the philippines is not a serious contender because from what i see in the coach he's not that interestred in fiba asia. theres no formal practice until now. i think he's about to let the WBC slip away because he's just being realistic.

This is the general opinion of the non-believers in our team. And we respect that. What we hope to do is surprise a lot of Asian teams, Asian fans and even Filipino doubters about with our performance. i believe we will finish 4th place--- respectable ending, but not enough to qualify. But even then it will show that we are nearer to our Asian counterparts than what they expected.

i do believe coach yeng is serious in his bid for the phils to qualify for WBC. there's no doubt about that. let's just have faith on his ability to steer the rp team to do battle with the Asian basketball giants. we can say all we want but we must understand that the task ahead is not easy. they need all our support not condenscending views and put downs. peace brothers.

why fourth? what do you think is lacking in the nt? and what qualities do the top 3 have that we can't beat them?

I think its the preparation and not enough time for Kots Kalbs to pick the final line-up... the organizer (FIBA Asia) change the deadline of submitting the final line-up in the middle of the Jones Cup... thats our Achilles' heel... so Yeng have to cut someone in his line-up maybe after two games in the Jones Cup... its very unfair and disadvantageous for us... we'll have our revenge when we host the tournament...

I still would want to know Tyler's personal view. anyway, how's your fight with Dead Lizard? i know it's not my business but i just want to say that it sucks whenever i see pinoys fight it out in here. even in the internet we can't be united. what more in real life.

You really can't be Foolish like this , we played against eygpt without Jackson Vromer, Fadi Alkhatib, Matt Freji, Brian Bshara and Daniel Faris( we didn't have any center ) plus this match is a friendly match .

We will see what will happen in asia but i'am sure that this title is ours ( Lebanon will be the new asian champions Mark My Words ) GOOOOOOOO LEBANON

ok its marked! ill wait for you here when the fiba asia tournament ends...

[samer_1_2]

FIBA MUST GIVE ASIA more then 3 places

FIBA MUST GIVE ASIA 4 PLACES FOR THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
and why not 5

BECAUSE ASIA DESERVE IT AND MORE ACCORDING TO population and according to the recent basketball level

It' s IRONIC for asian people for the papanese for the chinese for the idian for the arabs for the iranians even the level still below the european..

If it wil still 3 places we are going to still weekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

WAKE UP PEOPLE
KINDLY ALL of you MUST vote for this and make your voice high and high...
