[kerdito]

The most exciting regional tournament is on the doors,Dubai tournament this year is like the previous years. Exciting and on fire with the participation of the best teams around the Arabic regions + Mahram of Iran and Smart Gilas of Philippines!

So far only 9 teams has been registered with the possibility of adding another team !
Riyadi (Lebanon)
Champville (Lebanon)
Al Jalaa (Syria)
Al Wehda (Syria)
Zain (Jordan)
Smart Gilas (Philippines)
UAE NT
Al Nasr (UAE)
Mahram (Iran)

As usual it be broadcasted on the Lebanese Channel "Future TV"!

I heard Al Ittihad Al Sankandari from Egypt would also participate in the tournament so any updates on that?

[talion]

..this is an interesting match
b/w AL RIYADI and SMART GILAS
as CJ GILES will play with his former team,whom he was being cutted
bcoz of attitude problems


hope this will end a good match


watch for this




MABUHAY!!

with our lone import unable to play a lot of minutes due to his supposed back problems, i dont think gilas can handle teams with two to three imports. still, playing with limited import support should be no excuse to lose by blowouts. i'm expecting gilas to give their best in the games especially against mahram iran to honor the hardwork of coach toroman.

I hate u u always wish that lebanese teams don't win any thing!!!
you always hope anyone to win but not lebanese !! why???
by saying that riyadi is not like before !! and basing your comment on the matches you saw in hariri tournament! where riyadi were playing with very weak foreigns !! plus with alot of changes ( 3 new lebanese players and without fadi and ismael for the first time since 5 years) --> no chemistry !! is wrong!~!
Riyadi with CJ Giles and Nate are a very different team and the chemistry is getting better and better!! you will see a team that is good as mahram!! and they will win this tournament!! jalaa have a good profile players but u didn't see what they can do on court yet to say they are good to win this tournament!!!
GOOOOOOOO RIYADI !!!! nshalla we will win!! hope champville play good games also!!!

check out my post and you will see that i Criticized my team " Zain " also , So am not offending Riyadi but it is the Truth that Riyadi can't get better than the Duo Som3a and el Tiger :P

The Best Will Win and @ the End it's a Friendly Tourney and the biggest Test Will be In Asia Champions Cup in May

Gilas have beaten Al-Riyadi last year in Asia, Riyadi had Chris Charles (not a good Center actually and they got him just for the tournament) CJ is a lot better and he has proved that lately in their 2nd match up against Champville (Chris Charles is Champvilles Center in the Lebanese League and he will be playing also in Dubai) Yet Riyadi didn't have Matt Freji last year nor Jean Abdelnour in Asia and of course not Joe Vogel since in Asia for clubs he is considered as an import while he has been playing for the lebanese NT for a long long time now in Asia and both world cups that we participated in!!!!
But all the above mentioned info are not excuses after all Smart Gillas were playing better than Riyadi in the championship and had the upper hand in that game but I guess this year it's Riyadi who's gonna have the upper hand specially with Sampson out.

Plus, fadi and ismael were injured last year!!!:P:P but now we have matt and cj giles and jean ( he won't play in dubai cuz he is injured for 3 weeks :S:S) and don't forget ali mahmoud, omar alturk and nate

maybe the best that smart gilas could wish,.. no mahram and al riaydi... but still must look our to zain and al jalaa....well,.... good luck to all the teams.

[Jalaa_Syria]

Good Luck for Jalaa and Wahda

Wahda is having many problem as I heard yesterday they didn't play well in the league , imports are very very very bad.

Jalaa yesterday they played an average match in the league and still not in form , they need more work , imports are good but not super but local players will help.

I will do my best to broadcast the tournament on stream link
