I agree, this is better than what we're expecting and as this tune up game really will help the Gilas to experience further and more adjustments to come before the actual Olympic qualifying games. The roster is perfect and if there are negative comments from the fans, just don't be distracted with that. The team, the coaching staff and the players are all doing their best and they're actually doing a good job, they are there to win and they want it badly just as how we fans and kababayans want it.

This is indeed the reality, more than the fans, it's the players and the managements who wanted to win badly, they are playing to make the country proud, and with what we are witnessing right now, they are in the right directions just some adjustments that needed in terms of defense especially those big man who are playing outside that adjustments is really needed to fill out, we need those young stars to use their speed to rotate they need cover those defense if ever JMF or Kai has been outrun those young star like KQ or KT both have the height who can give that tight defense for those outside shots.

Our shooters need to be sharp and for the defense, they need to attend to that because it's known that most teams have got their best shooters. Or a harder opponent is that most of their players can shoot outside. And with that, they need to take note of that which is surely on their books already, just a good rotation and can't deny that this version of Gilas is doing it. <3

Yup, and they show it up very close game against Poland almost a win but fell short of time only 2 points but PH National give a hard fought and for sure Poland got surprise with how the Nationals take the challenge, a very close game and an almost a blowout but that last minute rally really give some hope lucky for those bettors as if I heard it right handicap is +12.5 or more not really sure.

So the Philippines will have their last tune-up game against Poland, which is ranked number 15 in the FIBA world rankings and considered a stronger team than Turkey. If Gilas has learned from their previous game, they should perform better this time. If they can make it a close and interesting game, I believe their chances against Georgia and Latvia will be promising.

So the game will be tomorrow but in order to be able to watch it, we need to be awake by ;

They gave it all and almost upset Poland, just fell short of time but it really an interesting game for PH Nationals, the adjustments are working for them and the rotation gives them the game play that they needed, hopefully they will continue to developed and bring this type of game system in an actual game for the qualifying match.
