We are gracious in this defeat

[rycorpz]

Our team lose 76 - 84 give our team our cheers they deserve it

[saints13]

OK LANG NA MATALO!!!

Habang may buhay may pag-asa.

sana e every year e kakaririn na ng RP team ang international competition, wag yun every 4 years lang at nagcrecreate sila ng hype tapos puro ilusyon na RP is the best in Asia etc.

translation:
Philippine Basketball should be realistic and should stop myths and make beliefs about our RP team, they should work hard for their goals and keep on improving, there will be FIBA Asia every now and then, and hopefully the RP team will get stronger and stronger

omg, pilipinas lost to jordan!

[ctongco]

Congratulations to Jordan. I hope this will not be the end of the National Team program of the Philippines. Well, it's tough that RP lost. I guess we should practice more. Again, Congratulations to Jordan.

look on the bright side, as u will observe it; you will notice that in SouthEast Asia, it's quite rare for teams there to be competitive in Football or Basketball.

As what I've realized, Philippines is the only country in SouthEastAsia who has a rich history in Basketball. RP is the only country in SouthEastAsia who appeared in World Competitions in Basketball. Look at Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the rest our SEA neighbors; they haven't been to a world competition in Football nor do I think they will ever be in basketball.

This is only the beginning, let our failures lead to our success in the future. What I mean is that let it be an inspiration for us to get better. Philippines will always be the best SouthEastAsian country.

another thing is that this is only Asian Basketball... the biggest deal is when a country in Asia wins a world event. There's still Billiards, let's support our RP Pool Players in the upcoming World Pool Championships. Remember that we are the defending champions there.

good advice, english please

good point
i think we need a european coach
i dunno about reyes' system coz it didnt show in our games
i really believe china deserved to win against us bec. they're the better team but we're the lucky ones lol
wat i saw in our 3 games were a lot of isolation plays for alapag and caguioa

i have no doubt about our players' skills but i really think that a team which is intimidated, scared and hesitates a lot DOES NOT DESERVE EVEN A SINGLE WIN in this kind of competition


my sentiments:

pennisi- no energy on def., his slow defensive rotation gave jordan 2 if its 3 3pointers in the 2nd quarter which ignited jordan's comeback in the game

caguioa- intimidated in all his 3 games, he shoots at least 5 teardrops a game in jones cup and manila invitationals, in this tournament i think he succumbed to the pressure, i love it when he gets inside coz he get a lot of fouls

hontiveros- please dont foul a player when he already took a bad shot, ur game didnt blossom here bcoz of ur foul troubles

and lastly...

chot reyes- i really dont know wats in ur mind here in japan
in our loss to iran, u benched williams who's comeback in the game late in the 4th quarter started our last and only succesful rally against iran

in our loss to jordan u limited alapag's playing time, he's our main guy, its good for him, i think, to get his rythm early in the game
he's gonna give a lot of pressure to jordan

Coach Chot is not good entry of his players, second it's easy to gap and slow on his defensive rotation lingering, third lack of motivation, forth if his players are ice cold, jitters etc he urge of trying to get, fifth it's easy to trace our offensive passing and shooting the ball like a robot

We need the next Ron Jacobs, American or European coaches
