This booing thing may considered as a low level antic and at the same time it is also an effective way of protesting without invoking any physical confrontation to a particular person or people whom you dislike. Now if these booing thing on CCR, Panlilio, Vargas and MVP will be effective enough to somehow bring some senses on the Oligarch? It seems impossible considering that those old dudes are the trust guy of the Oligarch therefore the untouchables. As for Comm Noli, I think he is the right guy for the job but if ever he tried some drastic move against the current leadership at SBP just to make some statement, Man oh Man !! !! !! That will be a tall order…messing up with the Lannisters may end up anyone’s head on the spikes.

Honestly, I strongly support the booing of fans on Chot Reyes last Monday night as it sent a strong message to everyone including FIBA that majority of Pinoy basketball fans dislike Chot Reyes & are disappointed at how SBP is running Phi basketball. I think it further adds to the already heavy pressure that Chot & SBP top brass have been carrying on their backs for quite a time. I say the booing that the fans did, may be in poor taste as some see it, but maybe that is what we need to bring the changes we want.
So pressure pa more."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV

Guys, do U think AJ Edu could play good minutes at the 4 spot? Are Edu's laterals & quickness good enough for him to defend the 3-pt shooting stretch-4's of Lebanon, Korea, Japan?
I'm excited about the idea of having a 6-foot-10 agile & atletic big guy who can play both the 4 & 5 spot with ease."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

Originally posted by robert0326Even with his latest Toledo's scrimmage against Puerto Rico ball clubs eh his laterals and quickness still there, maybe a little bit of rustiness but he will be fine as long he will keep healthy throughout his current US NCAA season... I don't care what will be his output for this season, I want him to be healthy next year... That's It.... We all know how he can capable to be when he wears Gilas jersey....

I see Edu's length & athleticism are going to bother the shots & moves of opposing teams' "fours".
With Edu, Malonzo, Oftana, Dwight Ramos, Thirdy & Clarkson possibly making the World Cup roster, we could have the most athletic Philippine basketball team ever assembled."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostMaybe Edu isn't as good as Kai in offense, but defensively I think Edu is as good or even better than Kai. From what I saw some 4 years ago, Edu is a good shot blocker & rim protector. That is why I want to see how good Edu is as a perimeter defender. If he can defend those stretch-4's of say Korea, Lebanon, Japan, China. Does he have the mobility & laterals to do it?

I think there's no question that Edu is badly needed,specially if JF will be the other center and with a either Balti or Japeth as his backup,they should be fine.
