34th Dubai International Basketball Championship (SGA/Zamboanga)

[BJ_Reloaded]

honestly, I'm not into the x's and o's of the games.

whether SGA or Valientes won this tourney, it doesn't matter to me that much.

just hearing that hala!! hala!! halaaah!! helwa!! helwa!! helwa!!! chuk chuk chuk

all game long of that arab broadcaster, I'm done for the day.

mababaw lang talaga ang kaligayahan ko...trans. laughter is really the best medicine.

Ah OK. I think this wasn't the case some 6 yrs ago in which 3 world imports were allowed each team but only 2 can play at a time. Then a team is allowed 1 naturalized player which doesn't count as a world import

The only 2 import can play at a time tule is still being enforced as charles tiu has recently mentioned in an article. Not sure what the max is but sga, zamboaga techinically has 3 each not counting the naturalized ones.

I feel "panghihinayang" on Dave Ildefonso. I think he should be playing in the PBA instead of being idle for for some time now. While he isn't a national team material, at least for now, I think he won't do badly in the PBA, especially if he lands on a not so talent laden team (wag lang syang babagsak sa SMB or sa Ginebra). The guy is only 24 so there's still a lot of basketball years ahead of him & mag e improve pa sya in the coming years. At around 6-foot-4, he's a good size shooting guard. Let's be honest, how many 6-foot-3/6-foot-4 natural shooting guards do we have in the PBA? Kunti lang, di ba?

The players are looking better individually. Kouame looks better. Dave looks better offensively. He knows where to get open looks and has stopped his drive then stop BS move. It seems it was hard for the lanky players in this game. The opponents are physical and have decent length. Several calls were bad. The team wasnt able to give good screens. Abando and McCullough couldnt get good looks against the physical defense.

I know he is 6'1. There are capable players SG at that height

1.88 m or 6’2. 6’3 with shoes I guess. Good size for SG but still slow defensively.

Only catched a glimpse of the game for maybe 3 mins of game time before the 1st half ended; all calls, yes all calls were in beirut's favor. Good thing SGA was able to build a big lead already.

that’s his issue when he’s in KT sonicboom before. his defense.. same complain from Baekpd1983..

I hope he (Dave I) will talk to Northport management heart to heart, same what Heading did and now Mikey.. If he wants to be traded then talk to them with positive aura.. Don't put on his situation that pride in his part will kill his career.. I still think Northport will willing to trade him to his better team situation (ex: Converge) as long he and his camp will lowered their egos and talk to Northport management directly...

I still think Tolomia and Caperal are PBA material players.. Dyip or Blackwater should sign Tolomia for more firepower while Phoenix should sign Caperal for added size...

Where did you get the news that Mikey talked with TNT and "lowered" his ego? Lol.
