Gilas fails to sustain charge against Senegal
I've seen the whole game and that was very close up until the fourth quarter when the Senegalese show their height advantage. If only Kai Sotto and Jordan Clarkson were playing in that game, high chance that Gilas will won as Sotto would add ceiling to the Philippine squad while Clarkson will provide his scoring prowess that went missing for the Gilas in the final minutes of that game.
What can I say? Of course, this is a learning experience for the Gilas Pilipinas. Kai and JC, I think, will only play in the Philippines during the actual game, right? Anyway, I think the current Gilas lineup is still competitive, but we still want to see them win, as the team has been criticized a lot every time they lose.
By the way there's a good news for us.
Jimmy Alapag joins Sacramento Kings’ coaching staff in NBA
Maybe this is the answer that we are looking for. He can replace Coach Chot, as he sure can help the team improve, being part of the coaching staff of the Sacramento Kings. And who knows, maybe someday we will see two Filipino coaches in the NBA if he gets promoted again to become a Heat coach.
