The tune-up game against Taiwan was good—we won the game, and I think we are more competitive against Asian teams but not in worldwide competition. Still, I would like to wish the team good luck in their game this coming July 2.

That game could have been better if Dwight Howard and Cousins played for the Mustangs but nevertheless still it was a good tune-up game for our Gilas team. Against Latvia and Georgia, i don't expect them to win as those team that i mentioned are taller and more athletic than our Gilas team.

I hope that betting sites would cover those qualifying games next month.

As per winning chance, I do agree that our Nationals is the underdog but for sure they can give something decent in terms of competitiveness, with how they perform and how the system is being executed I guess we might bring pull an upset here hahaha, hoping and crossing my fingers for the National, JBL and the rest of the team PH will need to play harder, also, a good venue for our young stars to earn the attentions of the international fans.

I also eyeing for bookies to bring that odds I would be glad throwing some spares for team PH either handicap if available or ML.

Well, even Coach Tim Cone himself already said that they aren't ready for OQT yet. LINK

No. Not at all. I don't expect to be ready at this point. We're not ready—that's why we're still practicing and playing friendlies so we could get ready.

It's good that they have a friendly match-up with top 15 Poland and top 24 Turkey, to at least increase the chemistry of the whole team. TBH, I want to believe that our Gilas Pilipinas team has a chance to defeat either one of them, but it's hard to think who will be the one. I mean you already said that they are way taller and athletic than our roster. Add also the fact that both of them have NBA players is also a reason why I don't see our team winning.

Overall, I guess let's just wait for how our team will perform against both the Latvia and Geogia.

Chot is a good coach before but the problem is he didn't improve his style and adopt the changes of basketball thru the years. He keeps using his methods which is not working now on international scene. He's movement is predictable that's why he lost a lot and that has been taken advantage by their opponent. While Coach Tim enjoys a lot of success since he's plays and rotation is really working which bring them positive result and approach to Filipino basketball fans.

I agree, I won't discredit his coaching style in the past because it works. But the meta for basketball also changes and it's even harder when they're playing with international teams. He's not willing to cooperate with other coaches that has a better isolation and strategy against the international teams that the Gilas will play against. It's good that Coach Tim Cone was the one chosen on this. Although there is still remaining some politics on it about Bollick that should be there, Abando and other strong group players. There's no problem with the SGA because they're willing to let their players play for the national team, but it is "long hair" that doesn't want to play these good players in the team because they've got their own players.

True, there's still politics inside though the selected players are deserved to be on the list as per my opinion but we can't remove that fact that there are fans who wanted to see their idols playing also for the national team, coach Tim can't accommodate them all as he needed to bring selected players and for that there's always a long hair person who might influence him in deciding who's going to be there for the team, sad but true.

Coach Tim Cone is just there to coach the team but about who's coming in and not to the team's roster, it's out of his scope because the long hair man is the one that manages it. That's a team and management effort and they have the guts to do that because they're the one who's sponsoring the entire national team, I mean that very company that we all know. Well, good job to the tune up game of the Gilas' roster against the Mustangs.

Well, he is the coach so he makes the decision on which players he would want to be in the roster. I think there's no need to question that especially now that are at the right path, as long as we are winning, we need to entrust that decision making to him and he knows best, there's probably some bias, but who cares, our goal is to win and coach Tim Cone have given that to us.

The lineup is perfect; they have good chemistry among the group, and that's the recipe for success. In the coming Olympic qualifier, this will be much harder than the previous competitions Gilas has joined. Winning a game would be a huge success, but it's hard to expect much against the giants in the same bracket as the Philippines.

The tune-up game against Taiwan was good—we won the game, and I think we are more competitive against Asian teams but not in worldwide competition. Still, I would like to wish the team good luck in their game this coming July 2.

For sure there is a proper scouting happen before they officially announce their rooster and maybe there's less politics happen there but everything is manageable since Gilas still a strong team.

Their latest win agains Taiwan indicates that Gilas is ready for the qualifiers so lets hope that we can see a good performance and chemistry since they need to win. They manage to get a good win against that ball club and we see that they are all in good condition. Although the challenge is so tough knowing that there's a lot of good team that also eager to win because they want to advance and get good placement. So let see on how far Gilas will go on this and if they win for sure all pinoy basketball fans will celebrate.

That was the only friendly games of Gilas before the qualifiers as they leave for Europe today according to the news.

Gilas leaves for Olympic qualifiers in high spirits after win vs Mustangs

The schedule will start in July 2.

Quote

Four Olympic Qualifying Tournaments are set to take place from July 2 to July 7. Four hosting countries include Greece (Piraeus), Latvia (Riga), Puerto Rico (San Juan), and Spain (Valencia).

So Gilas will have time to trained before their first game, and I hope they'll be able to really find a strategy to use on how to compete against a stronger team. China was a strong team as well, there are a lot of tall players but they were able to beat them, if there will be a miracle again like Brownlee doing his thing, then I guess we might see a big upset.

Both teams are different as Coach Chot is full of criticism while Coach Tim Coach enjoys the opposite.
Imagine the kind of success he brought to the Philippines, when he assumed as the head coach, he was able to give the Philippines a championship in the Asian Games. it's still fresh in my mind and I'm very proud watching them that time.

Heres's the highlights so we can see it again Philippines vs. Jordan gold medal game highlights | 19th Asian Games

But we can't deny that before Chot Reyes bring an honor for Philippines basketball team so I guess fans should not remember that. Instead criticizing him maybe people still need to applause on past achievement he gets. I understand the frustration of people about his Gilas stints since there's really need a replacement since Gilas performance is declining and its good that there are changes happen since we see that Gilas became so good at current coaching staff handling them.

He looked bad because after he stepped down, Coach Tim Cone brought a championship to the Philippine team. We will never forget what he did in the past because he was able to bring a championship as well when Gilas defeated China in the FIBA Asia IIRC, but fans wants some consistency, and it's business so I guess it's just right that he leave because the current Gilas team are a much improved team.

Have you noticed, no more Ravena brothers to the team anymore? There two were also criticized, I don't know the reasons but it seems like the fans doesn't like them.

I just finished watching the highlights of the Gilas vs Taiwan in a friendly match.

Here's the link for those who haven't watch the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf5zbUcXNao

JB is back, and he is a very good facilitator with 14 assists in the game but also scored double digit at the same time.
once again, the ball movement is very impressive for the team, they don't force shots, they look for an open man, as a result their effort paid off.

It's a win 74-64.

That's a good tune up team, Taiwan is where Cabagnot is playing currently, they are a strong team as well as Gilas were not able to dominate them although they won by a double digit. I like the current line up, no selfish plays and ISO, they just move the ball more with less dribble.

That was a long time ago, it's almost 10 years and now we are knocking on that door to be able to enter. I agree with what the above poster have mentioned, our chance in the qualifier is very slim because of the bracket that we are in, even against Georgia, we might struggle, but since Justin Brownlee is still our naturalize player, we just need to move the ball well and have to be consistent with our 3 point shooting.

Looking at the roster's match up, we would have a problem due to size difference, but you know, we Filipinos have this "PUSO" which will lead us to a possible victory in the game.

If we look at the last 5 games of Georgia, they only won 1 out of 5, while the Philipines have won 4 of 5.

So I'm giving it to you to analyze if we do really have a good chance.

I'm pretty sure that "PUSO" is not only the surviving factor here but the executions of plays coming from coach Tim not to drag coach Puso Reyes here but the two got their differences,

though same with you, the size is by far but the talents for my own opinion Team PH already have the best squad our team can produce, and with JBL they are in the good hand a kind of an all around player who can boost the confidence of the whole team.

We might see our flag campaining for the olympics which all of us for sure will wanted to see, one step as a time just play as one..

Their opposing teams already know how to beat the Philippines, they will probably focus more on defending JB to limit him, if they'll succeed on that, then we have no chance of winning. I hope they have already anticipated that and we will still see their good ball movement.

Yeah, maybe it's about time? I really don't know as the teams that are under the same bracket are a strong teams. Philippines have the lowest ranking among the 3, but let's see what they can do. Also, Justin Brownlee is not anymore playing with the PBA, the chemistry might not be their anymore and the plays may not be the same. These are just my worries, but I still trust the team to deliver, hopefully this will be a close game between Georgia.

So I'm giving it to you to analyze if we do really have a good chance.

But Georgia faced a very strong teams while the Philippines only weaker teams, well, teams in Asia does not really have a good ranking in the FIBA world, so if we will rank based on continent, Asia is still not par with the Europians and Americans team.

Last 4 losses of Georgia are against these teams.

1 . Serbia
2. Denmark
3. Australia
4. Germany

And this,

So the last time we were in the Olympic was 2015, but was even just a replacement to New Zealand, let's see if we will be back again.

That was a long time ago, it's almost 10 years and now we are knocking on that door to be able to enter. I agree with what the above poster have mentioned, our chance in the qualifier is very slim because of the bracket that we are in, even against Georgia, we might struggle, but since Justin Brownlee is still our naturalize player, we just need to move the ball well and have to be consistent with our 3 point shooting.

Looking at the roster's match up, we would have a problem due to size difference, but you know, we Filipinos have this "PUSO" which will lead us to a possible victory in the game.

By the way the tournament will start July 2.

With this tournament that we will follow, it seems like the return of the PBA will be after this. Although the Gilas are on a bracket that are with the good teams, we can still trust them and hopefully even if they will not win they will be able to compete and give the opposing team a scare.

Philippines is currently ranked at 37 while Latvia at 6 and Georgia at 23, this would be a tough challenge for Gilas, but nothing as impossible for this team.

This is for the Olympic Qualifying Tournament, right?

It is good that SBP sends a contingent for the tournament even though the chance of making it is so slim, don't get me wrong but the level of opposition is just very tough. They will be against taller and more athletic players from Europe which is very hard to beat but anyways, good luck to Gilas on this another journey.

Yes this is. I think the Philippines are trying to qualify in the olympic so they are sending our team. They came from behind in a win against China, we never expected that so we just have to trust our team here but just don't expect. Even if they'll loss, it doesn't matter though as we already know our chance is very slim, but according to coach Chot Reyes, this can be a "learning experience".

Against Latvia, it's almost impossible for our team to win with them. Against Georgia, maybe there's a chance.

Just for context, during the last FIBA world cup, they're at the top in terms of three-points made with almost 13 a game. That stat alone shows that they have lots of sharpshooters. Also add the fact that Porzingis "MIGHT" play for Latvia since he got more time to take a rest after getting that title in the NBA. I'm not pessimistic, but I'm just stating some facts. As for Georgia, I'm not familiar with how they play, but knowing that they're 23rd in rankings, that just shows how strong they are. Compared to Latvia though, we have a chance against them.

Anyway, nothing is impossible like you said, but let's set our expectations at lowest for us not to get disappointed. I believe in our team though.

This is still a big achievement for the Philippines to reach at this level as thought we are not at the top of the list, they can call our brand of basketball being competitive, And yes, we have a chance against Georgia, so winning that game might already make the Filipinos proud. As for the betting odds, currently it's not yet available.

And this,

So the last time we were in the Olympic was 2015, but was even just a replacement to New Zealand, let's see if we will be back again.
