also what do Perez's naysayers have to say about this game? He kept this close as hell until KQ threw it away

When he has the ball deep inside im saying “please dont do anything stupid” credit to cj and the coaching staff on this (re: decision making)

Well doesn't that makes it better for PH anyway? I was criticizing Perez last night and he proved me wrong tonight which is good I guess.

Yago Santos is Yago Santos lol, comparing them to players that plays in completely different environments and opponents is kinda regarded

I don’t think so.. if Prime Castro or Alapag or even LA tenorio still on their primes with under CTC, they can match up with him.. remember they also faced much better JJ Barea in 2014 fiba World Cup but they are not afraid and hang on them until we lose some experience edge to them in the final minutes…

Coach Tim is a standup guy he will not easily drop any of these players, maybe Japeth and Amos as both are substitute for Edu and Jamie, but i bet Amos will stay in the pool, the only time he might drop anyone from this pool if because of bad attitude, though i think he might add some names in the pool i can see at max we will have 15 players in the pool

This game showed how valuable Edu is to us. He would have been protecting our rim and swatting shots.

the pace became barabara (triangle formation but more isos and kickouts) and Perez waxed hot. good for us.

if KQ made his last 3, we would have won the game. it was a bad shot, but he was wide open, he should have made that haha

Aguilar also played kinda well in this game. the bench really stepped up tonight. I hope full force ulit vs Brazil

That’s why forget fantasy line ups under his era… he will not pick players who are not fit with him.. remember the triangle offense is very hard to learn… it will took years to learn the system… So it is almost impossible to tap such as Heading or Abando unless it is very needed… CTC again proved that he can adjust even his materials are not fully completed… he will stick to this crew until 2027…

I think amos will be in the program for a long time as a project and eventually crack the rotation as the older guys like japeth and jmf are no longer serviceable

this is probably japeth’s last tour of duty, what a way to retire from nt duties

KQ and Tamayo strikes me as dudes who are way too excited to make a difference, to the point they make boneheaded decisions or get ruined by nerves. This game is a testament to how much Cone trusts these 2 raw af players because a lot of crucial misses and turnovers were on them, which is good to me in the big picture, it shows this system has no favoritism and expects everyone to play their A games. I think these 2 will be invaluable pieces to Tim's gameplans once they discover the nuances to their games

yeah, even in the comm's cup when a lot of people were asking to replace Tony Bishop he sticked with him, for CTC if you are not fit on his system or if you have a bad attitude that is only the time that he will let you go of his team, after one season he opted to trade Ellis even for an injured dela cruz because Ellis do not fit on his system

This is so different from how we saw Chot handle the Wil Navarro and Francis Lopez tandem against god damn southeast asian teams. CTC extend 20 years

Abando will be included in the roster if he can play PG like CJ perez, hope he improves his handles and decision making

yes he likes the game of Amos, now the stakeholders in Philippine Basketball need to work out on how Kouame will be able to play regulary in the Philippines for him to be granted an exemption as he is the perfect replacement for Junemar, i think the last hurrah for Junemar and Brownlee will be in FIBA Asia cup 2025, after that Boatwright will take over the naturalized spot so it's really a must to get an exemption for Kouame

the reason why it's a no-no to tank games, just play whoever in front of you and try to win, the win against Latvia gave us a big boost, if we lost that game and with this short rest, the pressure will be higher for us to win this game, even if Georgia lead as much as 20 earlier in the game the pressure was still with them to maintain it, but that zone defense threw off Georgia's game plan and helped us to come back and almost win the game, win or lose in this tournament it's a good experienced for our players

In a short tournament, tanking is a no-no since a lot of factors would be out of your control, including the quotient (heck the nba teams learned that during the in season tournament)
