I think its safe for Josh to rest his main guns. Less than 24 hours before we face Japan.

Korea seemed they like their chances if they finished 3rd in their group, which they did. Jordan finished second and will face the Aussies in the QF. PHL bracket, on paper, is easier than Jordan's. PHL will face Japan in the QF.Originally posted by zairex View Post

Congrats for the win, first time to win vs Korea in U-16 competition. 5 boys scored in double figures, and team registered 26 assists. Very Un-Reyes like. Good job, Josh's assistants. LOL
Good luck vs JapanComment

PHL had 23 offensive rebounds, while Korea grabbed 22 defensive rebounds. Comment

The boys are playing better D by the day. Saw that spark in the Kazakhstan game and we saw it again last night. I think if we harness that D we have shown we can play, Japan is beatable.Comment

A rather unusual pinoy youth team. It can do 3-point bombing, and has decent defense. But u16 kids balling can never be comparable to men's balling. Our team performs well for its size. It will be sorely tested against a much bigger team like australia, or even new zealand. Against those two physically better teams, we can find out whether the coach is not just for show. The last big team we had, the edu-sotto group was still a more competitive team. Edu of course had his legs down him.
I dont think that the japanese team can beat ours. They are too small. Our boys are quicker on defense too. With consistent play like the one shown against korea, this team is plus 10-20 against our nt.Last edited by ccharmed; 09-21-2023, 11:19 PM.Comment

Thank U coach Josh for proving me wrong last night.
Please prove me wrong once again tonight. I'll be very very happy to be proven wrong.Last edited by JAMSKIE; 09-21-2023, 11:01 PM."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.

Jordan's route seem easier than that of Pinoys as Jordan only has Malaysia to beat in the qualification to the quarterfinals (though the game vs. Malaysia was close). But Jordan is facing mighty Australia in the quarterfinals in which it has almost zero chance of winning.
I think it's obvious Korea deliberately loss its game vs. Jordan thinking that it has a good chance of beating the Phi in the qualification to the quarterfinals thus setting up a lighter quarterfinal match up with Japan instead of mighty Australia.
But such gamble backfired."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.

Congratulations to Philippines U16 team for dominant win 95-71. They were more talented and better athleticism. If there is consolation, our players can learn from Philippine better guards in the game tape to help them improve.

We had problems with your full court press. I think our guards learned more from your guards.

Thank you but our pressure defense never really mattered in the game. What I like in Philippine U16 team is their ability to play no position basketball and the guards crash boards. It will be good if Edi Daniel and the rest of our players study the game carefully.Comment

Problem with running a full court press non-stop: your players get burned out.Originally posted by hmbopbaduwap View Post
