Time to bring back the PBA dunk contest and put Juan Gómez de Liaño in it.

Shout out to Korea for winning the Asian Games gold medal and to Japan for not only capturing silver but for the enormous improvement of its bball program. Both their local leagues clearly have a lot to do with their respective successes, something the PBA regrettably can't say.

The only way to form the best Gilas team for non-Fiba tourneys is to have Filipino Asian imports sign clauses on their contracts that'd allow them to play in meets like the Asiad. No disrespect but the best Fil players are overseas and as evidenced, an all-PBA squad isn't enough.

Maybe the PBA can resume the Govs Cup to an earlier date due to Gilas' quick ouster from the Asiad. Already feeling distressed from the debacle in Nagoya, fans will need to wait another three weeks before the PBA returns to action. I'm sure the players are likewise raring to go.

A sad reality is that foreign clubs often hold the key to Gilas being able to form its best teams due to overseas players' contractual ties. Aside from the fact there is no definite desire to prioritize naturalized players - something that is obviously very critical to success.

Finishing at an all-time Ph worst ninth place at the Asian Games is clearly a huge embarassment. This Gilas team did have some talent but not sending our most elite players (along with a naturalized player) and having another short preparation period eventually doomed this squad.

Against China, Gilas will need to hit their threes notably Oftana, Ahanmisi, Bolick, Barefield, and Nocum, to have a good shot at winning the game. If not, Gilas will be in for a long night. Lucero, Baltazar, Rosser, Arana, and Bates must also hold their own vs China's big men.

Jerrick Ahanmisi made it rain from deep to bury Kazakhstan in the lopsided win. Up next for Gilas however is China who recently destroyed Bahrain by 46 pts. China will be out for blood after getting eliminated by the gritty Filipinos in the semifinals of the 19th Asian Games.

Robert Bolick heard all the noise and is putting on a show vs Kazakhstan - knee injury notwithstanding. Given that Kazakhstan is a lighter opponent, almost everyone is playing well and Gilas seems headed to a 1-1 record unless the team totally destructs in the second half.

09/12/2026

I don't wanna scare Ros ownership but Adrian Nocum could already be playing himself into an expensive (over the max) contract that the E-painters likely won't be willing to pay. I hope it doesn't happen but similar to the Paul Lee situation, a future trade could be in the offing.
