24th FIBA-Asia Championship [Jul 28-Aug 5 Japan]

[ival23]

My top 4 teams will be 1, china 2, philippines 3, lebanon 4, south korea Philippine national team have the best guards in asia in the likes of jay jay heltebrand and mark caguioa ( the fast and the furious tandem) both are extremely quick and athletic! they can breakdown defense by their 1 on 1 skills and quickness

For the love of God stop saying your team is number 1 In asia..your team didnt accomplish any thing at least for the last 10 years u been ranked as
10th..i dont care if u sent ur A team or ur x team even playing the asian club at ur home 2005 with what so called a team u got 8th place..so just spare me
u still live in the past and u still think that even korea is still a powerhouse
korea has droped since 2005 and i dont see them making any thing even this year plus
u east asian guys still play the same old fashion BBall run 'n' gun which is dead for a long time i dont know any other teams still play this way other than Phoenix suns!!! now its the time for the west asian teams Qatar jordan lebanon Iran...other than china in east asia with all respect i dont see any other competition..this is the TRUE FACT and u have to live with it..
just let me tell u some thing Jordan NT played against the second seeded club in greece 1Division and lost by 12 pts ...not losing by 35 pts from a syrian and trying to make fun of us by making it a decoy done by ur coach ..jeeeeeeeez

True.. Some Filipinos here are a bit dillusional if they think that the RP team is ranked number 1 in Asia. In fact I would even make a case that it doesnt belong to the top 5. But so is Lebanon, Iran and other west asian countries. The truth of the matter is, the only guaranteed spot in the rankings is China, of that being number 1. While the remaining slots are all up for grabs. Teams like Lebanon, Iran, Syria, Qatar, South Korea - none of us are sure which is a better team. You can even throw in countries like Taiwan, Japan, and yes, the Philippines in the mix. So dont be too overconfident and think that those West Asian countries will dominate basketball in Asia, because you are sorely mistaken to do so. And one more thing, you can make a case that West Asian countries like Lebanon, Iran, Syria haver performed really well in the past Asian games, but the fact is, which you cannot deny, is that those countries, except for Qatar, has never beaten the RP team A without any imports in their lineup.
jeeeez.. jeeeeez my as$..

When was that, I dont remember the RP team playing in Qatar. It would be nice if you could provide a link. I am curious to find out the lineup of that RP team.

I remember correctly it was in the Jones Cup that Qatar beat the RP National pool team by 10 pts. Thats the one I was referring in my earlier post... I gave that to Qatar, no excuses there... We also lost to Taiwan and an American minor league club.

Mikepogi, when did qatar beat philippines? Yeah they beat philippines last year but that was a hastily assembled mix of amateur and not so good pro-players. The fact is Qatar never defeated a feal RP team in the history of the sport.

No MikepogiPhilippines beat Qatar by 11, I remember willie miller saying something like "mapoporma kasi at mukhang athletic kaya pinakitaan ko rin".

[mikepogi]

I give that to them.. Irregardless whether we sent the National pool team, we could say Qatar an all-pro team. I could even give them the benefit of the doubt that Qatar didnt send their NT's final lineup in the Jones Cup. Fair is fair, they won and we should concede the lose.

[anti_morales]

Yeah after all our national team showed what it is really made of, without tony dela cruz, w/o seigle, w/o James Yap, w/o kelly williams, w/o naturalized players and most especially w/o two 7'3 imports
