Team Pilipinas Basketball

[sakmobratko]

They have a valid reason to feel bad ... these kids, most if not all of them decided to skip turning pro for the chance to play for flag and country. They have sacrifice a lot and at the last minute, their slot would just be taken away by someone who have not even played with the team for at least 6 months. That's UNFAIR ...

 

Moving forward, kung balak lang din naman din ng Gilas Management na humugot ng PBA players, why not create a pool of say 15-24 players that is open not only to amatures but players from the PBA as well. Let these PBA players appeal to their mother clubs to allow them to play for the Flag if they so desire and they should at least attend 2 practice session of the Gilas team on a weekly basis.

 

As I remember last year. itong mga batang gilas ay nagmamalaki at hindi raw sila for the sake of money like pba pro and hanggang ngaun ang motto nila ay play for flag and country... bakit all of a sudden gusto ni toroman ng pba cager sa Gilas? Ito rin ang niyabang ni japhet, kaya umalis sya sa pba draft, ano nangyari? napapakinabangan b sya? may attitude problem sya kaya di sya pinasok ni yeng during powerade team pilipinas at yun din ang dahilan ni toroman. si tui sabi nya nung pba invitation, brawler daw ang pba teams.. dapat mag train sya kay Jawo para malaman nya kung pano makipagpatayan sa bola. tapos nababangko lang sila sa gilas ngaun.

 

Di ako magugulat kung maraming Gilas ang mapapasama this pba draft and I think mawawala rin itong Gilas team kc the real goal of this team is mapabagsak ang pro league.. sino ba mag board nitong gilas? noli eala na tinapon ng pba because of scandal and lots of people here only wants revenge.

 

to make this short: Pba pa rin ang dapat ipadala.. RIGHT PLAYER SELECTION AND COACH LANG!!!!

 

PEACE PEOPLE

Sangayon ako sa sinabi mong Right Player and Coach ngunit idagdag na rin natin ang Right TRAINING Program.

 

Iba na ang panahon ngayon di tulad nun dati na angat na angat ang talento ng Pinoy pagdating sa basketball. Ngayon sa SEA na lang siguro kasi pagdating sa Asia naabutan na tayo ng iba nating mga kalaban. Samakatuwid hindi na uubra ang usapang talento lamang dahil mayroon din nito ang ating mga kalaban, minsan higit pa. Ang aking paniniwala, kahit kulang ka ng konti sa talento ngunit matiyaga sa paghahanda, minsan ay mapupunan nito ang pagkukulang at nagiging maganda ang resulta.

 

PBA pa rin ba dapat ang ipadala? Kung talento ang paguusapan, di hamak makikita ang mga magagaling na players sa PBA. Ngunit ang kulang ay ang pagbigay bawat isa ng tamang panahon upang magsanay. 1sang dekada na tayong nagpapadala ng PBA players at iba't-ibang pamamaraan ng paghugot pero mukhang di na tayo umaasenso. Kung mga amature players naman, ang sasabihin naman ay kulang sila sa galing.

 

Kaya ang sa aking palagay, buksan ang pagpili ng maglalaro para sa bansa sa kahit sino maging pro o amature player na handang magbigay ng kanyang oras sa pagsasanay at magsakripisyo. Pwede tayong bumuo ng 24 man pool at mula dito pipiliin ang ipadadala sa iba't-ibang tournament.

Lolo Asi will play for Gilas!

[RED2018]

The key word is DEVELOP:

 

Rajko Toroman is one of the best basketball coaches in the whole world.

 

He is also human.

 

He has forgotten that: The SBP Gilas program is a developmental program.

All the players in the Gilas program were personally hand-picked by him. To be developed as team members of the Philippine men's national basketball team. That is not happening anymore.

 

If he wanted the professional players to eventually play in the national team, then he should have hand-picked the professional players he wanted from the start.

 

If you want to build an efficient, magnificent, delightful vehicle (a car, perhaps?) -- then you must plan, revise, execute and test that vehicle. You will get high-quality parts and you will expect those parts to perform.

 

You DO NOT replace already running parts with sub-standard or un-tested parts.

 

Once the vehicle that you've built appears to be running already, you will come to the conclusion that you must still make some revisions. Sometimes, you will want to remove some parts that you've observed is not helping the vehicle to achieve its fullest potential.

 

At a certain point, major parts must be revised -- or removed.

 

There may even be a point where the visionary of the "vision" must be removed. If only to achieve the dream, the vision.

 

Unless, of course, we just want to build a jeepney.

 

If everything fails (with all efforts and means exhausted), then it's not really for us- that's the time we should redirect or streamline our vision.

COKE thumbs down Gilas request for ASI

COKE thumbs down Gilas request for ASI

COKE thumbs down Gilas request for ASI

why the sudden change of heart?

[Liar]

“Smart Gilas asked for a reconsideration of our initial and unofficial position. And because this is for flag and country, we agreed to reconsider,” said Baylon. “I think it is an honor for Asi and for his team as well.”

 

The PBA board unanimously approved SBP’s appeal but one board member said “the request raises question on the initial claim of an SBP official that they didn’t and won’t ever need PBA help.”

 

[HunkDavao]

as expected smart gilas is working against time and talent.... they are looking to recruit PBA players to beef up their campaign for the ASIAN GAMES.... WE nid a longer program and not the band aid solution to our woes.... it will take us more than a decade to come up with filipino players who are tall enought to compete at the ASIAN LEVEL

 

It is not just the height that matters and has been the lack of the National Team. It's the hunger and spirit and pride to play for the country. These kids are once again just Showbiz personalities who will play in the PBA if they were all given the opportunity to do so with the combined salary.

 

How to get a team full of National Pride?

 

Get a bunch of PBA players to play for the National Team with just allowance to support them. There you will see what matters more, money or country.

 

Nuf said.

 

[khilua23]

this would be asi's role for the smart gilas team..

[ben_hurt19]

they now have Asi..ano kaya mababago nya?

[rakizta]

Asi is not enough for the National Team campaign..they need to hire another big man

[mangkadio]

i think this is a bit extreme..

these people have families too..

you can't expect them to play only for allowances..

if this is the case wala na talaga maglalaro sa kanila

hindi dahil ayaw nila pero dahil wala na sila ipambubuhay sa pamilya nila

karamihan sa mga ito (honestly speaking) has nothing else but basketball

even the current Gilas players have multi-million contracts under their belts

 

country matters to these players but money matters too not because of money per say pero dahil sa pamilya

 

we have enough good guards, look for a big man outside

yun lang naman ang kulang e

naturalize a player

yung matino..

[orionquest]

bakit nasali si lolo asi sa team? la ng itutulong to.

[khilua23]

bakit nasali si lolo asi sa team? la ng itutulong to.

 

ayon nga sa link na binigay ko, asi would be their mentor.. kasi 2x na siya nakapaglaro for the national team.

 

plus injured nanaman si japeth...

i agree. it's one thing to ask them to play for country. it is another to ask them to play for free or just for allowance. it is very easy for people to pick on those who choose to play for the pba instead of smart gilas. we already have 3-4 members of smart gilas who declared for the pba draft. money is money but awards and medals cannot feed a family. buti nga ngayon, anjan to MVP to form smart gilas. dati, nagrerely ang Philippine sports commission sa PBA kung magpapahiram sila ng players or not. pag hindi, kahit sino na lang pinaglalaro nila. bakit sila walang makuhang player? kasi walang pera ang psc para paswelduhin ang players.

Same here! Reality check...

[khilua23]

gusto naman pala ni coach erik spoelstra na tulungan ang smart gilas... bakit di makipag exhibition game ang smart gilas sa miami heat? siguro naman with wade, james, haslem, and bosh sa heat eh talagang mapapasabak ang smart gilas..

good idea... pero... asian teams nga di natin matalo, miami heat pa...

FIBA-Asia Stankovic Cup UPDATE :

 

 

Lost to Lebanon (again)

http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=601123&publicationSubCategoryId=69

 

Then, defeated Syria in their second game, 81-67 (okay daw laro ni Japeth and ASi)

[khilua23]

good idea... pero... asian teams nga di natin matalo, miami heat pa...

 

hindi yung winning against the heat ang pupuntiryahin dun kung sakali... para magkaroon sila ng experience playing with bigger, athletic guys. kung magkaka experience sila makipaglaro sa heat, mas magiging madali sa kanila makipaglaban sa mga asian teams. plus, playing against the heat could boost the confidence of smart gilas players.

[Liar]

Heat against Gilas ... malabo yan. anu naman ang mapapala ng Heat para makipag-scrimmage sa Gilas.

 

Tutal pupunta rito ang legends na sina Payton, Richmond, Rice at Webber. Maganda siguro silang apat at dagdagan ng PBA legends na sina Caidic, Samboy Lim, Patrimonio, Paras, Magsanoc etc ang paglabanin.

Smart Gilas won against Jordan, 75 - 71

[RED2018]

'Import' Asi carried Smart past Jordan:

 

BEIRUT, Lebanon (3rd FIBA Asia Stankovic Cup): With their PBA ‘import’ playing his role rather well, Philippines played well within themselves and earned a 75-71 win over defending champions Jordan in a Group ‘B’ game on Monday.

 

Philippines, thus won their second game for the second successive night, and are now 2-1. Jordan, who are using this event as a part of their preparations for the 2010 FIBA World Championship, have suffered their second successive loss.

 

Asi Taulava, brought into the line-up for this competition “to add size”, returned a double-double – a dozen rebounds with a Baker’s Dozen points – to lead the Philippines charge.

 

“He (Taulava) has definitely added size. He’s responded well to the team not too bad. I think we can look at using him in the long term too, ” Philippines coach Toroman Rajko said.

 

Marnel Baracel was the SEABA nation’s leading scorer with a 16-point haul.

 

Chris Tiu scored 13, and Mark Barocca returned an incredible 80% on the paint (4/5) in his 12 points.

 

Rasheim Wright, yet to gain full match fitness began to find his touch – something that pleased Jordan coach Mario Palma for the long term – and had a game-high 17 points.

 

“It’s alright. Am getting to feel better, ” Wright said.

 

Sam Daghles had 15 points and Ayman Idais had 11.

 

The two Zaids in the Jordanian line-up – Abbas and Al-Khas both pulled down 11 rebounds each.

 

“Such defeats don’t really matter. What we have to introspect is, if we did what we expected to do right, ” Palma said.

 

“I think our outside shooting has been very bad so far, ” Palma said.

 

Jordan converted a mere five attempts in three-pointers out of the 28 times they tried from the perimeter
