no surprise! qatar nt players were sending a same from tokushima & 2007 jones cup players. their results were still normal.

Yes not surprisingly as expected, Qatar sent naturalized african citizens in their national lineup. What an advantage they had. I dont know if their high-leaping captain Yaseen Muosa played too. I think just like the rest, he's african from Somalia.

Well at least there is someone else that thinks that we're not in the best of conditions. I honestly believe that even with our full roster available (including Vogel and Khatib) we're still way behind China and to a lesser extent Iran. Jordan is preparing and naturalizing players left and right. Korea is always a threat. Kazakhstan and Philippines are on the rise. And we're still where we are .

smart-gilas (our college squad under toroman) is definitely on the rise. unfortunately, the team we're sending in FIBA Asia is another team composed of PBA players with little exposure to FIBA rules. we can only hope that it fares well against strong, big teams like lebanon. all other things being equal, i think our philippine team is only good for a fourth place finish.

would you agree that we, Filipino NT, will win a slot in FIBA via SEABA?..

me?, yes i do believe so

but for the FIBA tournament, i have doubts if the Philippine NT will even reach the quarter finals,..
china, lebanon, kazakhstan, and iran, where would Philippines be?

after all the arguments about aguilar, giles and lutz, this is the rationale..
this is just my opinion anyway. don't mind me.

but i am challenging the poweraide NT, after all that have been said about the smart gilas and how unexperienced they are but still manage to shake the defense of other asian NT, it's the poweraide team's time show what they are made of..

Yup. These are the Filipino fans. We can't even be united even in times of "war." The other countries must be laughing because even in our own backyard we can't even seem to be one.
