Lets just hope sbp and gilas really stick with ctc. My fear is one bad tourney performance and people will come for his head. They should understand that a succesful internstional program isnt built overnight.

Yeah… our next mission is to be in podium position in FIBA Asia cup next year… Why? We need to rack up our rankings to be in best position of draw come 2027… A tough European such as France, Spain or even Germany and tough Latinos are tough to deal with…

The presence of Chot is not a good sign hahaha!
 
It is what it is. I knew that we will lose if Kai can't play against Brazil. Coaching staff made the right decision to sit Kai out this game. Anyway, I'm excited to see what our ranking will be after beating Latvia. We've finally proven that we can hang with the best of them and it looks like the triangle is the best system for us Filipinos.
 
26 yrs old brownlee would still not make it to the NBA given the competition (PJ Tuckers, Morris Twins of the world)

Yeah… Now with everyone knows Brownlee, How will Brownlee will react with that kind of defense… I think from now on, We should worry more on Latinos that Europeans.. Kumbaga our playstyle is kontrapelo against them… we badly need talent in this world stage… Wag sana i walang bahala ni Tim Cone si Clarkson… I’m sure Clarkson will be coachable under CTC and for sure a better and more impactful version of him…
 
Perez should've been inserted early in the 3rd quarter in lieu of Newsome when Gilas can't buy a basket, it will release the pressure on JB by having another shot creator, idk based on Kai's interview it seems he cannot tolerate the pain and maybe they don't want to risk a much more serious injury, anyways still a good tournament for us though the Brazil game was winnable, it was still close it's just we cannot buy a basket

CTC could have made that risk of inserting CJ Perez in after the 1st TO, when it was more manageable. when CJ was finally inserted, he was late contesting a Yago 3 in transition, which ballooned the lead to around 10.

no one's really second guessing CTC now especially after that Latvia win, but hopefully next time, he has enough players he can trust, not this scenario where he doesnt want to use players like KQ in this game.
 
Imo the smartest move they make was inserting felicio in the first half. They took advantage especially when jmf took a breather without those offensive boards and second chance point, we might have had a bigger lead coming to halftime

The impact of the GOAT, Cristiano Felicio!

He wasn't that good for the Bulls. He was given a 4-year, $32M contract after a promising season, and he didn't perform well after that. Gave us a lot of meme material.
 
Can't wait for next window specially asia cup next year.

Number 1 lesson CTC should learn this OQT is to have a pool... injury happens if they invited abando, brp, heading etc ealy visa issue won't be a problem.
 
That was a good result already against a talented, athletic brazilian team. It is good enough for asian contests, but not the world stage. . The cone nt was not an eyesore, unlike the seyer-coached teams. Seyer, like the empty shell he is, is too noisy and imbecilic.

The defensive focus was lost when the brazilians poured the offensive pressure on. The brazilians knew that the philippine bench has no particularly good shooters and defenders, so aggresively attacking and deflating the first five worked.

Now, the results should convince the pba sponsors not to politicize the player selection. The international game is too different from the pba style. They should accept that the quality of "bestness" depends on how many top twenty nts you intend to waylay.

You want to bring down the top ten teams, surprise tactics wont get you very far, particularly when the lineup is too imbalanced.

Anyway, most of the posters here already know which players to bring next time for a big-time fiba battle. A complete set of powerful centers and power forwards is a must, as well as steady, not sporadic, snipers. If you want to compete well with the top ten, you will need clarkson and green at 2 and 3 at the same time.

Even without the nba players, fortunately for our team, just adding edu, kouame, qmb, abando and heading will be good for a top 15-20 result. Just stick to first principles of a good team: the next five should be as good as the first five. The usa team despite being typically a hodge-podge screwed up selection works simply because it is 12-deep in abilities.

A prime boatwright will not perform much better than a prime brownlee. This expectation about boatwright will disappoint many people later

Congrats to the brazilians too.

Maybe we will be higher ranked than China, because their stint in 2016 Olympics for rankings will be cut within 8 year ranking cycle… they might go down further maybe below 40… While Iran still have their rankings stable because of their 2021 Olympic stint… Maybe we will be within 32-35 rank rage…

With that homecourt advantage (our game vs NZL in November is in MOA) and momentum this OQT, beating NZL is a must…
 
If only CTC coached our team in World cup 100% sure tayo nasa olympics...

We need to wait another 4 years hays.

Our offense didn't work in this game. And we play in a more slow tempo meaning few opportunities to score. With TC not using his bench alot we will rely more with our starters. That's why Brownlee gets tired.
 
And CJ proves why he is one of PBA best player right now a team always need a player like him. just bench him if he plays bad lol.

Since he showed up at Riga (dunno if he is already there since the Latvia game because I haven't seen him unlike in the Georgia game where in he was seen amongst the crowd) we've encountered setbacks. Ewan ko ba, iba talaga yun vibe na dala ni Chot. Lol. If I know kunwari lang na full support yun. Deep inside he was still hoping that he can reclaim his share of the spotlight. Just lurking around waiting to pounce and worm his way into the Gilas program again. Just like what he did with Tab. The nerve. Kapal talaga ng mukha!

I agree same sentiments pinaka makapal na mukha he loves limelights.
 
Snow posted that Chot wants to apply for SBP President, idk how true, anyways this tournament is a good foundation going forward, I hope no more bs politics that will hinder again the progress of the national team
 
Could we have won this game? Probably yes. Are we playing over our talent level? Also a yes. Sucks but we just have to keep grinding.

Now we already figure out how to beat Europeans (sans Spain, France or even Germany), we have to learn how to beat those Latinos… In 2027, the groupings will be like this, 1 or 2 Europeans, 1 Latinos and/or 1 Africans (if we have higher rankings)… the only way to beat Latinos is to have to learn their style of game continuously and for sure better talents… I’m ok with chemistry but adding atleast 3 players in the pool is a must… we should only stick to just only 8-9 core to this current line up while last 3 should be battle it out who’s deserving… I see 3-4 players here are not deserving to be in 2027 roster… for sure my picks in 2027 are Kai, Edu, Newsome, Ramos and Fajardo (as back up)but not sure about the others…
