Looks like we're in a tough group. We face Chinese Taipei and NZ in Group B.

CT is very beatable as long we send our best with proper preparations. When was the last time they beat us at full strength? If we lose to CT twice, then that's strike no. 1 for the SMC-SBP leadership.

I'll give them 3 strikes till I boycott Gilas games until these wankers fuck off.

NZ? We need to beat these fuckers.

Yeah, as what Reamily said in the Jones Cup thread, "Malakas lang sila (Chinese-Taipei) kapag Jones Cup".

Light group for the Iranians and Lebanese hahaha

If I remember it right, 2013 FIBA Asia Championship, in Manila.

CT was lead by that player with an emo haircut. It happened when PHL and Taiwan was having a diplomatic row regarding territorial fishing grounds. and our fishermen were being detained in Taiwan, So the game had emotional and nationalistic pride overtones.

Yeah, we need to send good players. Good thing we have a potential core in Dwight, Kai, and AJ. Hopefully, Kai, AJ, Dwight, Carl, Abando, Parks, Bolick, and RJ are available by Feb 2024, as are Malonzo, Navarro (hope he can fully recover), June Mar, and Ange.

Ironic as they are now our allies against China's 9-Dash Line.

The same core as our 2023 WC with some tweaks should do. They should name a permanent HC but I won't mind if Jong becomes our interim.

Dwight
AJ
Kai
Brownlee / Ange
Abando

Scottie
Malonzo
Junemar
BRP
Tamayo
Heading
Bolick

Reserve:
Oftana
Navarro
Japeth
Lassiter
RJ Abarrientos
Amos
Quiambao
Arvin Tolentino
Geo Chiu
Tuffin
Dave Ildefonso

No Ravena brothers and Pogoy please!

Group B.

Chinese-Taipei
Hong Kong
News Zealand
Philippines

Pinoy fans in Hong Kong will finally watch the Gilas game live in Hong Kong… good treat for Pinoy fans out there.. it will surely a “homecourt” advantage for Filipinos there in Hong Kong… I’m sure Pinoys will mark the date of Gilas game in Hong Kong to take a dayoff from their works just to watch that game.. same also in Taiwan… I want Guam but it is what it is already…

More ironic because Beijing doubled down and sided with Taiwan with its claim. LOL. Anyways Im rooting for CT to get back on its track. They've been in the doldrums since like forever. Its better to have more competition in our region, Who wants to play minnows and trashy teams. The harder the competition, the more beneficial to the PHL Basketball in general.

Good news, is we have a number of players in the 2023 WC team within the 1996-2002 age group, namely Kai, AJ, Dwight, Abando, and Malonzo. Quality players in that range too in Carl, Navarro, Heading, and RJ (who should be in future lineups, or at the very least in consideration). They can be long-term players. Hopefully, we get some younger prospects in the February 2025 window, and minimize older players (specifically in the 1989 and earlier age range; ideally only 1-2 players from that age range) unless we absolutely need them.
