Para sa akin, tayo ang panalo. We have earned their respect. Godbless Gilas, laban lang!
#Laban Pilipinas! #PUSO!
Ang galing ng gilas pinag hirapan un hnd lng swerte
Nakakatuwang isipin na kaya natin ipakita sa mundo na kaya natin makipagsabayan sa mga top teams ng ibat ibang continent. Malamang lahat ng natitirang team sa bracket B ay pinagaaralan na ang laro natin. LABAN PARIN GILAS.
This the reason why South Korea is starting to get scared of the Gilas, they will not have any chance anymore to beat us… Kudos to you guys.. you show to the world the Filipinos dont easily give up… #Puso at yan ang wala sila na di nila kayang tibagin satin… Mabuhay kayo..
Good one guys. Blatche made 7 turnovers, as I commented before he shouldn’t be bringing down the ball. If JD was in the line up, we won’t be having an eleven man rotation. Sinama sa line up ang iba dyan para mag painit Ng Bangko. Was he hidden para pang gulat in subsequent games? I doubt if he can contribute much.
qng kaya nyong sabayan ang croatia, kaya nyo rin ang iba!!! ipagpatuloy nyo ang pggulat sa mundo!
Dapat foul yung kay castro sayang may chance sana sa 2nd extension
ibalik na c marcus tanggalin c blatche matamlay laro nia taga NBA pa nman cia!
kaw nalang kaya pumalit..maganda nga yan c blatche kasi may shooting na eextend yung depensa nang kalaban
more playing time p sana ibigay ky fajardo. magand ung twin tower combination nla dpt ituloy lng ung
a number of “3-seconds” violations not called against croatia, we fought a very good game only to loose by 1 position in OT against a highly favored team is a great achievement nothing to be ashamed of. We had our chances, breaks of the game is not on our side in OT. Need to play our A game again vs Greece. #LABANPILIPINAS#PUSO
