well yes, having an intact core would definitely be a big boost for the success of the team but without a proper system and conditioning, I doubt they wont have to this success in this on going PBA conference.

Sorry for that dude. Its just I was merely marveling at the clinical win of Alaska over Gilas and then this guy gets on my case with his scary all caps remarks and eventually he degenerates to insults and name-calling. So, I just couldn't resist showing him how he made himself look like an immature, angry, playground bully. My apologies to everybody.
Back to regular programming. I was wondering if it would have made a difference in the Alaska vs. Gilas game if Gilas played zone.
See my point guys? Just a lot of name-calling and insults.
But i gotta admit, the fact that he's soooo corny makes him funny. Ha ha. "Lizardking is really a lizard", That the most stupid, non-sensical and corny line I've heard today. Its so stupid that it becomes funny. Ha ha. Man you crack me up with your neanderthal prose. How can you not love this guy.

The Triangle Offense, so important to the success of the Chicago Bulls and LA Lakers, is an offense that features a "sideline triangle" and a weakside "two-man game", and is effective against man-to-man defense. The offensive players always try to fill the five spots, and in this sense is similar somewhat to a patterned offense. There are however, unlimited options and, similar to a motion offense, players "read and react" to the defense. The offense stretches the defense with good spacing, creating problems for the helpside defense and trapping. Cutting and good passing are important keys. This offense takes a fair amount of practice time to learn, and you need "basketball-smart" players to run it effectively. Youth teams could perhaps use parts of it, as the offense does help players learn to read and react to the defenders, which is a good thing for kids to learn. This offense is described in detail on the Deluxe CD and the Coach's Clipboard's downloads, and in the premium member's section of this web-site.
Zone defense is different from man-to-man defense in that, instead of guarding a particular player, each zone defender is responsible for guarding an area of the floor, or "zone", and any offensive player that comes into that area. Zone defenders move their position on the floor in relationship to where the ball moves. Their are advantages and disadvantages of zone defenses. For example, you can often stop dribble-penetration and protect the paint with a 2-3 zone, but you give up some pressure on the outside. See "Zone Defense" for details. Zone defenses can be categorized based on the defensive "set" that you use (2-3, 1-2-2, 3-2, 1-3-1, etc). Rebounding out of a zone defense is also important. See Zone Defense Rebounding
Specific Zone Defenses 2-3 (or 2-1-2) Zone Defense... protect the paint and stop dribble-penetration. But watch out for those outside shooters. You can play a "sag-back" type of 2-3 zone, or a more aggressive, trapping 2-3 zone. 1-2-2 and 3-2 Zone Defenses... with the 1-2-2, pressure the ball on the outside arc, allow for some trapping, but you leave the high post, middle of the paint, and corners open. Close the high post by adjusting and switching to a 3-2 zone. 1-3-1 Zone Defense... apply pressure on the outside arc and high post, and allow for some trapping, but you are vulnerable inside and in the corners. Two styles are presented... a conventional, more conservative zone, and a more aggressive, trapping style. Amoeba Defense... a gambling, surprise tactic zone defense that can get you steals and turnovers. Defense for the Last Few Seconds of the Game... defensive strategies for the end of a close game.

I don't get it Sir Nards, if the triangle is meant to overcome the man-to-man defense, why then didn't Coach Toroman utilize the zone or any variant thereof? Also, I can't get any replay of the game so I can't rewind to see what Gilas was doing right on both ends during the first quarter.

from what I see it, it's a much bigger challenge to them to win against a triangle using a man-to-man. As I said before, one of the reasons GILAS is playing at the PBA is the brush-up their man-to-man. As we know they're still fine-tuning that part of their game and the zone defense can best be learnt and worked on when they go to Australia. Few realize that when South Korea won the basketball gold in the 1982 Asian Games they used the 1982 Invitational of the PBA to practice their man-to-man defense which helped them a lot in New Delhi.
actually Coach Rajko could have played the PBA way and win a lot of games but he did not do it as it defeats the purpose. He could easily made a lot of isolation plays for Japeth and CJ then or a lot of one-on-one by Mark Barocca but he insists on playing the correct way which is how they'll be playing if they're overseas. He already said that he's going to work on defense when they go to Down Under so he's just following the program he has laid-out. We are afraid a lot of fans would not be enjoying this kind of ways but it is being done because the objective is really peak 2011 and not 2009 as from this time upto 2011 is to just practice and master all the plays and strategies he has in mind, and I have to be frank that this team is really still a work-in-progress.
Since Coach E is now part of the Gilas coaching staff, maybe we could see some of the D tactics he learned from his AIS visit implemented in future games.
he just swats saliva away without making any sense.
