Newsome really is our best perimeter defender. The Taipei Ace was shooting 3s against Oftana. Then Newsome subbed and he never shot a 3 again well until he was matched again with Oftana.

Ideally he can breakdown defenses. But his decision making still needs to improve.
he can still breakdown defenses but just couldn't finish, even against lower-tier opponents like in the sea games. i dunno what he's been doing in smb/pba, he was way better in the 2019 world cup
Abando or Gutang for Perez
Navarro or Lopez for Malonzo
SJ or Berto for Skati
Newsome in for Oftana. Our best perimeter defender.
Keep Scottie as he's TC's guy. He might actually need him to run his system. Same with Malonzo and Brownlee. Pencil them in as long as he's the HC.
Berto for Perez. At least he's a PG. Perez was a small ball 4 and it shows.
Just recall your statement after 4 years... That is why CTC going into 4 year program, So that they will know each other and not being dependent on just other guys... Pinapangunahan mo agad eh, Nanggaling kanaba sa Future? You can bash CTC if he fails just like Chot in 2027... But for now, You have no right to tell about the current program of CTC because it just only Day 2 of being together..

Snow just posted then deleted a video of Malonzo getting beaten up badly in a fist fight. He looks hammered
Fighting who? A HK local or Pinoy?
Balikan ko lang 'to, I'm not done with you.
FFS, just so you know... we're back on a regular calendar when events like the Olympics (after the OQT, SBP won't care about it unless Gilas pulls off a miracle, but it's this late July), SEA Games (Dec 2025), and Asian Games (Sept 2026) won't be postponed a year and are back to coincide with the the FIBA calendar (from Feb this year to the end of the FIBA World Cup in mid-Sept 2027 since the WC starts Aug 2027) with every other league where a Gilas core member plays. Fortunately, the hope is that Gilas still gets all the FIBA ineligibles to mix a few more rounds of one-week trainings for the SEA Games and Asian Games (kilala mo ba mga tinutukoy ko?) Obviously I know it's Day 2 and we're technically in the first month, but do you even know what the hell does the word CORE mean? O pati yan, tatagalugin ko pa sa'yo?

This is a very good team now because that's THE CORE in FEB '24 that comprises of AN ENTIRE TEAM for the OQT. This first window alone... no Edu, no JMF, no Malonzo for 1 game... and they only brought in Japeth. Based on the two games, they're a JB and Kai injury-away from looking like mediocre team. They don't have another world class shot creator not named Jordan Clarkson and until Edu or JMF are 100% (they never are), they don't have another big who can protect the rim and score inside. That's just in 2024 and maybe until the actual FIBA Asia Cup in August 2025. How about World Cup Qualifying that will definitely take place in between all those rows? Hindi mo pa rin ba gets? The way the core is setup, they will not wait for new players to be plugged-in unless they play for Ginebra or get invited by Tim Cone. This is and will be our national team in 3 and a half years whether we like it or not.
Hindi ko pinapangunahan ang team, but you have to be as stupid as a 47-year old Jaworksi subbing himself in to guard John Best then get dunked the fuck on to be unable to see where this team is headed when the SBP insisted that the CORE OF THE TEAM IS AN ENTIRE TEAM. They're already giving every coach in Asia and even the world at least 3 years worth of data to scout the Philippines as well. I'm already expecting another PBA Special Gilas Draft complete with Special Conference that will surely favor the usual PBA teams once the B.League players decide to come back home when the SBP finds itself unable to keep the core together.
Malonzo got a beatdown. Ouch.
Venue is KFC. There's a girl in the video.
The video is grainy and I'm at work so I couldn't turn up the volume. He looks like he's inside a fast food joint. But the guy was cussing in English
quick search got me this
