    POT 1: Australia, Japan, NZL, Iran
    POT 2: Lebanon, China, Philippines, Jordan
    POT 3: Korea, KSA, Syria, either Bahrain (if qualified), Taiwan (if qualified and Bahrain didn't qualified) or India (if Bahrain and Taiwan didn't qualified both)
    POT 4: Qatar and whoever qualified in FQT mid March (either Taiwan, Guam, Thailand, India, Iraq)


    If KSA put themselves in POT 1 due to privilege as host, it will be:

    POT 1: KSA, Australia, Japan, NZL
    POT 2: Iran, Lebanon, China, Philippines
    POT 3: Jordan, Korea, Syria and either Bahrain, Taiwan (if Bahrain didn't qualified) or India (if Taiwan and Bahrain didn't qualified both)
    POT 4: Qatar and whoever qualified in FQT mid March (either Taiwan, Guam, Thailand, India and Iraq)...

    Depending what will Saudi put themselves, Our group mates will determine after the FQT later this mid March... But for sure, we will not face Lebanon and China since both those 3 will stay in POT 2 not matter what will happen... If KSA put themselves in POT 1, I want them as our group mates for sure and Syria in POT 3.. Toughest teams in POT 4 will be Qatar and Taiwan... Possibly 2 group of death scenarios because of them being in POT 4 despite very competitive teams...

      What, 9 days of training prior to the 2025 Asia Cup?
      I say good luck with that. PBA never learned its lessons.
      Still doing the same $hit and expecting different results. Hope for the best na lang talaga Everytime

        The only bright side is that the non-PBA boys will have ample amount of rest and can start practicing. (Unless Brownlee decides to play pro elsewhere in the summer)

        It’s only the PBA guys who will suffer because SMB, TNT, and GSM are all expected to make deep play off runs.

        Edu
        KQ
        Tamayo
        Dwight
        Brownlee

        That’s basically 5 out of 8 guys in the rotation. Only Scottie, Junemar, and Newsome are expected to log minutes from the PBA boys. Oftana and Perez? Best they play limited minutes.

        • With Kai Sotto's injury, the debacle of Gilas in the recent 3rd window & this 9-day preparation Gilas wud be getting for the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup, I couldn't help but to be pessimistic about our chances in this tournament.

          Gilas looked very good & promising after last year's historic win over Latvia & New Zealand. Everyone was optimistic as future looked bright for Gilas.

          Right now, I can't help but be very frustrated & pessimistic.

          U bet other teams will be stronger & well prepared. Most teams will have at least 1 month of preparation samantalang yung Gilas 9 days lang. It doesn't take a basketball genius to understand that a 9-day preparation period won't be enough.

          • Maybe coach Tim Cone is determined not to accept any additional players for Gilas as of now because he is aware that his Gilas team would just be getting an extremely short preparation period for the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup. If this is really the case, then I can't blame coach Tim for stubbornly not accepting any additional players for Gilas.

            With a very short preparation period, the more coach Tim has to rely on the chemistry, cohesion & familiarity of Gilas players to his system.

            • The PBA is just scamming the fans, faking full support for Gilas.

                And I think that 9-day period should be used for rest, or at least most of it, in preparation for the tournament proper.

                  In short, it's almost as if Gilas will have no preparation at all for the Asia Cup.

                  Good luck to our team.

                  • We started very well leading to the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup with a 4-0 win-loss record in the 1st & 2nd window. Then we beat world No. 6 Latvia in last year's OQT.

                    Then everything started sour when Kai Sotto got injured. We had a terrible campaign in the 3rd window - something most of us here wud rather forget.

                    We always start well...

                    ...then we fuckup the endgame

                      Is it no brainer? The PBA has once again become the main culprit.

                      When have they ever been good for Gilas?

                        Every time they win and they are not Everytime they lost based on reactions here

                        Well if any of you can step up ang pay for the league expenses especially now that foreign teams are getting our local players. It's getting expensive to own a PBA team

                          We had a similar case in the 2019 WC, I think. And we didn't send a good team then. In the 2017 Asia Cup, I remember reading about training time becoming an issue.

                          If we don't make the quarterfinals this Asia Cup, can we attribute it to the lack of training time, stubborn coaching, or lack of quality?

                            the first 2 are definitely applicable. The 'lack of quality' is only attributable to pba players who still pumpfakes and drives wide open 3 pointers or passes to the import even if their man is very late contesting their shots. Scratch that actually it's all 3

                              Definitely not lack of quality. Like what I said in my previous post, maybe coach Tim refuses to add any player to the current roster of Gilas is becoz he's aware that he will only get a shitty 9-day preparation period for the 2025 Asia Cup, hence I feel his "stubbornness" is somewhat justified.

                              I say if we suck in the 2025 Asia Cup, we could attribute that to the lack of preparation time.

                              • Actually my enthusiasm about PBA games have been rekindled since mid last year. But after hearing that the shitty league will give Gilas only 9 days to prepare for the Asia Cup, nawala na naman gana ko manood ng PBA games.
