Day 1, Group A: Philippines vs. Sri Lanka

[FatFingerz]

the bright spot is that they have lots of assists...
There are less "dribble and dribble play"... way to go RP...


And maybe they are used to be the underdog in a game, and now that they are the favored they don't know how to act... They adjusted now hehe...

Already its a given we're going to win this game....but this is not a feel good win at all, with the way we played. This win leaves more of a sour taste in the mouth and has me really worried for our game against Japan tomorrow, a team that is complete as to what they brought in the Jones cup.

86-26 after three quarters. Sri Lanka is practically dead after already not showin anything in the first half. Brave guys, attending a tournament like this although not being able to show more than low level highschool basketball.

Philippines need to step up a whole lot to stand a chance against better teams.

[regierr]

Why do we keep penetrating when we have a big lead already. They should shoot from the outside.

[FatFingerz]

Oh boy I'm quite distracted with their body fit uniform... hehe

why were the players from the 2007 RP team changed like jimmy alapag and caguoi ? they were more talented and had much more fire power and ur centers have awful bodies ...taulava looks fat and out of shape and japeth looks like he hasnt eaten in a month .....this rp team doesnt look good ...when i saw them in 2007 i thought that RP was on the rise by keeping the players they had but getting more fil-ams maybe tall 1s and naturalizing a center but RP has taken a step back from 2007 ...they were maybe the 5th or 6th best team in 2007 , now their definitely not top 8 and their maximum potentiol is maybe getting to the 1/8 finals definitely wont win the game there ......

[bsgermany]

it certainly is! Who would not beat that team?

It's called politics buddy. Also, Aguilar is a young kid. He's only 22 so he'll eventually develop in years to come. I also thought that the Philippines was a top 4 team back in 07. It just happened that the team had to play against contending teams such as Jordan and Iran.
