Sana ibigay na a PH ang hosting so we can see gilas 3.0 in action in our own town

Malamang i-distribute yan...isa sa europe, isa sa south america tapos isa sa asia.

Sana Clarkson can play, his confidence is building up. And with Andray (and Jason Castro) together on the court, Gilas would be a tough nut to crack

Hope Blatche is in better shape this time around though. And that Romeo becomes more acclimated to international play. Feel ko parang Tenorio yung route niya eh: was great sa Jones Cup but shrunk during FIBA play.

schedule ng Lakers problem ng gilas, kung gusto talaga nila kunin si clarkson, kaya di siya pinayagan mag laro nung FIBA Asia kasi start na ng training/pre season ng lakers nun

Should we host one of the Olympic qualifiers with a line-up starring Clarkson, Slaughter, Fajardo and Blatche, I now am inclined to think we can qualify. Had Kraken and Gregzilla been in China last year, I think we would have clobbered China and won the gold. Yi and that matchstick of a player, number 15, may be taller but I don't think they could handle the bigger Kraken and Gregzilla. That line-up that Tab fielded last year wasn't the best line-up. The Rock was already a has-been, the Boss was not consistent and seemed lost, and Ganuelas just didn't have the game for these types of tournaments. Hontiveros was the only one among them who seemed to fit with Gilas but he disappeared in the gold-medal game

can we just imagine a gilas team made up of clarkson, blatche, fajardo, slaughter, castro, abueva, norwood, romeo, lassiter, aguilar and even a healthy de ocampo. china would've eaten dust even with those handpicked chefs...refs pala hehehe

[junix]

The referees helped China and that wasn't even the best team Gilas sent. China would be soundly beaten if Clarkson, Slaughter and Fajardo are in the line-up.

i agree

Philippines to host one of 3 fiba olympic qualifying tournament.

Nice! Like I said, I think we can qualify. I guess the Gilas players in the pool are excited since they are gonna be performing in front of their countrymen. SBP should now move heaven and earth to include Clarkson and Slaughter in the final line-up.

agree...clarkson should be mvp's next mission. with blatche, clarkson, slaughter and a healthy junmar, i think gilas 4.0 will have a fighting chance to grab the last ticket to rio.

Bring here Croatia , Senegal and Lebanon please

Time for payback vs Haddadi and Co...

 

This is a very good news indeed for us...something to look forward this year...sana wag na natin sayangin to...

[RED2018]

I have a feeling Jordan Clarkson will play...He wants it, we want it, and FIBA would not be too hard to apply 'rules' (if there's still any that may bar Jordan) on us being a host and a sentimental and exciting returnee to the qualifying tournament.

 

However, the Lakers organization may somehow get into the way...Let's be hopeful we get positive development.

if we only have the luxury of "time" to really train and prepare for this big one. nonetheless, i'm sure with the home crowd on its side, gilas 4.0 will give it its best shot to get that ticket for rio.

 

btw, what's the possibility of rayray being included in the lineup?
