2011 FIBA Asia Championship at Beirut

in Sports Zone
i know medyo matagal pa.
Lebanon pala ang host.
naexcite lang ule ako sa international basketball tournaments.
hoping for a great finish for Philippine team. (SMART GILAS *okay*)
Barocca, Casio, Tiu, Slaughter, Japeth, Ababou, Ramos, Cawaling, Ballesteros, Baracael. and Lutz, Lassiter, Douthit
Sino kaya mawala and retain? sino posibleng maadd?
possible additions of Kelly Williams and Asi would be BIG.

A 4th or 5th place is still ok, at least may improvement sa previous achievement natin nung PBA pa ang nag hahandle ng NT(we placed 9th(?) ata)
Mas realistic ang chance natin mga year 2014 Fiba World Champioship, mas maraming slots, more chances to qualify:)
last 2006 asian games, di tayo nakasali due to suspension.
hoping for a place finish for Smart Gilas.
preview plus reviews and changes for the coming fiba asias.
8th place pala finish natin nung..2009 Fiba Asia Championship.. eto pala yun:D

Iran ang champions:)
#2 pala tayo sa rebounding noon.
surprisingly
It's not about the height. It's about the gulang
Wasn't this the same tournament where we had so many fouls because (according to the commentators) "The Filipinos are used to no-blood-no-foul officiating"?
oo nga eh kahit nga ako nagulat//iba talaga calibre ni asi .. i think siya lang ang legit power center natin nung mga panahon na yun.. alongside with Joachim Thoss syempre
susme.no blood no foul? saan galing yan? si barrios ba ang commish sa fiba asia?! :glee:
seriously kung #2 tayo sa rebounding, hindi rebounding devil kuno ang kailangan natin. we need scorers na kahit anong mangyari either makaka-score o makakapunta sa FT line at pure shooter.
Yung mga international commentator yun.
Though I think Anthony Suntay may have been one of them.
di ko sure pero alam ko hindi rin biro-biro ang wildcard.. makakalaban mo yung mga nabigo ring team na galing sa europe, americas, oceania, africa .. mas mahirap:)
mas konti ang slots ng olympics always.
sa fiba may wild card pa, etc like how jordan got in.
BTW, before this thread meron palang FIBA Asia U-18 sa Yemen this end of Sept. ano kaya status no U-18 natin dyan?
Thats good enough for me. At least we can witness team Smart Gilas playing against teams from other continents. Like for example JV Casio playing against Jose Barea or Carlos Arroyo of Puerto Rico.
on the positive side, yes:) maganda exposure yan sa team
oo nga eh, from what i've heard they're training in usa against d-league teams and nba summer league teams tapos may bago pa ata silang mga recruit na half-korean bigs.. not quite sure about this
kung yung court pa rin ang gagamitin lamang ang lebanon.. dahil ma humid at madulas yung court.. tingnan nyo yung last stankovic cup mga players nadudulas... pangalawa yung mga hotel na pinagtutuluyan ng mga opposing teams... ang lebanon 15 minutes away sa court.. ang opposing team bibibyahe pa ng 2 to 3 hours lugi ka run... yung legs mo nakabaluktot ng ilang oras...
Blame FIBA for that, binigay ang venue sa Lebanon na hoping it will change the basketball image of Middle East di naman, kamote naman silang lahat World's
Bring back the venue to the countries wherein the basketball image is strong. China, Korea, Japan and Phils
Isa pa yung U-18 sa Yemen pa, susme
