tama lang yung ke LA except wala yatang natural PG na naiwan...

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

sir pwede ba malaman ang source nyo bukod sa live stats?

 

 

 

TiA!

2 bad losses. Ngayon panalo na rin pero not in a convincing fashion. At least no injuries. Chances of getting thru fiba qualifiers look bleak.

Coach Tab has this scheme of experimenting on tune up games. And the scenario (venue, fans, at stake, attitude, etc.) is just very distinct on actual competition; thus, its not always a clear indication or gauge of how we will actually perform on the game/s that really counts.

 

Let's just hope they obtain their chemistry on time...and sustain them throughout the OQT

[kind patron]

I hope Gilas gets lucky this OQT para di sayang tickets namin.

 

Hot Shooting + Crowd Support + Opp's Cold Shooting

i hope coach tab really got to his senses on that abueva cut.

 

if height is the main concern, then he should remove reyes and go with calvin.

Calvin sometimes plays the no. 2 position in Alaska with this kind of lineup in the PBA (Thoss, casio, manuel, import, abueva)

 

Ryan reyes doesnt play the PG spot effectively anyways. Much better to make Parks the PG.

Abueva's energy and defensive hustle is irreplaceable in that team.

 

Wag naman sana dahil sa influence ni "chup" reyes at ni Papa MVP...

Full Support on Gilas, It just really sucks that Calvin is cut, wew. Biggest Heart.

Yes tough for all of us who know how hard Calvin plays and his possible contributions. I'm sure Coach Tab has reasons for the 12 remaining players. Probably to utilize height and athleticism against other players. Let us just support the team regardless of those who made the cut or not. The team needs every Filipino's support so we can qualify. Good win against China!

[*badass*]

Absolutely...it's not about the players anymore. This is about our country now. The 12 man gilas team are all deserving of their slots. Let's all be one nation in supporting our team. LABAN PILIPINAS!!!

[Soraoi_empire]

Hindi naman totally nawala sila LA at Calvin, nasa reserve list pa din sila at kasama pa din sila sa mga practice game ng Gilas. Anyway babalik na pala yung team natin dito sa pinas. Isang tuneup game na lang ba sila against turkey ulit?
