We are 4-0, we should be happy. Lets support our team ang applaud them because of their big heart. We could have lost that game against japan but we won. Thanks to Douhit, jeff chan and Gary David. Anlaysis should be made with the performance of L.A tenorio (Although he can score, but the international brand of play just would’nt suit him), and Enrico Villanueva. This is just my observation. Baracael was’nt just as effective when he was with the original smart gilas team. Anyway, these are all experimentations before the actual qualififying tournament and we have a lot of time to adjust. Hoping for the betterment of Philippine Basketball and Philippine sports in general. I will forever be a PBA fan, but i supported the smart gilas 1 100 percent or even more. im probably one of those who dreams that one day we could bring those glory days back. Ariba Philippine Team. Arriba Tau Gamma Phi! ( sorry, I just could’nt Help it ). Good Day to all!
does this games have a replay on television?.
what day?
what time?
please i want to watch the games.
We know that we lack the height that we need in International Competition. Without Douhit, we can’t win big games. I just hope that the coaching staff will give Douhit a back up for the centre position with heights from 6’11 up.
The next thing is that our 2, 3, 4 positions must also be taller than what we have now in the current pool of players playing in the Jones cup. I admire Chan, Fonacier and David for their outside shooting threat. Pero ang 4 position natin, sana may matangkad pang madagdag na athletic. Bear in mind that Iran, Lebanon, and Jordan are tall teams including China.

Marami pa bago pasok sa PBA kaya sana pagisipan pa nila mabuti. Chemistry is number one, pero kung maliliit lang ang line up, what’s the point.
L.A Tenorio is not the type of player for international Game like this he so careless with the ball..Enrico Villanueva really in effective player. he seem to be the most Kenkoy player in that line up..hope Coach Reyes will find player to replace the 2-player for future tournament.
hey!
u are wrong l.a tenorio is also best point guard!
para sa akin mas magaling si l.a to make or create play kay jimmy alapag lalo na sa transition offince at to presure defence sa point guard ng kalaban.
lahat ng point guard sa PBA magaling at puwede sa fiba basketball!
Great comeback win and good points Mr. butch. This team was formed out of the willingness of each player to commit with the GILAS team. Other and better players were invited but were not allowed by their mother teams or the players begged off. If you notice there are no players of SMB owned franchises. Realistically, we could have formed a stronger team. There are a few players who are just sitting on the bench or have played sparingly. Our rotation is just 8-9 strong. Imagine if we had a very deep bench. So for a 4-0 start and a win against Korea, Japan and Jordan so far, hats off to our team. We are expected to win against Lebanon and Taiwan-A but Iran and USA will be difficult especially with our shallow bench. Congrats to the GILAS 2 team and more power to PH basketball and PH sports!
Agree and great analysis as well..
kapit bisig lang lahat they won a jones cup!and more power to all

Gilas 2 is much deeper team than Gilas 1.. We just need another big man to help Douhit.. Honestly for now, we just dont have a talented big like my idol asi taulava who plays like a seven footer and is a monster on court..fajardo is too slow, jr. Reyes is not taht aggresive.. He is big, but c’mon jr. Reyes i know you can be a monster ala charles barkley for the gilas team.. I have really high hopes this time for our national team.. Pinoy Pride..!! China, iran are now shivering..wacthout Gilas will hurt you.. Hahahaha.. Goodluck
All close games w/o Douthit baka walang panalo Philippines. Sobra liit ng line up si Tenorio & Villanueva wala sure ball dami p error. Si Norwood perfect sa intl at 6’5 magaling mg pt guard. Ano plan (B) mo Chot Reyes if na injured or fouled out si Duuthit for sure wala!!!! Dapat mas madami ka Center na matangkad tulad nila Slaughter,Yancy,Aguilar etc. Hangat ang PBA ay 6’5 center na & forward 6’3 wala kamote sa intl. Problema din ng coach yan yung matatangkad natin binabangko imbis na turuan & maximized yung height. Ang pinaglalaro mga guards na 5’11 shit….basketball is a height game hinde agawan buko!!!!!
