Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. V

[Rds]

I think we need better bigs. To me Balti can help at PF.

[zairex]

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.

Why you say young. This is their NT. Some of them played in qualifiers

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

He is more forward than guard but at least can play pg, I mean thirdy is the same way yet were the only able to create anything, Kiefer is probably the best pg on this team but can generate anything because of his size and athleticism he isn’t a threat to shoot

[JOI2dWorld]

i think with a fit brownlee they could've won the game as he is at his usual cramping self after a long rest,

I dont really know. But from the unclear video some looked like early 20s. What are the ages of these guys? To me some are still far from their prime while many of ours are prime or past prime.

I thought B. League will hone them against tall players. What happen to that notion?

[Rds]

It seems to me Tabs Gilas could easily defeat this team.

Agree. Played some PG for Tab. I think good enough to initiate offense but might not be used to groundbound Junemar clogging the lane.

CTAb actually lost to Estonia last 2015. Also by 10 pts. This is just friendly. Fun fact when CTab used his swing offense Estonia had a big lead them he change the offense to DDO and we got back in the game. Thats why he used DDO in Fiba Asia 2015.

This is more like their U21-U23 Team, the one that has beaten Slovenia would crush us by at least 40 Lol

From the looks of it, our Team is out of shape and we should only consider Kief (who had 2 threes), Ramos, Malonzo and Perez who could make the final 12 as everyone else looked slow and old esp JF & Jap. JB is serviceable but we need a JC to break down those defenses. If only Kouame could play as a local (sigh) plus BGR, M.Philipps, Amos and a Chris Koon. Well maybe after 2-4 years..

I research had the wrong line up eaelier.. this is U25 team of estonia. This is just friendlies. Hope we build more chemistry as we had too many turn overs.

Thats what we thought last 2014, we will get massacred by our opponents. Thankful didn't happen.

Kiefer didnt look good at the end of the 4th. Newsome looked steady to me. But yes at this point seems to be an unwilling shooter.

Chot really is really used to a super scorer. This team won’t win without a healthy Brownlee or a JC.
