If sbp wilking to shell money they need to entice either bahamas or puerto rico to tune up with the team
At this point even Cape Verde will do.

Too late to invite Bahamas, since the start of their OQT will be august 14… i dunno what happened to Puerto Rico talks? Maybe PR declined…

They will go to US after that Italy pocket tourney to meet w/ Cape Verde community in Boston and continue their training there… Cape Verde federation needs money for training and their community in Boston have fund raising for their cost…

Yes… check your post there… possible opponents are South Sudan and Puerto Rico… you’re too high on China aahhh… hhhmmm!!! As if those two teams are not familiar in each other.. those two rosters already playing together for years…in fact, they used their rosters since the 1st window of qualifiers back in 2021… so familiarity is already there… what was china did so far? They lose badly to non World Cup entry Croatia twice, lose to Slovenia team B squad and lose badly too to Italy… they only beat is Cape Verde, who might be the weakest team in entire 32 team field event…
Check your facts first before you comment… you too high on China eh they were doing nothing yet so far!! In terms of preparation among Asian teams, it’s jordan who do great so far, beating Mexico, and almost beat Czech Republic… as if your reading comprehension is great too… peace yoh!!!!

What’s your problem? I just tell that china doesn’t have a chance… are you want china to win? Historically, china struggles to match athletic teams such as high level African teams (Nigeria) and Latin American teams… actually, they are better playing against European teams since they are not that athletic, hence, they can catch up… I will not surprise if they will lose to Serbia by single digits… but they have always struggling to match up w/ athletic teams.. in last 2018 Asian games, the only team that they struggled is against gilas because Chinese are struggling to catch up w/ athletic players… they lose lose twice to Venezuela and lose to Canada in OQT 2 years ago… I just telling a fact… why you angry? I will not surprise if gilas beat china in their classification matches because most of gilas core are athletic…

They should do that a month before.. but sbp didn’t think that… maybe cost issues… actually they have a plan before to go to US for training camp.. but they decided to choose Europe because they want to learn how to play European style of basketball, only facing team B squad and inter selection of Lithuania clubs… that’s disappointing part that they should rather go to US… atleast coach Tim cone have some connections w/ US basketball community and might have better tune up games there (some NCAA div 1 school teams) unlike in Europe…

Bro, chill out. Ja.he said either in the second or classification round, pertaining to Gilas facing off with PR and SSD NTs. That statement doesn't automatically mean that he's high on China making the 2nd round. It's a bit of a long shot, sure, but there's always the possibility of upsets.

I'm angry daw. That dude is assuming. I just want to help him to comprehend. Hahaha
Anyway, you are correct, that was what I said. My statement was as clear as blue sky. I don't know what are not understandable there.
Would you like to play Puerto Rico and South Sudan, who will be your potential opponents after the preliminary round? I already eked out China out of familiarity. Avoiding facing them in an exhibition game makes sense.

Really disappointed that Bolick took Gilas for granted. He's very impressive last 2019 World Cup, and that momentum carried on his PBA career.
I believe he was invited multiple times during the windows but did not show up due to honeymoon with his wife? Those were the rumors. Or maybe he just didn't like that he was underutilized by Chot during the Feb 2022 window when Montalbo got more playing time than him?
Bolick's pg instincts are miles ahead of CJ. Plus his slashing and driving abilities I think are on par. As for his shooting, he's better at that aspect compared to Perez, Kiefer and Scottie.
Scottie and Bolick would have been the best combination for our PG since they both bring something different to the table. Unfortunately I think the pride and the Napoleon syndrome of Chot got in the way, cause why would you not take a final look of Bolick in this camp at the very least?
With Bolick around, we can afford not having Iskati Thompson in the World Cup.

I'd like to see Gilas (the "A" team) go against these 2 and the likes, before the WC proper just to see where a complete PHL NT's level is at as of the moment. The 2 Senegal games were a treat and revealed strengths (and weaknesses) we thought Gilas didn't have. They still need more sparring sessions against NTs similar to our 1st round opponents to further become more familiar with and adjust much better to the style and athletic prowess that could be used against us by DR and Angola.

Me too, I enjoyed watching their games against Senegal because I know that was their main team.
I checked who are the teams that will come here in Manila in the coming weeks. For me, New Zealand, Jordan and Egypt are viable prospects to have some tune-ups against Gilas.

Although Puerto Rico was blown out by USA Today, they did a great job atleast hanging on in the 1st half.. they are no match for USA by the way…

The next tune up game still on august 20… 12 days that gilas will be on practice mode… sbp should find a way to find a tune up opponent in that between dates before Montenegro and Mexico game… 2 games still not enough… try to invite low ranked but tough European squads such as Portugal, Albania or even Kosovo… those teams are tough too…. They are still quality teams that unlucky that they are in European zone that is tough zone in all continental zones in fiba…

Can SBP ask tab Baldwin for possible tune up game vs New Zealand? I guess if Baldwin ask NZL to play a tune up game vs gilas then maybe they will accept it… NZL respects Tab Baldwin a lot and they trust Baldwin than chot…

Bolick had that honeymoon once. The other times he wasn't even invited because he hasn't signed with NP. IMO it's just the PBA flexing their muscles and using GILAS as leverage
