Congratulation Lakers, NBA 2010 Champions!!!!!!!

[JOM'S]

imho they should beat Jordan today to make it more interesting ...

pag tinalo natin jordan today, at least they have shown that they can beat the stronger teams in this tournament ...

[noypi2]

Magaling si Hontiveros, ang problema yung style ng laro nya. Mabagal yung style ng laro niya compare sa mga laro ng teammates niya. Sila Mark, Helterbrand, Alapag, Williams at yung Norwood puro up tempo. Kapag siya may hawak nasisira yung timing ng teammates niya. Pero sa mga video na nakita ko sa Youtube, Ang kulang natin ay Big bodies inside the paint to control rebounds, Kinakain sila ng buo sa loob, lalo na sa offensive rebounds. Tulad noong laban nila against Lebanon, maraming second chance even third chance points. Kailangan nilang magadd ng malaki sa loob, yung malakas pwesto to get rebounds, kahit hindi malakas sa opensa, basta rebounds lang.

updates rp vs jordan anybody???

[JOM'S]

sibak nanaman tayo from another close game 74-70 jordan...

pero iba istorya nito ngayon, dominated tayo ng jordan for the whole game, kinapos lang yung finishing kick natin ...

NEGATIVES
tulad ng mga naunang games, rebounding, free throws, turnovers mga weakness natin...

mukhang pahirapan talaga na makalusot tayo sa elimination phase sa japan, lalo na with the emergences of the Mid-Eastern Teams in Asian Basket, they are big and burly gagaling pa tong mga ito...

POSITIVES
we are competitive against all the teams na nakalaban natin, lalo na against lebanon, korea at ngayon sa jordan, bilog ang bola anything can happen...

the team is not yet at 100% and is still peaking plus Danny Siegel is not yet playing...

kahit tingin kong mas pahirapan na to establish ourselves as one of the top 3 teams in Asia, kahit papano may nakikita akong pagasa...

Ang nangyari kasi naghabol lang tayo ng naghabol buong game, This is the worst one dahil we started off really really bad. How can an all star top gun studded team score just nine in the first ten minutes of play! my gulay naman!

tapos umiral na naman yung one on one plays natin, halos walang team work. pati nga yung babaeng intsik na anchor ang tanong kay Mark "Are u having problems w ur teamwork". Sagot ni Caguioa, "Yeah! (sabay iwas sa usapan dahil baka madiin naman yung teammates nya).

and of course, ang favorite kong si Hontiveros eh binabad na naman sa loob! Di tayo nakalapit sa almost just 2 points na lang kung hindi pa nilabas si kolokoy!

Tomorrow is vs Iran, the other team we will face in FIBA elimination round. Pag eto tinalo pa tayo eh mag isip na isip na talaga kung pano irevamp yang team. So far, based sa nilalaro natin at ng mga kalaban natin, sa tingin ko ang dapat manatili ay sina:

Caguioa, Taulava, Alapag, Ritualo, Jayjay, Yap


Ang dapat i-reevaluate o bigyan pa ng more playtime para ma-assess ay sina:

Menk, Williams, Canaleta, Raymundo, Ranidel, Norwood


Ang dapat idagdag o ipalit sa team ay isa o dalawa kina :

Miller, Pena, Cardona, Adducul, Villanueva, Belasco.


Ang dapat na masibak ay sina:

Hontiveros at Chot Reyes!LOL!

Bakit palagi kong nababasa na nag-eexperiment yung coach (Chot Reyes?). Para saan? Ano ba tunay? Praktisan lang ba itong Jones Cup....alam ko big deal itong tournament na ito ah? Preparation for what?

[Chadmack]

teka mga tol, nde kaya dahil sa starstudded nga team natin eh committed ang coaching staffs na irotate maigi ang mga tao na ang drawback eh, walang nagiinit na players natin?

dont get me wrong, di ako nakakapanood pero normal case kasi sa starstudded team yung ganyan eh.

kung si baby dalupan ang coach nyan, mas malamang na piliin ni coach na me mabangko na star player para maginit yung lineup nya....

Hindi pa kasi final yung line up ng team natin kaya tiningnan ni Chot yung best combination. But I think gawin nya yung per game. tutal 9 games naman sa Jones Cup. Kung per half time eh di 18 combinations yun. Hindi ako Coach pero pano mo makikita kung ok yung combination kung pinapalitan mo every 3 minutes?

Jones Cup is important, not really to win it, but to have an advance look and feel sa mga makakalaban natin sa JApan FIBA elims, where only two teams would qualify for the Olympics. This will also test kung ready na ba tayo sa Japan o hindi. My assessment is hindi pa, but if the necessary adjustments will be done right away, baka makalusot pa. HIndi naman pala unbeatable yung Jordan kahit tinalo tayo kanina, at bukas malalaman natin kung ano naman ang Iran. We have to beat Jordan & Iran in FIBA Japan so we can move to quarterfinals and hope to beat the rest to get to the semis and finals.
