Absolutely embarrassing and pathetic that people in here, fans and Quinito Henson are complaining about the FIBA eligibility rules.

Let’s look at our own players who weren’t born or even grew up in the Philippines shall we?

- Dwight Ramos
- Jamie Malonzo (not to mention it was a well known fact he didn’t have a PH passport before 16, then out of the thin blue air he suddenly has one???)
- Newsome
- Edu
- Perez wasn’t even born here

Stop complaining when we all know Philippines is just as bad as other countries with “eligibility”.

Perez may not have been born here but his Pinoy heritage is undeniable. He has been living here since he was a baby IRC.
 
Aj or aguilar on towns. Kat will go perimeter. He wont likely dare too much kai and aj to reputationally destroy him inside.

Dr has very good players and fluid system. They need kat, but not as heavily as we need heavy duty work from clarkson. Balti and mason would have been better against the dr plays. Konting humility sana ng gilas coaches. Pwede pang ihabol ang 2 ito. Tawagan sana lang sa cellphone. Para gumaang din trabaho nila clarkson at ibang sfs at sgs. Nakita ninyo naman na palaban at may binatbat din itong dr sa canada.

Did you see how Amos got killed in the paint and perimeter attacks from Ateneo losses in WUBS. Chemistry is more needed that those two.

Tabs has coaching limitations too. I do not comment too much about him as he is not the national team coach. He is just a college coach, and his plays can be easily defeated as he has a collegiate team with little fiba style help defense.

The entire ateneo team failed in wubs. To blame amos alone is certainly unfair.

Are you saying that the ravena brothers or say parks are a lot better? Amos definitely knows coachot style plays. Balti is a good and reliable nt player too.

Where in the world did you get the idea that, with 10 players sure to be selected from the current pool, the addition of a mere at most 2 players will destroy CHEMISTRY? Napakawalang kwenta pala at ang labnaw ng chemistry na iyan.

So, is kai and clarkson having "chemistry" problems??? All i know is that all great players can adjust easily to any fiba team style.

Kat was added late. His dr team didnt look like it has "chemistry" problems. What about that pinoy guard who is completely soaked in coachot chemicals? He made 0 of 3 tries di ba? Coachot also said kai cannot adjust because he is not an nba player, di ba?

At least may anak akong chemical engineer, at mataas grades ko sa chemistry, na puro above 90, ng high school. Palagay ko mas marami akong alam sa chemistry.

Skills and winning attitude are most important. It will be a long time perhaps before our nt has a chance to defeat the strong dr and italy nts. Like a jacobs team, the nt should win however it can. And if they really dont like amos, tamayo is heealthy enough, di ba?

how i wish the Phils organized a Spanish Kingdom Tournament with all former Spanish colonies in the world cup participating (similar to the commonwealth games) too expensive though

Amos has the same problem as Go.

Can shoot. Can't rebound.

We blew our chances. This is probably the 1st and last time we will host the WC and we blew it. Pathetic preparations.

Until our road infrastructure improves by leaps and bounds, I don't see us hosting any major World sporting event. The traffic in MM alone is enough to discourage tournament organizers.
 
pathetic is a understatement, 7 yrs and here we are, cramming

7 year headstart but still no difference from all the other tournaments we joined. 10 days of training. LOL

It will be hilarious if they fail to fill Philippine Arena. "Number 1 basketball country"

​I don't even know how we won the hosting given our traffic and worst airport terminals.

They should be treated like APEC participants and use the bus lanes.

If politicians were really serious they could decongest the metro. One good example was Erap's aborted move to ban shipments in the Manila port. This was a modern move. Most capitals are symbolic, economic traffic is moved outside. No shipments mean no trucks. Lesser traffic, lesser maintenance needed for roads. Population would be spread more to the remaining ports such as Batangas. Erap eventually relented after several months of a stalemate. My theory is the Chinese biz people convinced him. Divisoria is a big money maker, its goods are cheap. Probably because they are smuggled.

If Erap just stood his ground we might have more breathing space in Manila and more spread out development. But even a popular former president can't stand up against other powers in a city.

That might be the plan.

FIBA is no different from FIFA. We probably bribed them.

well the govt declared no work and classes for govt offices and public schools, that will reduce traffic somehow this friday. But yeah there should have been a long term effort to improve the country’s logistic in preparation for a event of this magnitude

seems like SBP went in cruise control after securing the hosting rights. Though the pandemic and the lockdowns night have altered some of the plans but still, no contigency?
 
i thought they gave us the hosting gig out of pity, esp that the other bidder (argentina/uruguay) is more messed up than us

Im surprised China did not bid. They want to host everything. LOL

Imagine if Russia won the bid. Hahaha

haha well they just hosted the 2019 version, but they could have just transferred the WC in another city and win the hosting since PH and Argentina bids are lackluster

edit: If russia won the bid FIBA would be in panic mode looking for a new hist with only 1-2 yrs left before the tournament
 
tell me not watching the game without telling me not watching the game, DR is tough and way stronger than gilas for sure but them beating canada without canada playing their stars in the whole second half while DR is still playing KAT and if Jean Montero did not make that 3 off the board Canada's bench might be able to steal the game

They defeat world rank no.4 (and 2019 silver medalist) Argentina (their team A) last February, w/o KAT and Quinones… the is evidence to my probe… and KAT is a game changer for DR… w/ his size and reliable outside shooting, he gives new dimension for DR… KAT is not just an ordinary nba player caliber.. he is an all star, the best shooting big man in the world today… it will be hard for other teams how to stop him…. He can post, he can face up, he can shoot everywhere… that is perfect fit for fiba setting… and fiba 3 pt range is nearer than nba 3 pt line… much easier for him to hit that shots… and who cares if he is soft? No Giannis, Jokic, AD there to play in this event… he will be the best big man will play in this competition… another one is lester quinones.. he is nba g-league’s current most improve player.. those talents combined w/ the roster who beat Argentina last February… that’s tough… one of my reason i always felt DR is better than Italy…
 
Arizona Wildcats lead the Lebanese national team 42-28. What happened to the Lebanon national team?
