I agree about the statement of Coach Chot that other top teams didn’t even qualify for the next round and yet and we expecting to see Philippines in the next round?
Coach Chot really said that? A competitive coach shouldn't say that. What a
bullsh*t statement.
I know the capability of Gilas compared to other countries. It's better to say and admit that we lack talented players to cope with the global competition. What the
f*ck should we care for other top teams not qualifying for the next round? Instead of recognizing our own problem, he still looks at those top teams not entering the next round. What a funny statement personally for me and you really agree with that?
Saying that kind of crap statement is like saying, it's fine to lose because there are top teams that also lose in the first round.
Hahaha! That's my comment Kabayan! as I also watch that video interview wanting to quote some of his statement " dito lang sa pilipinas bawal matalo" something like that in my understanding, I do hope that he's sincere in thinking of leaving the position, it's better to let someone to handle the team, might be enough for that time frame that was given to him.
Yup, even they win this one with a huge margin there's nothing that can be done for the host team to be qualified for the next olympics, we missed our chance losing from the last 4 games, a good learning experienced for the rest of the team and for sure if being handle by the same managements it will be the same exact reason, " A good learning experienced"
Oh well, just wanna congrats all those bettors who managed to place their support betting for the home team and earned decently after the game.
We are against the top teams, and we cannot blame the whole team for this as they performed their best and yet fell short. I agree about the statement of Coach Chot that other top teams didn’t even qualify for the next round and yet and we expecting to see Philippines in the next round? Maybe we are just expecting too much but its finally good to see our first win, we wish the team Gilas for a better years to come, we still have time to play next time.
The Samahang Basketbol of Pilipinas that manages the Gilas, spends big money for that event and talking about the salary, Jordan Clarkson alone has around Php 56,000,000 salary. Just try to do the math for all Gilas salary combined. They also spend much on long preparation for this event and there are lots of adjustments made the whole year just to be fully prepared.
If it's alright to just lose as other top teams didn't qualify for the next round, why still focus on basketball preparation? It's just reasonable for Pinoy fans to expect the Philippines to enter the next round because the country prioritize this sport compared to other sports that we are much good and better in the international event.
Yup, not a small amount for this squad and just to learn something from losing to a strong team, I think that can be used if the gilas who are playing are the same gilas with coach tab, players from collegiate that don't have that value in terms of money involvement, but the fact that SBP allocated such huge amount of money in forming this team,
Though it happened and we don't have control about how the rotation and how super coach chot see what's better for his team during the game.
