And we'll need at least one of those exemptions before the 2027 WC. Insurance if neither Kai nor AJ are on the floor. -
Well, that's good news. Hopefully, we call up only one of Japeth or Mason.Originally posted by Sikatrix View PostComment

Peste naman kasi yang mga EASL games na yan eh! The Meralco & SMB scheduled games on Nov. 13 should have been reset. Gilas practice should start Nov. 13 so that Gilas would train for 8 days (instead of 6 days) prior to its big game vs. New Zealand. Yung 2 days na additional training sana ng Gilas, malaking bagay yun eh especially with the very limited time of preparation."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. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IVComment

Gilas should really test some new and other pool members this November window, you can't be relying on just 11 players especially with the inevitable that some will retire soon
Some forward long term planning is in orderComment

When Newsome retires, we lose a key point of attack defender at the guard spot. When June Mar retires, we lose a big who can score inside and rebound. When JB retires, we lose a playmaker, our go-to-guy, one of our key shooters, and a key defender at the 3 and 4 spots.Originally posted by DAdmiral View Post
On top of that, we'll need a few more of these:
- A 3 who can stay in front of his man, or at the very least prevent dribble penetration (hope Oftana and Malonzo become this, otherwise we need a good defender at 3)
- An extra interior defender in case either of Kai and AJ cannot play in a big window or a big tournament
- Shooting (hope Carl, CJ, Oftana, Dwight, and Malonzo can fill these)
- Maybe another initiator of the offense (someone who can bring the ball up in a press and make the first pass)Comment

as much as we want to request for the expansion of the pool because of so many factors that keeps on popping every now and then
specifically towards the player's physical health being.
we all know "CTC is CTC" and he already mentioned his stand on why he choose a tight pool.
for now let's just watch and see until the end of LA 2027 if ever the current Gilas version qualifies.
It ain't surprising no more names like Jordan Heading, Benny Boatwright being added for that specific timeline
it's all over the news
for now let those current ineligibles establishes the necessary domestic merits.
2030 is the ideal timeframe for them whether we like it or not
not now unless another revision has been done to the current handbook.
that's another storyline that is a worth a discussion.

It's a good thing that the PBA guys have played and trained together since last year's Asiad, then. The current pool has played and trained together since before the February 2024 window.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
Chemistry makes up for short training time. I hope it does in this case.Comment

Yes bro, I agree with U, I think chemistry or cohesion wise, Gilas is already OK. But it takes some time rin kasi to somewhat refresh such chemistry or cohesion. Remember that current Gilas players are coming from different teams or should I say different leagues. They need some sort of refresher & that process will take some time.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.

I just think CTC retires after 2027 or 2028 at most. Then rebuilding again, unless the successor is someone like LA who might continue the triangle.Comment

That’s what they were going for since the beginning as far as I can tell.Originally posted by IPC View Post
The SBP and the PBA know they can’t afford to have a long training camp without compromising PBA games (revenue) and players also come from different leagues.
The window format only has two games, so you don’t really need a long preparation unless your team is back to square one with no players carrying over previously.
CTC’s insistence on a smaller 12 man core works for the window format.
Tournament format? They need to establish the chemistry during the windows then have the final 2-3 week boot camp prior to a big tournament like the Asia Cup.Comment

How the heck will QMB get an exemption? There’s more of a case for Ange and Mike.Originally posted by sroth3839 View Post

If we do rest JB, I think it will be the Hong Kong game.Originally posted by Silent Killer View Post
We would have to drop Japeth to make room, though. We have 4 local players at 4/5 in Carl, AJ, June Mar, and Kai.Comment

Hopefully Ange will play the Hong Kong game but it could be the NZ game if Kai is out due to his concussion.Comment
