Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. V

[IPC]

2022 is a crucial year.

Will MVP step down?

Will SMC takeover?

Will Coach Tab be fired?

Will Pba players dominate the Gilas Pool?

God, I do hope the guys that take over after MVP will continue the emphasis on development, even after this current Gilas team has developed to their fullest potential, so we don't have to rebuild the squad after this generation gets up in age.

Is Go still an essential part of the system? He looked terrible yesterday. Ange is basically an upgraded Go who also stretch the floor. We also have a younger Chiu who has a higher ceiling. Kai, Tamayo, Balti can play alongside Kouame.

I have the same thoughts. Go will be expendable in the future, as there are other bigs with higher ceiling, like the ones you mentioned.

I'm hoping we can upgrade all our positions. Everybody should be replaceable. Like the Fil-foreign kids replacing our lackluster guards and providing more depth at the wings

I wish Go play for Columbia Dyip last season. I think not playing organize ball for quite some time really affected his game. I hope the PBA Board let him play in the PBA this season.

Based on that news artie by Spin, I don't see anything libelous on what "Gilas Pilipinas" Facebook account had said (Kung bakit naman kasi hindi na qoute ng Spin yung igsaktong sinabi ng "Gilas Pilipinas" Facebook account)

Its just purely commentary.

Well whatever. The thing is, hindi bat tama naman ang sinabi ang sinabi ng Gilas Pilipinas FB account? those who understand what's going on in Phi basketball & have the rationale think that Gilas pililipinas fb account is spot on.

I agree with the post, and though I doubt it, I really hope this serves as a wake-up call to the PBA para hindi gipitin ang national team. Sorry for the language, pero punyemas talaga.

I also agree that there's no libel. The closest case might be moral damages, but a court will most likely dismiss it on the ground that only natural persons (as in tao talaga, not a corporation) can claim moral damages.

It is too early to identify players for 2023. You can just imagine how badly the 23 for 2023 listing miserably fails.

The main positive shown in window3 was systemic defense. On offense, the results are not that good. Around 9 of the current batch are reliable enough against consistent asian toughies like china, sk and japan. Against much bigger and more talented australia, about 7 would put up decent performance. Versus top ten nations seen in olympics and world championships -- where size, athleticism and skills are world-class in at least 4 positions every game -- around 5 of the present batchwont be embarrassing.

Tab's system, like any other, will miserably fail if players that are good only for lower asian battles are still used in world-class levels. I hope that tab does not allow hometown wins get into his head and pride. For a month's continuous practice, at least five other big and talented players can turbocharge gilas performance in hostile or neutral playing grounds.

Unlike past gilas teams, a core of five cohesively playing tough and talented players are enough.

You know, looking back, I have always wondered why the PBA even before the disasters of 2017 and 2019 has stopped inviting our National Team to their reinforced conferences and has this particular disdain for lending their best players to the NT.

Then I remembered that back in the Gilas 1 days a lot of PBA teams were crippled because so many of the top players were on NT duties. PBA-only fans stopped watching the games because their favorite players were not on their favorite teams. Then some folks were like Mark Caguioa (IIRC) didn't deserve to win MVP because a lot of the best players were not playing in the league due to NT duties.

Then I thought, could it be that the PBA didn't want something like that to happen again? However, they hoarded the best players from the NT since we failed to qualify for the 2016 Olympics, and yet nobody was still watching the games even before the pandemic unless Ginebra or any SMC team was playing.

Why is the PBA like this? They freely lent players to the NT and nobody was watching the games unless their favorite players are playing. Now they hoarded players from the NT and yet nobody still watches the games unless Ginebra is playing. Is the PBA really left behind in the stone age?

Go is still vital to the program, as long as tab is the coach. He will always be the main back up center/situational center of gilas. I agree he needs more game reps in order to grow. With sea games cancelled this year, after fiba asia we don't have any other tournaments to go right? I hope they do play for their respective pba teams

To put it in simple terms: the PBA only cares about making profit.

They do whatever that brings in revenue.

This is why if the NBL could be convince if they do take some of the boys that they will be released if called and that the NBL would be rewarded thru a partnership sponsor.
