      hindi oobra kung puro hustle lang. basketball po ito. height is might. more playing time po sana sa mga big guys natin, hindi puro pingris at noorwood. sayang 25+ mins pero minimal ang contribution.

      We have got to use our bigman blatche,fajardo,aguilar tapos sa guard norwood and lee or tenorio

        hindi puede c aguilar hindi marunong pumuesto malakas lang tumalon at matangkad ung perimeter nya iyon ang laro nya madalas pa mintiskung nakakaintindi ka ng basketball hustle lang ang pag asa natin dahil maliliit nga tayokaya tayo nakakadikit kahit paano sa scoreno match c aguilar kay ping kahit saan aspeto

    • Bill says:

      Defense was great, that’s why the low scoring game. But there was no offense. It’s all blatche scoring. Asan na ang mga gunners natin? Naging nagbabagang upuan ang nag babagang kamay.

    noong wala tyong bigman na may decent size iyak ng iyak ang mga coaches. ngayon naman na meron tyong Japeth Aguilar at Junemar Fajardo d nmn ginagamit ng maayos. msyado bilib kay DE OCAMPO at PINGRIS si coach CHOT.

      i saw pingris hw he played he deserve the playing time, hes really gud in defence then he cn also fight 4 d rebound.. bonus na ung nka2 iskor xa, hes the toughfest big man of smart gilas aside 4 blatch.. npanood q game nla against croatia lumau agd s 21-5 kht na anjn c aguilar, mgnda reach ni aguilar bt he cnt post up lyk wat ping did.. bt its true i go 4 aguilar than ranidel, aguilar is bettr in outside plays and he cn provide shotblocks., bottom line preho cla kelangan s loob.. mgndang tandem ung reach defense ni aguilar and tight defense ni ping! ang mli s play ni chot pra sken hah wag msamain its jst my own perception, he go for 3 guards.. mgndang plano gmitan ng blis bt the european players are also quick aside 4 being tall’ dpt nsa2byan dn cla s blis at tangkad then that can aguilar provide 4 gilas…. im a pro gilas not 4 individual players!

      walang laro c japeth bro may playing time sya pero pero madalas miss shot at error sayang ang minute nya sa loob

      • guliver divina says:

        bro hindi ako against kay japeth pero may playing time sya hindi naman sya ilalabas kong effective sya dahil satankad at lundag nya ilan ang coach nila sa pba alam nila yan

    • guliver divina says:

      ung rdo at ping pag ipinasok all out na c japeth mangangapa ka pa kong susuwertehin FIBA world cup ito mahalaga bawat segundo pag ipinasok ka

    • rey says:

      tama bakit d ginagamit ang mga malalaki natin ng maayos. ang mga ginagamit isa-isa lang dapat puede pagsasamasamahin na kasi malalaki ang kalaban.. kailangan ang depensa iton maliliit kahit isa lang ang point guard.. ngayon nangyayari sila tuloy ang pinagsasabaysabay siempre skoran sila ng matindi di sila kayang bantayan

    • nitz says:

      dapat d pinalitan si fajardo doon eh.. dapat pinagsabay nlng si fajardo at si blatch.. hayz

  3. Dennis Calunsag says:

    COACH CHOT bigyan mo ng ORAS SI FAJARDO pagsabayin mo sila BLATCHE!!!!!wag si RDO……

  4. pinoy says:

    aguilar,fajardo,pingris,david and alapag
    blatche,fajardo,david,chan and williams
    blatche,aguilar,pingris,chan at norwood

    • darwin a. de sagon says:

      i thnk 2 guards lng dpt then with blatch, pingris, aguilar or fajardo then ranidel.. ung lro kc ni ranidel swertihan, pg mnalas 2loy 2loy..

  5. Jay says:

    okay yan de ocampo pingris ang siste hundi marunong mag adjust c Chot on the spot, pinagpipilitan yung tatlong maliit na 6ft and below…ang akala nya asian games pa rin ang laro…lam mo gamitin lng todo c aguilar mananalo yam team n yan kasi mayron tayong second chance point at offensive rebound at makakablock ng mga seven footer yan kahit paano may threat sa ilalaim…adjustment lng ang kailangan dyan…

  6. jun columna says:

    bat d pa kc pagsabayin c junemar,ping at blatche .. lam ng tatangkad ng kalaban tapos si blatche minsan mn lng kumuha ng rebound .. c ping nlng na.iiwan sa ilalim ..

  7. jep says:

    dapat tatlong bigman pinapasok ng sabay. sina japeth, andray at junmar or deocampo. samahan nila jeff chan at norwood.

  8. onad says:

    dami nman ditong marunong pa sa coach.

  9. ryan rojas says:

    Still proud of what gilas team has achieved… its not all winning that makes a team great… its the attitude, team work and camaraderie of players to put up a gallant fight despite being an underdog… especially, in basketball’s biggest stage… go gilas!

    • mon says:

      if we need height why don’t we utilize Japeth Aguilar. He has lenght that can match the opposing team. Not to mention an mabilis din at malakas tumalon. Kung hindi papalaruin hindi masasanay si Japeth sa international game. Kita naman na masyado tayo maliit tapos ayaw pa gamitin sila Fajardo at Aguilar ng maayos. Just my thoughts!

      • juan de la rama says:

        Japeth showed some fear in using his height and body, looked too soft against the opposing big men. Pingris showed toghness and confidence using a lot of hustle being undersized. Besides Norwood has better ball handling and athletecism in the 3 spot to have a chance for a better ball movement. And Norwood is not really short. Lets face it kababayans, even with 3 big men with less mobility you cannot outscore those bigger and most experienced, athletic and talented Greeks and Croatians. Better ball movement and spot up threes yes we have a better chance. I still commend coach Chot for his overall coaching performance. This is the system that they have developed during practices. Remember guys so far I believe, Gilas Pilipinas is over achieving.
