. The average Filipino will be hard-pressed to name five boxers who actively fight for a living. That same person will find it just as hard to name five able-bodied Filipino males who don’t dribble a basketball by choice.

Read in a news article na bankrupt daw yan si Antoinne Walker kaya malamang hindi nya kakagatin yung offer ng Smart Gilas maghahanap yan ng bigger pay somewhere else.

aba.. ok rin pala si Mico Halili ah.. akala ko isa syang Anthony Suntay in the making..

 

right on the money.. at the end of the day, it's still the Filipino's love for basketball.. kita nyo naman sa goal.. which is to be at least included in the London Olympics.. ganun tayo kawilling maghanap ng resources for a very modest goal..

 

while its true na may tendency mapabayaan ang ibang sports, pwede naman maiwasan yun eh...

may result b regarding the tune up games with australian team?

[Agent_mulder]

Panalo ang SG based sa nabasa ko sa phil. daily inquirer kahapon..

[Guest megalodon]

Panalo ang SG based sa nabasa ko sa phil. daily inquirer kahapon..

I read that SG won over their junior team and second national team. Now if this is really their second national team, it means that this is Australia's second-best team after the team of Andrew Bogut and company.

[Agent_mulder]

Maganda ang naging stint nila sa Australia. Also, kung allowed ang isang team to field in two naturalized players, then SG might want to consider Gabe Freeman as one of their two naturalized players, Freeman might only stand around 6'6 pero ibang klase maglaro eto at bilib ako sa work ethic n'ya, ang sipag nito on both ends of the court....

[catsumhoto]

the aim of SD is quite noble however we have been reduce to scouting potential naturalized payers instead of developing your own grassroot... let face it we will never earn an olympic medal or even a world medal in our lifetime..... we are rank no 50+++ in fiba.... china is rank among the top ten... and to be consistently rank among the world top team we should be able to sustain a program that will carry us into the next decade... really do we have the resources to lure high caliber foreigner o enlist for our team? look at what happened to both giles and sampson.... bottom line is MONEY TALK..... even if we are able to qualify for the london olympics what next?? to be able to sustain a sports program, we should have the players to buck up that program.... we may have beaten the austrailian team but remember it a friendly game and not a regular tournament.... talent is not everything if you are engaging in a sports where there are no l limitation in terms of built and height..... im not saying na masama manangarap... go ahead let us compete... who knows maybe during such tournament the entire delegation of the top contender might encounter some problems and we might even won a championship by default... hehehe

Sana inayos mo na muna grammar mo, at least man lang, tumumpak ka.

[rakizta]

ayos may english tutorial pa dito ah..... :cool:

[Chet213]

i give them a 50/50 chance of even qualifying to the olympics, thats actually the main goal and the ONLY goal.

 

they would need 2 big men that can run, and a 6'6++ guy that can play the 2 spot and has to be a solid shooter at that

 

if you look at how basketball is played in fiba its all about how the players move without the ball..

 

take em to europe and get used to how the zone is played.

[lambanog]

Smart Gilas is not the ANSWER, it's the SOLUTION.

I believe that the Philippines could get into the top 3 in the next Asiad. The naturalized player should be a shot-blocking demon, a rebounder and a low-post threat. He doesn't have to score in bunches coz the others will take good care of that. Yup, SG should as much as possible participate in European tournaments or have exhibition matches with European teams.

I think the Smart Gilas idea is a noble idea and allows us Filipinos to dream that someday just maybe a Filipino Basketball team will again bring glory to the country. It doesnt need to win gold in the olympics but at least compete with the best teams in the world by qualifying for tournaments like the Olympics, World Championships, and winning the Asian Championship.

 

And Gilas is a TEAM, plays as a team and stays within its system, not a bunch of me-first basketball players.

 

About getting a naturalized player, well all the other countries do it why shouldnt we? Russia had JR Holden, the US team had Hakeem Olajuwon and Tim Duncan, Japan, Lebanon, Jordan all have naturalized players. Half-Filipinos are still Filipinos by Citizenship. So we are just merely trying to do what others have been doing for a long time.

SG had a relatively successful campaign in its recent European tour. Their record was 1-4 but that's good enough considering that they were ranged up against taller and seasoned players.

so ur measuring their success based on their win loss records???? Since they got a win then "relatively" it was successful. If the did not win any games then its a failure.

 

I believe the success of this trip can't be measured by the games won or loss but by the experience they were able to get. If the team learned some lessons in this trip irregardless of the record which would help them win games in the tournament that matters then it is an absolutely successful trip.

go gilas! :thumbsupsmiley:

kahit 1-6 lang

Kaya nga sinabi ko relatively successful coz they won one and gave their best shot inspite of being relatively new to the international scene. Any more retorts stalker? I suggest you enter the mental hospital peithe. Gusto mo lang makabawi sa idol mo na si megalodon kasi nabara ka dun when I burst the bubble of your beloved saint Hollinger and made you look like a fool when you insisted that there still would have been a Gasol even if Bynum didn't injure himself. You really should have a lobotomy. Ikaw na yung pinakatanga na nakaargue ko. Sige na bopols. Magwala ka ulit just like you always do pag nabara kita. Sisiw ka barahin.
