Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. V

Where are the positives? The PBA got a coach they could control like a puppet who will never criticize and say controversial things against our local leagues. In return GILAS got their "full support " again whatever that means.

Lol. Yeah guys haave good points.

Very hard to state good points in this decision.

Lets see

[C2Hamm]

I think Carl, Balti, and Kouame are better options at this point. But Kai may be an option if he can be more efficient in the post. Right now, Kai should ideally fill the Bam role for us, at least on offense. Run the rim, and pass.

And, yes, Chot SHOULD call more plays for bigs than guards. Our bigs are literally our best asset. We'd waste them if the excessive majority of plays are run through our guards. Hay, nako.

Drey was heavily used in DDO to attack from outside. he got it from other sets as well but this was the strength of the DDO. Neither Carl, Balti, Gelo, nor Kai has shown they can consistently do this. JMF was able to do something before by letting him do some 1on1 against his defender. IMO, JMF footwork is vastly superior then any of our young bigs because he focused on this. our young bigs are good cutters who has decent range.

Yeah, June Mar has better footwork. However, Chot doesn't run many plays through the post, nor have I seen him use his bigs much as rim runners. He ran plays through Blatche because Blatche had the ability to attack from the perimeter like a guard.

When I said running plays through our bigs, I meant either in the high or low post or as rim runners, which Chot has to adapt.

inuuto nila mga tao para sabihin nag-resign pero politika naman talaga.

we are being lied to. it was not a resignation, he was removed. due to politics. no inside info is required to read the real situation here.

lol that's the point. There are no positives.

I still can't accept that we've given up on our young guns and Tab for Chot and these players. I can't get excited about players I know have limited potential and possibly are pang PBA lang.

It really hurts for me that this thing happened. I was very happy that we are now stepping up in terms of developing players last year then this happened. As a basketball fan, nakakapanghina.

With all the problems we've had lately honestly this, Kai, and the other young Pinoy imports helps keeps my mind off the negative things. And they had to ruin everything. Now watching those games kinda feel like meaninglessness now knowing they'll probably won't get the called up or be given limited exposure in our NT. It's back to boy drama and his favorite players.

Yeah, this bullshit took all the excitement I had of seeing our national team. I watch because I want to see the young guys grow, which we have the opportunity to do for this series of windows.

Tangina naman. I hope Chot proves our fears wrong, pero 'di ko na alam.

[Stevy]

Hope this ain't lip service.

Reyes: We want to continue working on the younger players, the majority of the players that we identified back in 2018.

Coach Chot said this in an interview

[ja.he]

LMFAO on the interviewer saying there are many that was happy and excited that chot will be the gilas coach again. Plastic.

This is where Filipinos are good at - sugar coating. This is the reason why they got easily hurt when Tab real talked them.

I do think the Gilas cadet bigs are better than the bigs of the past.

[mathematicianrcg]

WAIT.

One Topic Discussed in that video is:

Our Players Availability.

Looks like we are getting trouble on getting the services if our best players playing overseas. And to add, pba and uaap would start too???

Is it true that only 10 players available and present there in Coach Tab's Gilas pool.

This will go back to: Short Preparation.

Throw Back When Coach Chot recommended(?) Kai to Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards

[IPC]

We didn't win any in the OQT. We did surprise Serbia with a challenge but sucked against DomRep. Anyway, Tab as a coach for FIBA tournaments is better than Chot, no question, but it is what it is. Probably, MVP's hand was forced to move since the PBA doesn't want to lend players to a Baldwin coached Gilas. Besides, we're not even spending a penny here, so who are we? Of course, we can complain, but to withdraw support to your NATIONAL TEAM all because you don't like the coach is very childish.

ok it was AQC, not OQT.

we are angry at the coach and do not like him at all because this is the 3rd time that this coach USURPED the position (Toroman 1x, Tab 2x). is this still NATIONAL interest?

also semantics, how can it still be said to be a NATIONAL team when it is of CORPORATE interest rather than what's good for the basketball program of the country? it's rather a club team which is just permitted to place the "Pilipinas" name on the jersey.

You haven't even seen his lineup. Remember, the last time he coached in the world cup, there was plenty of SMC and players from independent teams. It's too early to shoot your gun.

It's not just the SMC and MVP teams. It's also the positions. I mean, majority of the quality FIBA-sized eligible wings we have are not in the PBA. And Chot might resort to 3-guard lineups again. I'm kinda concerned about that. Plus, this should be a development window ideally. But with the UAAP season in coming and the PBA season in full swing, man.

I'm just hoping that Chot learns that he has to tweak his style so that he can succeed internationally. He has to incorporate elements of what Tab left behind.

I will still support our national team. I'm just not that excited anymore after SBP made this change.

I hope in the next window, younger players will be prioritized, because they're the reason that my hopes are up for Gilas. Collegiate season is over by then anyways.

[reamily]

Kaohsiung is the number one team in T1 League. I watch T1 every weekends and I love Brendan Joyce's work in offense and defense there. He knows how to use Brickman and Hu Longmao to the team's advantage.

yup the team of Brickman and hu long mao, taiwan leagues defensive may make our grandfathers score 20 but they have interesting offensive schemes

Actually, T1 League is more physical than I would have thought.
