Topic: SMB-RP Team? What's going on?

[gratituity]

I'm just wondering "why oh why" did Chot reyes got the coaching job for the SMB-RP team. And after 4 bad beatings he would say it's a rewarding experience for the RP team just to cover up his mess, what the heck? Other teams have imports, two of them, we don't. And chot expects us to win without imports? Hey we have great players, we do but the time of david vs goliath is long gone. David has one big backer on his side, who do we have chot? Darned it!!!!!

Chot Reyes has been the coach of the national team. So you have to count his experience in international competition and his relationships with the players. He worked with some of the members of the current team in the past, also in international competitions. Winning, but first qualifying, for the olympics and fiba are the team's or rather the organization's top, if not, the only priority. In the qualifying tournaments, the team will be facing the same problems. Height and dominating strength. As early as now, our players must learn how to deal with those problems with their selves.

First of all, you have to understand that the FIBA Champions' Cup is just an invitational tournament for commercial teams in Asia. That's why the other countries didn't send their respective national teams and even got imports for themselves. It doesn't matter whether the Philippine Team finished dead last or first in that tournament. Chot Reyes just wanted his players to get a feel of what it's like to play in international tournaments. He wants his players to gain experience so that when the SEABA meet comes, we'll get one of the top two spots and when the FIBA-Aisa qualifiers come, we'll be able to get one of the two top spots as well.

Hinay hinay lang tol, let's just see what the team can do.

very well said, injuries, age, fatigue are also factors.

David and Goliath ba kamo? hehe... Basta David malupit un! 

I think they're just getting a feel of the international basketball style, and kung may import din sila, pagdating ng actual FIBA-sanctioned games e maninibago sila kasi wala nang mga imports pagdating dun..

Wait for SEABA, we are the reigning champs eight years in a row, if I'm not mistaken. As most have pointed out. The recent stint that the team went through was just a tune-up tournament. Eventhough a lot of these players have played together for the national team already, giving them more opporunity to play together makes them gel faster. Who knows after SEABA, with China having an automatic entry for all sports being the host country in the 2008 Olympics, the Philippines mya have a good chance in getting one of the two top spots in the FIBA Asian Championship.
