FIBA ASIA Cup Qualifiers

I hope QMB's desire to play for Gilas is strong that he will apply for the PBA draft because I am sure that SBP is saying "you have to play first in the PBA before we put you in Gilas." He should just sign a 1 to 2 years contract so he can go to the B-League or KBL. QMB should also demand that he will only apply for the draft if Ginebra gets him and not that game-fixing farm team.

he’s not allowed to play in KBL. needs to be full blooded and as we all know QMB isnt

[live_evil]

yeah, you are right but KBL being the better league than the PBA will likely realize the marketing aspect of having more imports if they plan to expand their market. Yes, QMB is barred but I won't be surprised if KBL revises their rules in the near future.

It would be a suprise if KBL will change their rule. They did not change their rule to make Ra Guna a local or some of their half Koreans.

so there's a rumor that a rich private company in CTE are officially offering(?) all the players to do their best to beat Gilas for that $1 Million wager each players.

boy that would be interesting if it is really authentic.

I remember the same storyline when THA basketball are also enticing their players to do their thing to beat the DDO squad back then..

anyway, whatever happens we only need to beat CTE in order to snatch that numero uno in our bracket

and avoid being mauled too much by a large margin by the rejigged TB in their backyard led by that cry baby.

well I'm just waiting for that big news that will be release somewhere down the road.

Nope... The NZL game will determine who will be the number 1 seed in their group.. we can assume NZL will destroy Hong Kong.. and NZL will get the top seed if the win vs Gilas by 5 or more points...

Yes Sir thank you for the correction.

very much appreciated.

well really need another lopsided win tonight

if we want more leverage against the TB on the 23rd

with a much improved lineup both on CTE and NZL for this final window

with that "Revenge" storyline expect that they will jump on us from the get go

CTC and his coaching staff should really anticipate this and come up with

a perfect gameplan tonight considering CTE's second unit are weaker compared

to their first 5.

expect they will abuse to no end Abay's weakness on the pick n' roll/pick n' slide play

once Gadiaga and Gilbeck is on the bench

Gilas should take advantage of it..there other Center Tseng Hsiang-chun of Fighting Eagles Nagoya is not eye-popping

AJ can hold his fort against Gilbeck hoping he will not be on foul trouble early.

expect Newnew's assignment will be Gadiaga.

I hope Indonesia still keep grinding even they were experience blowouts.. they have to secure Bolden and DMX soon in next qualifiers.. those too small Indos will not make it... I don't want that they will quit competing basketball after this blowouts..

[Giannis34GOD]

Guam coach sucks.. he's outcoached by Greek coach of Mongolia.. they are really prepared in this game while Guam are too sloppy with their game.. if Guam lose by 12 then they will be snatched away by Mongolia in 3rd place game.. I actually like Mongolia to make it since like us, China and Lebanon, they love basketball too and they are passionate fans in the sport...

[reamily]

Thats how basketball is played.. Mongolia deserved that easl slot

Damn, those Mongolians taking the 5x5 basketball serious already? Another competition in Asia, I guess. They still have Mike Sharavjamts in USNCAA, a 6'9 PG SG (yes, his position is 1,2). Although his US NCAA career is not that good so far, already on his 3rd team in 3 years.

[Giannis34GOD]

Coach Calvo is more worst than Chot or even Austria in terms of coaching.. they have talents but no plays, no defensive plays, too sloppy and worst they were outmatched...

Well, entering that level is already achievement for mongolians.. he will be the cornerstone of Mongolia in the future..

We have also many US NCAA boys out there, and mostly become cornerstone of our national team (Ramos, Edu, JB)..
