Thirdy and Ray Parks are still out of Gilas game vs Montenegro today... I expect Thirdy will be cut, But Ray? What happened? Is he still focus on his romantic relationship w/ famous vlogger girl over national team duties?

parks probably lost all his energy and stamina with zeinab, god im envious hahaha

Cut him already... No need players who have no desire to play and more focus on off court shenigans... It will be distraction to the team
 
End of 1st qtr... PHL 19 - Montenegro 16... Good 1st qtr so far... Remember, this Montenegro team almost beat Doncic led Slovenia in their tune up game weeks ago... Is this a good sign?

too early to say. lets wait till the game is finished.
 
Philippines leading vs Montenegro (17 - 11)... Are you guys surprise?

It's not worth over analyzing these tune up games. The whole purpose of it is to build chemistry, that's why a lot of teams don't play much defense. But once the actual competition starts and the stake sets in, that's when you start seeing teams in a must win mode.

We don’t have a worthy replacement.

No, Abando or Oftana are not options. Neither of them have anything on Parks.
 
I think montenegro is just shaking off their jetlag and also using this scrimmage as a stretching/warm up exercise

no point for them to go all in and risk any injury.

But, still good for Gilas chemistry to play against them

No commitment for this crucial stages for national team... Unless he was reported injured (No news yet)... I see him cut... Oftana is good investment for future Gilas team... And back up wing for Malonzo...

Nah... tune up games are already indication where is the strength of every national team... If you are bad enough, They will not be able to hang on vs tough teams.... Iran was getting blow out by Montenegro couple of days ago (66-81)...

There are players that we CANNOT afford to drop unless they beg off or are truly injured. Kai, AJ, Parks, Dwight. Guys like them.

I like Oftana, but he should take someone else's spot, not Parks nor Dwight.

Yeah, nah, bro. It's not an indication of anything. Wait til they play their games against DR and Italy. That's the actual indication if they can actually perform good against tough opponents.

Just to refresh everyone's memory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJM5-b8icBU

This is the crucial days for Gilas and he was not there? If he's not injured and still not in the team then why we will still pick him for Final 12? Those 3 tune up games are crucial for the team, since this is the only time that they can play w/ JC before the event... That is not good bro... He's not Kai or JC that can impact Gilas right away....

Still Montenegro is Montenegro... A high level European team almost beat Slovenia couple of days ago..... If you are not good enough then they will get blowout by Montenegro easily.... Tune up games or actual games... They still playing basketball and don't want to embarrass their country in any playing field...

But that's not how it works. Just because "x" team defeats this "y" team doesn't mean we'll able to replicate it. That's called false equivalence. There's few day left until we can properly make judgement of our team's performance. This sht is just giving you false hope out of nothing.
