    i knew it. talo pa rin tayo hindi sa laro kundi sa FREETHROW SHOOTING LANG. MORE PRACTICE GUYS. subukan nyo ang MENTAL REHEARSAL + ACTUAL SHOOTING para sa susunod, sigurado malaki ang chance natin manalo.

      Napanood ko sa Ripley’s dati si Dr. Freethrow. Ang galing kahit di marunong magbasketball nakakashoot ng 12 sunod-sunod na freethrow dahil sa techniques niya. Siguro mental rehearsal + actual shooting din yun.

    Nakakaasar ka na disapointed kahapon ka pa…

    Thank you GILAS
    Sa tinagal-tagal ng panahon ngayon lang ulit sumakit yung puso ko sa kaba sa panonood ng isang basketball game (Huling sumakit iyong puso ko nung binasa ko yung laban ng Sannoh vs. Shohoku ng Slamdunk).
    Ang ganda nung game kahit natalo tayo, nakita ko talaga yung improvement niyo… 4th place na tayo!!! Kaunti na lang andun na.

    Wala na kong masasabing negative dahil alam ko naman na ginawa niyo lahat. Hindi madaling maglaro under pressure kaya ayos lang yan marami pang susunod na laban at para sa akin sulit na sulit ang experience na nakuha niyo sa tournament na ito.

    BUTI DI KO NAMISS ANG LABAN NA ITO…
    kahit weird parang ako lang ang masaya…
    para sa akin kasi ang ganda talaga nung laban…

    THANK YOU!

    ala na talaga tau pgdating sa basketball parati na lng bng ganyan. since the 90’s pa sinusundan ko na yng national team natin. laging ganyan alang improvement e. pag natatalo sasabihin ng coach maging proud s na achieve bumawi na lng sa susunod. naku! gasgas na yang linya na yan..npg iiwanan na tau ng Iran jordan mga futbol nation po yang mga iyan. tau 1930’s p lang ng babasketbol na…haayyyyyyyy………….

    • Go Fight! says:

      Hi craig ganun talaga kasi try and try hindi naman pwedeng sabihin nung coach na “Ay talo kayo wag na kayo maglaro, lagi kayong talo.”

      Siyempre nakakasama ni Coach Rajko iyan madalas alam niyang may potential magsisikap ba ang isang magaling na coach na tulungan ang isang team kung alam niyang wala namang kakayahan.

      At nag-improve talaga ang smart gilas di ko masyadong nasundan yung iba nating National team pero masasabi kong nagimprove talaga ang Gilas.

      Peace…

      Nawala na si Disapointed, hehehe. Player daw sya sa Fullerton sa Anaheim? Sana nag try-out sya for Team Pilipinas, baka sakali sya na yun player na mgdadala sa Team Pilipinas sa Asian Championship & the Olympics. B-) Its ok that we got disappointed & frustrated on this recent debacle, kasi sayang talaga, nandun na eh, abot kamay na panalo, nwala pa. But the Team has improved a lot under Coach Toroman. I guess, give them a couple of years more plus a few more bigger players & better outside shooters & we will reach new heights & win these championships. 🙂

    Yes nakareply na ko sa lahat ang adik ko…
    Pasensiya na nalulungkot lang kasi ako dun sa grabe mag comment parang di Pilipino…

    Ya’ll just calm the f%^&$ down. Your team lost. You can’t bring it back. Your team needs a complete overhaul, i mean totally! New coaches new ballers. Mix tall vets with young blood like this tall fella from Ateneo and add some boby ray parks and ravena. When i say vets, i say pba vets with high basketball IQ’s and can defend. And please….can somebody put Norman Black or Jaworsky as headcoach, and not just some dude who made iran champion before and he thinks he’s hot s%^t now.

    Juuust my 1 cent.

    Post nyo pangalan nyo, dpt responsable kau s mga pnagsasabi nyo,
    Sad and frustrating, As a basketball fanatic. You let us down guys.
    Hindi ko alam kun cno nagde decide tlga ng rotation ksi prng hndi lng c Coach T, 1st. Substitution/Rotation error, (This is very important s crucial games, un tamang pagpasok ng isang player)Nun laban sa Jordan, mganda ang laro ni Casio pero mas bnigyan ng playing time c Alapag knowing n hndi ok un laro ni Jimmy ksi slow pag set up nya s half court nasisira tempo, but against Korea oki un laro nya at hindi k alm kun my nkabasa nun comments k ksi Alapag adjusted s pag setup, pero ngaun naman mas pinapasok c Casio n hndi oki un laro nya.2nd. Pinasok c Mac against Korea,from my comments against Jordan na mgaling c Mac umatake ng zona s shot selection ny within the perimeter pero hindi sya pinasok noon, but this time against Korea hndi ganun ka-active c Mac s depensa, tingnan nyo uli, naiiwanan sya nun shooter n mainit from korea e ms maliit sya dun, Coach T should have put Mac on Tae Jee Moon (un naturalized) ksi hndi un ganun kabilis and c Lassiter sna un pnabantay nla dun s isa. Against Jordan wala cla mgawa s zona,
    3rd. Freethrows, History repeats itself kun hndi tau matutoto, from the tym of Olsen to this time. Mental toughness kelangan dyan ksi wala naman nagbabantay sau, un basics s pag freethrow alam n nla un, Bend your knees and focus s spin ng bola don’t shoot it with most of ur palms, feel the groove ng bola with your fingers and uppermost ng palm then try to spin it,the arc goes with the knees, Try nyo and tell me if I’m wrong.
    This sums up what happened and what could’ve been done. From the last two games they did’nt want it more than their opponents. ‘Yan ang heart of the Champion na cnsbi, hndi pride.
