2024 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament

Brazil deserved the win. We were hesitant to take those 3s, while Brazil just went for it, even if they weren't connecting earlier. Their rebounding also killed us. We rarely got second chances whenever we missed.

I hope Tim Cone and SBP will reconsider Clarkson again… I know he always looking at chemistry and cohesion.. But Clarkson’s talent is very valuable… in World Cup, we will always facing Latino teams, we are always have no chance against them since they have athleticism advantage against us… Only Clarkson’s talent can match to those DR, PR and Brazil’s athleticism… Clarkson under Tim Cone is more deadly…

There is not really problem with having Clarkson over Brownlee, the issue is the availability and the practice needed.

Is there a contract issue with Kai? He wanted to play as per Sayson. What happened? Or he is not that brave enought to take the pain even if there was no injury?

Typical sayson stirring the pot again. Coaching staff didnt want to risk Kai, CTC is no Jawo or Coach Thibs

One bad loss and you're ready to replace JB already. Like he isn't entitled to have one bad game out of 3.

I don’t ever want to see a post up play by Fajardo against non-Asian teams.

Never again.

I don’t remember the adjustment that Brazil made but that second quarter was the turning point, Gilas struggled to score since then

Imo the smartest move they make was inserting felicio in the first half. They took advantage especially when jmf took a breather without those offensive boards and second chance point, we might have had a bigger lead coming to halftime

Coaching staff prolly dont want to risk anything with him. They gambled on not using him. That gamble just didnt pay off.

They did a good part here… Don’t risk Kai’s future… we need more of him on the future… Don’t do stupid just like Adamson did to Lastimosa…

Still proud of this team and will probably use it as ammunition whenever gilas starts underperforming in the future. We did a good job against Brazil considering how many injuries we have. We just need to upgrade Tamayo and KQ and it's all good

[carmelo7]

- Gilas has overachieved but it always sucks to lose this way
- Kai not playing is fine, this aint the game to risk aggravating an injury as 2028 is the real target.
- Boatwright has some big shoes to fill.
- Tamayo and KQ both need to get stronger fast.
- If we could add say a QMB-Edu frontline and/or a Holt-Barefield backcourt, it'll do wonders or even accelerate the Gilas program
- Nainterview lng si Chot minalas agad lol

too much fkin drama whoring

[zairex]

Clarkson struggled? He scored 28 pts vs DR.. he toyed every single DR opponents, He impacts the team more.. they just Towns and disadvantages at coaching… Clarkson under Tim Cone is more deadly… You also know that…

Nope, TC is more of triangle coach which JC is not good at. I thought we will be moving and cutting with more purpose. At the end, our players doesn't get any advantages on triangle.

Yes for sure. As someone have already pointed out the next world cup and olympics is the real target, just hope sbp sticks through with this program.
