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

[@ponypower8]

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.

[@DarylIrwinAyo]

@@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

[@BotDQ-wr5rw]

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.

[@NicoRocha]

Yep! I think they’re number 1 on defense in this tournament

[@ramrocker1004]

Tinamaan yung spacing natin nung nawala si Kai. Kaya kawawa yung Junmar sobrang sikip sa loob Kaya hirap mag operate

[@KingHarryCMotia]

Spacing and rebounding, kung anjan si Kai andaming options

[@ValerioBaguio]

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

[@pesiganfrancisluisd.1461]

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.

[@NicoRocha]

Yep! Keep the majority for sure

[@FLourd-bx9cc]

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

[@NicoRocha]

Agree here! Thanks for watching!

[@skilleddog2968]

Gilas went out there and showed us we can compete and win. GGWP boys Laban Pilipinas 🇵🇭❤️

[@NicoRocha]

Agree!!! 💪🏽

[@jethdeguzman]

A different story maybe if we've beaten georgia and faced cameroon instead. But still solid performance by gilas despite not having the best lineup due to injuries. Exciting future ahead.

[@NicoRocha]

Yes exciting future ahead!

[@remelretes360]

Malaking bagay na to sa Gilas hindi lng learning experience kundi winning attitude

[@garendarius8329]

Tambak nga eh😂😂😂

[@NicoRocha]

Yes I’m proud of this team

[@valakubak7012]

One main reason ..is Kai didn’t play .. Kaya Hindi na ako nanood expexcted ko ang resultA…

[@NicoRocha]

True!

[@vlogsfavorsphileco8788]

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!

[@NicoRocha]

Bawi tayo next time!

[@ramrocker1004]

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

[@jeromejosephpama8253]

Malaking bagay na nandun si Kai and Aj Edu sana. Sa bilis kayang kaya sabayan ni Edu yung Caboclo. Kutob ko lang might be Wasserman ang nagdecide na wag palaruin talaga si Kai?

[@NicoRocha]

Ay feel ko talaga the rib issue is bad.

[@paulericpeligro9381]

Nakakadisappoint talaga fan ako ni kai pero parang di man lang lumaban, may basketball player nga akong kilala isa lang kamay naglalaro padin, di nman nya ikamamatay yan di man lang sinubukan lumaro 😩

[@joaquingonzaga2156]

Ako rin brad. Ndismaya, ako nga my costochondritis sa Chest ribs msakit pg ng spasms pra sko inaatake s puso, but I just take alaxan, and I can still play basketball at my age 44.. he didn't even try, sayang lng Pag wweights nya, for conditioning.. I should try even atleast 10mins.. if he's like that all the time, he will not last in bleague, gleague or in nba.. battle of Resilience..

[@leticiachapyosen8770]

hwag po natin sisihin si Kai ...kahit gusto nyang maglaro kung ayaw ng management po nya wala syang magagawa

[@NicoRocha]

I have a feeling his injury is worse than expected. I just pray he recovers well

[@husher9214]

​@@joaquingonzaga2156sige lang alaxan ka lang whaha

[@sabaysaalon]

Considering Philippine team is the only team without any former or active NBA player in the roster in the ongoing Olympic Qualifying Tournament is something that excites me. The future is bright for our Philippine national team!

[@NicoRocha]

Definitely!

[@ibarrajacobe1331]

yup..kai..sayang..di nakalaro

[@NicoRocha]

Yeah the rib injury was too much! :(

[@emmanuelandrewm.decastro]

yun mawala si Kai Sotto is a death sentence already to the team its hard to defend the rim and rebound is very tiring dapat isinama nila si Rhenz Abando para kahit wala si Kai Sotto pwede i compensate yun blocking and rebound

[@NicoRocha]

Yun nga eh. We really needed him

[@jaimesanchezjr.8209]

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

[@NicoRocha]

I hope Balti gets considered too

[@user-wh7et9rl3b]

CJ Perez with Abando

[@gegm4126]

Calvin is good for Gilas he just needs to be consistent sa mga tira niya

[@johnmiranda4587]

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.

[@NicoRocha]

Hopefully we can consider more guys in the future

[@ReyLovi]

We need bigger guard na hindi liability sa defense like Dalph Panopio

[@petedinglas968]

The whole effort is highly commendable inspite of the loss but we could have done more if the options were properly thought of...

[@NicoRocha]

Yes! Proud of our team

[@primeathletic4083]

More power to you. Nagsisimula ka palang sir, naka subaybay na ako. This is a sensible and informative straight facts podcast. For the love of the game❤

[@NicoRocha]

Salamat brother!!

[@primeathletic4083]

@@NicoRocha hoping to do a collab or something with you in the future! For the love of the game !

[@petedinglas968]

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.

[@NicoRocha]

Breaks of the game talga eh no 😅

[@rhondelacruz1543]

Gilas don't like go to Paris Olympics, if U watch the game . Kai did not play, the coaching staff wants to go home early. They did not play like Europeans they played as a pba player only, what can you expect to win .

[@NicoRocha]

Di naman sa ganun. I really feel Kai’s injury is worse than reported

[@marlondavefrancisco1498]

B+ considering all d circumstances! Controlled d 1st half against Brazil though may inkling nq n tutukod c jb s endgame due to over physical n defense s knya like un strategy s knya ni coach victolero s pba. Oftana’s missed three was a backbreaker xe nag-6pt swing un. Sayang pro congrats pdn s Gilas 🫡👏🫶

[@rhaxeedo]

I think gilas should also exoand the llays from the triangle and learn some modfications. And maybe insert a couple of different set plays just to confuse the opponent. Basic triangle sets pa lang nakikita ko e, kaya basang basa ng brazil ang passing lanes.

[@NicoRocha]

I think may variation naman yung Triangle ni Coach Tim.

[@jaimesanchezjr.8209]

JJ Mandaquit is a true PG

[@NicoRocha]

Although he’s with the US :(

[@jeymsbarayan]

No 2-3 zone against a team who relies in inside presence is criminal

[@NicoRocha]

True :(

[@jeymsbarayan]

​@@NicoRocha tim cone should pay

[@ballersmentality]

​@@jeymsbarayanBoss, kita mo bah mga 3 point makes ng Brazil? Halos nasa corner yung mga 3 point makes nila kagabi. Tapos mag 2-3 zone kapa? Alam mo bang nasa corner ang butas ng 2-3 zone. So halos nasa corners yung 3 point makes nila, tapos mag 2-3 zone kapa, that means you're inviting them to shoot more from the corner.

[@curiosityfactory8048]

Cant commit to 2-3 zone. Brazil will only attack the gaps more, they were making corner 3s

[@rexsaint206]

Kung di nabali ung panungket ng pinas panalo sana tayo

[@ronaldolim5646]

Missing pieces for my opinion only skati, Edu, you needsniper from 3s Jordan Heading at kylangan talaga magpagaling at magpalakas ni Kai i still believed kai is a hidden gem 💎

[@NicoRocha]

👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@joelg.47]

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. Kahit siguro Brazil nagulat ng hindi nakapaglaro si Kai kasi sigurado pinaghandaan nila sya. Bagsak ang moral ng Gilas ng hindi maglaro si Kai kaya yun nagkalat

[@NicoRocha]

Makakabawi rin tayo!

[@kingofonepiece88]

7:05 tama kayo laging nahihila sa screen si cj perez kaya open lagi si huertas even newsome naiiwan dahil sa screen

[@ma.morinasaludades8491]

GILAS performance... 10/10 (1st), 8/10 (2nd), 6/10 (3rd)... 8/10 overall.

[@NicoRocha]

[@DarylIrwinAyo]

breaks of the game lang talaga, brazil was not better, pero ung uneccessary turnovers, halatang pagod na si abay

[@NicoRocha]

And no Kai na rin :(

[@DarylIrwinAyo]

@@NicoRocha pinipreserve at nasa isip ni coach tim is to let him heal fully or worst nalang play him if we go to the finals, pero kung wala ung injury he could have been the big factor, ganda na sana ung mga mis match lalo na pinopost up ni chris ung elite pg nila, sana maibalik agad confidence ng mga boys, ung caboclo is legit nila at naalala ko si mark sa mga laruan ng mga guard nila sa running floaters at jumpers, si karl would need to know the triangle more so that it will reward him of open jumpers, nagbabangaan parin halos magkakakampi due to not knowing the positioning without the ball that gives advantage to the defender plus nakakarecover defender agad to defend against us, hapo na si abay, pagod or kinabahan din tayo, dwight will get more better from this, we need edu badly to defend and he will be great with the system of ctc, newsome is fit for this system lalo na kung maimprove nya pa free throws at jumpers nya which is highly doable and i trust chris to improve more in this, the asst. coach could map out every player tendencies para mas madali scouting para sa next tournaments, we must think ahead

[@joelg.47]

Kung best of 3 nga lang ito at makapaglaro si Kai pwede tayong manalo. Mas nakakatakot pang kalaban ang European dahil bihira mag mintis ang shooting.

[@DarylIrwinAyo]

@@joelg.47 sa best of 3 maigi pero hindi ganon ang fiba kaya madali ma sift ang malalakas dahil sila ang more likely makakalusot

I think wala nang point para hanapin yung kulang na players. Nung nanalo sa latvia todo praise, but placing blame on japeth after a loss tsktsk. Grabe talaga pinoy mentality.

[@NicoRocha]

Objective takes naman. Not saying he caused the entire downfall of the program

[@pusanggala1939]

hindi naman pagod lahat..Kbado c aguilar at Oftana..ndi naman cla babad lagi..

Could have played a factor :(

[@jollibeemcdo1485]

Un na ung resulta sa kkaunting player na kinuha ni ctc...wlang back up if sakaling may na injured...

[@NicoRocha]

I think Coach doesn’t want to bring in just anybody if di pa nila kapa system nya. Might do more harm than good

[@Von199X]

Kai Sotto should've played man, PLEASE stop with the 6'2 and under Guards ... kitang kita naman na kailangan talaga ng bigger guards to compete internationally, You guys forgot Alex Konov 6'7 Guard/smallforward and Francis Lopez at the wings for 2028

[@NicoRocha]

I’m sure pagiisipan yan for the future squad

[@gelowgelow]

Na diffuse ng brazil yung triangle.. nawala yung post action nung 2nd half.. tapos bantay sarado si jb.. glaring holes sa lineup: backup big (assuming kai or jmf is out), more athletic wings with size (ala kobe paras type) who can play 3 or 4, shot creator na bigay bola tapos score mo na (mala tr7 type) Ps: parang di fit sa system ni ctc si kq basta si jb ang naturalized.. same role eh.. di sha 2, di rin 4..

[@NicoRocha]

KQ has to learn being the 2 feel ko
