@DBEST MAN .. tama ka ang huling Best finish ng Philippine team ay yung 1990 Philippine team headed by Coach Jaworski na isang linggo lang ang practice, very small lineup pero buo ang loob.. si Paras naalala ko nag drive at nag dunk sa harap ng 7’7 player ng north korea.. at 6’5 lang ang tallest player natin.. very ironic nga eh considering na mas kulang tayo sa height noong araw at mas less yung athleticism ng mga players tapos under paid pa yung mga PBA players at halos isang linggong practice lang naka sungkit pa ng silver medal dahil nga puso at buo ang loob ng bawat isa sa kanila.. ok at agree naman ako sa mga comments ng iba na mag train ng big men para lumakas ang center at power forward positions natin gagaling din yung mga yun pero dapat ang pinaka unang titingnan sa player na i-train ay yung puso at buo ang loob… kasi kahit mapagaling mo nga pero kulang sa puso every time na end game ay lagi nalang magkakalat ang team pinas..
isa sa mga gusto kong team ay yung philippine team ni Tim Cone kahit na 4th place finish lang tayo kasi kulang sa practice time parang 1year preparation lang yata yun eh pero hindi tayo nag kulang sa height and skills.. except for the Center position (Aquino, Seigle and Feihl)lahat ng players sa lahat ng position ay pwede mag 3 points at buo ang mga loob nila diba nga nakipag upakan sila sa mga players ng NCAA division 1 college team sa USA.. ang main problem lang nila noon ay kulang sa praparation at hindi sanay sa depensang FIBA kaya puro fouls (nakaka sira ng momentum) sanay kasi sila sa depensang PBA na wrestling oriented defense.. kung nabigyan lang ng support at oras yung team ni Tim Cone noon at hindi agad binuwag kahit 4th place finish lang sigurado tinatalo na noon pa man natin ang China at iba pang strong ASIAN teams kasi feeling ko perfect ang system ni Cone for International Basketball.. Hindiako fan ni Cone ha Galit nga ako sa kanya for the longest time dahil tinatalo nya lagi mga favorite teams ko.. pero kung titingnan mo talaga at i review yung mga centennial team games nya makikita nyo point ko..
Even USA needs enough practice now a days, the game is different now. You are so full of it. If Paras and company find the “fountain of youth,” even your Jaworski, do you really believe they can win silver in FIBA playing the present teams in Asia? Maybe if Samboy (my idol) were 6’4″, Patrimonio were 6’4″ with a wider body or 6’7″ with the same frame, Caidic if he could only dribble like a guard and Calma being over 6 feet, maybe we’ll stand a chance. We should not live in the past because people in the 90′s era were also talikng about the same heart-breaking “what if” situation, fans were talking about the silver medal finish with Caloy Loyzaga in the world championship because we were a basketball power… A basketball power during the time when most countries doesn’t know how to play basketball.
Duane Bishop, i do get your point if you only read my reply in the other page.. I answered that in fairness to smart gilas team i expected the end results. If only the PBA players were there to practice with them for at least 2 years we would have placed higher and only then would Coach Rajko’s system work. I am a fan of Basketball and understand clearly how basketball is played today as compared to the early years. I am not living in the past glory days of PBA legends, i merely pointed out that the Korea loss was the result of nasty Filipino “NBA” style basketball habits (which is one on one).. I also pointed out that if Cone’s centennial team was prepared and supported like the Smart Gilas was we would have placed higher than 4th as you see that team did not lack in height only in preparation our average height of that team was 6’7 and from the power forward down to the guards everyone could shoot from the outside. They were only prepared for like a year.. how would you expect them to place higher as they were not a cohesive unit as seen in their plays?(but they still ended up 4th place) The basketball world has caught up with the NBA today and I truly support and believe Coach Rajko’s system because he has beaten the Mighty China at a time when we thought that China was Invincible. And coach Jong Uichico’s national team that lost to Korea who eventually went on to beat China? same thing happened to us we faltered in the end game.. but that Korea team had the same average height as our national team at that time. I also pointed out that there are other PBA players who are not suited for the pros but are very effective in International brand of basketball..
My reply was for dBestman 😉 I know u have a good point, nardski…

tama…
Wag na yan PBA!!!!!!!!!!!! PILIPINAS kung PILIPINAS! Get money from all politicians na magnanakaw and Jueteng (legal & kunyari legal). Sign 14 -16 players for Gilas 8 years contract.
I agree with the longer years of contract that you’ve said. Kaylangan focused on one thing lang ang maglalaro for the Philippine team, or at least meron silang priority everytime na kaylangan sila.
Lahat naman ng ipinasok ni Toroman sa game ay may skills, and they do good with those skills that they have. Wag na natin ipoint out masyado yung about sa height, hey guys look at the bright side, average height natin is 6’3 but we’re top four sa FIBA-ASIA, di hamak na mas maganda ang tayo natin ngayon unlike the previous years. Maybe the height factor plays a role, but its not a major role. Kung mas matagal lang ang naging dedication and preparation ng lahat ng player ng team for the team, maybe we couldve gotten higher up the ladder. Ang kulang sa kanila ay yung PLAYING-TIME-TOGETHER. Mas magiging maganda ang ikot ng bola, at hindi lang focused kay Douthit ang opensa, kapag alam ng ibang players ang lahat ng plays at ready sila mag step up at any given day, walang magiging shaky fingers na problema pag crunch time.
Coach Toroman must stay. Continuity is the key, hindi yung palit ng palit. The system is there, all they have to do is immerse themselves (the players) into it and be totally familiarized. Maybe add a few bigger and quicker wingmen? And play more international basketball. Kulang lang tayo sa international exposure. The meltout in the 4th quarter is normal and expected. The players werent bonded enough and they dont know the feeling of losing in the dying minutes of the game. You can’t expect a player to have nerves of steel in the crucial endgame kung first timer lang siya… Even PBA player K.Will missed his FTs because he felt the pressure… I am proud of the team kasi kahit 4th place finish lang tayo, we can see na everybody gave their hearts out.
Isa lang ang gumugulo sa isip ko: What happened to Japeth Aguilar? I know he’s on the bench for a reason… What seems to be the reason? I know Baracael was benched because he’s a step slow sa depensa. Is Japeth a step slow too? Hindi ba macompensate ng height nya ang quickness na hinahanap ni Toroman? hmmmm… I hope somebody could explain this….
Smart Gilas, on to 2013 FIBA ASIA CHAMPIONSHIPS! 🙂
6/3 + IMPORT MALAKAS TALAGA YUN
1990 ASIAN GAMES 1 WEAK LANG NAG PRAKTIS 6/4 LANG ANG CENTER SILVER MEDAL NAMAN JAWO YUNG COACH KUNG NILAGAY MO C Douthit NOON BAKA TINALO NATIN YUNG IBANG TEAM SA OLYMPICS HINDI LANG CHINA
KSE KUNG CHINA LANG C CODINERA LANG ANG KULANG NON KYA NG TALUNIN YUNG CHINA
BENCH PLAYERS LANG C AGUILAR HABANG BUHAY KAY TOROMAN AT C BARACAEL
PURONG PINOY DAW KASI
Agree ako sayo Sam na continuity is the key! kung totoong hindi nagwowork yung system ni Coach Rajko eh bakit natin natambakan yung korea sa 1st half? ibig sabihin nyan the “System” works!paano nakahabol ang korea at natalo tayo? ans.- sobrang kumpyansa kaya tayo nahabol.. nang mahabol tayo tsaka tayo nagkalat at bumalik yung mga bad habits (one on one)(sabi nga ni Freddie Roach: “I don’t care what Flyd Sr. says how Ricky Hatton has changed his fighting style for Manny, once he gets hit he will start fighting like the old Ricky hatton does”) kulang ang oras at panahon ng PBA players sa smart Gilas at kulang din ang International exposure ng mga ito kaya pag abot sa end game hindi mo masisi ang mga ito dahil nakakalimutan nila ang system at natataranta.. expected ko ang resulta pero natuwa ako sa nakita kong improvement ng Gilas as compared to 2 years ago sobrang layo! all praise ako kay MVP sana ipagpatuloy nya yung supporta sa Smart Gilas.. Sana lang palitan na ng PBA yung pro rules nila into FIBA rules para naman makahabol tayo sa world basketball system at IQ, at FIBA trained lahat ng referees… tulad ng mga europeans kaya sila madalas ang champions eh.
mythical 5 ng PBA dapat isali…at dapat isabay si Douthit at TAulava inside…
Laki na ng ibinagal ng laro ni Taulava… dati sobrang dominant nya… ngayon step slower na cya palagi… ang upside nalang nya talaga eh ang lakas ng katawan, hindi papabangga kahit sa 7-footer…

2 players people aren’t talking about are Chris Banchero and Gabe Norwood. Both players would be valuable additions. Banchero has NBA talent and is some what forgotten because he was hurt for SPU but he is BIG TIME. Norwood can play and is a proven player in the PI. Both can make a impact. Maybe getting another naturalized player could help as well. There is also a guy from Shoreline College in Shoreline Wa who is the real deal and someone to keep a eye on
FILAM NANAMAN WLA YAN
i disagree 6’3 is not enough 4a forward/shooting guard. lahat ng bansa nag improve sa recruitement ng teams in terms of height. W/o douthit wala tayo sa fiba ranks. thats reality! Douthit should be in an MVP FIBA by statistics. Kahit mag lagay pa filams pa dyan kung under size wala din. nagulat ako 2 guards na below 6ft sinabay tapos frwrd 6’3 ayun mismatch sa 6’7 r 6’8 frwrd. height is matter n’ bzball it’s not a football or rugby games. Aguilar,Slaughter,Ramos,de vance,-Parks,norwood,Santos azz s.guards big plus sa Gilas if nasa team. Nway i believe mz ok pa rin ang foreign coach kesa local 4me.
Good Job on Smart Gilas, 4th place is better than no place at all, at least Philippines ranking for 2011 will be far more better than the last. Next step is acquire taller, stronger players with shooting and wrestling skill…. and also maybe try Naturalizing NBA players!!!
e di mga amerikano lang din ang maglalaro para sa Pinas. honestly, ayoko yung addition ni douthit. wala kasi talaga yung dugong pinoy ni isang kikiting. si lutz at lassiter ay fil am. si douthit pure american. pwede naman na pure pinoy and fil ams ang lineup ng team wag lang talaga yung mga ibang lahi.
HINDI NA DAPAT MAG KUHA NG MGA PBA PLAYERS MOST OF THEM PA POGI LANG MATAKOT MA INJURED, LIKE JAMES YAP NKA LARO NA NG INTERNATIONAL NOON HINDI NMAN MSYADO NAG SCORE. HINDI NILA ALAM KUNG MAY DEDICATION SILA SA NATIONAL TEAM AND IF MKA PASOK TAYO SA OLYMPICS MAY EASY OPPURTUNITY SILA NA MA SCOUT AND DRAFT AS NBA PLAYERS MAS MAGANDA PA YON AT MAS PROUD TAYO KUNG MAY MKA PASOK NA PILIPINO SA NBA. MAS MAGANDA MAG KUHA NG FRESH GRAD COLLEGE PLAYERS NA MAS BATA AT MABILIS WITH HEART TO PLAY FOR THE NATION. AT IPA SIGN NG 8 YEARS CONTRACT WITH THE TEAM. IT TAKES LONG YEARS TO BUILD A GREAT TEAM AND EXPOSURE TO INTERNATIONAL PLAYS. WLA TAYONG PLAYERS NA MKA SHOOT KAHIT DIKID ANG DEPENSA. KABADO PARIN TAYO LALO NA SA FREE THROWS, ESPECIALLY WILLIAMS AND RACELA NOON. EXTEND THE GILAS PROGRAM SIR MVP AND MAKE US NATION PROUD IN THE FUTURE.
KAY JAWORSKI DATI MAMAMATAY KA SA LARO GANON DATI ANG BASKETBALL SA PNAS
OK THANKS FOR HAVING MARCUS IN OUR TEAM AND LIFT US UP, PERO SA TOTOO HINDI SYA PINOY, MARAMI TAYONG PLAYERS NA MALAKI NA PURONG PILIPINO NA WILLING TO BE TRAINED FOR INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION. AS I OBSERVE SA KOREA, IRAN AND CHINA ANG KANILANG BIGMEN CENTER ARE NATIVE SA KANILANG COUNTRY, PERO SA NAKITA KO SA GAME HINDI SILA NAGA DEPENDE SA CENTER NILA MOST OF THE FORWARD AND GUARDS ARE THE SCORERS. FOR EMERGENCY LNG KAILANGAN ANG MGA CENTER NILA AT DEFENSE.DPAT PALAKASIN NATIN ANG LOOB NG MGA PLAYERS NATIN TO DEVELOPED THEIR GAME IN ACTUAL SITUATION. PARA LALABAS ANG KANILANG GALING. NAPANSIN KO SA GILAS SA SEMIS PURO KAY MARCUS NLNG NAGA DEPENDE ANG OFFENSE AT SI ALAPAG ANG MAY PAKANA PARANG PBA STYLE. KAHIT NAHIHIRAPAN NA SI MARCUS PINIPILIT PARIN NYA MAG SCORE KASI KAILANGAN AYON NAPAGOD SYA. WHY NOT SPREAD THE OFFENSE AND SHOOT. SYANG SI AGUILAR AT BARACAEL HINDI NAGAMIT BKA SILA SNA ANG SPARK , AT MGA GUARD NATIN NA SILA BARROCA, CASIO AT CHRIS TUI SILA SANA MAGALING MAG SET-UP NG PLAYS PERO NATABUNAN NA SILA NI ALAPAG AT NAGING READABLE NA ANG MGA PLAYS.
VERY TRUE…
Get rid of Chot Reyes for comvincing Raiko Toroman to give more minutes to his Talk N Text players, puro papogi lang naman si Chot Asungot.
C- Slaughter
PF – Douthit
SF – Aguilar
SG – Parks Jr.
PG – Ravena
OTHER NEW BLOODS TO BE CONSIDERED FROM THE COLLEGIATE RANKS:
F/C – Fajardo – 6’10
SF – Ramos (FEU – can shoot 3s)/Van Opstal (DLSU – can be a defensive stopper because of athleticism) – both 6’7
SG – Ferrer(UST)/Torres(DLSU) – both 6’4 and can shoot long range up to 3
PG – RR Garcia – 6’0 konting practice pa as playmaker but can score
maganda rin etong line-up na ‘to…
