There's nothing to prove really or a need to seek vengeance, we lost by a mere 8 points (85-93) to the Indons with their imports in full force.

“We’re not aware one of the Philippine imports won’t be allowed to play. Even then, I was surprised how they challenged us playing the game mostly with a local lineup. I salute the Philippine team,” said SM Britama-Indonesia coach Fictor Roring, a former ward of Filipino coach Nat Canson.

It is interesting to note that our Indonesian friends are gaining ground in southeast asian basketball, beating a very good Philippine ballclub is an achivement in itself. We still command respect and admiration from our neighbors.

Kudos to SM Britama, a well deserved win.:) ;)

I'd say we go all Filipino against Zamar's Malaysian team.

Is Harbour's loss to an Indon team a sign of the weakening of the quality of basketball in RP?

I wouldn't say that. It was just an awful preparation and over confidence. It is a club championship in Souteast Asian region. That is not our best team. Sta. Lucia is the All-Filipino champs, this is our best club team.

We are still the powerhouse in southeast asia are we not ? a single loss wouldn't mean that the quality of basketball in the Philippines is going on a downtrend. The Indonesians are just simply getting better each year, thanks to our coaches and local players recruited as imports in the IBL whom they now employ.

Harbour Centre, is one of the best amateur ballclub, the hottest in fact in the PBL, being beaten by the Indonesians is a great achievement for our neighbor regardless of imports.

It is also interesting to note, that when they recruited Sam Ekwe, their offensive and defensive pattern was centered (focused) on this Nigerian behemoth. His inability to play did them in. Harbour Centre was not prepared for that.

I'd say again, against Zamar's Malaysian team, we go all Filipino. They are a much better cohesive unit playing without imports. That I want to see.

They can vindicate "the Harbour team". Let us hope we have the right preparation.

We have added two filipino-american players, Pascual and Torres, i hope the SBP would provide this time with the proper documentaion and certification in regards to Pascual and Torres. As what happened to Sam Ekwe.
 
hey guys who is on the current line up of the team? how many ballers on the national pool?

IMO, I couldn't really say that Indons truly have beaten us in an equal battle... true that Coach Boyzie might have been a factor to this but, I mean their 2 imports did most of the damage, in fact, scored more than half of the whole team's total points... Could they had manhandled Harbour Center if they both played importless? I don't think so really... :)

well, at least we're still in the FIBA Asia Club Championships. That is what matters right now...

UAAP/NCAA stars vs indon national team?

Against a selection of UAAP/NCAA stars ?, the Indonesian National Team (the very best in Indonesian basketball) will prevail hands down.

But against a selection of South Korean or mainland Chinese college basketball stars ? they'll blow us out. These young guys can even compete with the best teams in the Philippine Basketball League (PBL).

To borrow a quote from one of our Lebanese friends, indeed a historical day for Indonesian basketball to beat the best performing and the hottest amateur basketball team, Harbour Centre with one lousy import in Michael LeBlanc.

I think we can more or less gauge the strengths of the SEA teams, simply be looking at their performance in the last SEA Games against our NT.

That's the last SEA Games where Cambodia fielded a platoon of 5'8" players against our team, including Soup Toun.

True and point well taken, our southeast asian counterparts still acknowledge our superiority in basketball only, but we can't say the same things against asia's very best.
