I got a feeling that we will not get through stage group… we will finish with lone win & 2 losses…. Win against Thailand. Losses to Jordan and Bahrain…

Both Jordan and Bahrain are practicing for more than 3 months now and that’s their big plus…. With Bahrain we should be wary about Zee Hamoda, Mustafa Rashed and of course their NP Wayne Chism… Jordan with RHJ is always a threat but him playing with Al- Dwairi will make it a hell for us…

Wanna bet?

The good thing about the replacements is that 4 of them - CJ Perez, Lassiter, Ross & Arvin Tolentino, are holdovers of the Gilas SEA Games team. Hence, there's already some established chemistry among them & the likes of Brownlee, Oftana & Newsome.

Then there's the Ginebra established chemistry with Brownlee, Iskati, Japeth & Arvin Tolentino ( he is a former Ginebra player) & & the San Miguel Beermen chemistry with Ross, Perez, Lassiter & Junmar.

I think familiarity wise, most of these players are very much familiar with each other.

And they will run TC’s system. Not Chot’s.

One aspect we need to improve upon badly: three point shooting

Thailand is much more dangerous than bahrain imho.

Maybe Thailand has more talent but chemistry wise, Bahrain has the edge… and they beating easily mid level Asian teams that Thailand had trouble beating such as India, Indonesia and Kazakhstan… they almost beat Korea and China in last year’s World Cup qualifiers…
 
Ill take this games one game at a time.. if we wn on bahrain chances that we will be here to contend and the game against Jordan is something, would they select to win it and have an easy qf or lose it to avoid host in semis. Unlike what Robert is implying to u16.. I will take the outright qf rather than avoiding china..If the goal is to win gold you go for the marbles Pinoy fans will appreciate a podium finish..

Bahrain is dangerous because they have pba import level big while Thailand didnt have one..

Bahrain is a good team it isnt a Hammoda Chism show, I think their tiop scorer is a guard

Are the other teams in our group really strong? I mean compared to us anyway. All of these teams are beatable IMO and 2 teams used to be our punching bags
 
at least SBP already has a number of alibis when we finish 7th-8th in the Asiad. they could also shift the blame to HAGOC or Chot regarding the roster mess

To be fair, it's the only thing they are good at.

Remember Panlilio blaming Tab? Yeah, right. It's not like Al and his PBA lackeys were supportive.

Jordan probably won't have star center Ahmad Al Dwairi in the Asiad as he probably is on training camp now with his Turkish pro team. Bahrain's top local player Hamodda would probably not play in the Asiad as its back to school now in US college.

Japan is sending a developmental team so I don't expect such team to be anywhere near the level of its national team-A. Iran isn't as strong as it used to be some years ago. For one, legendary center Hamed Haddadi has already retired from the national team. China is playing without Zhou Qi & naturalized player Kyle Anderson.

I say, if coach Tim Cone can mold this Gilas team into a defensive oriented one, I think we can beat any team in the Asiad.
 
I think this lineup is still good enough to reach the semis or even the final. They already have chemistry, so prep time's not that big of an issue.

JB and Ange provide a big boost to the lineup as well. JB's all-around play, and Ange's defensive presence, man.

now its Chot's turn to get blamed. hahaha

As if the blaming & bashing Chot has received weren't enough:cool:

But I think Al Panlilio deserves the bashing & blaming as well. In fact I want Panlilio to be held accountable for all these mess.
 
Guys, what's the format of the basketball competition in the Asiad?
If Gilas emerge among the top 3 in group C, who will it face in the 2nd round/phase? Is it the top 3 teams of group D or the top 3 teams of A?

​Japan's AG Men's Team. Nobody older than 28 .

and Asia's best teen-ager Yuto Kawashima in the lineup.

Japan are sending youngsters, including Yuto Kawashima, plus a lot of decent B.League players in their prime or approaching their prime (8 of them are 25 and older).

This, Panlilio and Vargas had escaped pubic scrutiny for so long. Chot is just 1 piece of the puzzle.

After the group stage, it's straight to knockouts.

If Gilas finish 2nd, we face the third-placer of Group D, which is either Qatar or Indonesia (let's face it, Japan and SoKor are top 2 in that group) for the quarters spot, then we face the first placer of group A (most likely Iran). If we top the group, we get an automatic quarters spot, and face either the 2nd-placer of Group A (most likely Kazakhstan) or the 3rd placer of Group B (either Mongolia or Hong Kong).

We also got a good No. of defensive oriented players on the team - Ross, Newsome, Perez, Kouame, Lasseter.
