We dont need cohesion for the oqt, we just need representation. One player per team makes it fair for every team, similar to what south korea planned...

A lot of the differences of 2014 has to do with Prime Blatche vs Over the Hill. Its basketball a lot of the time the team with the best player wins.

Agree with this. Moving it to 19 gives the person time to decide whether he identifies as a filipino enough to process the papers on his own.

The problem with picking a PBA player from each team is the cohesion. The lack of cohesion is what led to the 2019 disaster. From giving Argentina a...

Easy answer is because they dont need to at the moment and nothing is stopping them to process it at a later date.

How about "conveniently american"? Are all immigrants just "conveniently american"? Capitalism is real, dont blame the worker.

Yep, for me the point of that team is to not bother the current timeline and preparation of the gilas cadets. Id rather prepare a separate team...

Didn't they all work on their papers AFTER they've been offered basketball careers in the Philippines? Again, the question is, why didn't their...

Nah i dont think so, and neither can every other wing we have in the country.

Excuse #1 is just plain arrogant. Excuse #2 is pointless. Playing for the country is a sacrifice and there are pba players who are sacrificing....

Because doing such leaves people behind. People like Standhardinger who give there hearts out everytime they play for the country. Ideally no pinoy...

What about defensively? You think he can keep up with Bogdan Bogdanović?

I think a very big part of the problem with not only the Team Lietuva coaches and players as well as the media is that they've ALL been underrating...

That's the only part of the Hagop that is dubious. But not the entire premise. Rather than advocating the removal, why not ask them to move it to age...

LOL. What is the point of this team? No continuity, no nothing. Just so random. Btw, Standhardinger and Adams can't play together. They are both...

Hey youre the one talking about the bubble and all of this relates to covid including why NZ withdrew.

Im really amazed how you can drag the conversation away from the maintopic. Good luck with that

Look at the examples Remy Martin- according to interview 16(Maybe he mispoke,hopefully). Ron Harper Jr-Reportedly 17. Chris Koon-months after 16th...

I think that there is just a disconnect on how the gilas camp define “wing” and how we fans define it. i think (not sure) playing the wing in coach...

It's completely understandable why only a few PBA joined the recent bubble training. 1) The Philippines have pretty much qualified for the FIBA...

It does deprive them because as kids they dont really have autonomy to decide. Its on there parents. If you change it to 19 at least adults made the...

I mean the only reason we are in the OQT is because we are losers vs COVID unlike New Zealand which does what it takes to win.

If pure pba, id go with this option i posted a few pages back

The question I raised was not about leaving, but how many Filipino North Americans don't even bother registering their children as Filipinos.ea...

I rewatched the Cadet's games VS Thailand with an emphasis on Baltazar. He may be more mobile than current PBA big men, he still leaves a lot to be...

Vaccine supply is still very limited even here in the US. They are only still.vaccinating "high risk".people (healthworkers, people 65 and older)

Should or shouldnt is another topic for debate. Right now there are no indications of the vaccine being provided. Bottomline, these pba players...

Risk/Reward but yeah ideally everyone in the OQT should be vaccinated.

Pure cadets nalang. If it's pure PBA, high chances that it's another 1 week practice.The core of the cadets at least have been playing for a year...

All the more reason they need to play, they need experience. Lol
