Regarding Syria, can anyone conclude that the wildcard berth given to Taipei is justified now? They lost to Iran and the Philippines by close margins and are on their way to the quarters most probably, would Syria have done the same or better?

[rodreyes]

Imagine if the Philippines fielded this roster:

PG - Alapag, Uninjured Helterbrand
SG - Uninjured Caguioa. Hontiveros, Lutz
SF - Young/Uninjured Seigle, Kelly Williams, Norwood
PF - Mick Pennisi, Japeth Aguilar
C - Young Taulava, CJ Giles (naturalized)

Reserves: Young Menk, James Yap, Willie Miller

This team will kick ass......

Should've entered the naturalization process earlier:

CJ Giles

I Wonder what Macmac Cardona couldve brought to the team?? would have he become a consistent scorer? The RP teams go to guy? or would he be riding the bench like the PBA's most efficient player(according to stats) Arwind Santos?

Cardona, has an unorthodox shot and may seem awkward.. could this have been effective and could it have caught the opposition off guard.. not to mention Cardona has 3pt range, and some pesky defense..

what if he was brought in with Mike Cortez, and go apply the classic full court DLSU press.

Ahmad Ibrahim.

Top prospect in Lebanon,he would be a good asset to the team!

[SOLO]

For my NT Jordan :

Jamal Abu Shamala ( injuried days before FIBA Asia Championship )

Louai obeidi ( Best prospect for Jordan in the Future " 19 years old " )

Nasser Bassam ( almost retired , hes the best 3pt shooter ever in Jordan with really great penetrations )

Mahmoud Bassam ( left basketball due to Heart problems , 217 cm with really huge body , hes almost Hamed haddadi Jordan ;D )

Ibrahim Bassam ( Mahmoud's Bro , 208 cm with great Body , 21 years old )

Nedal shareef ( problems since Doha Games 2006 with Coach Mario Palma )

The men's national basketball team of the Philippines is one of the best-performing Asian teams in international tournaments, winning a bronze medal in the 1954 FIBA World Championship for men and a fifth-place finish in the 1936 Summer Olympics, the two best finishes of any Asian team in the history of the top two international basketball tournaments.(wikipedia)

*Philippines is still the best team in asia regarding on achievements and rich history. But because of the suspension in the international competition and BB program, i think the Philippines is now rank at 5 or 6 among the best team in Asia.

no doubt AIDIN NIKKHAH BAHRAMI

----------------------

Karam Ahmadian - retired from the NT but he is still great
Iman Zandi - personal problem with the federation
Saman Veisi - injury (he was able to play here but he decided to leave the team and do his surgery)
Jaber Rouzbahani - injury
Arsalan Kazemi - unknown !!!

I think this is our best possible team

PG: Kamrani, Davari, Veisi
SG: Afagh, Zandi
SF: Nikkhah, Ahmadian, Kazemi
PF: Sohrabnejad, Sahakian
C: Haddadi, Doraghi, Rouzbahani

what? is this for real nikkah just passed away?
