Medyo mababaw lang kasi yong execution nila sa triangle offense ni coach Tim Cone dahil iilang araw lang naman silang nagpa-practice nito pero ganon pa man ay medyo may chance dito ang Gilas na umabante sa medal round kasi yong Qatar na kalaban nila sa susunod ay medyo kaya nila kahit pa na hindi gaano kalakas yong second five nila.

This is it, the fight that fans really wanted to happen but one thing I don't like is that they overlooked the capability of Ngannou, which is a big disrespect for him. Don't know what is stipulated in the contract, if Fury loses against Ngannou, will the fight still push through?

Wow, ito pala yon kabayan. Honestly ngayon lang talaga ako nagkaroon ng idea about this Web3, salamat kay OP at naitanong niya ang paksang ito dito sa forum natin. Though malalim pa yong kailangan na intindihin natin pero at least sa surface ay may idea na ang nagbabasa dito ukol sa web3.

Though i want the Philippines to advance to the 1/4 directly by beating Jordan but it seems to be hard task for them considering in the change of roster and the lack of quality substitution, i mean Chris Ross and Marcio Lassiter are not the player we used to see five years ago, father time has taken a toll on them so i'm not gonna risk my money by backing Gilas this time instead i'll be going for Jordan.

Gilas will still qualify for the quarters if ever they will be defeated by Jordan.

We must remember that Charlo is adding mass on his body so he can't be quicker than he used to be at 154lbs division so most likely he need to go toe to toe with Canelo once in a while to test how strong Canelo's punch and if he could hurt him but most likely he won't hurt Canelo and he will just fight to survive but i'm hoping that in the later rounds, Canelo would catch Charlo's chin and knock him out cold.

Mayweather's defensive strategy is one of a kind that's why Canelo was having a hard time catching the former and besides he was still so young that time.

Inilabas na pala yong odds ng Gilas vs Jordan para bukas at mukhang interesting to dahil tingin ko mahihirapan ng husto ang Gilas dito dahil wala nga sila solid na second stringer kay juicy na to para sa Jordan fans dyan o di kaya, ina-analyse lang yong laro hehe.

Gilas ako sa puso pero tingin ko di talaga kakayanin na buhatin lni Brownlee yong Gilas bukas kaya ang bet ko para bukas:

Jordan -4.5 @1.93

Oo brader, malapit na pala yong opening ng NBA season na parang kailan lang yong nag-champion yong Nuggets at ito naman tayo, simula na naman sa tayaan hehe. Medyo hindi lang natin napansin dahil nga sa FIBA at Asian games.

Tungkol kay Lillard, sang-ayon ako sa iyo na medyo upgraded na ngayon yong Bucks dahil may dagdag na naman sila offensive firepower at "cons" lang sa pagkakawala ni Holiday ay yong mahigpit niyang depensa pero palagay ko magagawan din yan ng paraan.

Mabigat din yong kapalit ni Dame sa Portland dahil andoon na si Ayton na matagal ng gustong kumawala sa Suns hehe.

My instinct tells me that this fight will push through, it is just a matter of how much they add to their offer to Marlon Tapales. Sean Gibbons is very good at that negotiation so there is no reason why this fight won't come to fruition and in fact Marlon Tapales was already in the US busy preparing for this fight that is most likely to happen this end of the year.

The score was very deceptive as we thought that was an easy game for our Gilas team but it is not without a scare. One moment, Thailand led by as much as 10 points due to Tyler Lamb's explosion in the rainbow country, fortunately for Gilas, they answered that with a 15-0 run that give them the slim lead.

Gilas vs Jordan is the match that will test this version of Gilas but TBH, i tapered my expectations as Jordan is a strong team, if i'm not wrong, their roster is intact, i mean those who played in FIBA were the ones also playing in the Asiad.



^^ Consolation for the day, i know that Gilas can't cover that near 30 points spread so i backed Thailand with that high spread.

Oo kabayan, yon Jordan talaga ang sukatan kung gaano ba kalakas ang Gilas na ipinadala nila sa Asian Games pero sa tingin ko malaking kawalan sina Terrence Romeo, Calvin Abueva at Mo Tautua dahil yong replacement nila ay makikita mo talaga na bumabagal na tulad nina Chris Ross at Marcio Lassiter kaya hindi na ako masu-sopresa pa kung matalo man sila ng Jordan bukas.

Samantala lamang ng ang Gilas ng 6 points pagkatapos ng first half kaya may yong bet ko sa Thailand +26.5 @2.05 na manalo hehe. Hindi naman sa ayaw ko sa Gilas pero tingin ko may palag din tong Thailand lalo na pag uminit si Lamb para sa kanila.

Already fight week and as usual, bookies already had a lot of options for us to bet and I've noticed that bookies were enticed that this fight would go the full twelve rounds but I think the opposite as Charlo is small as this is his first fight in the 168lbs division so the risk of being KOed is high at least in my point of view and the odds for that is juicy enough for me to push that button.

Philippines vs Thailand
Time: 11:00 am Ph time
Date: September 28

Ang aga ng laro ng Gilas bukas mga kabayan, ganda sana makapag-live betting dito dahil kampante ka sa pupustahan mo kung makikita mo yong kakayahan ng kalaban which is for tomorrow is Thailand. Pwede tayo pumusta ng by quarter kung may magandang markets/options to bet ay makakuha tayo agad kung live betting tayo.

Marami ang humahanga kay coach Tim Cone dahil nanalo sila laban sa Bahrain, expected naman yon dahil ang hina ng Bahrain kontra Gilas, ang team na makapagbigay ng hustong laban ng Gilas sa group nila ay yong Jordan pero hindi rin tayo maging over-confident laban sa Thailand may tatlo or apat din silang half-bred.

Wala pang odds na inilabas yong mga bookies, baka kinabahan hehe, pero sure ako na bukas may odds na yan.

edit: odds are out.



Yong 24-point spread ng Bahrain kontra Jordan ay kayang-kaya yan ng Jordan na i-cover tingin ko samantala yong 30-point spread ng Thailand vs Gilas ay duda ako na ma-cover ng Gilas dahil tingin ko naman ay medyo malakas tong Thailand kaysa Bahrain.

Good luck to us tomorrow.

1. Canelo
2. Round 9
3. 3

I don't think Kyt Jimenez will play lot of minutes on his rookie year because SMB is loaded with talented guards but the signing itself is a win for the last pick of the recent draft because it is equivalent to money and whenever SMB decide to trade him to a team which need his talent then that would be the time Jimenez will showcase his talent.

Let us remember that TR7 was not used last conference, don't know the reason why but somehow TR7's talent is way up high that than of Kyt.

I think the format is the same as that of FIBA. In these Asian Games 2023, there are 4 groups with four teams in each group. The Philippines belongs to Group C with Bahrain, Thailand, and Jordan. Whoever came out as the top dog in each group will automatically qualify to the quarter-finals which in this case, Jordan and Gilas must slug it out for the top position.

If ever Gilas came out as the number 2 in Group C, they needed to win against the number 3 of Group D to be able to advance to the quarters. BTW, Group is composed of Japan, Korea, Qatar and Indonesia.

I watched the game live until the end and I could that there are still things that need to be done like limiting the turn-overs as we could not afford to have lots of turn-overs against Jordan or even Thailand. Bahrain is not a strong team and their import Wayne Chism is not the player he used to be when he was playing in the PBA as an import, which contributed a lot to Bahrain being blown out by the Gilas team.

Nevertheless, it was a good start, and hope they improve on the TOs in the next game against Thailand on September 28.

Though i'm a fan of Casimero but i think he will lose to Inoue if ever they will meet in the future. Casimero has power, we knew that but Inoue has a granite chin, we saw that when he fought Donaire, though his jaw was broken but still he stood standing and finished the fight gallantly.

But Inoue vs Casimero will be interesting to ordinary fans and tickets might sell like hotcakes if Quadro Alas would start opening his mount and taunt Inoue.

Ang aga ng laro ng Gilas, buti may break ako at nakapanood at nakapusta na rin hehe.

End of first half at medyo tinambakan na ng Gilas yong Bharain sa score na 51-33. Medyo dikit pa yan sa first quarter hanggang sa uminit yong opensa at depensa ng Gilas na siyang dahilan upang umabante tayo ng halos 20 points.



^^Panalo na yong isang ticket ko, sana ma-maintain nila yong lead para panalo rin yong isang bet ko na -12.5 @1.96.

edit: Panalo ang Gilas 89-61. Next stop, Thailand sa September 28.

Notes: Abangan natin yong game ng Bharain at Jordan, kapag maikli lang yong margin mas mabuti pumusta sa Jordan dahil sure ako tatambakan din yan ng Jordan ang Bharain.

Nakagamit ako nitong Coinex exchange na to noon pero ngayon hindi na at wala na akong coins sa exchange nila at sa nangyaring ito sa kanilang exchange ay palagay ko marami ng kakalas at hindi na magtitiwala sa kanila.

With regards doon sa inside job or not ang nangyari, hindi na yon importante sa mga users na bumalik pa sa kanila.

That would be the downside of this situation but whether we like it or not that's the only way that Team Gilas would be competitive in the international competition. Time will come when all of the Gilas players will be Fil-Foreigners but I hope that will not happen because it would discourage full-bloodied Filipinos or let us say would demoralize grassroots talents.
