After everything, how would you rate the performance of Gilas in this OQT? Let us know in the comments!

Actually overachieved, gained the respect of the countries/teams ranked in the Top-25 in the world👏👏👏👏. Since no one even expected the team to win a game and then even without Kai, they led halfway through the game vs Brazil, I'd rate them⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5 stars. 4.5 if they survived Brazil and made it to the Finals in their group. 5 stars if they finished on top of their group and secured an Olympic slot.

@@NicoRocha okay lang, pero dapat ang individual players may correspondence para makapag bond sa team and bring new ideas, sa fundamentals dun lalaki ang chances to win dahil ganun din pinagdadaanan ng ibang teams dahil even usa was beaten

True, this is our best showing in OQC for decades. However, tingin ko the suffocating defense applied to us by Brazil prevented us from executing the vaunted triangle offense. It also prevented us from moving around the ball and forced us into turnovers. hence, di tayo maka pag set up ng shooters natin.

Brazil 12th defeated Gilas 37th by 11 & Latvia 6th by 25 pts. That's minus Edu & Kai!

I hope this OQT will serve as a foundation for the future. Just Keep the core, hopefully kumuha tayo ng foreign assistant, preferably from Europe to guide Coach Tim, and add players little by little and Gilas will have a bright future.

They surpassed expectations and have set a new standard for future ballers para sa pinas that said, we have to focus na on bigs that can support both kai and Aj since its clear as day Abai doesnt have long before he retires from national team duties, same with japeth even though I understand replacement lang naman siya

Teribli sa depensa ng brazil hindi nakayanan ng gilas na akala ko na learn experience na nila kontra SSD sa WC noon. Sobrang lakas na bangga nila, sobrang pang ipit, at okay lang sa referees. pang harass sa tira na tyempong tyempo sa itaas na nagreresulta sa halos naging awkward lahat ang bitaw ng mga tira ng gilas. Kita natin, maraming beses sina junmar, justin, carl, japhet, cris, cj..na sinusubo na lang ang bola sa ring ay miss pa rin! Hindi na praktis ang pag absorb para mga sobra lakas na banggaan at pang harass ng mga katunggali!

Yes I’m proud of this team

Probably it was deliberate to make Brasíl think Kai will play. Sympre iba ang preparation for gilas with a Kai Sotto compared to a Sotto-less Gilas. Pero, I think, nakahinga na ng maluwag si Willy Marcial, hndi na tatamaan ng Olympics yung schedule ng PBA. Anyway, let me add, iba kc yung Kai kay Japeth. Japeth naturingang lutong luto na sa triangle pero tignan nyo yung mga pasa nya, ang lambot. Very obvious na nag aalangan sya, yet, itinuloy prn nya Kaya ayun, turnovers ang mga results. Kai, he’s not just that lob threat, rim protector, he’s a decisive, creative passer. Pag nahihirapan ang guards at Brownlee na mag entry pass kay Junmar, kay Kai padaanin

Replace: CJ Perez with Jordan Heading Mason Amos with Justine Baltazar Calvin Oftana with AJ Edu

Lack of option in play. They could opted to derail the game by infusing the less scouted players like Amos and KQ even for a short time to derail the concentrated defense on Brownlee and rest Fajardo.

Sayang kase kahit na 15 man pool sana ehh para may option na magkaron ng variety sa mga players naten pwedeng pag piliaan. Si berto sana para ma lessen ung load ni brownlee sa offense. Tapos sana si Balti mabigyan ng chance. Need then ni coach tim na magadjust sa rotation nya at i maximize ung 12 man line up. Inde naman to PBA na asa lang sya sa 7 man rotation tapos ung 1st 5 almost 30 mins a game ang nilalaro lagi.

Yun kasi plays ni coach naka assign lang sa ilan players kaya nga ang rotation ilan lang tapos si Japeth na hindi nya kaya eh fill ang shoes ni Kai.
