SBP Long-term national team pool (vol. XIII)

[brod782]

Congrats Gilas!!!

 

[interxavierxxx2]

barrocca is showing toroman that he is better than alapag... hehehe...

And he's also showing that he's a better ball hog. The Barroca back in 2009 was better; he needs to get his form back.

 

[silverwing2]

My goodness "NANGGIGIL NA TLAGA AKO KE TOROMAN" wtf is he doing. My goodness 4 small guys Tiu, Casio, Barroca, Baracael or Lutz and Douhit. Come on, that is the players that we will use against power house of Asia,4 small guys. Anh he is wasting this opportunity to practice to play big using Greg and Douhit at the same time and giving him a lot of minutes so greg will get stronger and faster and built up his confidence.

My goodess , comeon Toroman all tournaments alreadyproven that the dreaded small ball concept will never ever work. He is wasting Greg potential. He has already proven to be a contributor and an impact player when he played in USA camp, EURO camp, against Jordan and Qatar.

I'm pissed to watch the game how toroman bastardize the national team by alwasy playing small ball and making Douhit tired without support from another big man.

I assure you guys if we will play with this type of set up of 4 small guys. Kiss even a 6th place goodbye.

What if Marcus get injured before Fiba Asia ? hope it would not happen as toro's system is small ball+doughtit dependent. Is Greg a sakuragi (secret weapon) of Smart Gilas? lol

103 - 98 for Gilas. A good way to start the campaign. Now the only concern is Mac's hand.

Smart Gilas is going to be tough if Douthit's going to keep playing like this. Teams can't take bad shots or commit turnovers against them.

PBA refs are dickheads. glad gilas was able to pull off a win. cant wait to see ryan, kelly and douthit play on the same team.

 

[noilsen2]

Sometimes it is necessary not to go tall... TnT would have blitzed them if Gilas played big as most of TnT's points came from transition.. So given the situation, going small was the right thing to do...

 

[jesronne2]

with mac2x injury gilas now lacks firepower... maybe more playing time for ramos... and aguilar need to play now!

 

[sickcurtain_162]

Good start for Gilas! It already shows big leap compared from their previous PBA stint. Their recent international exposure is really paying off. Hope it continues. And hopefully, Mac's injury isn't that serious though if he's needed to be rested next game, let him so others can have his playing time and get exposed too.

Even with Asi on the line up he does not use them at the same time.

I'm pissed to watch the game how toroman bastardize the national team by alwasy playing small ball and making Douhit tired without support from another big man. What if he get injured or foul trouble. And it will also tire him against power house in Asia. They wasting this opportunity to practice playing big and for Greg to get faster. Big guys are being wasted in Toroman helm that is why Fajardo does not want to play for them.

I assure you guys if we will play with this type of set up of 4 small guys. Kiss even a 6th place goodbye. What a joke

What a joke of a post.

Anyway,

1. Asi isn't in the lineup. He's with Meralco.
2. Why change your playing style when it's effective?
3. Well, the dreaded small ball concept worked in Dubai this (and last year), ABA and tonight's game.
4. Can you verify that Fajardo made those statements?
5. Bastardize? Well, if you saw the game Ramos is helping Douthit in the shaded lane + the guards are rebounding well.
6. Everyone who read the last sentence became stupider.

At this stage, development is just secondary. They need to show the results of 2 and a half years of international training. They showed just that earlier on.

Williams nearly posterized Douthit. ^_^ I wonder what would have happened if that dunk went it

Problem is, toroman will go small no matter what.One dimensional isnt? Still hoping his system will do wonder this coming fiba tournament.

It would be a good training for our big guys to go with a fast motion like TnT's transition offense. Gilas joined PBA to prepare themselves for the Fiba Asia. We should open our eyes that our neighbors like China ,Iran, Korea and Lebanon has a good tall line up who are quick enough to go toe to toe with our small ball plays

Yeah i know.. I have no beef against toroman... But there are times that he sticks to a certain tactic even though it is not effective... But given the SITUATION a while ago, I think going small was the right call and it showed how effective their small ball was.. Well it's just their first game in the PBA so the rest remains to be seen..

Maybe he didn't see Ramos playing well. Ballesteros and Slaughter played as well. I wonder how things would be if Asi and Williams are in the lineup, along with a healthy Aguilar. As it is, Toroman just played the cards he was dealt.

To Greg's credit, he was in uniform and played in the game. Funny considering that some people were actually saying that he won't be playing for Gilas anymore after moving to Ateneo and getting out of shape

Amen to that.

I'm expecting to see the same comments on a famous SNS.

Japeth has to step up big time now that Mac might be out for awhile.

We should open our eyes that our neighbors like China ,Iran, Korea and Lebanon has a good tall line up who are quick enough to go toe to toe with our small ball plays

They wasted two years of playing on different competition and did not use those competitions to get use to playing big and to train our big men and make them faster and stronger. Well even against Powerhouse in Asia they use this dreaded small ball lineup which never effective against Iran, Japan, SK, in prestigious competition like the Asian Games. Against Jordan and Qatar we won against them using greg and with alot of minutes. And if this will be our set up against 3 or 4 bigs of Iran or China or Qatar and Jordan, we will not just be outrebounded but they will easily attack and defend our team.

Douhit will be overwork with this joke set up. My goodness, we have size but we have not use it properly. They did not train with tall line up set up properly and now with this dreaded small ball, expect injuries out rebounded, easily attacked and easily guarded.

I admire the courage of the guys but if this will be our style and set up, small ball crap. Not even a quarter final we ever qualify in Fiba Asia.
