Group E, Day 3: Philippines vs Kuwait

[neo]

to all those who are disappointed that rp media is not giving attention to the rp team stint in china, you are wrong. they are not just giving enough attention .

maybe you should stop watching abs-cbn and just switch to gma-7. they have been releasing news about our fiba games, both in tv and online.

and actually, they have news about rp team even before the jones cup and before fiba-asia.

obviously it has something to do with gma-7's relationship with solar sports .but i am disappointed that mel tiangco info is wrong.twice she mentioned that the 2009 fiba-asia is a qualifying tournament for the 2012 london olympics .

and there are articles about powerade rp team in both the august 2009 issue of fhm and playboy philippines. i have my fhm copy and its a good read because yeng and other players were interviewed. plus there's a one-on-one interview with aguilar who was labeled as the "next big hope". i do not know about the content of playboy 'cause ive never tried reading that mag yet (200 is expensive ).

What's up with Kerby Raymundo? He was supposed to be one of the leader of this team, instead he's the most inconsistent (along with JA & Arwind). If probably coac Yeng, knew he'll play like $#!* on this tourney he could have just selected Ranidel DeOcampo. Even agains Kuwait, he stinks!

As of yesterday the standings of the 3 teams are:
Lebanon 2-2 (Quotient Point Difference +60)
Kazakhstan 1-3 (Quotient Point Difference -23)
Qatar 1-3 (Quotient Point Difference of -40)

Qatar beating UAE 91-45 just now, the Qataris now have a Quotient of +6 the door has been shut vs Kazakhstan even if the Kazakhs score an upset vs Lebanon I think it would be impossible that it would be a rout of 30 points.

That's the old system, Nardy. i do believe the only ones considered now for computations are the tied teams. Well, it's insignificant now since Lebanon is thrashing Kazakshtan. But you don't consider all the scores only the teams involved in the tie. Unless, FIBA again, changed it.

YG on Miller/Yap's resuscitated 3 pt shooting: "Nakuha lang sa sigaw at mura!"
After Norwood off. foul, ballistic YG went multilingual (hard to translate..), Norwood played a little better after. Better tape YGs mouth then; we need all this artillery Friday.

Japeth follow up dunk vs. Kuwait. Different without the applause; makes you realize a dunk is just a dunk. Silly Iranians, they don't even dunk!! ... & kept a good 18-20 pts ahead of us. No spin move, prihouette misses, no turnaround baseline jumpers off a fast break ... just slow-mo Ehdadi pivoting & schooling Sonny.

Blue Kuwaitis: Why is Rabeh playing 4 their team

Some CT, Sokor & Jap player particularly Tahekiko Orimo to become part of new MBA (mukhang-bading assoc)
BTW male sadist turned porn star "John Wayne Bobbit" (fed-up wife cut his manhood which doctors reattached) I heard has turned Jap & now goes by the name Tahetitiko.

buti na lang naka-score si thoss ng siko sa muka.hahaha

trans: its nice to see thoss scoring w/ a power move

[durden_tyler]

Yah tinisod ni Thoss kanina, tapos umika ng konti si 8...

Trans: Mission accomplished!

Good for you sir you saw it. Di ko na-timingan eh. Oh well, that sets it up for a hopefully highly-physical game against Jordan or China.

Yun din hinihintay ko eh

Trans: Waiting for Hell.

The game against China/Jordan will be most likely at 2PM on Friday (Unless FIBA changes their schedule)

Let's all do our scouting report in later today's China-Jordan tiff
