Day 1, Round 1 - Group C: Singapore - China

[Kokey Fanatic]

Okay, since mentioning my country's depleted roster is considered an excuse to you. Then why are you posters always mentioning that Gilas 3.0 is not the best team you can put up? Why keep mentioning that you do not have Fajardo, Paul Lee, Lassiter etc and that SMC won't lend you players? Isn't that excuse too? I can even memorize all the things that you would say when you lose since its always rehashed in the phillipine thread till the cows come home:

1) We always have bad habit of playing to our opponents standard
2) We are just having first game jitters
3) Our coach fault for playing the same rotation till exhaustion
4) We do not have best lineup, SMC won't lend us players.

Also, when you guys lose by a "single digit" you will treat it like a win. Like how you all lose to Argentina and Croatia but you all are so proud of it like as if you have beaten them LOL. Who cares if you are close for 3 quarters? A loss is a loss.

Please calm down, no other country comes close to the philippines when it comes to excuses

Regierr, that's what you get for being a condescending dumbass.

@bballcrazy - pardon the dude. He must be looking for a way to vent his frustrations or something

You know, those excuses are valid. Why? Because it improves our chances of winning greatly but it doesn't guarantee a win. For your team, it doesn't matter. You play with a depleted lineup or not, you still will lose. Big difference.

And why shouldn't we be happy with our close losses to the Euro teams? We had a chance. We showed that with the right preparation, we could possibly snatch a win against the top Euro teams. And that's something that we hope might happen again. So is there anything wrong with that?


@kaiziken_pinas Don't resort to calling people names here. It doesn't make you sound better than the other individual. And there's nothing condescending with what I said. It's the truth about Singapore's national team.

That is the most hilarious thing I've ever read. If that is your mentality then we might as well do away with all basketball tournaments and just hand team USA the gold medal every time since 99% of the time no one can beat them. Why host the world championships and continental championships for? Philippines, China, Korea will also have nil chances against a full USA squad. Why even have this forum discussing about Rio 2016 or that gilas might have a chance to play against USA? Just give USA the gold.

I'm actually not aiming at any other Philippine posters, just him in particular. This is a basketball forum yet i'm not allowed to mention my country's roster, what a joke!
Was he frustrated at the Palestine win? Well, I can understand that because you guys had the game for almost all 4 quarters.
