win or lose, happy pa rin at least we have achieve to be in the final 4 after 24 yrs of try to push through our dreams… Much worst is iran they are undefeated but they are defeated by jordan and lose thier chance to the final four. What a come back for jordan they play well than smart gilas coz they study our play well. So they win. Let it be our lesson for our defeat. Smart gilas not sa smart enough to win the game but they were great to be in the final four. I still believe in thier skill and talents we must support smart gilas specially they need encouragement to win the next game.
You guys are disapointing. You beat jordan twice in this tournament, not to mention in jones cup too. How come u lost today? Unbelievable. You guys are inconsistent, believing after the fist half things are gonna get better but it didn’t..infact, it gotten worse. Jordan’s 3 pointers are going in when in fact in the 1st half they can’t make one single 3. I don’t believe this smart gilas program any more. You guys just play in the pba…sorry to say but your skills and mindset you guys have right now are not for international competition.
puro ka satsat wala ka naman ginawa.. at least ang smart gilas nag compete at lumaban! eh ikaw? hanggang puna ka lang ba?
Still hoping they can bag the bronze medal.. WIN or LOSE keep your heads up.
so much with the hatters huh!, easier said than done my disappointed, instead of uplifting gilas spirit to be more focus you are just adding crap, if you have nothing good to say better shut your smart ass down.
@Disapointed ikaw na maglaro sa fiba, ipagchampion mo ang pilipinas hah? at anong mahina ang Jordan? malakas din na team yan tinalo nila ang Iran.. please support the Philippine team kahit pano may progress ang basketball.. puro mga utak talangka.. pumasok na nga sa semis hanggang ngayon reklamo pa rin ng reklamo… ah alam ko na bakit kayo insecure sa Philippine team siguro isa kayo sa kampon ni Lourd De Veyra ano? na walang maipanalong laro sa liga ng basketball hahaha
You know its been quite disappointing but still,through out the game,specially when we cut(Team Jordan) there lead up 1pt,and i thought while watching the game,,we will go strong but sad to say we lost but still have the chance to grab the bronze tom,and hoping for the best,but i wish for the next FIBA championship our team is much prepared and much taller than our team today,wishing all the best for tomorrows game and for the (COACHES)specially on the head COACH you did a splendid job of making this team believe on them selves and filipino’s are hoping for the FUTURE,keep up the good work and make your team STRONGER and taller NEXT time,, thanks!!!
pls select the best from the PBA (dream team) like they did in the NBA plus our naturalized Filipinos and i am confident we can defeat powerhouse China. in fact in this tournament we were so close to bagging the championship…MABUHAY ANG PILIPINO!
@Disapointed- cgurado bagong tao ka palang sa larangan ng basketball and international competetion. ang makarating sa FIBA semis ay di madali. ang forcast nga ng TEAM hanggang 5th place pero sureness 4th place tayo (kung matatalo ng Korea)Guyz….wag tayong basta na lang maka pag post masabi lang…I AM VERY PROUD SA PHIL. GILAS…honestly naging THREAT kayo sa lahat ng team……….
tanga ka!!!! bat hnd nlng ikaw ang maglaro!! atleast cla!!! umabot! ng semis! eh ikaw puro ka sat2!!wla nmn ngawa!!i bet you dont even know how to drible!the ball!!!you! jerk!!!!!y dont you be proud of gilas philiphines they are raising our flag to prove that we’re not just an ordinary team!!we do have the guts!!! to play international competion!!
just wish you could win the thrd place tomorow.because that wil be the key to entry the wild card fiba competition…gudluck smart gilas..give ur best on tomorrows game..it could be korea..no matter what happen..you achieve the final 4 spot after 25 years..nothing to be ashamed off,,heads up.filipino people are proud of you..
smart gilas have adopted the “pba yabang” attitude kaya they lost!!
Good job pa rin sa Smart Gilas… Alam naman namin yung mga effort nyo at yung mga hardwork nyo… KAYA NATIN PA YAN… WE CAN DO IT…… GO.. GO.. PILIPINAS….
what a disgrace. smart gilas is indeed a big dis-appointment.
Smart Galis is a joke. They should better stick to PBA for there is where their skills do belongs.
Always relying on the Imports and Fil-am’s A-game. Aguilar should’ve been in the game playing interior defense helping douthit to dismantle Jordan’s interior passing and offensive rebounds, he would’ve been fresh off the bench considering he didn’t play the last game, compare to Williams who was obviously tired. Lassiter should’ve given a go-signal to take it more against Dagles (i’m not sure of the spelling), who already had 4 fouls with on the last 18mins of the game. Toroman is the best coach we’ve had for Philippine international basketball since Joe Lipa, but today, he was mediocre for he was outcoached by his counterpart.
i bet you dont even know how to drible the ball!!!instead o critizising them!!y dont you give them a 2 thums up!!! for making it to the semis!!!things are’nt always going ryt!!there are mistakes!!lapses!!!just like iran!!they supose to play!!the championship game!!!for being champion in asia for 3 years!! but they failed!!!its becausethe ball is round and is unpredictable!!! atleast they
gave there bst shot!!!
we need another Ron Jacobs…hopefully
@disappointed. you better shut your mouth. it happens in a game. there were mental lapses on part of the players as they missed a lot of easy shots. mental lapses also on the part of the coaches. they let lassiter took a lot of shots when it isn’t going in and toroman did not even do a necessary step to replace him. toroman should have let aguilar play as jordanians are tall guys. we might have a better chance of rebounding the ball. I still believe in this smart gilas program. they were together just in 2009 but I may say they already achieved a lot including making it to the final four for fiba asia. good luck for the game tomorrow. if we win, at least we can still play for olympic qualifier but with slim chance as opponents there are tougher and taller.
Sana po manalo kayo bukas!!! Huwag niyo po pakinggan yung nasa taas na hindi man lang maispell ng tama yung name niya… Simula po ng mabuo ang team naniniwala ako na someday maabot din niyo ang itaas dahil masipag naman po kayo lahat at dedicated… Win or lose ang mahalaga po ibinigay niyo lahat ng makakaya niyo balang araw magiging #1 din kayo!!!
Mabuhay Pilipinas!
Go Fight!
P.S.
