Day 1, Group A: Philippines vs. Sri Lanka

[grahamtelly]

i think this could be the worst Japanese NT in years. cause they are not sending their best players for this tournament due to some internal problem(JBL and BJ League) even their naturalize player doesnt want to play for this team (JR Sakuragi). while their best players are busy dreaming bout the NBA and didnt join the team (Takuya Kawamura and Tabuse) then a month before the Fiba Championship their original head coach resigned (David Hobbs). so i hope team Pilipinas will beat them up. if we lose against Japan then i asume that this is the worst Team Pilipinas ever assembled in years...

I dont think so.Team Pilipinas our going to play their A Game this tournament.Normally we beat Japan 70-80% with our Pro players..Im expecting 15-20pts blow out by Philippines tom...Its Korea that we are 50-50 of winning againt them..So Gud Lucks RP.

kuwait. uzb is not that strong.

the RP vs japan game will be the the most competitive game tomorrow. all other games tomorrow will be blowouts.

The Sri Lankan team are small. A very good match up for our boys since they are good at playing in the open and slashing. Problem is when they play a taller and more agile teams. Yet to bee seen. Good luck to them tomorrow.

Not much. I saw Sri Lanka players are taller than Indonesia NT players. But Indonesia is better.

Even without James Yap. I think Sri Lanka is same level of Vietnam or Brunei NT, they can't beat Malaysia, India or Singapore.

Btw,
Philippine NT is still lack of shooting skills. What happen to Coach Yeng Guiao to teaching them their shooting skills. How about playing defense must be more improve for preparation against Japan and Korea. They shot attempt has most of wide-open could not got always, they like might be losing their shooting skills to other Filipino young kids.

Anyway Sri Lanka I think is a same level of Vietnam or Brunei NT. Of course they can't beat Malaysia even Singapore.
