Austin has arrived when you hear "Ostin! Yor him!" and "Teylorrr Swip" from everybody.
 
I think FIBA is concerned about the transition time between the semi-final games and the final game with less than a day separating the games.

well a more than 20k fans in moa arena for the finals is not bad , the japan group will be a bloodbath as one from Slovenia, Germany and Australia will not make it
 
I really believe we have the players to compete in FIBA, we have alot of young 6'5" and above guys that can play for Gilas provided SBP does the right thing and process some of these players' FIBA eligibilty (Baltazar, Tamayo, Sotto, Edu, Lopez, Tuffin, Quiambao, Lucero, Mike Phillips, Balunggay, Koon, Briones, Alter etc.) but we need to have a proper system and a competent coach for it to work. Just look at Italy I think we are more athletic as a team as compared to them but their system makes them a powerhouse. We already saw it with Tab Baldwin with his bubble team that reached the Olympic qualifiers, an effective system is what it takes to win.

Quiambao cannot shoot to save his life. He's also turnover prone and has shaky handles at best. He's a 6'4 dude who likes to play the PF position. Forget it.

More like 6’5 as he is a bit taller than Ramos.

But yeah, KQ is too undersized and has no handles.

fucking hate how 6’2+ ballers here can’t dribble to save their lives.
 
Coachot and his progeny must never darken the doorway of pinoy nt dugouts again. Their incompetence and self-promotion are always sights to behold.

The sbp really must rely on foreign coaches teamed up with say uaap coaches. The college coaches at least know how to play the fiba way.
​​​​​​
And yes, the people's favorite pba team cant play the fiba games, and actually relies on imports to make local players look better than they really are.

You know it is really bad when forumers here know which players should be together in a serious nt, but the coaches and the sbp dont.

Disappointed with Scottie Thompson the most. He is not world-level. Never was.
 
Is there still a chance for the FIBA to clear Kouame as a local just like what they did to Abassi of Taiwan?

I'm done with Sotto and I don't want the Gilas program to always rely and be held hostage by this kid. He's not worth it. What a disappointment.

Everyone but Kai played hard so far. Man, oh man. Hope Ange gets exempted, and we can develop another big.

You saw the slight nudge by Fontecchio on Sotto that resulted on another free throw? Pota walang kagulang gulang. Where was the Sotto na kahit papano nakikipaglaban during the 2021 oqt vs Ratliffe and Boban?

It seemed that this kid lost interest in basketball nung naging undrafted sa NBA, and is now going thru the motions just collecting the paychecks being handed to him.

Enough of him.

We're good with
Kouame
Edu
Tamayo
Baltazar
Amos

No to Kai Sotto.

should've just give to spot to either Parks or newsome as him coming late because of the injury and not enough preparation time in a system that is totally different from the system of his pba team is a recipe for doom

That was off an Italy missed free throw. Jeez. Offensive rebounds off missed FTs are unacceptable.

Is that his real height?From 6'7 his height shrunk by 3 inches,I mean players usually pad their height by an inch or two,but three inches lol.

I wonder if deep down,Kai Sotto knew he peaked already and decided to milk this basketball career as much as possible,just be a journeyman,he'll play another Summer League and might even make it to Gleague but beyond that its a crap shoot.
 
i wonder if people laid off the bashing of chot and the coaches during the preparations for the world cup and while the tournament was ongoing if the results would've been different?

seriously those were all close losses and attributed by the "expert fans" to chot's bad coaching. i'm just thinking if the "fans" weren't so negative and just showed positive support to chot and the coaches maybe they would've been more inspired and motivated? i'm sure all the negativity has an impact on the coaches and that also trickles down to players, clarkson already spoke that those boos were uncalled for.

seems like pinoys really are the worse and most classless fans in the world.

he's a 3 year pro who has never improved his stamina, posture, motor and strength. you would also expect him to significantly up his numbers in the bleague - considering he has nbl experience - yet he didn't.

My take on this,I see him playing journeyman basketball another 5-7 years then walk off to the sunset,I wonder if being made the breadwinner of the family since 16 years old made basketball more a job and took the fun and passion out of it.

he sure looked he was having fun with fifi

maybe? but then again he always had his parents by his side wherever he went so its not like say an ofw sending money weekly if not daily to family here in the phils.
