Fiba World Cup 2023 Philippines

[Giannis34GOD]

The real ranking based on their current strength that will parade next week will be this:

1. USA
2. Spain
3. France
4. Germany
5. Canada
6. Australia
7. Slovenia
8. Italy
9. DR
10. Brazil
11. Serbia
12. Lithuania
13. Finland
14. Montenegro
15. Greece
16. Georgia
17. Latvia
18. Puerto Rico
19. South Sudan
20. China
21. New Zealand
22. Philippines
23. Jordan
24. Japan
25. Mexico
26. Ivory Coast
27. Iran
28. Venezuela
29. Egypt
30. Lebanon
31. Angola
32. Cape Verde


I think this is the real rankings/ strength and how they fare in their tune up games of the teams will play for fiba World Cup (if someone disagrees then I accept that)…

I can be bias that I will put Philippines above New Zealand and China but not yet… depending how they will fare in their final 3 tune up games… but for sure this is the real rankings of those participating teams next week…

But dominicans beat argentinians at their own home court on the world cup clinching game

That’s why I can’t tell that PHL can upset DR… they beat full strength Argentina last February and plus Towns… I think they can beat Italy too… for me, I would rather focus beating Italy (even in a little chance).. real talk here, I don’t see PHL can beat DR (I hope that I’m wrong) plus Towns can give DR another dimension that even European teams will be hard time to defeat DR…

Low ranked Jordan can upset NZ , yet NZ has no chance to upset Greece (who's only slighty.ahead )

this is nonsense!

, it happens in almost every preperation stage every world cup. Understand accurate context. Granted NZ obviously isn't at rating of Canada ( a medal contender), the power rankings a fairly good indicator,

Greece , NZ , China Mexico are all bunched up in.the Middle pack ( 15 to 19) there is reason for this assessment. No one is saying these teams are medal contenders , but it's stupid to put them at the level of Jordan ( ranked lowly over 25 plus ) why ? Hello if you haven't yet know, Jordan does not do well in WC , not even top Asian teams by reputation and record do well.

Now as to NZL loss to China , didnt those who rank watch the game ? Of course they did , so with Canada blpw out, so why did they still rank NZ at 17 in. Power rankings? The trained eye , knows .

In my post while obviously there are concerns wiith NZ , there Turn over 21 a game are all fixable , thee especially when they haven't been playing with their PG Ili. , they've .loss a 10 pt lead to China in the 4th , mainly cause of lack of execution. Due to NO experience PG yet ( Webster bros are out and Ili hasn't played (only 10 mins total).
while Cameron and Izayah have been good , they are rookies to WC , so taking time to integrate.
basically it's not that NZ is not trying, but there.lack of familiarity show in turn overs and control. With Ili expected to play and lead things in WC these self infected unforced turn over are all fixable.

See how none sensiical your jumping into conclusions are . The people who rank, know their stuff. . And have watched these tune up games , they know not to exaggerate and over react unlike you. .

C'mon now , what's this wiith Jordan and previously hyping exaggeration of Saudi Arabia, this looks too obvious, your colours Sandlki aka Robert are too obvious.

arguing with sadik is like arguing to a wall the guy is a walking nonsense, like i said in pex he was like this so everyone there even his co tnt fans do not like him, that is why he came here, me i am just waiting for the actual tournament and see how its plays out, this guy likes to hype but always being proven wrong, in pex he hype dickel to the point of sucking his dick and balls but who was able to bring tnt a championship it was Chot and later on Jolas

not about DR as a whole but i think there's a way to slow down KAT individually: put junemar on him. KAT doesn't do too well against strong post players. downside is that DR guards will attack fajardo relentlessly on the other end

But KAT has shooting range… he’s the best shooting big man in nba today and he will put Junmar on clinic by just shooting over him… KAT is 7 feet while JMF is 6’10, he can shoot over him anytime… and Junmar’s Waterloo is defending perimeter… that’s bad idea TBH….

Who are you prentending? Are you having problem on that guy or are you taking about me? What is your point having angry with that guy (or me as you want to pretend with)? What do you want to prove?

Did the Gilas vs Ivory Coast tuneup push through? I know it’s closed door but usually there are news tidbits from twitter.

Its on friday sir, hopefully some come by ultra (since capitol commons is just across the street) and see if they can accomodate walkovers (which is very hard nowadays as some use it for their own vlogs)

good point. i was just thinking more along these lines:

it's a 4-year old video but KAT is still soft like that . prolly the softest player in the DR team. maybe rough him up a bit belga-style, although junmar is not a dirty player

Thanks bro. No harm in trying but they made it closed door for a reason. You might need to bribe someone. Lol

And another thing, the 12 team Olympic basketball event is not applicable right now… it limits the excitement of international basketball… maybe some people says it is ok since it will be best of the best will compete… but it is true? In 2021 Olympics, many national teams didn’t qualify despite that they are strong team due to fewer teams can participate… no Serbia, no Greece, no Canada, no Lithuania, etc… and teams like Germany, Czech Republic and Italy qualifies that we didn’t expect to be there.. FIBA wants the event to be atleast 16 teams but IOC rejects it because it will unfair for other sports event not being on spotlight… maybe before 12 teams is applicable since only 12-15 teams are competitive before… but not in this era that even Bahamas is also a threat to international basketball event…

And it’s not a grind like the World Cup in football. I’m not saying USA wouldn’t still win their golds regardless of a change, but if consistent threats like Serbia, Canada, and Greece make it consistently they could’ve made a difference in tiring out those2016-2020 USA teams.

they literally faced easy completion like Nigeria and UK lol in the group stage. Also the thing about the WC compared to the Olympics is WC at least in football is a month grind. You think about Brazil or Germany should win every tournament but they don’t and yes talent is more spread out, but the fatigue and grind of the tournament probably plays a part.

that’s why if FIBA gets Olympics to be under-23, they should extend the WC to at least 3-4 weeks to make the tournament a hard grind as well.

It’s possible since the tournament are 32 teams… but the current format is already ok (maybe no more classification matches) maybe 3 week event is enough…

Well, KAT is a legit NBA player… the opponents he will face next week are NBA scrubs or just a local legends in their respective countries… Patty Mills become steph curry in FIBA rules, same as Schroeder… Kelly Olynk became Pau Gasol in FIBA setting, Haddadi became Shaq, etc… these are level of talents that we have to realize that Making it to the NBA is already hard to achieve… once you reach the NBA, you almost already better than most of basketball hoopers worldwide…

I’m being afraid that SBP might play politics here and include almost all of PBA players, just to say they are still the cream of the crop in basketball landscape in the Philippines… I think that SBP will let sure of having their representatives from MVP teams (Newsome and one of Oftana or Pogoy) and biggest thing will be including one of ravena bros in the final line up… don’t be surprise if abando and parks will be cut because they are not pba players… I still remember the 2016 OQT that they pick Reyes over Abueva in final roster… and in 2019 where Coach Yeng Guiao pick Kiefer despite that he was out of shape for 18 months due to suspension… SBP are notorious for that…
