Seems JuneMar Fajardo is now finally back on track as he unleashed again his "Kraken Mode" on PH's recent win against Thailand in the ongoing Southeast Asian Games. That's so far the best performance of the SMB Bigman after his long recovery from the injury that sits him for almost 2 years.
Even the PH won, I have a big concern here. PH is the most dominant country in basketball in Southeast Asia for years and they almost beat their opponents in a large lead regardless of who's on our roster pool. Here in their recent win against Thailand, PH was doing a rally all throughout the game as they are always behind.
I know the win is a win but this just shows that the team has a bit of a problem. Honestly, we shouldn't have a problem competing against SEA countries in basketball but they struggle against Thailand. I see that the PH roster is good that's why I don't understand what happened in that game.
Maybe other SEA countries are now doing their best to improve their roster and defeating PH is something like a big recognition for them that's why they are pumped against PH.
Your last statement weight everything, the other countries learned from us and they are really trying to compete by sending great players, also to show that they develop their talents. Glad to see that even it's just a close gap PH manage to win by the help of JMF though we all witness that there are limited chemistries within the squad maybe because of some adjustments but it should be look by the coaching staffs and do some adjustments.. Good luck Team PH Laban lang!
