We dont need to beat NZ, would be nice though. Still think NZ is more talented than us but if they dont have a permanent coach then we have a shot. -
We need to beat them because they will be our regular opponents in the FIBA Asia zone.Originally posted by Sikatrix View Post
this is like a confidence booster going forward.
2027 WCQ won't be a walk in the park.
we don’t want to lose our confidence.Comment

Correct bro.Originally posted by sroth3839 View Post
While credit goes to Coach Tim & our Gilas boys for beating China in last year's Asian Games (we actually beat China twice in a row counting that win in the 2023 World Cup), I think it was a game that could have gone either way. Kumbaga eh may halong kunting swerte din yung panalo natin as Justin Brownlee played one of his best games in international competitions. But as they say, a win is a win so we just took that victory in whatever shape or form.
I agree with U bro, let's not get overexcited with those wins over China last year to the point that we would think that Gilas is now better than China or that Philippine basketball has now overtaken Chinese basketball. U bet China would like to bounce back & get back at us as soon as possible. We must be prepared for that."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

We need to beat New Zealand not just because beating them will boost our chances to make it to the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup (and also having a good record in the qualifiers would place us in the better seedings for the tournament proper), but its also a matter pride for Philippine basketball beating NZ. Remember, we haven't beaten New Zealand for a looooooooooooooong time now.Originally posted by Sikatrix 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.

But again, he delivers more than tab Baldwin.. and Tim cone is more valuable option because he is love by anyone in every single basketball community... The more they doubt CTC capabilities, the more CTC delivers...Originally posted by sroth3839 View PostComment

CTC is a qualified coach and is supported by Chua for obvious reasons.Originally posted by Giannis34GOD View Post
There are a fuckton of good coaches that would love to handle our NT but as long as sumasawsaw etong sila Chua, it’s pointless.

As I’ve said before, excluding Australia and NZ, China will continue to be a top contender in Asia because:Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
(1) Their billion plus population is guaranteed to produce 100 players standing 6’7+ every generation.
(2) Their basketball infrastructure is already established.
(3) Strong youth programs
Underestimating China is a foolish mistake. They should never be written off.Comment

Wala na tayo magagawa dun... Al Chua is evil version of Loul Deng as GM... Atleast we are safe under Tim cone... I'm sure CTC will not let us down...Wag lang manggulo si Chua for our national team..Originally posted by sroth3839 View PostComment

No one underestimate China... But what we should remind to ourselves is we should not underestimate every teams.. some of them have good resources in their basketball program today unlike before...they can improve their national team with their huge resources..Originally posted by sroth3839 View PostComment

on a personal note, I would like to beat the Tall Black on any given opportunity
and somehow close the gap as far as "head to head" are concern
our lads was recently beaten by theirs
so hopefully our Seniors will do that "Avenge storyline" on November windowComment

if we can beat Latvia without Edu and Scottie I think there's a pretty good chanceOriginally posted by BJ_Reloaded View PostComment

This I say, if Gilas will have a complete roster in next year's FIBA Asia Cup, with several key players healthy & available - Kai, Brownlee, Dwight, Iskati, Newsome, AJ Edu, Malonzo, Junmar & the team be given at least 1 month of full time training plus a good No. of tune-up games (5 to 6 tune up games), I'm confident we have a good chance to win the gold."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.

an 85 to 90 percent game fit on those two would be fair enough on that particular Nov windowOriginally posted by xenoloxy View Post
for me less expectation for now
I think Mason Amos will again fill-up the slacks on the injured JamieComment
