[JOI2dWorld]

the long rebounds from missed 3's is what killing gilas

[JOI2dWorld]

sea games bigs hahaha

too bad they are ineligible, i hope they will get exemption soon

[Joe Yabuki]

its not much but Junemar > Japeth

[JOI2dWorld]

thirdy is playing good but chot decided to bring back perez, ayun lobo ulit sa walo

[TheRodster21]

They are struggling to generate offense against a mid level Euro team and struggling without an intimidating rim protector.

I'm disappointed that we didn't get the win against this youth team, but that's the way the cookie crumbles when half our players can’t shoot.

[TheRodster21]

You know it’s bad when the best option at point are Thirdy and Dwight, this Gilas team obviously isn’t complete and there is still time to develop the team chemistry.

[reamily]

I see some of their mainstays (although bench players above 24 playing)

[zairex]

Even CTab lose to this team with AB on the lineup. Relax its just a friendly

[JOI2dWorld]

the thing that the national team can't replicate from the 2014 team is shooting, none of the next versions of the national team shoots the way that 2014 did

I thought Dwight ia the best guard in Gilas according to some here.

[reamily]

looking on eye test, estonia looks like they cant beat that cambodian team tomorrow will be markannen less finland right?

[TheRodster21]

Probably best big guard available

[zairex]

Forward. He handles has not improved and can't handle full court pressure even in B. League. He has no PG vision.

[Rds]

Newsome - steady but we need more offense
Dwight - decent
Thirdy - had a better game than CJ but we need CJ to be better
CJ - fouls
Kiefer - had one assist and not much else
Abando - good D and some layups but still too small as SF
Japeth - decent on D but no offense
JF - offense is still far from his prime. He cant score against taller guys
Malonzo - good overall but still undersized as PF

Pretty disappointing loss against a young Estonia. This team needs JCs and Kais offense but is vulnerable against a strong center.
