Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. V

[C2Hamm2]

if PBA really wants to rep the Philippines, can't they just use pure PBA players and coaches? not even Kiefer in this instance. use whoever NP they want. prep they way they want and would allow. they can prepare however they want the whole nine yards.
i wouldnt like it, but that would be fair to the PBA and even to other stakeholders. ayaw natin ng best available with proper exposure and training, e di inyo na lahat. there wont be finger pointing if this is the setup. if soemthing good comes out, then 100% its with them. if something bad comes out of it, 100% pwede bumawi next time.

In the likely situation that SMC will take over the SBP after the 2O23 WC , it makes sense to start making sip sip.

It 's how things work in the Philippines forever, just look at the change in government administration , same story.

Doesn't take a genius to figure out , what's really happening, spotted a million miles away.

Oh Turnover transition begins now , not after 2023

 

[CoJ2]

The PBA, without realizing it, is hellbent in embarrassing Philippine hoops.

Maybe, an embarassing WC 2023 finish will truly shake things in PH basketball.

sad reality: FIBA 2023 might be the last time we play in the worlds if this type of self enamored sh** continues. They are so blinded with the results of the 2014 WC and the 2016 OQT, tsktsk

Not enough, Their final game is July 10 (vs Ginebra), and FIBA Asia cup starts on July 12... No way they can go there, and besides, they have to prepare for playoffs (They are always contenders)... So they have no time for that... I don't know when the final day of submitting of line ups for FIBA Asia cup but it's impossible for PBA players to cut it off the line up for the tournament...

Bro, ano ba kayo? Choke Reyes is just too good an international coach that he can easily moonlight at coaching both TnT & the National team with relative ease!!!!!!!!!!! With regards to the TnT players, subrang galing kaya nina Pogoy, montalbo & Rosario that there won't be no problem for them to jell with their other Gilas teammates!!!!

We are sending a Phi national "Dream Team" handled by the most brilliant basketball tactician in the history of FIBA basketball!!!!!!

I hate to agree with everything U said brother, but you are spot on

Oh, sorry, July 10.

In that case, good luck trying to make the Asia Cup.

Typical PBA shitty mentality - preparing for a major FIBA tournament as if preparing for an all-star game. I won't be surprised if we lost to both Lebanon & New Zealand in the elims & won't even make it to the quarterfinals at all.

Shit pa more PBA!!!!

 

[JAMSKIE2]

Hahahahahahaha.... TNT fan ako pero natawa ako dito.... WTF!!!! I would rather pick old Castro, Ryan Reyes and Kelly Williams for those baldog boys of TNT... Since 2016, TNT invest for Troy and Pogoy but until now no results, although when Mark Dickel enters the team, I see some developments for Troy and Pogoy but when Dickel left, they were back to useless again.... w/o Mikey, TNT will still hunting for championship since 2015...

I'm a TnT fan as well bro

 

[Rds2]

I remember Dickel because he was the first guy to feature and give Trollano major minutes. He even regularly posted Trollano against smaller guards. He had to trade Trollano though to get Barbie Parks. Except for the conf with 1 finals appearance, where he barely played, TNT did not get much from Parks IMO. Except for that conf where he got injured in the finals he was not able to lead the team to success.

SBP would come full circle then if ever that happens. Underwhelmed/performed with supposedly strong, continental-beating, majority PBA-backed roster in 2007, yet the same thing might happen again to the 2023 team.

I hope the case would not be the same for 2027 campaigns and beyond.

It's not a joke, this is worrying to Pilipinas basketball the entry of SMC. This will surely be the dark ages of basketball ala BAP era with the type of people and mind in SMC who are archaic, backward minded, not aware of new era of fiba basketball, and allot of BCAP supporters and very much PRO PBA, and Chua. What is SBP thinking? Do they care more of friendship and utang na luob than to win for medal and cups in Fiba? And up to now Coach chot and even his son is still in Gilas, evenn if there style and system is failing, are they afraid of the Reyes and MVP? Nepotism , politics and lack of Delicadeza is crippling again our basketball in Pilipinas.

 

[DAdmiral2]

I think money talks, if there is NO committed budget for 2023 it's inevitable to accept funding from a rich and willing benefactor (SMC), it's how the world works.. especially in Philippines

it's not unrealistic for the Reyes's to have volunteered to work essentially for free, but recoup thru other benefits... so it's like they're martyr's (or feeling ) lol

 

[empyreanmaze2]

If Choke was really competitive in the international level, that's fine. But he is not as proven by the almost lost to Thailand and the actual loss to Indonesia in the SEA Games.

A full force choke lineup gets a** raped by Korea and Australia with no lube, can only win against a weaker Japanese team by less than 10, the only team that it can consistently beat is Chinese Taipei lol and also might be lucky against a c tier China team like back in 2017. I don't think any other pinoy coaches can do better than choke though, there is a reason even modernizing armies need foreign advisors and leaders. It is true that the players aren't the problem anymore with our new generation of bigs and talented kids, the problem is how comfortable the retards in power are with using spears and village tactics when the battlefield already has tanks and airplanes. It's really a cultural problem that extends beyond sports, pinoy brand of things just stop evolving past a certain limit and will get left in the dust.

To add, basketball should not be a priority for a poor country like ours. It really should be on the rich to pay for it.

Bro. sorry if I keep on re-posting this nightmare of a game back in 2017..I think I haven't move on to tell you honestly.

wow, so we are adding an asst coach who handles a PBA team and will be an asst for another team? hindi na tayo kontento with a head coach who is handling a PBA team aside from the NT that, lets be real, is still very fluid. no core yet to work with. we really like people who can multi task.

I read a Tweet saying it's for the World Cup.

Beke nemen he's going to master the swarm defense of the Heat to use against Gilas opponents.

 

[live_evil2]

anyone with connections to the NPA? Perhaps they can help in solving our problems when it comes to basketball politics. haha
