Team Pilipinas Basketball

[minisushi]

The thing is Thoss does not have a good perimeter game that could extend to 15-18 ft away from the basket. Devance is more athletic/agile too which is badly needed to defend against the BIGS of Asia

 

 

 

that is if he is willing to use his defensive skills if at all. takot masaktan toh. he'd rather settle for outside shots

which is effective naman I should say. Sonny defends and rebounds better imho.

If either one makes the team it would be most likely for the PF position. Thoss plays Center but is undersize against the centers of opposing teams. will his D hold against taller players? JDV as you said don't play D. well I guess there's the reason why both are not in COACH Rajo's wish list

Takot naman talaga si jdv kaya wala akong kabilib bilib sa mokong na iyan, gusto pa mas mataas sa maximum salary ang maging sahod niya.

Parehong puro porma lang ang 2 na iyan sa PBA pagdating sa international competition walang sinabi.

Good luck sa ASEAN Championsip

[CharlesOngSy]

Sana lang, kahit mag retire si Asi sa international competition, or even the PBA, he would still play an active part in the Philippine basketball development as some sort of a skills coach to out up coming big men like Junmar Fajardo or Greg Slaughter. Malaki maitutulong nila in sharing his experience in developing their talents.

 

I second this. Asi will indeed be a great trainer of big men in the future

[CharlesOngSy]

naturalized big men. our guards are pretty good tough. kaya yan

 

 

Correct. We have also some up and coming big men like Slaughter

[Naninandesh]

Si slaughter malambot pa! Patigasin muna katawan.

how about this: SBP to arrange series of tune up games for Smart Gilas against selection of NBA players.

 

"An SBP insider said team officials are coordinating with former Sacramento Kings great Chris Webber to bring reigning NBA MVP Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls, Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant and slam dunk champion Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers to Manila for a series of games.

 

Also being mentioned as possible participants in the tune-up games are Kevin Love of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Andre Iguodala of the Philadelphia 76ers, Mario Chalmers of the Miami Heat, and Tyreke Evans of the Sacramento Kings."

--->gagastusan kaya ni MVP yan? o kukunin din ang bayad mula sa load at kuryente?

[launchpad]

this is a joke! another kind of those non sense like tim cones days of saying johnny A days of playing in the nba! or the likes of trash talk that has nothing.

 

this players has live contracts with their teams, unless the nba allows it but if not why would they risk the possibility of getting injured wherein if its outside their contracts options to come here and play. unless its a promotional tour done by their sponsors thats another thing.

 

also what kind of BS is this, the Gilas playing with derrick rose and elite nba players for practice games? its like you wanted ice cream and you go get it next thing you know you have a bowl in front of you and wala you are spinkled with NNNUUUUTTTTSSSSS . . . yes your NUTS!!!

 

this is a complete non sense even if you talk to a chris webber!

 

for me its a another propaganda to spun gilas into a trendy . . . just to cover up their performance in the last competition they played in and their futile results.

[renothegreat]

ilaban na lang ung smart gilas sa mga semi-finalists ng on going 3rd conference ng pba,pwede pa cguro.................

Masyado namang ambisyoso ang Gilas Team, puro mga All-Stars pa ng NBA ang gustong kalaban? Baka ma-realize nila kung gaano sila kahina kapag tinuloy nila ang laban na yan.

 

 

At kung gagastusan naman ni MVP yan, siguradong tataas na naman ang kuryente natin. Pambawi sa gastos.

 

 

[minisushi]

i dont think this is a good idea at all. Whether they can pull it off or not is another story but if our immediate goal is to pass the qualifiers in wuhan, playing an ALL STAR NBA team

is a futile attempt to get our boys ready. The style of play in the world's most expensive play for pay league is so much different than what we are preparing for, which is international style of play (think IRAN, CHINA, even SOUTH KOREA). I still think playing in europe will be better fit para maalis na sa systema ang one on one mentality ng mga players natin (aka mark caguioa). mangyayari lang if this plan pushes through is a freak show, palabas lang, parang pelikula. Now why on earth would we want that right?? MVP is still a businessman first sportsman second.

[Mango Man]

Agree with launchpad and Kareem. Why on earth would these current All-Star NBA players agree to play against Smart Gilas, even if they get paid tons of money?

 

In the very very very extremely unlikely event this pushes through, i'm gonna form a betting pool on how many points the NBA players will crush / demolish / pulverize / annihilate / evaporate Smart Gilas....my personal guess is 80 points at least. haha

[launchpad]

if you read the news its an scapegoat of the reason they didnt join a tourney but in fact they cant play because of lack of man power and injury and pba players leaving

naku!!!! nadisgrasya na!!! smart gilas will be dead meat if this pushes through. honestly? mvp and his wise guys are just day dreaming tsk tsk tsk

[darksoulriver]

kahit na magbayad sila playing a tune up games will not be feasible dhil hindi nman papayagan kaagad ng kanya-kanyang Team Management!

 

why not look for other alternatives like play against US NCAA Elite Team wag lng nilang ggyahin yung ginawa ng isang previous RP NATIONAL TEAM na nkipag-rambulan sa isang college team sa US.

[thegame08]

No contest ang recent tournament na sinalihan ng sg, as expected they dominated the opposition like they were the U.S. Dream Team pero pagdating sa mga Asian powerhouses ibang usapan na iyun.

Edited June 28, 2011 by thegame08

[wizard23]

this is an insult to the NBA stars? sending them for tune up games against the Gilas players? e FIBA nga, hirap na hirap na ang SG team, versus NBA cream of the crop pa and at their prime pa???!!

 

kaya nakakawalang gana ang Philippine Basketball eh. you can lord over sa SEABA pero hanggang SEA games na lang tayo. we can't even rule Asia anymore. stop dreaming please.

 

stick to boxing, billiards and boxing or maybe even football where height is not might. we can only dream so much. we can always love basketball as sports spectators right?

[launchpad]

that news alone already depicts what the SG team is all about. all about excuse, all about having the wrong reasons the wrong instances at the right time.

 

better stop this and not waste anymore of any man or the govt money.

 

we are always dreaming but in achieving that dream everyone wants a walk in the part experience.

 

lets look at the bigger picture, kaya wala nangyayari sa pinas.

[KareemJabbar]

Eh di may balak si MVP na maging part owner ng Sac Kings? May nabasa ako pumunta si MVP sa America para ayusin ang negotiation ah, ano na kaya ang nangyari dun. Dun nila sila makipag tune up sa Sacramento Kings.

 

Pero All-Stars ng NBA? Kevin Durant at Derrick Rose pa ang gusto, ambisyoso.

They won't achieve anything in doing that, mas mabuti pa na maglaro sila sa ibang bansa gaya ng ginawa ng China noon na kahit tinatambakan pero sa bandang huli it paid off dahil naging powerhouse sila sa Asia. Alam na natin ang magiging resulta if ever matupad ang pangarap ni mvp. Also, baka maski sa selection ng NBA D-League players or even sa U.S. college teams mahirapan na sila sa NBA All-Star team pa, come one mvp!!

[KareemJabbar]

Wala na ba update tungkol sa balak ni MVP na bilhin ang Kings?

 

Hindi ako agree sa tune-up ng Gilas vs NBA All-Stars, malaking gastusin yan. Sa tingin nyo ba papayag si Durant at Rose na bayaran lang sila ng barya-barya? Sa isang walang ka-kwenta-kwentang laro laban sa Gilas, eh kung ma-injured pa sila.

 

Lalo lang ma-depressed ang Gilas dahil ma-realize nila kung gaano sila kahina at kung gaano kalaki ang gap ng skills ng american players at pinoy players.

 

Yung gagastusin ni MVP para dun, ilagay na lang sa iba. Malaking pera rin ang magagastos dyan. Tama ang suggestions ng iba dito, sa mga NCAA Top teams na lang sila makipag tune up games, tutal magiging future NBA players din naman ang mga yan hehehe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Mango Man]

Siguro to be more competitive, they should assemble a team of NBA benchwarmers (i.e. those who don't have guaranteed contracts for next season, 12th men on their teams, etc.).

 

Para 60 points lang ang tambak!

 

I think we should just focus on individual sports such as mga martial arts disciplines, billiards, boxing, etc. After all, since our country has little money, we will spend much less if one person wins an Olympic medal, vs. one team winning a medal.

 

mas cost effective diba?
