Good thing that it's just a mild sprain. I think in 2 or 3 days time, Kai can play/practice/srimmage"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

But I think Tamayo's team still has a game on Nov. 14 if I'm not mistaken.Originally posted by IPC View Post"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

PBA Finals is over. Our guys have time to rest before the window. Especially JB, Scottie, Oftana, and Japeth.Comment

Should be Japeth. Mason is hit or miss in his Team B games depending if his shot is on.Originally posted by IPC View PostComment

Yeah. It's better that the PBA Governor's Cup finals ended in game 6 instead of game 7 as JB, Iskati & Oftana will have a few days of rest before plunging into Gilas training for the 2nd window. Becoz if the finals would go to game 7, JB & company will hardly have any rest going into Gilas training.Originally posted by IPC View Post"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

No Jordan Heading for the 2nd window?
It's frustrating that Japeth is still considered for the 2nd window despite AJ Edu already available for the 2nd window. Gilas already have a solid frontline with Kai, Junmar, AJ Edu, Tamayo & JB (who plays both the 4 & 3 positions). It's the positions 1 & 2 na manipis tayo with Iskati, CJ Perez, Chris Newsome & Dwight Ramos. Coach Tim should have added Jordan Heading instead of keep on recalling Japeth for Gilas service despite his advanced age. I think it's time for coach Tim to retire Japeth Aguilar for good from the national team."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

With June Mar, Kai, and AJ, we don't need Japeth that much. However, when one or two of Kai and AJ is unavailable, that's when we need another rim protecting big. That's when Japeth comes into play. However, Japeth's 37, and was subpar this Finals on both ends.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
In the alternative, we need a good defensive wing who can at least prevent dribble penetration. JB can defend, but he's 36, and he couldn't stop some TNT PnR's in the Finals. Oftana was decent in the OQT on that end, team-defense wise, but I also noticed that he did stay connected after getting screened too. I rewatched some parts of the OQT games. Hope Malonzo can be a decent man-to-man defender. We will especially need that when JB retires.Comment

I always believed that in forming a team you should have 5 players comprising the 5 & 4 positions, 5 players comprising the 1 & 2 positions. Of course there are players versatile enough to play at least 2 positions as in the cases of Justin Brownlee who plays both the 4 & 3 positions, Dwight Ramos able to play the 2, 3 spots & perhaps even the point guard spot, AJ Edu able to play both the center & 4 positions. Usually its the players playing the 3, 2 & 4 positions who are versatile.
My Gilas 12-man roster for the 2nd window would be like this:
Kai, Edu, Junmar at center (Edu can play the 4 spot)
Tamayo & JB at the four spot (JB can slide to the 3 spot)
Oftana & Quiambao at the 3 spot
CJ Perez, Newsome, Jordan Heading & Dwight Ramos at the 2-guard spot (Newsome & Heading can play as point guards while Dwight can play as a 3)
Iskati as the team's main point guard.
I think this is a more balanced line-up."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time.
