19th Asian Games 2023 in Hangzhou China

[Kaireem]

JB is good but there is a reason he is not in the NBA and JC is a legit scorer there. Our defense might have been better but our offense would have dropped with JB there. With Edu playing excellent D I don't think we needed JB as much as JC.

if only thompson played like this during the wc eh? or better yet if chot picked oftana over malonzo or his peborit pogoy ... geez

[GoPilipinas]

Iran is still a strong team and we beat them! if chot coaching this team we will lose to them by 20 pts...

[Rds]

The team is weak, yet here we are in the semis.

Let me add. We played JB 36:39 of 40 minutes and all of them in PF. The 3:21 at PF was played by Japeth. Even without the international players and ineligibles, I don't think Japeth is the only option we have at PF at this level. I hope SMC stops playing politics and includes the blacklisted guys in the team. Bollick is our best PG now but is blacklisted. Balti is one of the better two way PF now but is blacklisted.

[Kaireem]

At this rate, AJ is really better than Kai. Even if you factor the age of these players in, Kai would a no match for AJ.

ahahahaha kat and bruno f gave props to edu after playing him, those are "genuine" compliments from "real" nba players

Oftana and Parks should have been picked over Pogoy and CJ. We lost our shooting with Oftana and Parks being cut in the World Cup.

bolick agree

but i really hope gilas plays balti if only to show the casuals here that he is a terrible international big.

balti as a two way international pf.... be careful for what you ask for, you might just get it

I dont think scottie will be that good if he didnt play with ginebra. He is not a dribble drive type of a PG. CTC system is perfect for him.

[ja.he]

For me, Navarro, Oftana and maybe Tuffin will be efficient as wings in international game. Add Dwight and Rhenz, you have a solid core at the swing positions (2/3).

Kai is our C and AJ will be our PF thats deadly combination specially entering their prime. they are both of our players no need to compare. i'm happy that we both have them.

couldn't agree more with this array of wingmen

[zairex]

I think Iran's on a bit of a decline but not as bad as Sokor's

To be fair to SK, thia is their first competitive NT tournament since qualifiers

stop wishing that kai will be good at the world level, he is a liability on defense no matter where you play him

Balti agree

If his threes are not going in, what can he do? Got exposed big time in the B league

Bolick disagree

He will be exposed in the B league div 2 if he plays PG.

The best PGs moving forward are panopio and RJA. We will see the performances of SJ, dave, JGDL in the KBL if they got what it takes to be the future gilas PG

smh what a hater, i highly doubt that

Yes i hate chot but with iran quality and looking at our team history and characteristic specially with chot without preparation we will lose big on this iran team.
