that's it bro! :)

you got what I meant, and if RP fails this time, we can really say that they did their best w/o any alibis, because they are already the best playing there.

we have a fair chance of beating the 2nd to 5th placers in the past fiba-asia championships... bro, that's not mere hallucination...

I get your point, I do believe that the RP's best is competetive enough to beat any team in Asia, and even China. but I don't agree with the thought of being no. 2 in Asia by words alone. Its a simple thing we shouldn't argue about.

pinaghirapan ng ibang teams ng ilang taon yun mga panalo nila sa FIBA Asia, tapos yun Pilipinas na hindi naman nakakapagperform ng maayos e biglang magkleclaim ng no. 2 sila sa Asia dahil yun mga no. 2 sa FIBA Asia e kaya nilang talunin. the 2002 Asian Games is a thing of the past, it doesn't spell the stories of the 2001 to 2005 FIBA Asia. c'mon, I'm just being realistic.

translation:
it's unfair to look at it that way. they won and let's accept it, they earned it, being the second best in Asia, noting Korea and Lebanon. and when the Philippines gets its place in the FIBA Asia, then they'll have to respect it too, no what ifs and buts and other speculations too.
 
Guys, question lang. How many countries will represent each continent in 2008 Olympics?

bro, no offense but kindly follow the posts between psychopath and me, your reply is out of context, you don't get the whole picture.

btw, if you were pertaining to me about your post, here is my reply.


there's no other basis for the truth but performance, and FIBA Rankings doesn't spell the magnificent performance that the current RP NT can deliver right now, so my answer is, there's no way in hell that FIBA Rankings can tell who will win games and who will not since that ranking is prior to changes depending to varied performances. the claims of the Filipinos of RP NT for being 2nd if not the best in Asia will simply be valid if and only if they win the FIBA Asia and not by those what ifs, assumptions and speculations alone. any team in Asia can have those what ifs, assumptions and speculations making it no other than a wishful thinking for all those who claim.



and to prove what? assumptions? speculations?

*feel free to disagree, I'll just have to stand on what I feel is more realistic

If a country continues to send its "C" or "D" Teams in major events and loses games, it will fall in the FIBA rankings...the rankings are based not on the quality of the country's national basketball team, but how the team performs in FIBA-sanctioned tournaments. The Philippines has been considered a powerhouse in Asian basketball from way back but since it began sending mediocre teams (of Graham Lim) in major FIBA tournaments where it is constantly LAUGHED AT AND HUMILIATED by other Asian NTs, our FIBA ranking suffered....India(#46), Malaysia(#52), Hongkong(#50), and Kuwait(#44) even ranked ahead of RP.

oh I see so that's why our achievements of the past tarnished, diminished our FIBA ranking. No thanks to Graham Lim ( I hope Supreme Court or International Court sentence him to death )

4 from Europe
3 from America
2 from Africa
2 from Asia
1 from Ocenia (Australia vs. New Zealand)
4 Wild Cards? - I think there are 4 wild cards to be contested by runner-ups in the subzone qualifiers (I'm not that sure about this wildcard thing, I think I read it somewhere)

already qualified are host - China and WBC 2006 Champion Spain

Among the national pool players who may be tapped to reinforce China in Tokushima are 7-foot center Tang Zhengdong, 6-5 guard Gong Songlin, Zhu Fangyu (200-F-83) and 7-1 center Zhang Song Tao. The four players are not in the “A” roster.

This guy is showing off....Tang is in the A team he was with China in last year,s asian games and Zhu Fangyu is not just in the A team but also a starter in asian champion 2005 , WBC 2006 and also asian games 2006....he wants to impress asia in that China is so deep but their not really that deep especially compared to the size of their country..........

man the guy who's talking is philipino not chinese. and if those 4 players adds to china B with Li Ke and wang bo they will win the group A ,then I think it's open for the rest of the 3 ,the match form will determine who will win btw rp/ iran/jordan,no stats or history....
 
oh i thought he was a chinese showing off by saying he got 2 players from team B , i guess this pinoy doesnt really know what hes saying cuz zhu fangyu is the best chinese player after the NBA players(the 3 centers YAO,WANG AND YI)....i guess the chinese have the upper hand if they got this player especially that they have a huge height advantage even though they are pretty thin so they could be boxed out by taulava and pennisi we,ll just have to wait and see , asian championship is really exciting this year , yalla just 10 more days.......

3 from Asia..

1. China - the olympic host
2. ???? - Highest placed team in the FIBA Asia Championship excluding China
3. ????? - 2nd and 3rd highest placed team in the FIBA Asia Championship excluding China will go in the 2008 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament for Men. This tournament will be played from 7th ? 13th July 2008 in a country and city still to be decided. FIBA will make this decision in December 2007.
so even if you fail to qualify this july, you still have a chance as a wildcard entry.

about the wildcard tournament...since 2 teams will represent asia, then hypothetically, 4 asian teams can make it to beijing if the 2 teams make it to the top 4. Then again, this will be a very tough tournament as top teams from other federations will also participate.
 
I don't mean to look way ahead into the future, but this is my possible teams in Beijing:
China as host
Spain as world champion
1 from Asia (Philippines:D )
1 from Europe (Lithuania)
2 from Americas (US, Argentina)
1 from Oceania (Australia)
1 from Africa (Angola)
4 from Wildcard tournament (????)
12 teams in total will compete in beijing

Wildcard Tournament Possible teams
3 teams from Americas (could be Brazil, Puerto Rico, Venezuela?)
1 from Oceania (NZ)
2 from Asia (Lebanon, Qatar? )
2 from Africa (Algeria, Nigeria?)
4 from Europe (could be Greece, Italy, France, Serbia?)
The top 4 will qualify for Beijing (Greece, France, Brazil, NZ)

this is just my opinion....feel free to choose yours:)
