    napakalaki ng pag kakaiba ni dillinger kay mercado….sabihin na ntn mas maasahan c dillinger sa defense kesa kay mercado….pero pag dating sa scoring at pag kuha ng foul galing sa opponent…mas attentive c mercado…c dillinger may scoring nmn din cia kaso pag nag drive umiiwas cia sa hard contact…nd 2lad ni mercado cnsakyan nia ang mga malalaking opponent in the air…pra makakuha ng foul at extra shot….un cgro ang kulang sa team…..sana manalo tau bukas….GL

      ang hirap kasi pag mga professional players ang kinuha, masyadong maingat, ayaw makipagbanggaan baka ma-injured. siyempre mas iisipin nila yung team nila sa pba kasi malaki kinikita nila dun. kulang lang talaga sa puso ang mga players. sana kumuha ng mas mabibilis na sentro at forward players. at sana mabawasan ang mga bangko sa team. gamitin sana lahat ng players. mas madami pa ang mga players na laging nakaupo at hindi nagagamit sa rotation.

        ayus sa opinion. Dapat ikaw nalang naglaro at sa postura ng iyong pananalita paniguradong beterano at eksperyensadong Myembro ng National team. Ikaw na kuya! Ikaw na.

    Okei lang yan that games serves as a lesson and motivation to our nationals to improve more for international games. We need more accuracy in shooting, and some quicker bigmen at the post, theres always a room for improvements and i hope to see that in the near future …….for gilas 2.0

      We’re allowed to have 2 naturalized players.Why not get another one to backup or play together with Douthit.The rest of d players r giving it all they’ve got.When u play against bigger/taller players,its pretty intimidating 2 our undersized players.Still,d players are playing their hearts out.Smart Gilas 2 is a better team than Smart Gilas 1.Aside from Teamwork & Solid Team Defense,Intelligence and Mental Toughness in a player is an important ingredient 2 beat strong teams like China,Iran,South Korea & Lebanon 2 name a few.I believe Smart Gilas could only get better & stronger as they keep on playing together & gain experience.I will still bat 4 another Naturalized Player who can play d 4/5 position(an athletic 7 Footer).This should be d final piece 2 complete d puzzle.I’m confident we can dominate again in Asia!

      Tanggalin sana ni Coach Chot ang FAVORITISM sa mga player nya..Puro nalang c Dillinger eh,walang play talaga pag sya nasa loob, c De Ocampo,c thoss kulang sa puso ang laro, babad pa rin..

    Hay, sayang naman. Pero ok lang yan pilipinas. Step by step process din kasi para mag champion. Madaming adjustments pa ang kailangan naten and if possible, ung ibang player na nsa pba ipadala na din dyan sa gilas program. Wag na kasi mag inarte ung iba!! Pero Go pa din for 3rd. Godbless Gilas!

    I go for Dilinger & Norwood as pt guard fast kaya maka match up. Nung binabad si Tenorio natambakan hinde na Jones Cup eto na naka bantay kay Tenorio ay 5’9 na pt guard na U.S. Ang bagal ni Tenerio puros dribol tagal pumasa. unlike China,Korea and Japan less dribol at ang pt guard 6’4 above. **Bread and butter natin si Douthit sira ang play pag Off night si Marcus. May 6’10 players tayo pwede e center tulad nila Fajardo,Slaughter or Yancy. bakit pinipilit mag center si Villanueva?! Hangat ang Height natin pang PBA, kulelat tayo sa FIBA #45 & asia #9
