thats correct but if escandor battled arakji from other sid eof court he would blow by him and make a lauyup..its really the 5 guys job on making everyone a cover..Ahmad Ismail is a veteran

Did Tiu was ever an assistant coach in any team that faced Arakji before? Dwight bothered Arakji because of his size and ability to be on his face,and Arakji have to play defense and gets tired,Scottie was just all hands on that guy and he got away with it.Gilas should have this in their memory banks that Arakji loves to drive it deep and then if he can't score he will draw the perimeter defender then make that "Hail Mary Pass",and receiver banked it in.

Toroman should have tips how to defend Arakji... He was the coach of Indonesian team that faced Lebanon twice in WC qualifiers back in 2022... Although both are blow outs since Lebanese are superior than Indonesians...
 
It's sad two of those are against Philippine teams. And against NBA players at that. It seems Arakji has a penchant of upping his game against superior competition.

Talking before about Go to Guy clutch in other thread, Arakji has that ability in all of aspects... I will not surprise if Dubai team that will join in Euroleague next year will tap Arakji as their one of their PGs....
 
Poor Snow Badua and his followers... They take some post from Lebanon pages very seriously... Cmon!!! This is just a sport, They have always our numbers... Just move on and come back stronger... Snow Badua is the biggest crybaby sh*t I've ever seen in my life... No wonder most fans didn't take Snow's post very seriously... Even the UAE naturalization & New York Knicks SL stint still not formally true... Better wait to be post by both parties first to confirm the issue...

That last play last night was really special. Not a lot of people could see that angle and make that pass when already in the air. Damn Kiefer was supposed to be our answer to Wael and Guo. So many sayangs on our side. BRP, Kief, Jap, Kobe, Kai.

Correct.. doesnt need to be assistant charles was commentating in the Gilas(with Clarkson) Lebanon game where Amir Saoud killed us..
One thing for sure though lebanese legaue teams are well coached.. isnt Manny harris is a great import but not really exceptional outside ihis offensive skills) and the other guys just play their roles well.. San Miguel has more firepower than Riyadi heck even tnt when healthy..

But Riyadi will surely beat any PBA teams due to chemistry... I think they can even beat top Japan, China and Korean ball clubs... They beat SGA, that has numerous imports... That is a big feat for the ball club... I hope somewhere in the future EASL and WASL will combine into real Asian champions league... I want to see who is the best ball club team in whole Asian region...
 
Just saw Yeshkel's recap of the game. There were indeed several missed calls. Arakji's post moves were obvious traveling that were not called. So I take back what I said about Balti's defense there. Although he still couldn't stop Harris. I also remembered Heading's 2 missed FTs. I vaguely remember that he is a bad FT shooter. This is strange for such a good 3 pt shooter.

Riyadi's defense packed the paint and focused on the strong side. When the ball was passed to the weak side they just ran off the shooters. Unfortunately, it seems they've found the antidote to KQ. KQ is actually a bad ball handler for an SF. He needs to develop a counter to hard close outs and that means improving his handles more.
 
Thank you riyadi and thank you zeinun on shwoing UP how to defend.. KQ..
 
With the success and attention SGA got, they need to be more active and join more tournaments.

Jones Cup sana but banned na yata sila hehe.

Arakji will be a big torn in Gilas side,in this coming years,someone in that coaching group should take a note to best neutralize the dude early in the game.
 
SGA should join here instead.. tap blatche and howard

A new ASIAN LEAGUE will be launched this coming April.

It will be called THE ASIAN TOURNAMENT.

Kuliglig told me so far it has 6 teams.

2 from Taiwan
1 macau
1 hongkong
2 philippines

More leagues, more opportunities for Pinoy ballers.​
 
They are not really banned but taiwan won't invite them again just like Ateneo.

I see..

with that lineup composed of Blatche and Howard..no wonder they will only bulldoze any opposition if ever they will be allow to join.

I think not, especially who joined last year… US team represents a D1 school team… I think they are better than this current Strong group line up…
