Go Smart Gilas! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

ouch sloppy start... but i'm putting my hopes on them. Tama na yung pagbuo ng team ng superstars pero sari-sarili kung dumiskarte. It's time for this sort of team na sama samang madevelop sa simula pa lang.

Goooooo Pinas!

Our 4th prospect for naturalization, Marcus Douthit (6-11. 233 lbs) finally signed for a 1 year contract at hoping na maihabol ang papel niya para makapaglaro with our National Team sa 16th Asian Games, 2010 Guangzhou , China on November 12-27.

Yes sir, sana nga because Kelly Williams of T n T will also reinforce them pagdating ng Asian Games.

ayus yan..sana kunin din nila si arwind santos para atleast may tagasalo pag medyo kinabog ang mga bata...

Promising nga sila.
Sila nagchampion dyan satin di ba?

Napanood ko ang laban nila at maganda ang chemistry nila.
Mas maganda nga yung ganitong wala pang superstar para lahat pantay
pantay. Kita ko na agad yung team work ng team na to.

Sana lang palarin tayo para tumaas ang kumpyansa nila sa sarili.

OT:
Ibang lahi lang ang Coach eh, bakit kaya?

Pwede rin sir boks, kaso mas malakas na naman Haddadi sa ngayon bec. of his NBA experience.

Parehas tayo sir, lagi nga akong nagtyatyaga sa live streaming kasi wala man lang tv network dito sa atin na nagcocover ng live na laban nila. Sana nitong darating na jones cup meron.
