Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. V

[Dotch]

With Dave Ildefonso out, they should add Kobe Paras now.

and Ricci and Kemark were part of pool before, why go with only 10?

[jasper222]

Nah!!!! Kai has personal dream... As i said, he is more important in Gilas program rather than others, even coach Tab...

It's sad that Kai's image will be milked by the SBP for years to come.

Remember what happened to Yao Ming? No breaks in basketball from the NBA to the Olympics. Cut his career short on what could have been. I wish this won't happen to Kai but as it goes, if Kai can have the cojones to defy Ignite (which tbf helped him out a lot, they destroyed his jumper) then Kai "can" (because we don't know how much of Kai's decision to play for the country is influenced by $$$utang na loob$$$) play for Gilas indefinitely.

[mathematicianrcg]

Then ask him to sacrifice for the nation,stop his personal dreams that could take him out of SBP.

Lmao. As if we are important people to be listened too.

But anyway, I think Kai will both play in nba and for gilas naman. No need to choose.

Like Hachimura is doing now.

But ofc, Kai will be unavailable in some tournaments.

[DAdmiral]

Hmm.. hoping and praying we pull something off with a Kai on the 30th... as they say we won't know unless we try.

Kobe is busy boning someone's daughter though

[yogaflame]

Im praying for ange for full recovery and quick. But i have a strange suggestion. If Blatche is not in good shape, why dont we pick Douhit, even if he is at 40 he is still active and well conditioned.

the future of Ina Raymundo's daughter is built like a tank. Hahaha

If true, oh my goodness. It makes me a little nervous. SMC have a lot to prove in my eyes.

1. Can they focus on developing players for the international game?
2. Are they willing to hire foreign coaches bar Tim Cone? To aid our local coaches on how to perform internationally?
3. Are they willing to bet on a long-term program for Gilas, starting from the youth program up?
4. Are they willing to adjust tactically for the international game?

I'm not in favor of SMC , they are more archaic and protectionism minded when it comes to international basketball and they hate foreign coach for national team and don't like contructive criticism just like what happened to Coach Tab when he was lambasted by Chua. SMC coaches and staffs systems works well in PBA setting but not on FIBA games which is more complicated. We will be back to dark age of basketball of its SMC. SMC does not have good credentials in fiba games lately, all teams handled smc in the past are not succesful on fiba competition except for NCC. Let it just be a non SMC or mvp team to handle the gilas for a change. Maybe chooks to go or Robinson or SM.

Wait Kobe and Erika Rae, together? We know that Kobe can palm a basketball, but he is still kapos-palad wink wink

[Dotch]

Cabaggie has built a vast network in the US that can supply fil-ams (boys and girls) to universities, and not just in basketball. Surely, he and LH will have some sort of relationship when it comes to scouting pinoy talents abroad

Cabagnot is more affiliated with UP than UST so far, but yeah, maybe he can supply Boss Al with Fil-Ams as well.

The incoming NBTC Global Games is the best opportunity to scout some prospects moving forward.
