2013 10th SEABA Championship

[reamily]

Well a full-forced Indonesian team deserves a spot in FIBA Asia. They should bring in their "big guns" to Manila if they do get a slot.

Thailand has definitely improved from their stint in the ABL as evident in today's game.

More likely not.. their sight might be on the "SEA games" thats why you see a club team playing here..

As for Thailand, Ghogar and Klahan two of their toughest players played sparingly...

Malaysia 47 Thailand 63

Indonesia 64 Singapore 74

Malaysia and Thailand advance to FIBA Asia

Uh oh... Things are indeed getting more interesting.

It's stupid to focus on SEAG and not FIBA Asia when FIBA Asia can be used as a training ground for SEAG.

If Indonesia doesn't make it they only have themselves to blame.

[logbi77]

And Indonesia have caught up. Lead is down to 6, 54-48.

Indonesia fightback fell short. They got the lead down to 3 points, 54-51 before Singapore recovered and extended the lead to double-digits again.

[greenarcher]

Singapore ends up winning. Quotient will kick in now.

Don't get me wrong Thailand and Malaysia are sending their A teams.. As John Ng, Yeo is in the lineup and as if there is a huge difference in talent level between their players...but too bad for Indonesia the gap of talent level between Mario Wuysang and the rest of the team is so far evident with the level up of competion(in abl) his game also levels up if we compare him if his performace in their local league..

Thailand is leading the ballgame against Malaysia by 21.. if they hold on they will go on to Manila..

Malaysia is sending a mixed personnel. kwan yoon jing, guga and batumalai are not there. they should've made the difference for malaysia. Thailand is sending its strongest team.

as for indonesia, there's nothing much they could do as the seniors are taking rest from their ABL stint. while senior players from malaysia are doing the same.

i think thailad will win this seaba championship.

The Philippines, being the host of FIBA Asia 2013, will skip this tourney.

It will be a great match though among the four remaining teams for the two allotted slots. Malaysia has become a lot stronger while Thailand seems to have Indonesia's number.

Fearless forecast: (1) Malaysia (2) Thailand

As I have predicted, both Malaysia and Thailand will book the last two tickets to Manila.

I feel bad for Indonesia. They have a growing domestic basketball league (NBL), a strong ABL team, and they still couldn't pull it off.

If the Indonesia Warriors really just wanted to "rest" then they have no one else to blame for their demise.

This tournament is just 4 games with the last game (championship) just for formality. How tiring can this tourney be? It's not like they were exhausted in the ABL playoffs anyway, only Wuysang played heavy minutes. The other locals played sparingly.

Told ya.,

Someone wants to hide their nt by showing to us the followers of sea basketball that hey we can never get the job done..so don't bother scout us..

Thailand's NT back in Asia Cup qualifiers is same as their SEABA championship team making them a medal contenders coming SEA games..

Malaysia would send a team who can shoot the lights out..

the rest are minnows..All SEA teams can be beaten by our cadet team if we prepare hard for SEA games
