A win for Gilas. But watta UGLY win. And the price they paid for it — Andray Blatche’s broken stem! If they play like that against Iran tomorrow, better pack up already! Let’s just hope Dondon lits his fire against Iran. And Andray’s leg is not gimpy tomorrow. AND PLEASE– DO IMPROVE YOUR FREE SHOOTING!! Had you lost against Japan today, it’s because of your DISMAL FREE SHOOTING! NAKAKAHIYA KAYO. PROFESSIONAL CAGERS YET CAN’T MAKE TWO FREE SHOTS if their lives depend on it! SHAME!
Jordan hails the best player of all time, but missed once, twice , or more. .. GILAS players pa kaya na hindi run perfecto total ni Jordan. if you want wear Gilas Jersey, ikaw maglaro. lets see kung ano magagawa mo .

Nice comment…nde pa pde magpasalamat ka at lumaban at nanalo sila para sa bayan? 🙁
nice ka au bay
Sayang ang playing time ni Hontiveros, naghihintay lang ng bola, ang sama ng style. Ang dapat sa isang shooter mag move without the ball para may changce syang ma libre.
hahays kayo talaga oo, puro magaling., magaling pa sa naglalaro., jeje!
