They were in a bad group… FIBA didn’t balance the group POTS… POT 1,3,5,7 are more competitive than POT 2,4,6,8… Australia, Spain didn’t deserve that tough group… while Serbia, Slovenia and Lithuania have an easy group in prelims… we could have avoid Italy if FIBA sticks the old POT that use in 2019… it should be POT 1,4,5,8 as the first group while 2,3,6,7 in the other one… Philippines might group with better POT 4 squads such as Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Montenegro and Canada than Italy, Germany, Brazil and Greece… imagine Philippines will be group alongside Venezuela (POT 4), Finland (POT 5) and Cape Verde (POT 8)… we have a shot making into 2nd round… we can beat Venezuela and Cape Verde there and have a shot beating Finland… FIBA screwed the groupings against the host…

This is a point that I agree on. As I said, Chot is only about the 4th most to blame for our disappointing performance. I would say Al Panlilio, Vargas and Al Chua are more to blame for limited preps prior to this year and the mysterious exclusion of certain good players. I think his culpability more is in his system and in his belated realization that JC was better off as an SG. Even the JC as SG move might have been only possible against the weakest opponent China, because Dwight found it hard driving against our previous opponents. Even his system is not so bad if you factor in that it is a "system" that you can plug and play a dominant scorer with minimal practice time. It obviously isn't effective at winning but that's another discussion.

All this hate is actually better pointed at to Al P, Vargas and Al Chua. But being the good and loyal Pinoy that he is, Chot won't laglag these guys in the media. He attributed to this when he said that wouldve liked to have included guys like Balti if not for things that were because of the players and outside the players. So he alluded to decisions that superseded him and the players probably SMC and Al Chua.

Finally, I think Chot resigning is a good thing because he has been lightning rod for all the bad in our basketball program that he doesnt really have control in. Without him the guys in the background will have to come and face the public and take responsibility for their bad and selfishly motivated decisions.

Maybe it was too late but he did the honorable thing and resigned. That is pride and understanding that things needs to end and that you didn’t do your job. The politicians in this country never do this so Chot doing it shows he has more character and heart than scuk cringe politicians but to be fair this is basketball compared to politics but still.
 
Dunno where to put this one but here’s the podcast with BRP jr. as guest. check it out

 
Italy playing its 3rd stringers in Procida and Spagnolo in a KO game vs Puerto Rico. These are kids that are next in line, getting their “learning experience” in the highest stage and a very important game. Meanwhile….

small skilled >>>>>>>>>>>>> tall stiff

we may have payers as tall as the sub 5'9 japanese point guards but they're not on the same level as those guys

"puso pa more", that's just a sexy cliche but at the end of the day skill over puso anytime, everytime
 
Is this guy a member here? He always ignores replies on youtube weather it's in English or Tagalog, I just wanna ask him to stop taking shabu.

I didn't appreciate how Mercado insinuates that we don't celebrate Parks as much as Kai or other local players who played abroad. Typical American leftist "I'm Oppressed" mindset.

Im not totally convinced that he has resigned....I will only believe if the new coach has already started coaching Gilas....and that new coach must not have a Reyes as a surname.

Is he wrong tho? Just look at how the netizens reacted with an outrageous uproar when the rumor of Abando was being cut, compared to how the majority reacted when Parks was actually cut (just went through the wind).
 
Looks like USA wants to lose like Canada. Anemic defense.

Paid 5k to see USA blown out LOL
