Oftana gained a lot of muscle recently. He was utilized by Chot as a spot up shooter on the corner. I hope Tim Cone gives Oftana more freedom kinda like what Yeng Guiao did when Oftana was at NLEX.



This could be Oftana's breakout performance in international basketball. With the way he played yesterday versus the LG Sakers, I can see the confidence that he has in his game now.

I hope Coach Yeng can get him again. The 1st 5 of Mamu, Gabe, Oftana, Villegas, and Datu would be a championship team.
 
So who are in the final roster?

based on tune-up game with Changwon Sakers, the Gilas depth chart this coming Asiad looks like this :

F - Oftana
F - Brownlee
C - Fajardo
SG - Newsome
PG - Thompson


F - Tolentino
PF - Aguilar
C - Kouame
G - Perez
PG - Ross

G- Alas
FG - Lassitter
 
So guys the tournament format for this Asian Games basketball competition wud be similar to that of the ongoing FIBA Asia U-16 tournament.

So for instance if Gilas emerges as the No. 1 team in Group C, it will automatically be going to the quarterfinals & wud be facing the winner of the No. 2 team of group A (most likely Sauudi Arabia) vs. No. 3 team of group B (most likely Mongolia) game. Hence, this would be an easier route for Gilas.

If Gilas settles as the No. 2 team in Group C, we will face the No. 3 team of Group D (either Indonesia or Qatar) in the qualification for the quarterfinals game. If we win that game, we will be facing the No. 1 team of Group A which most likely would be Iran, in the quarterfinals. Now, I would always prefer facing Iran in the quarters than facing host China or Korea. I just feel that Gilas has the edge over the current Iran team which no longer has Hamed Haddadi & Samad Bahrami in its fold.

I’m just glad Australia and NZ aren’t around.
 
Gilas pilipinas can reach the semifinal round of the men's basketball tournament.

25 years ago was the last time team philippines won a medal in the Asian games of the men's 5x5 tournament.

Agreed. Considering the depleted talent level of the other competing countries and us basically having two naturalized level players, the full support of the PBA and Gilas being coached by the supposed GOAT PBA coach, anything less than a semifinal finish will be a disappointment. The PBA's reputation is currently at stake.

imo its just a margin of error for us.. if we finish on top good but if not, it still atough game given the team has faced some competition against Iran B

Al Panlilio's incompetence is just too much & unbearable. He is looking like even worse than an On-the-Job Training (OJT) out there. Pure nalang kapalpakan.

Unfortunately, this is something that averaged Pinoy basketball fans usually would not know. All the averaged Pinoy fans know is to bash or blame Chot Reyes, but the truth is, Al Panlilio & some SBP officials are even worse than Chot.

Can't believe I defended him putting his( unqualified) son in the youth team instead of other players. Maybe that's the first red flag that went unnoticed
 
It's good that POC President Bambol Tolentino is exposing SBP's incompetence so that the public would be more aware.

If the Phi Senate has a Robin Padilla, Phi basketball has an Al Panlilio. Its just unfortunate that Panlilio's gross incompetence isn't that exposed to the public.

If ever Gilas brings home a medal from this Asiad, Al Panlilio has nothing to do with it. He should not be part of whatever success Gilas may achieve becoz he has done nothing for the betterment of Philippine basketball. In fact all he has done were detrimental to Phi basketball.

Al Panlilio can go fuck himself.
 
The oligarch really knows what is happening on the ground so if ever some statements blurted out from any media platforms that he is not fully aware of many things within his backyard is 100% lie. Besides he already releases several statements before just to cover up the incompetencies of his minions but still no drastic actions are taken.

Who's fooling who?

The Philippines is bracketed with Jordan in Pool A along with Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, and Mongolia.

A top finish in its group will have the Filipinos advancing outright to the knockout quarterfinals, while a second place finish relegates them to a qualification for a final shot of advancing to the playoffs.

The team plays its first game on Monday against Jordan at the Deqing Geographic Information Park Basketball Court.

I don’t know who these players are. Any good? What are their heights?
 
oh, this should favor some middle east teams and japan as well if they let all their NPs play

If passport only will implement… other Asian teams can use two naturalized players or more… I don’t like that rule honestly… I think we are only ones who bring two naturalized player here… Jordan can use both Tucker and RHJ for this event but they didn’t because it will deteriorate their basketball development… How about Indonesia? Did they use all of their naturalized players? They have a chance to beat Japan and even Korea, If all of their naturalized players will play (prosper, bolden and beane)… with just only OCA rules, even lower seeded teams will have a chance because of passport rule only… Just hire Americans to represent their nation and they will be competitive already… this is not good… they blaming Indonesia and Cambodia last seagames because they using 2-6 imports to play for them and here we are, we are doing the same thing… that’s why I hate those people mocking fans from Indonesia and Cambodia, whereas we are doing the same thing right now….

If OCA rules, Indonesia might have a shot to get that top seed in their group… because of passport rule only, Prosper, Beane and Bolden can play together in one team… that’s tough… Or even Qatar, they can hire 12 mercenaries and give them passport then that’s it… OCA rules sucks… we have monitor those teams… because of that rule, they can put multiple naturalized players in their roster…

John Rey Pasaol 20 yrs. old 5'11 FEU
Jaylen Isagani Stevens 19 yrs. Old 6'7 UP
Drex John Leir Delos Reyes 19 yrs. 6'8 NU
Justine Sanchez 21 yrs. old 6'5 CSB

John Rey Pasaol and Justine Sanchez would be the scorers/creators of this team
