You're most likely right bro, coach Tim might not field Malonzo in the 2nd window even if he's 100% healed from his injury. I think it would take a while before Malonzo gets back to his old competitive form as he was sidelined due to injury for quite a while. Malonzo might be rusty if he plays in the 2nd window"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.

This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV -
Malonzo, amos and oftana are not ready against new zealand. As long as brownlee, kai, aj, fajardo, aguilar, ramos and tamayo are in working condition, forwards and centers of nz will definitely be neutralized. That ends the kiwi's game plans.
Pinoy guard play of thompson and quiambao is what determines if the pinoy team slaughters the kiwis by more than 30 points. As the kiwis did to our weak teams in earlier years.
Although those 9 are more than good enough beyond fiba asian games, cone, in my opinion, is still foolish in not including at least two dedicated 3point specialists. It is impossible to defeat the top 5 world teams without proven excellent snipers. With aging bigs, at least one of qmb or phillips, will also come in handy.Comment

Will DLSU even allow Quiambao to play. Wont it be playoffs by then?Originally posted by ccharmed View PostComment

You are right. Actually, i'm just looking beyond the nz and hk game already. With kq unavailable, the more cone must get at least two very good reliable snipers. Cone's game plan can still be easily read, and defeated by highly athletic teams. Reliable 3point rampage can still shoot down the best athletic teams. Ask steph about that.Originally posted by Sikatrix View Post
The big edge of the pinoys will emerge from quality players like kai who can defend and score at will inside the paint. You need at least two kais. And balanced by two deadly snipers who can shoot and defend at will beyond the arc. Why? Because hostile courts, not friendly home courts, are the rule.Comment

Btw, cone is a very good coach by philippine standards. By top ten world nt standards, well... Istill have to see him guide pinoy nt teams to many wins against top 20 teams. It is a case similar to that of coach seyer. He can top pba and asean teams, but definitely not even reliable against top asian nts.Comment

even if ros and tnt reached 7 games it will still be the same because both semi-finals game were played at the same date, not alternately as the finals did not even start after the last semi finals match last sunday, i think that adjustment that the pba made was to play on november 1 in which most of the time the league is on a break, game 7 or not finals was supposed to start on october 27, but without the game on november 1, it's impossible for the conference to end in november 10, best case scenario is finals don't reach 7 gamesOriginally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

If I'm to choose between RJ Abarrientos & SJ Belangel for Gilas, I'll choose the latter. Scoring wise, RJ is better but on the defensive end, SJ Belangel is the better one. Also, iba yung gulang ni SJ sa game eh. He had displayed that as early as 3 years ago when he played (together with RJ) for Gilas under coach Tab Baldwin."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.

Realistically speaking, RJ will probably get selected because he already knows CTC’s system. At the Asian level, RJ is an okay selection but worlds? I’d rather have Winston, Stockton (if he gets exemption), or BRP Jr back.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

Yeah, agree. In Asian level basketball, point guards below 6 feet like RJ or SJ would be ok. But in the world level, I feel guys like Schonny Winston or Stockton (if he gets the FIBA exemption) should the the type of point guards that would be serviceable for Gilas.Originally posted by sroth3839 View Post
Japan's No. 1 point guard Yuki Kawamura may only be 5-foot-8/5-foot-9, but he's just too good, too skilled, too quick that he's effective even in the world level."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 thought SJ is around 6'1?Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostThe message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 5 characters.Comment

More like he's only around 5-foot-11. Iskati Thompson or Robert Bolick is taller than Belangel. I think both Iskati & Bolick are around 6-foot-1.Originally posted by digitalsuperman 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.

Scottie might be 5’11 or 6’0 but seems to have a good wingspan and pretty high two feet leaper.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

Based on our Latest Pool
Seems like we will stick with
Kai, AJ, Junmar, Japeth Rotation at the Center Spot.
Well, Brownlee can play small ball 4 too.
As much as some hate Junmar and Japeth in International Competition. They are still the best option bigs from Pba.
Anyways, hope Kai and AJ will be fully healthy next window against Hong Kong and New Zealand.Comment

He didn't have the personnel.Originally posted by IPC View Post
Back then Rdo and Ping are our 4s.
Sometimes went big with Blatche/Young Junmar/Young Japeth
And it's not like we had a local who can effectively play as small ball 4 or small ball 5 like RHJ or Brownlee
