[DrainBamager]

slow the game down and topex will be cooked. tried and tested by coach mon and coach bonnie.

UP put harold on KQ during crunch time and he put the clamps on him.

Seeing Joaqui Manuel play is like watching Joshua Webb all over again. Nauuna ang yabang. Hindi matanggal ng DLSU players yung yabang. Parang last Season 85 prior to the tournament, Nelle was asked what’s his team chances and said to the effect that “we’re number 1”. And they didn’t even make Final Four that season.

You sound incredibly insecure if players “yabang” affects you like that .

If you dont play and act comfortably . “ Wala mangyayari sayo” You cant have hiya when you play.

And it aint rocket science why the most yabang players come from the same schools here

I guess nobody said there is no place for “yabang” or self confidence in sports. Obviously if you talk or act or make guarantees you put a target on your back.

Those la salle players mentioned act and talk but can’t back it
up with results. All confidence but no game.

Precisely. It only becomes a distraction to their game because they become a target. It is also an annoyance to the fans who watch the game.

They are no Mac Cardona, Arwind Santos or Calvin Abueva. These guys can brag and trash talk all game long because in the end game they contribute and lead their teams to victories. They contribute when the game is on the line and on the games (final four & finals) that mattered most. Evidence are the MVPs and championships they won.

While the mentioned DLSU players, when the game is on the line, don’t contribute. Worse they turned the ball over (Joaqui) or make bad shot selections (Nelle).

so basically your argument is if you can't back up your trash talking then you're just a pr*ck, but if you can then that's swag?

so robert bolick had no "yabang?" in him or he simply backed it up with his game that everyone gave him a pass?

Its a game , youre acting like you have never played competitive sports .

If you are dlsu admu or lately up. You will always have a target on your back. Losing and getting the shit you talked thrown back at you happens .

All elite players have supreme confidence, it is absolutely necessary. Some just have the personality to be demonstrative while some are not.

But not all who have supreme confidence are elite players. There are a lot of irrationally confident players (which sometimes makes them better than they are).

Then there are the ones who do not know/believe how good they are, when the mental/confidence level is unlocked, they go on another level.

That's why coaches always emphasize the mental part of the game.

[Joe Yabuki]

Not gonna be surprised if he and Francis go pro already. Part of the reason why I also like UP's model of recruiting a bunch but letting them leave early as well when the opportunity comes.

Next season, guys like Diouf, JD, CJ, and probably Lopez and Alarcon won't be around anymore.

I hope lopez stays, still abit too raw to be an import, same goes to KQ, they can learn more by staying rather than being put in the spotlight right away

[Blueorgreen22]

Why are the womens basketball game not live on tv?
they are instead showing game replay of the womens basketball. Hope they do live broadcast and replays after the live games.

[IPC]

DLSU outscored by 18 points in the 3rd. They are in trouble and they are supposedly the more experienced team.

UP still have a lot of their championship rotation, though. Abadiano, Alarcon, Cagulangan, Cansino, Malick, and Fortea. Gonzales and Torculas went to the Finals last year. Felicilda and Torres are in their 3rd playing year. Pretty experienced themselves.

There were rumors going around earlier this year that foreign teams have inquired about Kevin Quiambao and Mason Amos

I hope not Amos, hes too raw

[Rds]

I hope not Amos, hes too raw

Yeah. He needs the PT. The UAAP comp is not bad. Im not sure how much PT he’ll get in B league or KBL though. I havent seen his games much but I assume his def is still a work in progress?

[Metta]

Although Amos still has a lot of development ahead of him, if they just need a tall guy to stand in the corner and shoot 3s (like how it is with Tamayo) then Amos can already do that effectively.

But for his improvement, I think he's better off staying put. He has the chance to be a main guy as soon as next year. Experience that role/responsibility first, try to win a championship, then go on to the next level. Tamayo's timeline is ideal.
