Some teams have the tendency to take it easy on defense once they take a big lead.

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 IV -
Actually sir Jams, most of the made 3's by Hong Kong came mostly from the first half. The difference maker here was that Guam has Washington and Tai Wesley to grab offensive boards. I doubt if they still have that advantage against better teams in Asia. Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, and China are significantly taller than their previous counterparts in the Pacific Games and Eastern Qualifiers.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostAttack

Guam is more talented than our squad for now, lamang lang tayo sa tactics and coachingTo becomes Asia's Best, we need to compete against the World's Best..
1 Big 4 small > 5 out offense.Comment

question, if Gilas loses all it's 3 games, but has a point difference margin over Indonesia, (they'e plus 30 ?) are they qualified already automatically to Asia cup?Comment

Ah ok. Point taken.Originally posted by ja.he View Post
I haven't seen how Guam plays but maybe the Guamanians aren't used to how Asian teams play, specially East Asian teams like Korea, Taiwan, Japan. Yung mga Koreans, Japs & Taiwanese kasi mahilig talaga tumira ng 3's. Large part of their scoring are 3-pointers. Maybe Guam plays some sort of old school basketball. Yung playing style during the 90's & early 2000's basketball."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 actually watch games of Guam in 2015 and 2019 Pacific Games. About the level of competition, I say that SEA Games Basketball is better than the Pacific Games. Only Tahiti has the capability to beat Guam. Bronze medallists Fiji will get waxed out by SEA teams. The rest of the competition is low. Kaya FIBA is right when they organized the Melanesia Cup and Polynesia Cup.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostAttack

From what I know is that, even if we go 0-3 this 3rd window, wag lang manalo ang Indonesia sa Korea, then we'll end up 2nd place in our group.Originally posted by DAdmiral View Post
That's becoz if we go 0-3, and Indonesia goes 2-1 (winning over Thailand & Gilas but loses to Korea) in this window, we tie Indonesia at 3-3. But since we beat Indonesia by 30+ points in the 1st window, its almost certain that Gilas takes 2nd place behind Korea since its very very unlikely that Indonesia is going to beat us by 30 pts.
I will retire from IBN if we get beaten by Indonesia by at least 30 pts.

No wonder Uichico isn't the head coach for this window. The current coach of Korea was part of rhe 2002 Asiad squad that broke his heart. LolComment

BTW previously in the NZ NBL players from the Pacific island ( like Guam) were considered local (unrestricted ), it would really be beneficial if Filipinos could play as locals in the NZ NBLComment

Ok. I think as Guam plays in FIBA asia more often, it will get use to the Asian style of play, specially East Asian teams like Korea, Taiwan & JapanOriginally posted by robert0326"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.

If JC will play for Gilas in 2023, I think BRP jr, Wright, Pogoy and Perez will not be needed especially if the team will still have Ramos, Javi and Heading. Veteran playmaker Kiefer Ravena for me is the only one worth consideration for the 2023 World Cup Gilas lineup..Originally posted by mathematicianrcg View PostComment

Yes previously, Tai wesley was a local in the NZ NBL, the rule is based on Fiba local eligibility to a pacific country.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
NZ BTW is very much , where the Pacific island main office and embassies are held. The Philippine consulate embassy for most of the Pacfic islands ( like Fiji, Cook Island, Tonga) is NZ.. that is why Asi Taulava , is got his papers confirmed in the Philippine embassy in Wellington NZ.Comment
