We had our chance to set a direction with Tab heading the Gilas program, but SBP doesn't like it for some reason, so here we are. -
Yeah, he's just a scapegoat for SBP's poor handling of the program since they removed Tab. Yeah, we scored wins against Lebanon and Jordan, but this team doesn't have a direction.Originally posted by TheRodster21 View PostComment

And we'd have a set defensive identity by now. We could rotate well under Tab and defend without fouling. Not that physical yet, but his teams play with effort.Originally posted by Rds View Post

Gilas Army want Chooks, MVP (the man himself, not his underlings i.e. Panlilio and Vargas), and (wait for it.....) Delta Pineda to take over the NT program: https://twitter.com/gilasarmy/status...H0aGTHrfA&s=19
Furthermore, they want the Smart Gilas program revived in order to lessen the reliance on the PBA: https://twitter.com/gilasarmy/status...tw8MhiDWQ&s=19
I'd rather have an NT camp in longer window breaks and before World Cups. If many of the best Gilas players aren't in the PBA, we can invite them there and have a long training session to get chemistry.
Honestly, I feel Chooks are a good option at this point, at least better than SMC and Panlilio, Vargas and Co. They helped out with Kai, and are sending 3x3 teams to FIBA events. Delta, well...Comment

If only Mike Philipps is FIBA-eligible right now, he's really the taller version of Mark Pingris. This means a better version of Pingris. At 21 yrs old, we already have a glimpse of his potential as a role player. Philipps exhibits tenacity, motor & work ethic that Pingris also demonstrated during his stint with Gilas.
Well, I hope Philipps gets an exception from FIBA in 2 to 3 years time."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 IVComment

I like. MIKE'S mentality and attitude, he really plays hard , and if you notice even despite the altercations he's actually a peace maker and in control..exemplary behavior.. body language says alot , you can see he really has no issues with his limited role and just does his job. Great teamate to have for Gilas. We don't have a Pingris like playerOriginally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
even if none of my business, I going to ensure ill do what I can to lobby with both the SBP and FIBA to pursue exemption for Mike, no harm trying , even if I look like a fool minding other people's businessComment

Mike is indeed a taller version of Pingris, and becoz he's taller than Pingris by about 3 inches, Mike is expected to be better than Pingris.Originally posted by DAdmiral View Post
Mike's athleticism, motor, & physical strength & toughness is similar to Pingris. And just like Pingris, Mike's skills are also limited.
In case Mike gets an exemption in 2 to 3 yrs time, I see a solid rotation of Kai, Edu, Malonzo, Tamayo, Baltazar & Mike Philipps at the 5 & 4 spots."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.

I think developing a respectable shooting from medium range is doable since he is still young.Originally posted by sroth3839 View Post"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.

Honestly, I don't have much to look forward to apart from the exodus to Japan and SoKor. Maybe UP, but even they have their issues. The NT program's outlook is not looking good, even from the youth team standpoint, especially with the looming SMC takeover.Originally posted by Rastas View Post
It's gonna take a major management shakeup for the outlook in Philippine basketball to get brighter again.
It's honestly more enjoyable to watch the women's football team. At least they have a clear identity and direction, and many players are playing abroad. Development, management, and coaching is good too. Sucks that they got booted out of the SEA Games on goal difference.Comment

Pingris and Espino should mentor Phillips defense and rebounding. Mon Fernandez for skills.sigpicComment

And Tab's teams defend better. More systematic rotation, and more effort on defense. And his small ball is a better version of Pinoy small ball, with 6'4" guards like Dwight the only guards manning the 3. Otherwise, he has a big wing like Navarro and even a big versatile 4 like Tamayo and Baltazar. Just add physicality and some shot creation, and we have a perfect Pinoy-style team.Originally posted by live_evil View Post
Fucking SBP morons. Removing Tab really was stupid. At least we had some semblance of direction. Tab and Chot already have a good relationship.

My proposed changes to FIBA eligibility
Naturalized player : Remain as 1 per tournament with passport, must establish 3 years residency and start residency at 25 yrs old. Rationale: You want NP to contribute at his prime to level of domestic competition (no hugot NBA mercenaries)
11 local none NP roster spots per team.
U16 rule remains , but with an exception for those with family heritage to the country. Definition criteria for heritage: A great grand parent or earlier parent generation of player must have lived in selected country for 10 years as a minor (before 18) and player must secure passport before 21st Birthday .
*Note Clarkson will pass with propose change
* maybe limit # of exceptions to 5 per team
* maybe limit heritage to parent generation , with passport as a minor in lieu of residency as a minorLast edited by DAdmiral; 05-13-2023, 10:26 PM.Comment
