An admin of AJEF posted a way to purchase tickets for the event. Im promoting this so we could add to their numbers and hopefully purchase the tickets at a discount.

Here is the link and you could just message the AJEF admin.

it should be gilas holding a pocket tournament and that should serve as simulation test for world cup..

Most NTs will only start camp last week of July. Which in a sense they can afford to as systems and programs are in place. While Gilas is essentially trying to establish a system and program in 1 month.

Correct.
That is becoz the of 4 to 5-year cycle in which these teams parade practically same players for that cycle, hence chemistry or cohesion is well established. Take the case of the Jordan national team for instance, players like Amin Abuhawwas, Zaid Abbas, Ahmad Al-Dwairi, Dar Tucker, Freddie Ibrahim, Mohammed Hussein, Sami Bzai, have been playing for Jordan in FIBA & other international tournaments for more than 5 years now. Hindi na isyu yung familiarity & cohesion sa team.

The same could not be said about Gilas. The Gilas team/pool in the 2020-2021 period (under coach Tab Baldwin) isn't the same as the 2023 World Cup-bound Gilas team/pool under coach Chot Reyes. May mga holdovers naman yung current team/pool from the pool/team in 2020-2021, but player changes are rampant. U know what I'm implying, no need to elaborate.

In the country we have a bad tendency to erase everything done by a previous regime regardless if they are actually good. Tabs 2021 team is an example of that. PBA and SBP actually abandoned this team. They hoped by not giving their best players that the team would fail. But when it succeeded they looked for every chance to take over.

After Kouame and Dwight, Balti was the most important player of that team. And yet after one invitation when the guy was on a hiatus prior to going to B league they have not invited him again despite pronouncements from him of wanting to be part of the pool.

I am really curious how the Europe tuneups pan out. But I have a feeling the team still lacks a guy like Balti, can rim protect and switch. Can shoot the mid range, drive or even hit the 3.

Dwight
Edu
Kai
Navarro
Malonzo
Heading
Abando
Tamayo
Scottie (veteran)
Naturalized Player

These guys can be our main core post-WC 2023 till the 2028 Olympics.

Just surround them with 10-12 reseves and we’re good.

Oh, and a better coach.

On cycles, the SBP is doing it wrong because immediately after the World Cup is already FIBA Asia Cup qualifying in November. Korea will be back, Guam at full strength is basically SEA Games-Cambodia, and Mongolia was already at Thailand's level without a naturalized player at that... but it's an entirely different topic in the grand scheme of things.

Will there be a new coach in less than a month after the World Cup? Knowing how incompetent the SBP has been of late, worst case scenario is that Josh Reyes takes over because he has been the most-exposed to FIBA. They don't have a "consultant" like a Mark Dickel, Jong Uichico might be thinking he'll be too old for the job, and Tim Cone has Ginebra to worry about. Jolas might be an option and I won't be mad if he takes over Chot.

in other news, Bruno Mars concert resulted to a traffic jam of more than 3 hrs at nlex to edsa, we dodged a bullet when FIBA nixed the idea of the Phil Arena hosting the knockout stage of the 2023 World Cup


edit: 2 or 3 weeks ago BRP posted on his IG that he will watch the bruno mars concert, probably one of the teasons why he missed the gilas euro trip
