All Pot 1 teams are beatable except Australia.Originally posted by Silent Killer View Post
NZ will be a tough nut to crack but it's doable with proper coaching.
I'm just glad we avoid China, Iran, and Lebanon in the group stages. We just need to avoid Australia.
I don't like our current form but semis should be doable.Comment

If only we'll have at least 3 weeks of full time training prior to the tournament & we'll have a Justin Brownlee in tow, I won't be so worried.Originally posted by sroth3839 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.

My stand is, we convince Ron Harper, Jr. to play as Gilas naturalized player in the coming 2025 Asia Cup if JB's suspension would be more than 3 months. I have a strong feeling Ron Harper Jr. would be willing to play for Gilas. Ron Jr. may just be 6-foot-4/6-foot-5 shooting guard, but he has an insane wingspan. Scouting reports indicate that Ron Jr. has pretty decent defense which is an important aspect we are looking for for a Gilas naturalized player.Originally posted by BJ_Reloaded View Post
Who knows that in the near future, his younger brother Dylan Harper might also be interested to play for Gilas. Even if Dylan is going to be a lottery pick in the NBA, the talent pool in the NBA for the 2-guard position (Dylan's natural position) is just too deep that it's really very uncertain whether Dylan would ever make it to an NBA-select USA senior national team - something which would be favorable to Philippine basketball. Remember that even Jalen Green has yet to make it to an NBA-select USA national team. That's becoz as I've said, malalim talaga yung pool of talent sa 2-guard position sa NBA."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.

Gilas would really need more than 9 days of preparation to make itself battle-ready for the 2025 Asia Cup.
I think coach Tim Cone must be creative in giving Gilas more than just a 9-day training.
What if Gilas does an "every-Monday" practice starting early June as our B-league & KBL Gilas players would already be available for Gilas training by then? By early June eh most likely tapos na yung season ng B-league & KBL, or even if di pa tapos, I think the respective teams of Dwight Ramos, AJ Edu & KQ in the B-league & KBL won't go that far. Dwight & Edu's teams in Japan aren't that strong so it's very likely by May or early June, out of contention na mga teams nila. Even KQ's team in the KBL is struggling so that team is expected to exit early. Only Carl Tamayo's KBL team is strong & is expected to make it to the semis & perhaps the finals.
So if coach Tim sets the "every Monday" Gilas practice in early June, that would be an additional 7 to 8 practices. I think malaking bagay na yun to add to the 9-day preparation period prior to the 2025 Asia Cup. Despite not having a Kai Sotto, I'm confident Gilas can still finish decently in the tournament. But the team needs more time to train/prepare. There's absolutely no substitute for a good preparation."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.

Draw is tomorrow. Let's hope for the best.
If no behind the scenes truly happens, KSA choosing to be in pot 1 could bite them in the ass. They could end up drawing Lebanon, Jordan, and Qatar.Comment

Shouldn't we be thankful to the Saudis that they choose pot 1 becoz we have a chance to be grouped with them thus we avoid strong teams like Australia, Japan & New Zealand. Imagine if we end up being grouped with Saudi Arabia, Korea & Guam, eh di mejo mas madali ang games natin sa elimination round.Originally posted by sroth3839 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.

Other asian countries fear being grouped with the philippines and Australia in the 2025 fiba asia cup.Comment

Utopian scenario would be drawn with Saudi, Syria, and Iraq... Gilas would top this group, avoid everyone else from pot A in the quarters, and it's a dogfight in the semis with China and Iran being darkhorses, only to lose to Australia in the final.
Death scenario would be drawn with Australia, Jordan, and Qatar. I'm seriously convinced we could end up last place in that group.
Katuwaan scenario for me: Japan, Korea, Guam. We got B.League, and K. League players, while a full-strength Guam is basically a more-athletic version of Thailand. I honestly don't know who gets knocked out with Guam from this group.Comment
