Singapore is sending their shs team

SG team is a few veterans and mostly youngsters. Delvin Goh also not in it.

I had no qualms whatsoever about that “Passport only policy” that the host nation implemented on this edition of the SEA Games that leads to Cambo’s 3x3 ruling against our team. For me it’s all about closing the gap and make the basketball landscape on this part of the world more exciting and interesting moving forward because this is the main reason why our basketball stakeholders hasn’t had the motivation to oblige to form a team on a long term basis and just rely only on one week full training before the start of the actual SEA games tournament because as far as our basketball stakeholders are concern Asean neighbors only had little resistance and challenges for them therefore theirs no need to take so much effort as far as longer training are concern.

Same sentiments. Let them spend ridiculous amounts for a band aid solution that would benefit us more than they would. Habitual use of multiple mercenaries would not only cap their locals but disrupt cohesion as well when transitioning to FIBA sanctioned competitions wherein they could only field one. All these while providing our teams a nice workout.

25-30 is Prime age for basketball. Why is he not a pro yet? Wasting his youth. In NBA even have 18yo.

Too many factors but opportunities at the PH collegiate scene is a major one, and also its age limit (25?). Aside from getting a degree from a premier university upon exhausting their 5 playing years (and graduating of course), top young guns also get to receive perks and allowances along the way that shames what the PH minor basketball leagues can offer (well, at least from the stories I read here).

Did Pat Aquino complain to media about the conditions? Isipin mo how his players will react if he did , they will say coach , hundi ba safe ?

while at that age, Luka Doncic was already named to multiple All Nba 1st teams, Giannis was named NBA MVP for the 1st time at age 24, and has basically won a slew of individual awards prior that age. Tatum also had won numerous all nba citations prior turning 25.

I hope the trend of playing abroad will eliminate eventually college teams super maximizing eligibility

I would be happy if we just send promising young amateurs or young pros to the SEA Games. Yung mga tipong Mason Amos, Mike Philipps, Seven Gagate, Luis Pablo, Carl Tamayo, Chico Briones, Francis Lopez, Caleum Harris. Or a mix of pros & amateurs, say 6 amateurs & 6 pros.

I’m hoping Asean nation would have binding agreement to sports discipline like basketball to impose an age limit: let’s say U22 or U25 (as long as it ranged to that age but not over 30). It’s an option but it could sieved the best players in countries like us, Thai and Indo. And agreement that would allow ineligibles (with country passports) and NP player(s).

if devin goh has the height and skills like kai sotto, I wouldn’t be surprised if Singapore would send him abroad. Afaik, he joined pro as early as 16yo. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Such a bummer as I expect Oftana to get some serious burn this tourney, at least more than what he did the last time he don the Gilas jersey.

Calf strains are a bitch. It takes a week at the most for the pain to subdue, then the therapy usually involves trigger point dry needling the calf muscle where the muscle relaxes like it's never worked out for months, then another week for rehab to get back the strained calf to full fitness.

Arvins perimeter D is still bad.

told ya wouldnt be easy..

Cambodia up 11.

Offense sucks, man. Defensively, I dunno. Missed rebounds and some tough shots.

As for Cambodia, they just want the ball more on the glass. Their guys are making tough shots too.

Chot's system still being bad, our boys not defending because it's "sea games", what's new. Now we might get beaten by Cambodia.
Now I hope people understand why I barely add Perez in my rosterbation posts anymore.
Also again always the sickness of Chot lineups, no shooting. Kahit pure shooter lang naman wala. Chot really likes his "utility" shooters like Pogoy. Get Amos in there.
