Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. V

[reamily]

damn, we're stuck with Chot until the WC, I guess we either boycott all the games or attend the games with placards/traps/banners protesting against Chot's decision. Or we could all wear black while attending games to mourn for the death of RP Basketball at the hands of Chot and SBP/ Grabe, chot is a typical politician, shameless and kapit tuko

Huwag naman.. he si afterall a kakam... na sterotype sila which is unfair..

For now as a fan the guy was desperate to be included in the history book as the coach for 2023 because the dude has all the backers as his wall.

My idol Rafa wins another Grandslam despite those nagging foot injury.

PH basketball is already messed up coz of SBP's incompetence. So if some of guys are hoping again that Gilas to lose big time again for wake-up call reasons, it's now useless as our basketball is going nowhere with this kind of federation putting a clown coach at helm.

If that's the case then we can only keep players in the national team while they are in their early 20's. Pagdating nila ng mga 23 or 24 yrs old, they will be lured to turn pro. The thing is, players who are 23 or 24 are not yet on their peak. A player usually reaches his peak at 27 or 28 yrs of age.

How old are Thirdy & Dwight Ramos when they played in the B-league? Di ba parang 23 yrs old pa lang sila noon? Its obvious that they have not yet reach their peak.

Gilas would be on a disadvantage if our players are just in their early 20's while yung mga national players ng ibang countries are in their late 20's & early 30's. Nasa peak na yung mga kalaban natin while tayo bagito pa lang at kulang sa experience.

Yes always a possibility to leave for the pros. But if we get them like 19 to 25 then they can go to pros. What is important is the system and chemistry familiarity will be built during does times. So if ever we will have one month prep time for FIBA windows, it a much better integration than the current hugot PBA/NCAA/UAAP. For major tournaments hopefully 2 to 3 months prep time. Again trying to solve the chemistry and familiarity issues.

Vucinic says Tab Baldwin asked him to help the Gilas Pilipinas program: It was a great opportunity to be involved in the World Cup again.

Vucinic: It's exciting to work with SBP to prepare Gilas for next year's World Cup.

Vucinic says the current Gilas program needs consistency in terms of players, adds the availability of personnel is a problem.

Vucinic says Gilas won't have PBA players in the third window of the FIBA World Cup qualifiers and FIBA Asia Cup.

Vucinic on collegiate stars like Justine Baltazar and James Spencer begging off from the national team: All the players have circumstances around them. We're hoping they'll be part of the program in the future.

Vucinic says Gilas has started training for the third window of the FIBA World Cup qualifiers: Next week, we're going to South Korea to play in preparation games.

Yes. First is we find a system that is appropriate for our players and that can be competitive internationally. Lets say Tabs system. Then we have to be consistent. For the next 10 years that ayatem should be the base for our national team. This way guys who played for this system will just need a refresher any time they are called up. All national teams do this I guess. Ginobili played for the NBA but he fit in seamlessly with the Argentinean national team. No need to maintain a permanent national team.

But aside from the system it is important that the main guys are exposed to high level competition. A guy like Junemar should have moved to an international league a long time ago. That way he is already used to defending international players.

i believe that negotiations between LG Sakers and SJ Belangel will be finalized in their South Korea trip.

Junemar was offered assistance to play in the summer league but decline. Hope new breeds of players like Balti will be able to do so. But as we saw, he requested his family to join him. Dont know how many other leagues will be able to do that. Hopefully, not only B. League as I really don't see a significant improvements in skills if our players go there.

Well look at our players. Who are their defenders. Not the imports but locals who are same height as ours, Kobe case alot more smaller. And again Japan lose to China big time. So what happen to not being intimidated by tall players. Just watch Japan and China games.

It's not just the men assigned to our players, e. It also tests their shooting when one of those lengthy imports rotates onto them. And when they're driving, they might meet a taller, more athletic, and/or longer import at the rim when they do get past their man.

Length, athleticism, and height is a factor not just in man, but also in team defense and rotations.

And for that system to be the base, like I repeatedly say, we have to teach that system to the coaches and players starting from the youth level.

This is where SBP comes in. I hope Nenad is successful with the Tab plays. It is hard to evangelize a system when every coach brings his system and essentially starts from scratch. In Nenads interview he was noncommittal sbout the system. He said Chot is still the main coach that they will use a system that is also good for the young players development. I hope Nenads judgement steers him away from Chots headless chicken basketball.

[JAMSKIE]

does it really matter where the players are from if they dont play together for an extended period of time? who played in feb window who played at the SEA games? are they playing for the korean tuneup and next window? are they playing in asian cup?
SBP will keep shuffling players. and it looks like theyll shuffle coaching too. are we that confident that we have a solid cohesive team by next year?

That's what they call "chop suey" bro.

Come to think of it, who have coached Gilas in the last 2 years?
We went from coach Mike Dickel (remember Dickel coached Gilas in the 1st window of the FIBA Asia Cup qualifiers in February 2020), to coach Jong Uichico, to coach Tab, to Choke Reyes, coach Nenad Vucinic & then Choke Reyes again.

Coach pa lang yun!!! I have yet to mention the Gilas players.

Chop suey mentality

Chot's pride will drag us all down the toilet.hay

Chot's pride & SBP's incompetence.
