my point is, for the past few games, CCR has used Parks, Pogoy, and Abando the same way. there is no difference. im happy for you if Parks gets picked but role wise, there is no difference if Pogoy and\or Abando is picked above him. ill ask the same question i asked before for those who are debating over Kiefer or Rhez. lets say Parks gets picked but does not play at all for the whole tournament. how will you feel and would it really matter? will his inclusion mean auto win atleast a game? we are discussing players who will are 9-12th on the team. for as long as they do what CCR wants them to do, its really ok whoever CCR wants. basta solid for the first 8-9 players, it should be fine barring injury. its like playoff in the NBA. everyone will have his time under the spotlight during the regular season, but once its in the playoffs, the 9th to x players are all reduced to become magic bunots.
doesnt matter if Parks goes 8-8 in 3ps vs angola\italy\DR or if its Pogoy or Rhenz who does that. what matters is whoever CCR picks, hits the 3s when he gets open.

No issue with Parks or Rhenz. Thing is, Parks has historically been a rotation player, not really with Rhenz. It's not really the same, I think.

Pogoy naman, if he gets picked as a 12th man, a fringe, I'll have an issue, but not that much. If he's a rotation player (1-8/9), it's gonna be an issue given his 25% 3PT in FIBA, and I don't know if his defense is gonna be good or not (his defense is with his hands, fouls a lot, and kinda gets caught out of position too much for my liking).

Bro, where did I say I hate the Ravena bros and TNT? Hahahahaha I must have missed it. I just said that you're down with one shooter in Heading, then you'll (Chot) double down on it by cutting the next best one in Parks? Where the hell is the logic?

You got a lot of hate in Parks, you have a short leash on him even if does good especially in the tune ups. He saved our asses with timely baskets in the end game. Is it still because of his messy breakup with TNT? Come on bro, put aside your fandom with TNT and just think about what's best for Gilas here.

Actually I put him in the final 12 (check my post before)… I want parks because we need stabilizer in the guard/wing spot… but if he’s not committed 100% then why give him special pass? Perez and abando have commitments to their families but they both sacrificed themselves… can gilas fans ask that vlogger girl that stop being stupid and tell parks to focus on his mission? I know this is private matter but this is very important now that everyone should focus on one goal… she can have her bf back after the WC and no one cares after that… that vlogger girl should be not selfish and tell parks that focus on the biggest games of Philippines in this modern era…

That’s why it’s very important that he should be there in last 2 games… unless he is injured or it’s a coaches decision, it is not good that he was not present in last 2 games… we don’t know what’s the real reason but this tune up games are very important to create chemistry with JC atleast in short period of time… Do you know the name of that vlogger girl? Can we flood her messages that he should tell parks that he should focus first on gilas before they do whatever they want?
 
So, the new zealand admiral cruises again because the pinoy nt lost and kai got zero. A vulture's gotta vulture.

The current pinoy nt is the best compared to previous ones, as the long-time serbian observer noticed. Kai is skilled, but his work ethic and positioning skills must improve on his own volition. Aguilar too must play his last games with the nt in a blaze of glory (he needs some bon jovi juicing up mentally). The sfs and combo guards are not big, athletic and talented enough to make the pinoy perimeter game formidable. There, those are just three minor problems. Not the dozen ones plaguing previous teams.

Beyond said improvements, the team just needs "vulcanizing" with 3 really good replacement killers, and it wont play flat the next time. Those better 3 are available.
 
In terms of approach DAdmiral/Analyze is actually very much pinoy, his passport may say Kiwi national but everything about him (behavior, views and manners) are all unmistakably very pinoy.
 
Define your idea of typical pinoy. Because if we go with what's most numerous, it's the type you see on youtube comments and other forums who are mostly ignorant and gullible. I don't think he fits that stereotype.

He's actually one of the few here who is directly involved in basketball and has an insider's perspective. That often leads to biases but it's still better than most.
 
Thirdy, parks, jc out for tonight.

Safe to assume parks and thirty are out.

​​​​​​Hay chot..parks for all his faults is still better than pogoy or kief

From my understanding, he started practicing with the team since July, and I have heard nothing to suggest that he isn't committed. From that, I think that he's just not in the lineup for the tune-up games.
 
Now CJ Perez is DNP, hmmmm.

Newsome and Kiefer In?

Perez and Parks, out?

Kiefer has played in all the 3 tuneup games so far
 
Among the top scorers only Malonzo Newsome have a plus plus minus. It seems the starting lineup of Kai, Jap, Ramos, Pogoy and Scottie was a bit weak defensively. Lets see if this improves.

I read. Leading the team in scoring with 9 points.

It looks like he'll be in. Jeez, I dunno what I feel about that, and I assume that many IBNers share the sentiment.

It seems Chot has decided who to use. CJ is still DNP.

Parks being out is kind of a mystery to me. He's the best shooter on the roster, and not a bad defender at 2. He's our 3rd-best player at SG after JC and Dwight.
