This is what Thirdy can do for Gilas. Most of the time he is tasked to defend imports. Currently He is San-En's best wing defender. Shiga's Import Octeus had two miserable games this weekend when being guarded by Thirdy. He shuts him down entirely. I don't recall if he ever even got a shot with him being on D. Offensively, he needs to improve. Shooting is still wildly inconsistent and sometimes bumbles open layups if there's a tall defender near the shaded lane. He needs a team with better coaching and spacing for Thirdy to show his offense.Comment

He wanted to join a struggling team thinking that would give him an opportunity to shine. Unfortunately his team is struggling for a reason.Originally posted by ja.he View PostComment

Nice to hear that Thirdy is showing some potential in defense. Perhaps defense would make Thirdy even more serviceable to Gilas. He & Dwight Ramos can form a solid defensive tandem at the wings. If he is able to develop defense at a level that would stymie the top wingmen of China, Korea, Japan, Lebanon, Iran, Jordan, then I think Thirdy would be very serviceable for Gilas. The thing about Thirdy is that, yung ikaw kung opposing team, you can't simply disregard him & not put some attention on defense becoz he's a good slasher & finisher off the break. Now if he is able to polish his shooting, then he will even be more dangerous on the offensive end.Originally posted by Jupitersa View Post
I'd like to give Thirdy some consideration amid the not so impressive showing in the B-league lately. We have to remember that while he was hired by San-en as an Asian import, he is still a rookie in professional basketball. He's still developing & not yet a finished product."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. 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 IVComment

Say Thirdy spends a long time in Japan, could he still play for the PBA after?Originally posted by robert0326Comment

That's nice...Thirdy will always have a fallback...though iirc there's a player in Japan right now who is still playing at the age of 45. Thirdy might like it there so much that he could play for the B League for a longer time than anticipated.Originally posted by robert0326
EDIT: Found him, he's Takehiko Orimo and he's still playing at 49 years old...how old is Asi now?

Yeah, i've read about this Orimo guy months ago that he is still playing professional ball. I remember too during the 2002 Asian Games, that guy almost single-handedly defeated RP NT. He was a legit scorer in the Asian level during those days. Ball really is life for this guy, i must say.Originally posted by jasper222 View Post
As for Thirdy, i hope he gets to play most of his 20's in the B. League, with a mid-tier B1 team that always has a good chance of making the playoffs.Comment

If not for that sucker punch by Dennis "The Menace" Espino on Orimo, malamang natalo tayo doon sa game vs. Japan. But looking back at that 2002 Asian Games, di kaya nakarma tayo for resorting to a dirty trick in that won game vs. Japan, then we lost a won game vs. Korea in the semis?Originally posted by Rodbi View Post
We got away with that wickedness in that game vs. Japan only to be haunted by it in that game vs Korea. And that bitter loss to Korea still haunts Phi basketball up to this day."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 don't know about that Espino-Chris Tiu altercation in 2009.Originally posted by barok espinoza View Post
One thing about Dennis Espino, he's no angel. Far from it. He knew how to play dirty also. He's some sort of an RDO also, perhaps even more mischievous than RDO.
Sorry for the OT"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.
