Fiba World Cup 2023 Philippines

The PBA says that they'll lend more players to the Gilas pool.

At this point, do we really need more PBA players? It seems that almost all the useful PBA players in Japeth, Scottie, Newsome, Perez, Malonzo, Brownlee, and Oftana are in the pool. Marcio's position is too loaded, so he's honestly out. Almazan, Arana, and Troy are the best the PBA could come up with at the bigman position, the one most in need. Sorry, I'd rather take Gagate, Pablo, Balti, and Mason over the PBA bigs, given the PBA bigs' lack of usefulness at the 4 and 5 spots. Bolick and RJ too over any PBA PG not named Scottie.

The help Gilas needs is outside the PBA, whether amateur or overseas, at this point.

I gave trying to make sense of it all. We all know they'll just put PBA players in there and not even invite players they should invite. It's probably going to be the usual proven sucky players

Hopefully the estonia trip will expose our bigs and be able t0 consider replacements by july, we dont need 6'10 and 6'9 centers if they cnat keep in step.. if theres a tall wing who can somehow finish the rim (BGR and Phillips) go on it.. the tough guy big will come later or just do it by committee..

Unfortunately, all of their preparation matches are no live-streaming or any videos, tv links, etc… even the previous games between Estonia, Latvia and Finland have no any videos provided by host, maybe to not scout their plays…

So basically SEA Games 2019 but with Chot. Agreed. Only big difference is much better opposition. I wanna be proven wrong, but how everything turned out since the SBP practically sabotaged Tab's team doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

that’s why instituting a long term system/program is important. Euro and Americas team that has a number of nba players (luka, giannis, jokic, sabonis) who were part of their respective nteams as early as 14-15 yrs old, same with their other teammates, thus chemistry, familiarity, gameplan were already part of their muscle memory/brains and a 1 month training camp will suffice


meanwhile the Philippines seems to always reset its program every 2 yrs, no continuity, no long term system, no chemistry and always cramming

CHOT REYES is our continuity and long-term plan

Just to repeat (NZL 6 preperation games

Japan in Japan twice

In Germany - Canada then either Germany or China

In China - China then Italy.

(if NZ is competitive vs an NBA loaded Canada, i think NZ may be decrnt vs US in 1st game , will see)

BTW in 2019 NZ beat Italy in last tune up gsme a week before the WC

A perimeter defensive 5 of ili, LeAfa , Te Rangi , Delaney, Waardenberg with all 5 csn shoot and step out in perimeter is dangerous.

Sabonis filipino fans are numbered to be around 120 and it's a reach already..

Oowwwssss? But anyway whatever who will play for Lithuania for sure they will bring huge followers there in Manila... You know how passionate Lithuanians are into basketball... Philippines, China, Lebanon, Estonia and Lithuania are handful of countries that basketball is their no.1 sport and have always supporters whatever they go...
