I don't think this is the key game for MERALCO anyway. I think the key game is next week against New Taipei....

And he's our main inside scorer and interior defender. That to me is our big loss with him, especially the interior defense part....

[IPC]

If AJ isn't also available by the Asia Cup (hopefully he will be available by then), this tournament will be a litmus test on whether our defense can...

[IPC]

I think if we don't have an defensive big yet, we should add a defensive wing like Navarro.

If we do have that extra defensive big, I think...

Quiambao is competing with Oftana and Malonzo at 3 when it comes to locals. Maybe Dwight too....

Asia Cup's on August 5. If the PBA ends on mid-July, that's too little time to rest and prepare for the Asia Cup....

[IPC]

OK, sir, I note your points. I'm just worried about future results, is all. Like I said, we need a lot of good results in the near future, and leading...

OK, let's go the results front. The goal is the 2028 Olympics. For that, we need to qualify for the 2027 World Cup. Finishing high in the Asia Cup may...

I remember an instance of us going zone for both Chot and Josh, both in 2022.

In the SEA Games, Chot went zone against Indonesia despite...

It will be difficult to justify putting a 6'4" guy at 4.

Exception is if he has the physical attributes, defensive versatility, and...

That was criticizing his coaching. Tactics is part of coaching.

To be fair, though, I think some of it was warranted. The lineups with undersized...

[IPC]

If we have at least one of AJ and Kai in the lineup, having players like JC and Bennie as our NP is fine. At least their weaknesses will be compensated...

[IPC]

I think the best solution for us right now with our size issues is a naturalized player, same as sir Rds. That is if QMB, Ange, and Mike aren't cleared...

[IPC]

Almazan turns 36 in August and I don't think he has a good track record with Gilas. How will his recall help the team?...

[IPC]

And Troy is best doing what he's currently doing right now in Ginebra. Occasional outside shot, fight for loose balls and rebounds, and play D. At least...

[IPC]

And about Troy, I actually blame TNT for not developing him properly. Too much emphasis on his shooting, not enough emphasis on his defense. I mean, became...

[IPC]

And Erram's retired from Gilas.

If we're going the max of 3 FIBA World Cup/Olympic cycles, that's 2039/2040 if we're not including this one.

If we're going for 2 WC/Olympic...

So what's the age cutoff for the young team? Hahahahahaha....

[IPC]

We played against Taiwan at home last year. We've played all our home games already. Both our games this coming window will be away games....
