The fact that we beat this Tall Blacks in a game where they’re in their element, that says a lot about our team.. it’s no fluke, our boys are really good
@@bolerosph We need the right coach for our national team! That's is the issue In the past. We need to credit coach Tim for all positive things happen in Gilas rn
Laban Gilas! What a game! Love the system coach Tim instilled in this team. Their playing with more pace and a lot of ball movement. Crazy enough is they outscored New Zealand in PTS in the Paint, which is quite surprising but wow. Love the episode guys! Cheers!
Underrated scorer talaga si Scottie. If you watch the PBA, he has worked so much on his threes that it can be a 50/50 ball and he can have 2-3 threes per game if he gets that groove. In the open court, or even in the half court, because of how athletic he is, most of the time he can lay it up.
His best talent to me is his versatility making him the perfect glue guy to any roster. His familiarity with CTC’s system also is another big plus. Hope that he continues to breakout and thrive. It was a bit of an adjustment for him esp during the fiba world cup. -Maui
What a Win by Gilas Pilipinas and finally vs the Tall Blacks of New Zealand, not just a win but we beat them when NZ was shooting the lights out! Coach Tim stayed true to his word that we can beat NZ and he pulled it off! This Win showed that against any opponent, we will have a great chance of winning, as long as we have a great coach, great system, and everyone is contributing and following the system. Kai Sotto showed the game we all wanted.I hope they stay consistent and don't be complacent vs Hong Kong kahit sure win sa mga paningin natin. Just Play and win the right way, will going great in the future . We will never stop believing on Coach Tim and Gilas Pilipinas! Laban Pilipinas 🇵🇭🔥
I like the idea of expanding the pool. Not just to replace the aging veterans eventually, but to "fix" some lineup deficiencies which were apparent in this game despite the monumental win. Perimeter defense should be the utmost priority. Tamayo, Oftana, Quiambao and Amos, despite their obvious talent, are questionable wing defenders. Almost all of them are converted bigs, which means their lateral movements are still a work in progress. A healthy Jamie Malonzo could fix this somewhat, but who else? This is why I really think Mike Phillips should be added to the pool, and why I'm frustrated Francis Lopez hasn't really taken the next step towards being a fully fledged wing. Phillips, despite all his great attributes (motor, energy, rebounding, defense) will never be a knock down shooter, so he'll be there probably as a perimeter defensive specialist. Lopez potentially should have a better all around game, but I still don't see it when I watch him in the UAAP. His game is still predicated on his elite athleticism, putting his head down and going downhill for a drive, a dunk, or an acrobatic lay-up. He has shown flashes of good perimeter shooting and defensive prowess, but they come too few and far between. Hopefully he improves and takes that elusive "next step" soon because he is what this Gilas team needs, along with the aforementioned Motor Mike. Sana nga tuloy tuloy na to. Go Gilas!!!
I agree with most of your points. On Phillips, i agree he should be added to the pool but i don't think he'll be a perimeter defensive specialist. He's big enough to play power forward and center, and he can protect the rim. What's good about him is he can switch 1 thru 5 which is valuable in the international game Agree also with Lopez. Magkasama tayo on waiting for that leap in his game haha - Gab
Lopez has the potential to be a difference maker, I'm also looking forward to his development. Phillips with his motor and positive vibe should be considered, he will add value in his natural position as power forward. As the game has already transitioned to switchable defenses, his mobility will be very useful in defending P&R's, while his physicality at the rim will always be a welcome addition. Looking forward, he should train with a shot doctor so that he can at the very least be a threat on catch-and-shoot jumpers.
I really hope that Lopez can turn into an elite perimeter defender and a good shooter. I think it would be his best route to get to high level leagues.
We proved that win against latvia was no fluke, happy to see Kai have more confidence on the court and brownlee just doing brownlee things and Scottie driving to the basket at di takot kahit mga 6'10 or 7'0 kaharap niya 😂 Also sana si QMB mainclude in the future sa squad kainis din we have to wait pa para kay motor mike 🥲
Yes, been waiting for this ep! Gab, Gilas was indeed favored in this game. Alam ko sounds surprising 😂. But tho NZ has won the past 4 meetings, several vets/main gunners ang wala sa NZ team that Gilas faced yesterday (it was even Webster's debut as captain afaik). NZ also has a new head coach, as in kaka-appoint lang last month or sth. NZ also had flight issues (may halong malas din e). I thought disrespect kay Webster yung defensive coverage ng Gilas. Guards weren't fighting hard enough sa screens and the bigs kept dropping (bakit!!). I think Gilas should definitely improve on their defense sa guards like Webster and Huertas (weakness ba ng Gilas mga ganitong types of players?). Saka NZ also had JMF's number in this game, they really knew how to cover him (di magawa yung big-to-big actions we saw vs Latvia). And Kai and Harris were indeed teammates in Adelaide! I think medyo mababa yung 3pt shooting % ng Gilas last night (imo under 30% is low for int'l ball). I also found Dwight's perform a bit lacking last night. Low scoring %, even missed open shots. Ok lang na he wasn't scoring if he's given the PG load and/or the biggest defensive load. Kaso last night, Scottie was the main PG and Newsome carried the biggest load on defense. I guess I just expected more from him kasi in my mind, siya pinaka-vet sa Gilas (from Coach Chot's team pa siya). I hope Coach Tim would give significant minutes to young guys like KQ, Mason, and Tamayo in the next game vs HK. We need to get our younger players going. Gets ko naman why these players got only a few or no minutes vs NZ (Tamayo was given a chance, but he just did not deliver). And yeah, hope we could expand our national team pool so we have more guys who are familiar with the system na ready to play in case may injuries. Coach Tim is kinda dragging his feet sa pagkuha ng new members even just for the pool. About Brownlee's replacement, Bennie Boatwright is the slated candidate (he's in the process na). About QMB, na-excite rin ako when he said na he got a PH passport as a kid, pero I heard na may thing daw about how he did not continuously renew it and he actually had to apply for a new one when he was 20+ (baka need pa mag-submit ng docs/proof na his first PH passport was obtained before 16, parang case ni Malonzo). Lowkey umay na siguro si Japeth sa kakatawag sa kanya hahahaha, kahit nag-retire na sa Gilas. Salute to this guy! P.S. Love how FIBA games start on time + mabilis pa. Wala halos game stoppage. Baka naman UAAP can look into how FIBA games are conducted (it's not just the TV timeouts e). Last time, may FEU drummers, baka nga FEU drummers din yung last night.
Thanks for the info about the Tall Blacks. Yeah, maraming bago ata sa team nila. I agree with your first point also. We were giving Webster too many open looks. I kept shouting "stop going under screens" or "stop the drop coverage" haha - Gab
Also, yes. Ever since CTC took over, we haven't been a high 3pt percentage or 3pt rate team. We also don't have shooters. Si Mason siguro or KQ or Oftana but they get very limited playing time
Not passing the torch, if junemar wasn’t on the first five, opposing team’s bigs would’ve dominated and kai can’t handle those physicality inside alone, it requires another tough/strong big in junemar to contain presence in the paint, remove junemar on that game or any other games against euro teams and it would’ve been disastrous, cone like’s tough big man like cstand with ginebra to establish space under the paint. After a few minutes and everyone gets exhausted, that’s when kai is expected to dominate on the post but have kai absorb the banging inside the paint the whole game, it wont work so junemar is still needed, no passing of torch needed
Yes agree that JMF is still vital for the team but if Edu was there one could argue that we wouldve gotten some JMF mins. Also father time is catching up, the hope is we can rest him in lower tier games and develop young guns to eventually take over. -Maui
JMF still in his peak of his career, particularly in the international stage. Coach Tim would know how to maximize the three centers once EDU comes in the line up. Again. JMF is still in his prime. He's playing better than ever. Watch again his OQT games.
Kudos to our Gilas. The system of Coach Tim Cone becomes more comfortable for the team and it really produces results. Sabi din ni Coach Tim sa post game interview na hindi pa ito ang best lineup ng Gilas dahil Wala pa daw si Jamie Malonzo na perfect daw sana bumantay kay Webster because of his agility and athleticism. And wala pa si EJ Edu na very athletic din, can score in the paint, can cover the rim and can compliment Kai Sotto. I'm very excited for this Gilas Lineup. Okay na okay na to, bawas na lang si Amos and Japhet pag healthy na si Malonzo at Edu.
BTW, the play that Josh drew, according to Tim Cone, was between Brownlee and Kai. Josh failed to recognize that NZ has been sagging on Newsome. Good recognition by Ramos, also Kai who provided a screen
Idiot. It was a play with brownlee and a downscreen from dwight ramos to open up newsome and kai. Yun ung sinabi nya. Yun din mismo ung maririnig mo dun sa play ni Josh, (new pop out here, take the shot if open)
not really a “perfect” game from gilas but definitely a very bright sign for what’s to come in the future ! offensively gilas used to have so many “pilit” plays on offense whereas this game vs nz was more fluid and the offense is definitely more intentional. kumbaga hindi na eyesore panoorin yung offense HAHAH hoping to see adjustments on the defensive side tho
Great game Gilas! Disappointed with the "luto" kinda tweets from Corey Webster. Calls were balanced and didn't favored any teams. We won fair and square.
No complains on the defense. That's how coach Tim defense works. Protect the paint and let the other team beat you with low percentage shots. I will never doubt coach Tim defensive schemes.
Just because that's how it works, doesn't mean that it will work every time He even went away from it in the 2nd half by putting 4 perimeter players around Kai Sotto
I understand your point but we're up against NZ, they scouted their best shooters and calculated the odds. They picked their poison and it works. Are we going to do that against like a Steph Curry kind of a shooter? Probably not, I am just saying I trust Coach Tim's defensive mind and decisions. But yes, it we're going to point some negatives on this game it's the 3 points of NZ. We need QMB and Edu in the future for better perimeter defense.
Cone has said that he would prefer to have a larger pool and longer preparation time, but that it's not feasible. He has also said that the team has players in mind to replace injured or underperforming players.
Thats good to hear! Better to have more ready than to adjust when people are out. Injuries will happen for sure and people cant beat fathertime. Hopefully they get another naturalized as dominant but versatile as JB. -Maui
Keeping the core lineup for this program is the biggest thing given they only have a few days to prepare. CTC is like the teacher who only gave a refresher course to his students and the guys played well. Its the WINNING EXPERIENCE era now for Philippine Basketball.
Increasing the pool ain't gonna work or sustained or take the team to another levels. Increasing the pool it's not the focus for now. The focus now is improve the current 15 men of gilas that we have... More jelling, more familiarization. This team is tall from guards to forward to centers......CTC is the best coach kasi nakikita niya yung mga ingredients Ng isang formidable team Ingredients nito ay: 1. Perfect naturalize player in the presence of JB 2. CTC binds the balance of height and shooting. 3. CTC ay open sa possibilities. Phase out Junmar is not gonna help... He still can player... sobrang hype kayo Junmar is MVP and still strong... Drop defense lang naman problem kay Junmar... Siguro hindi pa ngayon... Tatanggalin ninyo agad Junmar dahil hindi naka pagpoints.... Alam ninyo napakababaw parin ninyo mag analyze.... Mabuti na lang hindi kayo naging call coaches... .... Wag ninyo pangunahan si Tim Cone.... Atsaka mag karoon Tayo gratitude kay Justin brownlee...hindi siya matakaw sa bola and he plays the system...at malakas loob niya....... Next generation ay tinatrabaho yan daghan dahan kaya nga may mga KQ at AMos eh...denedevelop yan dahan dahan... transition within the system.... Mag pasalamat kayo kay brownlee kasi nanalo tayo sa Asian games.... RELAX LANG KAYO KASI TRANSITION YAN AT JUNMAR MAGRERETIRE NA YAN...WAG NINYO PANGUNAHAN ANG SYSTEM NI CTC.... DARATING DIN YAN KAYA NGA MGA BATA KUNUKUHA KASI LONG TERM ITO.... KAYA NGA MGA BATA KINUKUHA EH.... PARA KAYONG CORRECT MASYADO MAG ISIP. INIISIP MA YAN NILA...... BE THANKFUL KAYO KAY JB, JUNMAR, .... Nang dahil lang tumatanda ay sisipain na. Panget Ng podcast ninyo... kailangan natin maging realistic...it's going to a process... Kayo kung mag isip parang masyadong ideal........ Wag po tayo masyado mag talitalinuhan.... Iniisip na yan nila CTC po..... Stop ravena, or any small point guards..... Hindi realistic ang maraming pool..... Putsa kaya nga palpak noon eh kasi pagusto Ng pool... Sir nag analyze ba talaga kayo? Kaya nga papanalo tayo kasi nakukuha na na ni CTC Yung formula.... Please manood na lang kayo... We need yung perfect people na kagaya ngayon... Alam mo sir maganda po results ng games ...kaya bakit papalitan ang mga matatanda kaagad agad....it will take transition...kaya nga ang current team ay mix Ng old and young... AYUSIN NINYO MAG ANALYZE!
Alam mo ba gaano katanda na mga players natin? Sa tingin mo mananalo pa rin tayo sa 2028 Olympics kapag halos 40 na sila, kahit si Junemar? Wala naman kaming sinabi na palitan na silang lahat hahahaha. Sabi namin increase the pool para may mga bata na matuto at eventually papalit sa mga vets come 2028 Pwede rin makinig from time to time 🤣 at pwede rin mag-isip 😂😂😂
Siguro sa 2028 ay wala si Junmar sa gilas... As of this moment ay nag e start na yung transition... Halimbawa sa KQ, Tamayo, Sotto, Amos, Ramos, Edu, ay mga young blood yan... Kailangan parin ng old blood to balance the system... Kahit mga European teams merong matatanda sa team nila. Look they are able play and score and blend well with the young blood..... Hindi lang puro shoot at angas kailngan dito kundi kailangan dito ay chemistry at maganda na samahan... Stop smaller point guards na panay dribble eh wala namang panalo as a team.... Ulitin ko what important is nag ble blend sila.... Nag kaka turuan ng tamang diskarte.... Wagka mag isip masyado na kung sinong super star na bata mag laro diyan ay kukunin natin kaagad .. Nag tataka ako sa inyo pinupuna ninyo yung mga matatanda... Remember ninyo po sir sa tatay natin tayo natuto... Sa mga guro natin tayo nagkakaroon Ng wisdom... Tinatrabaho yan nila CTC about diyan kasi tumatanda na si junmar at japeth... Wagkayo magmadali..... Tignan ninyo kasi yung brighter side kung bakit nagpapanalo tayo... Dahil yun sa mix Ng old and young blood.... Inuulit ko transition yan at dadaan sa process... Bakit noong nag karoon ang Lakers Ng puro superstar mmmm nag champion ba sila? Bakit kung Jordan clarkson sigurado kaba na mag champion tayo sa Asian games? Or matatalo natin new Zealand? .......eh noon nga Jordan clarkson tayo eh pero tinalo tayo ng Indonesia at Lebanon ...... Oo entitled tayo sa mga opinion natin.... Yang sayo po opinion mo lang yan .... Klarohin ko lang sir ha.... Hindi ibig sabihin na dahil naglalaro si junmar ngayon ay sigurado na maglalaro parin siya sa 2028.... Hindi ganun yun... Siguro magiging bangko na siya at patuloy gagabay sa mga kagaya ni sotto at edu at kung sino batang papalit. Main point ko wag ninyo masyado pangunahan ang style nila CTC ... Naka plano na yan hehehehe hindi naman siguro sila tanga na papalaruin pa nila Junmar kung di na kaya ng isang JUNMAR...INIISIP NA YAN NILA ......ISA PANG POINT KO PLEASE RESPECT THE OLD PLAYER...LEGACY SILA NG MGA UMUOSBONG NA MGA BATANG PLAYERS .. RESPECT them sa mga na contribute nila sa pilipinas..... HINDI YAN MGA KOTSE OR MOTOR NA KAPAG PINAGLUMAAN AY TINATAPON. Hindi lang puro panalo tinitignan dito kundi kung pano tayo nanalo....or kung pano tayo tinalo........... HINDI AKO FUNNY.... REALITY LANG TINITIGNAN KO DITO..... "ATSAKA NANONOOD LANG TAYO AT NAG COCOMENTS"... SA TOTOO LANG WALA TAYONG AMBAG....
@@bolerosph point ko nagpapanalo ang gilas ngayon. Pinaka mainam gawin ay support the system at mga plano ni CTC. Be thankful and makuntento sa ngayon. So far so good ang Gilas..... Normal lang may flaws ang team kasi walang perfect na team. Magpasalamat na lang tayo sa mga players....... Hindi kasi magandang pakinggan yung nagpaparinig na matanda na si or matanda na siya..... Toxic po pakinggan at unfair.... Halimbawa mabasa or marinig ito ng mga players na matatanda .... Mabasa nila itong mga komento ninyo?.... Diba masasaktan kayo sir?... Yang mga matatandang pinag sasabi ninyo ay nag pawis yan, nag sakpripisyo para sa bayan kahit wala silang hinihingi na bayad... Magpakatotoo tayo at magpakatao.
Before tau ang binubully sa shaded lane since we're lacking on height.though we have the speed now under CTC system we had a good mix of players and their chemistry was in full display, sa SBP please.maintauned this core of players and I'm sure papalag tau sa next FIBA World Cup in 2027,.sana hasain pa yung mga players also to be consistent on perimeter, bdw iba talaga ang system under CTC, from learning experience to winning experience at that partida sa.mga higher ranked team pa yan
Just a good shooting game for NZ, and we even won. They don't have an inside game vs Gilas which will be a problem in the next game if they will make less threes
Agree. That shooting percentage is not sustainable. But i assume they will address that in the next match-up. Maybe get a taller and more capable inside presence in the next windows - Gab
Ano kayang magandang Cheer for Gilas? Sana magkaroon para Electrifying yung cheering HAHAH I think kasama yung Adamson sa Drummers nakita ko kasi story ng AUDYO nasa MOA sila eh
Solid game plan but yes, we need to address perimeter defense. JMF is a solid player in the post, and we need someone like him to compete with the world's bigs, but he has never been a quick player even in his younger days (I think he's actually lost weight and plays at a quicker pace nowadays), and he gets destroyed on P&Rs. Much respect to him, but his time in the program should transition to coaching. I don't know if the SBP and the collegiate leagues will come to an agreement, but maybe some players should be invited to practice with the program during the summer/offseason. Maybe circling the dates on the competition calendar and getting advance commitments would help. As for the Fil-foreigns in the NBA, it would be a marketing boon as well if we can get them to scrimmage with Gilas in the NBA offseason. We need to catch a break with FIBA, most of our transgressions like sending overaged players to youth tournaments or sending an all-naturalized squad are already 30+ years in the past. Even so, there is enough talent to work with in our 28-and-under players. We already have NCAA/UAAP players who will be great for the international game. I don't have access to CESAFI games but I'm sure there are potential recruits there as well. Regarding the drums, etc. for Gilas home games we should do what works for us. It's actually not unique to the Philippines. Watch enough Euro games either in football or basketball, what we're doing is actually tame. In a recent Red Star (Crvena Zvezda) vs. Partizan match-up (called "The Derby" by both fandoms) in the EuroLeague there was an entire section of male fans jumping up and down with their shirts off and screaming almost non-stop. Mabait pa nga tayo. As for Webster and his social media comments (if true), okay lang, loser! 🤣🤣🤣Just kidding, ganyan talaga minsan, bitter-bitteran kapag talo. There will be some matches where even foreign officials have been pressured (especially boxing, cough, cough), but hey, the NZ team is free to place the game under protest if they're serious.
Agree with your thoughts! Thank you for sharing them hopefully you’re right we get a break from FIBA and get more players, who should br eligible to bec eligible. Kinda crazy considering a ton of nba players are getting passports late but get eligible for other teams. Maui
If QMB and Mike can really be eligible for Gilas.... We need big men that can defend those pick n rolls and zoom actions properly. JMF just went under ALL GAME. A Motor mike would hard show those picks and zoom actions all game long lol A QMB, Edu, Kai, Mike rotation.... 🙂 Matthew Wright and jordan heading. Have been balling overseas and sobrang shooter nila ngayon..
QMB I believe is already eligible for Gilas. Hopefully Mike and some other young fil-foreigns with good size and skill get their eligibilities. There are actually a ton of div 1 ncaa, nba caliber placers and actual nba players who are being penalized for not having a passport by 16. -Maui
We can JJ add Mandaquit 6'2, 190. 4 🌟 recruit and top 10 PG in the US. Played in the under 16 here in the US. If he dont play for under18, he will be eligible for Gilas. Passport holder.
This fellow signed with University of Washington. Currently ranked 47th in the incoming freshman class. I hope we can get him to train with the program during the offseason.
Corey was a bit arrogant when he said luto.. baka naka limutan that we beat latvia na nashock din.. nz cant even beat latvia.. dapat nag isip isip na sila possible silang matalo..
What is really ironic is he tried to commend Gilas in the post-game press con. Really two-faced and was dumb enough to not know how toxic Filipino basketball fans can be if he makes a rude statement
Possible additions na naging part na rin naman ng pool before are SJ, RJ, Heading, Abando, Will Navarro and maybe even Justin Baltazar. Sayang si Balti ginagawang wing na ni Tab dati eh. Si Stockton or even si Schonny could even be considered also for the guard spots. For big men asikasuhin na agad papers ni QMB and even Motor Mike. Maybe even Ange as a local haha which I think possible naman given his college stint here. Siguro in a few years time.
Oy nice choice ung stockton he has good size, better shooting and knows how to compete vs bigger talent. Actually is Thirdy and GDL bros are other options. Players who play international ball at higher tier leagues should be considered for the pool. -Maui
Yuki Kawamura and his back-up Togashi are just as small and even smaller. With the right system (both offense and defense), you can hide or make up for the height deficiency
@bolerosph That system for smaller guards, however, is the most hated system in the Philippines, DDO. People don't really know that DDO is the most used system in FIBA. It is just that, given how tall the Gilas players are, it just makes sense to use triangle and a lot of PnRs
Duh, first ever win against New Zealane? Gilas HAVE BEATEN the Tall Blacks before in 2015 when Terrence Romeo was still in the line-up. It was a come from behind win for Gilas
According to the article, he's willing to play if he gets a call up Of course, ang tanong ko: if he was issued a passport before he was 16, why have we only discovered it now? Haha. Anyway, past is past. Sana makalaro siya - Gab
@bolerosph I wss starstrucked kasi kaya hnd na nakapag Hi hehehe. I agree the crowd last night was electric! Bad trip lang yung mga feeling commentators na mga katabi. Na ang gusto lang is puro shoot ng bola. 😂
Bat kapag Gilas/National Team topic dito sa podcast sobrang nenega at daming bashers, and all. Pero sa college basketball, all goods naman. Halatang galing PBA fanboys e.
That would be a big question mark moving forward. I believe Edu is one and QMB could be. Hopefully we find a young player to naturalize with Brownlees’ heart and versatility. A tall task to find inmo. -Maui
patawa naman yung iba dito wag nalang daw mag comment. Ano gusto nyo sa podcast? panay puri at himod pwet? 🤣 While Gilas has been on the right track with Coach Tim Cone, the true tests are yet to come. We need to clean up that defense if we want to make the Olys. Scottie had a good game, maybe his best Gilas game against high level competition. But I still think he's a bad fit for Gilas. He can't play PG. He doesnt even bring down the ball often. He is at his best when he's playing offball, which makes him have to play beside a PG and leaves us undersized. He hit threes this game but we all know that that's not really his game, NZ was sagging hard off of him which clogs the lane. Our offense started so flat and everything changed when New (who is just so good) came in. As you guys mentioned I also hope we could get a deeper pool. The current guys are awesome but alot of them are way old. I like the following as cadets: JB -> Ron Harper Jr (similar game IMO, all around players who can play 2-4) New -> Thirdy (Thirdy can be a good POA defender, his shot is given too much hate, and IMO an underrated playmaker [hopefully can get that Euro BBIQ]) CJ -> BRP (I dont get why hes not there) Skati -> SJ (SJ can play international ball) Japeth -> Motor Mike (if eligible) JC -> Jared McCain 🤣 I think JMF will be here until the wheels fall off haha. But should be QMB if really eligible. And supposedly Kamaka Hepa also got a passport in time, like QMB. I hope he could come and play. (Same case for Dylan Harper and JJ Mandaquit, supposedly) I also hope that the KQ/Amos slots can be expanded to include guys like Veejay Pre, Francis Lopez, Jacob Bayla, Nic Cabañero, Jared Bahay, etc
Jared McCain baka naman hahaha. Lahat ng Pinoy sa NBA mga scorers (JC, Jalen Green, McCain) But yeah, we do hope all those get a chance to suit up for Gilas. So much talent in our country. Now is the time to utilize it when we have a unified program and system in place - Gab
Yes! But hopefully they expand the pool so that they can easily plug and play 9 to 10 solid players. Injuries and unforseen circumstances will happen we cant really on only a 14 man pool. -Maui
Still world Number 22 and has been to the olympics in recent years. Slovenia has a population of 2M. Does that mean we cant celebrate if we beat them in the future? Still a milestone for Gilas without a doubt. -Maui
Agree with Scottie being the heart and soul. GI-NEB-RA is the nation's pro basketball team.
The fact that we beat this Tall Blacks in a game where they’re in their element, that says a lot about our team.. it’s no fluke, our boys are really good
We've always been really good. We just needed to prepare better and have a system that adapted well to the international style
@@bolerosph We need the right coach for our national team! That's is the issue In the past. We need to credit coach Tim for all positive things happen in Gilas rn

The ball movement was just amazing! And only 8 turnovers! 😱
Gilas is now really a world beater. Kudos to the team!
Yes hopefully they continue the upward trajectory we should be at par with Japan! I believe we have the talent to be so-Maui
Underrated scorer talaga si Scottie. If you watch the PBA, he has worked so much on his threes that it can be a 50/50 ball and he can have 2-3 threes per game if he gets that groove. In the open court, or even in the half court, because of how athletic he is, most of the time he can lay it up.
His best talent to me is his versatility making him the perfect glue guy to any roster. His familiarity with CTC’s system also is another big plus. Hope that he continues to breakout and thrive. It was a bit of an adjustment for him esp during the fiba world cup. -Maui
What a Win by Gilas Pilipinas and finally vs the Tall Blacks of New Zealand, not just a win but we beat them when NZ was shooting the lights out! Coach Tim stayed true to his word that we can beat NZ and he pulled it off! This Win showed that against any opponent, we will have a great chance of winning, as long as we have a great coach, great system, and everyone is contributing and following the system.

Agree. No complacency vs Hong Kong. Play with the same intensity
I like the idea of expanding the pool. Not just to replace the aging veterans eventually, but to "fix" some lineup deficiencies which were apparent in this game despite the monumental win.
Perimeter defense should be the utmost priority. Tamayo, Oftana, Quiambao and Amos, despite their obvious talent, are questionable wing defenders. Almost all of them are converted bigs, which means their lateral movements are still a work in progress. A healthy Jamie Malonzo could fix this somewhat, but who else?
This is why I really think Mike Phillips should be added to the pool, and why I'm frustrated Francis Lopez hasn't really taken the next step towards being a fully fledged wing. Phillips, despite all his great attributes (motor, energy, rebounding, defense) will never be a knock down shooter, so he'll be there probably as a perimeter defensive specialist. Lopez potentially should have a better all around game, but I still don't see it when I watch him in the UAAP. His game is still predicated on his elite athleticism, putting his head down and going downhill for a drive, a dunk, or an acrobatic lay-up. He has shown flashes of good perimeter shooting and defensive prowess, but they come too few and far between. Hopefully he improves and takes that elusive "next step" soon because he is what this Gilas team needs, along with the aforementioned Motor Mike.
Sana nga tuloy tuloy na to. Go Gilas!!!
I agree with most of your points.
On Phillips, i agree he should be added to the pool but i don't think he'll be a perimeter defensive specialist. He's big enough to play power forward and center, and he can protect the rim. What's good about him is he can switch 1 thru 5 which is valuable in the international game
Agree also with Lopez. Magkasama tayo on waiting for that leap in his game haha - Gab
Lopez has the potential to be a difference maker, I'm also looking forward to his development. Phillips with his motor and positive vibe should be considered, he will add value in his natural position as power forward. As the game has already transitioned to switchable defenses, his mobility will be very useful in defending P&R's, while his physicality at the rim will always be a welcome addition. Looking forward, he should train with a shot doctor so that he can at the very least be a threat on catch-and-shoot jumpers.
CTC doesn't want to expand the pool though which is a sad reality.
I really hope that Lopez can turn into an elite perimeter defender and a good shooter. I think it would be his best route to get to high level leagues.
We proved that win against latvia was no fluke, happy to see Kai have more confidence on the court and brownlee just doing brownlee things and Scottie driving to the basket at di takot kahit mga 6'10 or 7'0 kaharap niya 😂
Also sana si QMB mainclude in the future sa squad kainis din we have to wait pa para kay motor mike 🥲
QMB, Mike Phillips, Francis Lopez, Veejay Pre, Cagulangan, Padrigao, Cabañero, etc. Lots of talent from the UAAP we can add to Gilas

Agree ako diyan. Matagal ko na sinasabi, KQ was not as good as Veejay Pre when he was a rookie. Bright future him 👌 - Gab
Sa wakas mg kabayan! Sa wakas! But let's not stop here. Let's at least try to be top dog in Asia first!
We agree!-Maui
Yes, been waiting for this ep! Gab, Gilas was indeed favored in this game. Alam ko sounds surprising 😂. But tho NZ has won the past 4 meetings, several vets/main gunners ang wala sa NZ team that Gilas faced yesterday (it was even Webster's debut as captain afaik). NZ also has a new head coach, as in kaka-appoint lang last month or sth. NZ also had flight issues (may halong malas din e). I thought disrespect kay Webster yung defensive coverage ng Gilas. Guards weren't fighting hard enough sa screens and the bigs kept dropping (bakit!!). I think Gilas should definitely improve on their defense sa guards like Webster and Huertas (weakness ba ng Gilas mga ganitong types of players?). Saka NZ also had JMF's number in this game, they really knew how to cover him (di magawa yung big-to-big actions we saw vs Latvia). And Kai and Harris were indeed teammates in Adelaide!
I think medyo mababa yung 3pt shooting % ng Gilas last night (imo under 30% is low for int'l ball). I also found Dwight's perform a bit lacking last night. Low scoring %, even missed open shots. Ok lang na he wasn't scoring if he's given the PG load and/or the biggest defensive load. Kaso last night, Scottie was the main PG and Newsome carried the biggest load on defense. I guess I just expected more from him kasi in my mind, siya pinaka-vet sa Gilas (from Coach Chot's team pa siya).
I hope Coach Tim would give significant minutes to young guys like KQ, Mason, and Tamayo in the next game vs HK. We need to get our younger players going. Gets ko naman why these players got only a few or no minutes vs NZ (Tamayo was given a chance, but he just did not deliver). And yeah, hope we could expand our national team pool so we have more guys who are familiar with the system na ready to play in case may injuries. Coach Tim is kinda dragging his feet sa pagkuha ng new members even just for the pool. About Brownlee's replacement, Bennie Boatwright is the slated candidate (he's in the process na). About QMB, na-excite rin ako when he said na he got a PH passport as a kid, pero I heard na may thing daw about how he did not continuously renew it and he actually had to apply for a new one when he was 20+ (baka need pa mag-submit ng docs/proof na his first PH passport was obtained before 16, parang case ni Malonzo). Lowkey umay na siguro si Japeth sa kakatawag sa kanya hahahaha, kahit nag-retire na sa Gilas. Salute to this guy!
P.S. Love how FIBA games start on time + mabilis pa. Wala halos game stoppage. Baka naman UAAP can look into how FIBA games are conducted (it's not just the TV timeouts e). Last time, may FEU drummers, baka nga FEU drummers din yung last night.
Thanks for the info about the Tall Blacks. Yeah, maraming bago ata sa team nila.
I agree with your first point also. We were giving Webster too many open looks. I kept shouting "stop going under screens" or "stop the drop coverage" haha - Gab
Also, yes. Ever since CTC took over, we haven't been a high 3pt percentage or 3pt rate team. We also don't have shooters. Si Mason siguro or KQ or Oftana but they get very limited playing time
Not passing the torch, if junemar wasn’t on the first five, opposing team’s bigs would’ve dominated and kai can’t handle those physicality inside alone, it requires another tough/strong big in junemar to contain presence in the paint, remove junemar on that game or any other games against euro teams and it would’ve been disastrous, cone like’s tough big man like cstand with ginebra to establish space under the paint. After a few minutes and everyone gets exhausted, that’s when kai is expected to dominate on the post but have kai absorb the banging inside the paint the whole game, it wont work so junemar is still needed, no passing of torch needed
Yes agree that JMF is still vital for the team but if Edu was there one could argue that we wouldve gotten some JMF mins. Also father time is catching up, the hope is we can rest him in lower tier games and develop young guns to eventually take over. -Maui
JMF still in his peak of his career, particularly in the international stage. Coach Tim would know how to maximize the three centers once EDU comes in the line up. Again. JMF is still in his prime. He's playing better than ever. Watch again his OQT games.
Kudos to our Gilas. The system of Coach Tim Cone becomes more comfortable for the team and it really produces results. Sabi din ni Coach Tim sa post game interview na hindi pa ito ang best lineup ng Gilas dahil Wala pa daw si Jamie Malonzo na perfect daw sana bumantay kay Webster because of his agility and athleticism. And wala pa si EJ Edu na very athletic din, can score in the paint, can cover the rim and can compliment Kai Sotto. I'm very excited for this Gilas Lineup. Okay na okay na to, bawas na lang si Amos and Japhet pag healthy na si Malonzo at Edu.
Aguilar is really retired but he is always called up because there is no better 6'9"/6'10" agile player in the Philippines
BTW, the play that Josh drew, according to Tim Cone, was between Brownlee and Kai. Josh failed to recognize that NZ has been sagging on Newsome. Good recognition by Ramos, also Kai who provided a screen
Idiot. It was a play with brownlee and a downscreen from dwight ramos to open up newsome and kai. Yun ung sinabi nya. Yun din mismo ung maririnig mo dun sa play ni Josh, (new pop out here, take the shot if open)
It was Thompson who inbound the ball.
not really a “perfect” game from gilas but definitely a very bright sign for what’s to come in the future !
offensively gilas used to have so many “pilit” plays on offense whereas this game vs nz was more fluid and the offense is definitely more intentional. kumbaga hindi na eyesore panoorin yung offense HAHAH hoping to see adjustments on the defensive side tho
Agree sir. The team had a subpar 3-pt shooting and NZ was really good in the. Could have been a blowout for Gilas
Agree with the offense. The chemistry is so apparent. Ang ganda ng ball movement and cutting. No more standing around
Great game Gilas! Disappointed with the "luto" kinda tweets from Corey Webster. Calls were balanced and didn't favored any teams. We won fair and square.
Yeah, the officials were not PH officials. They were FIBA referees naman haha
No complains on the defense. That's how coach Tim defense works. Protect the paint and let the other team beat you with low percentage shots. I will never doubt coach Tim defensive schemes.
Just because that's how it works, doesn't mean that it will work every time
He even went away from it in the 2nd half by putting 4 perimeter players around Kai Sotto
I understand your point but we're up against NZ, they scouted their best shooters and calculated the odds. They picked their poison and it works. Are we going to do that against like a Steph Curry kind of a shooter? Probably not, I am just saying I trust Coach Tim's defensive mind and decisions. But yes, it we're going to point some negatives on this game it's the 3 points of NZ. We need QMB and Edu in the future for better perimeter defense.
Cone has said that he would prefer to have a larger pool and longer preparation time, but that it's not feasible. He has also said that the team has players in mind to replace injured or underperforming players.
Thats good to hear! Better to have more ready than to adjust when people are out. Injuries will happen for sure and people cant beat fathertime. Hopefully they get another naturalized as dominant but versatile as JB. -Maui
The underperforming player needs to be replaced. This is for the country and they are professionals that need to accept that.
Keeping the core lineup for this program is the biggest thing given they only have a few days to prepare. CTC is like the teacher who only gave a refresher course to his students and the guys played well. Its the WINNING EXPERIENCE era now for Philippine Basketball.
No more learning experience! Hahaha
@ omsim. Masarap manood ng basketball sa panahon ngayon hehe
Increasing the pool ain't gonna work or sustained or take the team to another levels. Increasing the pool it's not the focus for now. The focus now is improve the current 15 men of gilas that we have... More jelling, more familiarization. This team is tall from guards to forward to centers......CTC is the best coach kasi nakikita niya yung mga ingredients Ng isang formidable team
Ingredients nito ay:
1. Perfect naturalize player in the presence of JB
2. CTC binds the balance of height and shooting.
3. CTC ay open sa possibilities.
Phase out Junmar is not gonna help... He still can player... sobrang hype kayo Junmar is MVP and still strong... Drop defense lang naman problem kay Junmar... Siguro hindi pa ngayon... Tatanggalin ninyo agad Junmar dahil hindi naka pagpoints.... Alam ninyo napakababaw parin ninyo mag analyze.... Mabuti na lang hindi kayo naging call coaches...
.... Wag ninyo pangunahan si Tim Cone.... Atsaka mag karoon Tayo gratitude kay Justin brownlee...hindi siya matakaw sa bola and he plays the system...at malakas loob niya....... Next generation ay tinatrabaho yan daghan dahan kaya nga may mga KQ at AMos eh...denedevelop yan dahan dahan... transition within the system.... Mag pasalamat kayo kay brownlee kasi nanalo tayo sa Asian games....
RELAX LANG KAYO KASI TRANSITION YAN AT JUNMAR MAGRERETIRE NA YAN...WAG NINYO PANGUNAHAN ANG SYSTEM NI CTC.... DARATING DIN YAN KAYA NGA MGA BATA KUNUKUHA KASI LONG TERM ITO.... KAYA NGA MGA BATA KINUKUHA EH.... PARA KAYONG CORRECT MASYADO MAG ISIP. INIISIP MA YAN NILA...... BE THANKFUL KAYO KAY JB, JUNMAR, .... Nang dahil lang tumatanda ay sisipain na. Panget Ng podcast ninyo... kailangan natin maging realistic...it's going to a process...
Kayo kung mag isip parang masyadong ideal........ Wag po tayo masyado mag talitalinuhan....
Iniisip na yan nila CTC po.....
Stop ravena, or any small point guards..... Hindi realistic ang maraming pool..... Putsa kaya nga palpak noon eh kasi pagusto Ng pool...
Sir nag analyze ba talaga kayo? Kaya nga papanalo tayo kasi nakukuha na na ni CTC Yung formula.... Please manood na lang kayo...
We need yung perfect people na kagaya ngayon...
Alam mo sir maganda po results ng games ...kaya bakit papalitan ang mga matatanda kaagad agad....it will take transition...kaya nga ang current team ay mix Ng old and young... AYUSIN NINYO MAG ANALYZE!
Hahahahah funny ka
Alam mo ba gaano katanda na mga players natin? Sa tingin mo mananalo pa rin tayo sa 2028 Olympics kapag halos 40 na sila, kahit si Junemar?
Wala naman kaming sinabi na palitan na silang lahat hahahaha. Sabi namin increase the pool para may mga bata na matuto at eventually papalit sa mga vets come 2028
Pwede rin makinig from time to time 🤣 at pwede rin mag-isip 😂😂😂
Siguro sa 2028 ay wala si Junmar sa gilas... As of this moment ay nag e start na yung transition... Halimbawa sa KQ, Tamayo, Sotto, Amos, Ramos, Edu, ay mga young blood yan... Kailangan parin ng old blood to balance the system... Kahit mga European teams merong matatanda sa team nila. Look they are able play and score and blend well with the young blood..... Hindi lang puro shoot at angas kailngan dito kundi kailangan dito ay chemistry at maganda na samahan... Stop smaller point guards na panay dribble eh wala namang panalo as a team....
Ulitin ko what important is nag ble blend sila.... Nag kaka turuan ng tamang diskarte.... Wagka mag isip masyado na kung sinong super star na bata mag laro diyan ay kukunin natin kaagad ..
Nag tataka ako sa inyo pinupuna ninyo yung mga matatanda... Remember ninyo po sir sa tatay natin tayo natuto... Sa mga guro natin tayo nagkakaroon Ng wisdom...
Tinatrabaho yan nila CTC about diyan kasi tumatanda na si junmar at japeth... Wagkayo magmadali..... Tignan ninyo kasi yung brighter side kung bakit nagpapanalo tayo... Dahil yun sa mix Ng old and young blood.... Inuulit ko transition yan at dadaan sa process...
Bakit noong nag karoon ang Lakers Ng puro superstar mmmm nag champion ba sila?
Bakit kung Jordan clarkson sigurado kaba na mag champion tayo sa Asian games? Or matatalo natin new Zealand?
.......eh noon nga Jordan clarkson tayo eh pero tinalo tayo ng Indonesia at Lebanon
...... Oo entitled tayo sa mga opinion natin....
Yang sayo po opinion mo lang yan ....
Klarohin ko lang sir ha.... Hindi ibig sabihin na dahil naglalaro si junmar ngayon ay sigurado na maglalaro parin siya sa 2028.... Hindi ganun yun... Siguro magiging bangko na siya at patuloy gagabay sa mga kagaya ni sotto at edu at kung sino batang papalit.
Main point ko wag ninyo masyado pangunahan ang style nila CTC ... Naka plano na yan hehehehe hindi naman siguro sila tanga na papalaruin pa nila Junmar kung di na kaya ng isang JUNMAR...INIISIP NA YAN NILA
......ISA PANG POINT KO PLEASE RESPECT THE OLD PLAYER...LEGACY SILA NG MGA UMUOSBONG NA MGA BATANG PLAYERS .. RESPECT them sa mga na contribute nila sa pilipinas.....
HINDI YAN MGA KOTSE OR MOTOR NA KAPAG PINAGLUMAAN AY TINATAPON.
Hindi lang puro panalo tinitignan dito kundi kung pano tayo nanalo....or kung pano tayo tinalo...........
HINDI AKO FUNNY.... REALITY LANG TINITIGNAN KO DITO.....
"ATSAKA NANONOOD LANG TAYO AT NAG COCOMENTS"... SA TOTOO LANG WALA TAYONG AMBAG....
Hahahahahhaaha still funny. Again, wala kaming sinabi palitan na sila ngayon. Babalik ko sayo: ayusin mo mag analyze 😂😂😂
@@bolerosph point ko nagpapanalo ang gilas ngayon. Pinaka mainam gawin ay support the system at mga plano ni CTC. Be thankful and makuntento sa ngayon. So far so good ang Gilas..... Normal lang may flaws ang team kasi walang perfect na team. Magpasalamat na lang tayo sa mga players....... Hindi kasi magandang pakinggan yung nagpaparinig na matanda na si or matanda na siya..... Toxic po pakinggan at unfair....
Halimbawa mabasa or marinig ito ng mga players na matatanda .... Mabasa nila itong mga komento ninyo?.... Diba masasaktan kayo sir?...
Yang mga matatandang pinag sasabi ninyo ay nag pawis yan, nag sakpripisyo para sa bayan kahit wala silang hinihingi na bayad...
Magpakatotoo tayo at magpakatao.
Before tau ang binubully sa shaded lane since we're lacking on height.though we have the speed now under CTC system we had a good mix of players and their chemistry was in full display, sa SBP please.maintauned this core of players and I'm sure papalag tau sa next FIBA World Cup in 2027,.sana hasain pa yung mga players also to be consistent on perimeter, bdw iba talaga ang system under CTC, from learning experience to winning experience at that partida sa.mga higher ranked team pa yan
Agree. Nakakapanibago na tayo na ang may size advantage 😁 sana tuloy tuloy na ang panalo
Just a good shooting game for NZ, and we even won. They don't have an inside game vs Gilas which will be a problem in the next game if they will make less threes
Agree. That shooting percentage is not sustainable. But i assume they will address that in the next match-up. Maybe get a taller and more capable inside presence in the next windows - Gab
Solid game yun tres ng tall blacks! Pero nagiging solid na system ng Gilas. Yun isang fake ni Kai parang galaw ni Olajuwon. Galing!
HMTU and Karera > Salamin Salamin > Pantropiko HAHAHA 🌸🌸

Ano kayang magandang Cheer for Gilas? Sana magkaroon para Electrifying yung cheering HAHAH
I think kasama yung Adamson sa Drummers nakita ko kasi story ng AUDYO nasa MOA sila eh
Ohh baka collection ng Uaap teams pala! Haha! But yes sana magkanconsistent cheer for Gilas!! -Maui
Solid game plan but yes, we need to address perimeter defense. JMF is a solid player in the post, and we need someone like him to compete with the world's bigs, but he has never been a quick player even in his younger days (I think he's actually lost weight and plays at a quicker pace nowadays), and he gets destroyed on P&Rs. Much respect to him, but his time in the program should transition to coaching. I don't know if the SBP and the collegiate leagues will come to an agreement, but maybe some players should be invited to practice with the program during the summer/offseason. Maybe circling the dates on the competition calendar and getting advance commitments would help. As for the Fil-foreigns in the NBA, it would be a marketing boon as well if we can get them to scrimmage with Gilas in the NBA offseason. We need to catch a break with FIBA, most of our transgressions like sending overaged players to youth tournaments or sending an all-naturalized squad are already 30+ years in the past. Even so, there is enough talent to work with in our 28-and-under players. We already have NCAA/UAAP players who will be great for the international game. I don't have access to CESAFI games but I'm sure there are potential recruits there as well.
Regarding the drums, etc. for Gilas home games we should do what works for us. It's actually not unique to the Philippines. Watch enough Euro games either in football or basketball, what we're doing is actually tame. In a recent Red Star (Crvena Zvezda) vs. Partizan match-up (called "The Derby" by both fandoms) in the EuroLeague there was an entire section of male fans jumping up and down with their shirts off and screaming almost non-stop. Mabait pa nga tayo.
As for Webster and his social media comments (if true), okay lang, loser! 🤣🤣🤣Just kidding, ganyan talaga minsan, bitter-bitteran kapag talo. There will be some matches where even foreign officials have been pressured (especially boxing, cough, cough), but hey, the NZ team is free to place the game under protest if they're serious.
Agree with your thoughts! Thank you for sharing them hopefully you’re right we get a break from FIBA and get more players, who should br eligible to bec eligible. Kinda crazy considering a ton of nba players are getting passports late but get eligible for other teams. Maui
Kai is a 7ft KQ. 3 ast away from a triple double
Showcased his passing skills last thursday. Happy they know how to utilize and and maximize his game. -Maui
Nuggets need a backup C 🤣
got your bolero shirt yesterday thanks, allen
Thank you for supporting us ♥️ we hope you like the shirt
Kai and Harris both played sa NBL ata.
Yun! That's why they seemed familiar with each other haha
Magkakampi pa sila sa Adelaide
I think we should trust Tim cone on who he wants to be in the pool and he knows what he is doing.Dont be a smart Alec like the panel is suggesting.
Hahahahaha oh the same argument of hindi naman kayo yung coach kaya wag na mag comment. Classic
Hindi ka naman podcaster, so why are you being a smart aleck? Hahahaha
If QMB and Mike can really be eligible for Gilas.... We need big men that can defend those pick n rolls and zoom actions properly. JMF just went under ALL GAME. A Motor mike would hard show those picks and zoom actions all game long lol A QMB, Edu, Kai, Mike rotation.... 🙂 Matthew Wright and jordan heading. Have been balling overseas and sobrang shooter nila ngayon..
QMB I believe is already eligible for Gilas. Hopefully Mike and some other young fil-foreigns with good size and skill get their eligibilities. There are actually a ton of div 1 ncaa, nba caliber placers and actual nba players who are being penalized for not having a passport by 16. -Maui
Gilas!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Harris is kai’s teammate in adelaide…
Parang more than 1 player from the NZ team may relationship si Kai. But good to know thanks fot the fact! -Maui
We can JJ add Mandaquit 6'2, 190. 4 🌟 recruit and top 10 PG in the US. Played in the under 16 here in the US. If he dont play for under18, he will be eligible for Gilas. Passport holder.
Niiiice. Let's hope he eventually makes it to the PH again
This fellow signed with University of Washington. Currently ranked 47th in the incoming freshman class. I hope we can get him to train with the program during the offseason.
Corey was a bit arrogant when he said luto.. baka naka limutan that we beat latvia na nashock din.. nz cant even beat latvia.. dapat nag isip isip na sila possible silang matalo..
Yes I think he deleted the post din eventually. But yes they had multiple chances to take this game away. -Maui
What is really ironic is he tried to commend Gilas in the post-game press con. Really two-faced and was dumb enough to not know how toxic Filipino basketball fans can be if he makes a rude statement
Salamin, Salamin > Pantropiko. 🌸🌸🌸
Hahahaha agree naman ako. But Karera is the best for me hehe - Gab
Possible additions na naging part na rin naman ng pool before are SJ, RJ, Heading, Abando, Will Navarro and maybe even Justin Baltazar. Sayang si Balti ginagawang wing na ni Tab dati eh. Si Stockton or even si Schonny could even be considered also for the guard spots.
For big men asikasuhin na agad papers ni QMB and even Motor Mike. Maybe even Ange as a local haha which I think possible naman given his college stint here. Siguro in a few years time.
Oy nice choice ung stockton he has good size, better shooting and knows how to compete vs bigger talent. Actually is Thirdy and GDL bros are other options. Players who play international ball at higher tier leagues should be considered for the pool. -Maui
Abando yes but abarientos medyo malabo.. he's too small. Rj could be a liability in defense.. but thats just my opinion..
Yuki Kawamura and his back-up Togashi are just as small and even smaller. With the right system (both offense and defense), you can hide or make up for the height deficiency
@bolerosph That system for smaller guards, however, is the most hated system in the Philippines, DDO. People don't really know that DDO is the most used system in FIBA. It is just that, given how tall the Gilas players are, it just makes sense to use triangle and a lot of PnRs
Duh, first ever win against New Zealane? Gilas HAVE BEATEN the Tall Blacks before in 2015 when Terrence Romeo was still in the line-up. It was a come from behind win for Gilas
That was not a Fiba tournament if im not mistaken that was a Jones Cup game? We also defeated a US team there. Inmo that doesnt count. -Maui
may mga nagrereklamo na maingay daw yung drums. Susme, mga hindi ata nanonood ng college basketball.
Hahahahahaha yeah, hindi siguro nanonood ng UAAP at NCAA. Hindi sanay

Pwedi na ba e consider si QMB mga sir to replace junemar if he retires.
Pwede na ata. According to spin.ph, he was issued a PH passport before he was 16 yrs old
@@bolerosph did he confirmed it?
According to the article, he's willing to play if he gets a call up

Not sure, but the drum beats sound like Adamson's😊

Bat kapag Gilas/National Team topic dito sa podcast sobrang nenega at daming bashers, and all. Pero sa college basketball, all goods naman. Halatang galing PBA fanboys e.
Don't worry. We're used to it 🤣 a lot of crazy comments always come in when we talk about Gilas 😝
Tall Blacks yung basketball team. Yung rugby team yung All Blacks
I stand corrected 🤣 sorry na. They sound the same kasi hahaha - Gab
Who will replace Aguilar, Fajardo & JB?
That would be a big question mark moving forward. I believe Edu is one and QMB could be. Hopefully we find a young player to naturalize with Brownlees’ heart and versatility. A tall task to find inmo. -Maui
Unity only for Gilas please haha
Of course 😂 yung isang Unity kasi sumabog sa mukha ng mga Pilipino hahaha
patawa naman yung iba dito wag nalang daw mag comment. Ano gusto nyo sa podcast? panay puri at himod pwet? 🤣 While Gilas has been on the right track with Coach Tim Cone, the true tests are yet to come. We need to clean up that defense if we want to make the Olys.
Scottie had a good game, maybe his best Gilas game against high level competition. But I still think he's a bad fit for Gilas. He can't play PG. He doesnt even bring down the ball often. He is at his best when he's playing offball, which makes him have to play beside a PG and leaves us undersized. He hit threes this game but we all know that that's not really his game, NZ was sagging hard off of him which clogs the lane. Our offense started so flat and everything changed when New (who is just so good) came in.
As you guys mentioned I also hope we could get a deeper pool. The current guys are awesome but alot of them are way old. I like the following as cadets:
JB -> Ron Harper Jr (similar game IMO, all around players who can play 2-4)
New -> Thirdy (Thirdy can be a good POA defender, his shot is given too much hate, and IMO an underrated playmaker [hopefully can get that Euro BBIQ])
CJ -> BRP (I dont get why hes not there)
Skati -> SJ (SJ can play international ball)
Japeth -> Motor Mike (if eligible)
JC -> Jared McCain 🤣
I think JMF will be here until the wheels fall off haha. But should be QMB if really eligible.
And supposedly Kamaka Hepa also got a passport in time, like QMB. I hope he could come and play. (Same case for Dylan Harper and JJ Mandaquit, supposedly)
I also hope that the KQ/Amos slots can be expanded to include guys like Veejay Pre, Francis Lopez, Jacob Bayla, Nic Cabañero, Jared Bahay, etc
Jared McCain baka naman hahaha. Lahat ng Pinoy sa NBA mga scorers (JC, Jalen Green, McCain)
But yeah, we do hope all those get a chance to suit up for Gilas. So much talent in our country. Now is the time to utilize it when we have a unified program and system in place - Gab
