Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. V

[digitalsuperman2]

I know it's just one game but damn, are we seeing a Pringle 2.0 in the making with a little less explosiveness but with better overall offensive game? How I wish his eligible to play for NT!

mikey is damn good. now i know why yeng got so mad when that pick went to TNT

 

[mathematicianrcg2]

Robert Bolick should be in gilas regardless of what empire he is in, SBP Must do whatever it takes to include him to play in some windowa and in 2023 world cup. Keifer and bolick would solidifies our point guard rotation.

I wonder what is that " whatever it takes" thing.

But if it will happen, I think smc will ask for the world.lmao

 

[reamily2]

For me, Bolick is THE top point guard. He is a tough defender and has already proven he can keep up in world level speed. I don’t see any other guard come close to his defensive acumen excluding prime Ross. Heruela maybe.

2 way ability and the drive makes him a very capable gilas player

Yeah, Bolick is such a crafty slasher. Not that quick or agile, & not that athletic but he's very skilled. A shortcoming though is that he seems to always drive going to the right. Its rare that I see him slashing going to the left side.

This is something that the defense might learn to deal with.

 

[interxavierxxx2]

Do you think Bolick has a chance to play in B-League? His contract will expire at the end of this year.. I think B-League teams already know his game, He's always in the radar anyway...

Many Filipino players are now on the radar. B-League starting to realise how much they can get out of Pinoy players if they don't waste their careers in the PBA.

If you're a young Filipino wing (6'5-6'7) and big (6'8+), then you're better off playing overseas than rotting in the Philippine Bulok Association.

And with the history of Bolick's case, He might have a chance.. He doesn't want to be in a team who are super loaded in his position.. Remember, He leave DLSU to join San Beda because he want opportunities.. DLSU can give him more perks than SBU but the latter give him more playing time.. Now, if Bolick will be transfer in any SMC teams malamang di nya to magugustuhan because we all know how loaded SMC teams, especially in his position.. SMB has Perez, Romeo, Ross and Cabagnot.. Magnolia still have Barroca, Jalalon, Lee and Melton and Ginebra still have Tenorio, Scottie and Pringle.. Puno na position for guards.. Although Ginebra can give him space because LA is now on his twilight of his career, But Bolick wants a better role if in case he will be traded.. And he's not yet family man.. He can go Japan w/o worrying because he's still bachelor..

I'm not hyping him but base on how good he plays in some international exhibition games
and last 2019 world cup, he might be good enough to be a 2nd stringer point guard in australian nbl teams and or maybe a premiere pg in new zealand.

Damn Bolick really has the puso factor to play for the national team. Just look at his words! promising that the next time they meet, Iran will not jump and they will take it as motivation! Very competitive spirit and really feeling the pain of the losses. It seems like the kind of player that Tab wants, attitude wise. I hope that Chua will allow him or that he will sign elsewhere if his contract expires.

Too bad that he's bound to go to the Evil Empire.

Isn’t he dating Aby Maraño from the Volleyball team?

 

[interxavierxxx2]

Let's see after their contract expires this December.. He and Perez both have 3 year contract w/ their respective teams and bound to end after signed last 2018.. And B-League allow teams signing Asian imports until February next year.. Will they go Kiefer route?

They can always FU the evil empire and bail.

If they do well, there’s no point going back to the PH and play ball.

It’s like how most OFWs see no point returning to the Philippines to work because the money they’ll make is peanuts.

Big chance that he will play in Japan next year especially that he has an expiring contract this year...For one, he is friends with Kiefer who guided him and trains with him during his college days...Second, Bollick namannhas higher goals just like his batchmates, he won't settle in the Paliha ni Alfrancis...Having 1.5 million salary monthly is not bad either...

Enrique Razon ( #3) is part owner of NorthPort, right? Razon has lapped Ramon Ang's (#9) billions. So why he is acting like the SMC boss' cum bucket in the PBA?

LOL good list

I will never understand how one ownership group can own 4 teams. Why would you even want to own 4 teams? They don't all make money. They really don't even have big fanbases because they don't have a region/city they are apart of, and they are named after corporations people don't care about.

The PBA will forever not make sense, but I do like watching the games that are not blowouts.

That's why SBL in Taiwan is slowly dying - because they are named after private businesses that Taiwanese people don't care about. When P.League+ entered into the picture, you'll see how Taiwanese crowd love it and support their cities fighting. Result? jampacked arenas for that four P.League+ teams plus the media mileage.

I believe that last year might be the last year for the SBL as they are about to be dislodged by the T1 League - another regional-based league.

Problem is, who is rich enough to own a team and keep it in the region. Whether it's fan-owned or owned by one person, somebody has to keep the team running and keep it in the region.

However, I do think that corporations and companies ideally should be limited to sponsorships.

 

[IPC2]

Lol it just prove that in these bubble setting eventually gunebras age will become a disadvantave bench mob of aging dillinger devance chan wouldnt be much help as years go by and suddenly japeth who as luckily been healthy the majority of the last decade compare to his gilas early pba stint is starting to feel the effects of mileage..

We'll see I believe with these japan brouhaha and pandemic times i think its time to pba to step up and be more cooperative to sbp..

I really hope so. True PBA support for Gilas (meaning enough time to prepare for the main tournament, all the best players for the system ready and able) will revitalize the league in terms of fan support.

In the NBA, it is not the place that is controlling in the franchise but the monicker itself. For instance, New York Nets became the New Jersey Nets. Now, they are the Brooklyn Nets. You see, the franchise is not the place but the monicker itself.

Another example, Minneapolis Lakers became the Los Angeles Lakers. St. Louis Hawks became the Atlanta Hawks. New Orleans Jazz became the Utah Jazz. San Diego Clippers became the Los Angeles Clippers.

When some owners are buying shares of ownership in an NBA team, they are not buying the place but the monicker itself. Monicker = Franchise.

That's the reason why teams in the NBA teams retain the tradition and history of their franchise - because the franchise, in itself, is a separate entity that is distinct to the owners or company owning such team.

I'm basing my thinking on European teams. As much as possible, the teams stay in one place (although there are exceptions, such as English football team Wimbledon FC, which moved to Milton Keynes).

But, yeah. Even in Europe, the team name is the franchise, not the city.
