Coach Rajko Toroman Interview: (after the game)
“Gilas is the youngest team here in the league & these are composed of collegiate players and no one expects us to be here on this level. We didn’t play with an import.. Baracael, he was one of our best player, he didn’t have enough exposure in the Philippines as much as he did in here....
...We want to be the number one in Asia then Number one in FIBA!”
Finals Result:
Mahram-Iran def. Al Riyadi of Lebanon, 85-67

shalom!
Nice win. Dapat sa larangan ng sportsmanship sa ipinakita ng Gilas bigyan ng parangal at appreciate ng PBA ang panalo sa isang PBA games.
Si Yeng Guiao kasama ang powerade stars dapat ang mag abot ng plaque sa Gilas coach na si Toroman. Sa ganon pinapakita nila supporta sa mga batang pinoy na lumaban para sa bansa.
Siguro mawawala na bangayan ng mga fans at gaganda na mga post! mabuhay Pinoy national team.
bwisit ang gma 7,,,sabi nila full support cla sa national team eh wala man nga lang sila naipakita,,,puro pasikat na sila number 1,,bwisiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!!!
kasalanan to ng GMA!
I WANT CHRIS ALEXANDER AS THE NEXT NATURALIZED PLAYER CANDIDATE. HE'S THE FORMER IMPORT OF GINEBRA GIN KINGS..A LEGITIMATE CENTER AND VERY MOBILE..PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THIS..
Joseph
MAGPAPA LIVE COVERAGE NA AKO SA GAMES NG SMART GILAS. WATCH MY COMMERCIALS
GMA no.1 kuno..d man lang makapagbroadcast ng live...malamng replay mkkta nyo sa pinas...GMA 2nd best tlga kayo....
SLAUGHTER MAY PAG ASANG MAG IMPROVE. BREAKS LANG PARA MANIWALA SIYA NA MALAKING BAGAY SIYA SA TEAM. VERTICAL LEAP, TAKBO AT STRENGTH CONITIONING. PERIMETER JUMP SHOT (FLOATER) LANG, DI NA KAILANGAN 3POINTS.
hoping dumami ang mga sponsors,mamaximize ang market at ma-promote ng husto ang gilas..para wlang problema sa live streaming..dapat it would change na rin the viewing habits ng pinoy majority hindi puro teleserye at reality show lng..dapat educational,healthy at physical fitness
PANALO! yehee gising taga PBA ang aga nyong natulog may balita kamiiiiiiii.
PNALO tyo kontra sa may 3 import. WAG NYO NA IPILIT MGA PBA PLAYERS NYO SA GILAS.MGA WLANG PUSO. MABUTI PA ANG SAGING MERON.
TALO NA KYO KUNTI NLANG NANUNUOD SA INYO KAYO2X NLANG MAGLALABANLABAN PAPUGIHAN.
pasalamat kayo may support mula sa isang major station at least alam ng buong Pilipinas at ng ibang Pinoy sa ibang bansa na may Smart Gilas pala
astig..i've never been so excited sa pag antabay sa RP Team for a very long time...3rd Place, Fighting All Filipino againts bigger and heftier Arab Teams, with at least 3 imports is a BIG statement.
Now surely Mid East teams will be taking notice, were young, were hungry and well kick some asses!
Bilib din ako dahil di nawala sa focus ang mga bata kahit battle for third ang game...DI GAYA NUNG IBANG TEAM DIYAN NALAGLAG LANG E NAWALA NA GANA AT NAKUNTENTO SA 8 PLACE...makikita mo kung sino me puso at gustong lumaban sa bayan..
3rd Place by a young All Filipino amateur team is a slap in the face for the "professional players" wont you think...
..BEAT THAT PBA!....
ok nga si chris alexander ng ginebra...7 footer at alam na nya laro ng mga pinoy. idagdag pa ilang PBA players talagang magiging number 1 uli ang pilipinas. GMA gagawa ng docu tungkol sa gilas. di pinalabas ng live kase iba iba time ng laro ng gilas di pwedeng basta i adjust mga regular shows.. may mga commercials na lineup na at naka program na ito.
PANALO! yehee gising taga PBA ang aga nyong natulog may balita kamiiiiiiii.

nakakaawa itong isang ito, tira ng tira sa PBA..
pano mo nasabing walang puso maglaro? nagkainjure injure na nga tulad ni danny seigle sa exhibition matches pa lang kalaban ang australia ngka pulled hamstring na na halos ikawala ng caREER nya ng tuluyan. parepareho lang na gusto manalo LAHAT ng mga NT. depende lang sa program ng coach.
Sa galing ng training ng Gilas, maski si Yancy, Canaleta, Eman at fajardo pede mag improve kung kasama sa Gilas. Kahit hindi na yong mga fil am na gusto ni Toroman (umuuwi sa US pag off season). Tutal kulang sa role players ang gilas.
siyempre di lahat makukuha at papasok. pero magiging future players yong mga bata pa.
mas gagaling mga shooters kung completo depensa sa ilalim para sa mga second chance shots.
congratz, nice program!!!
nakakasuya..kakagising ko lang...tpos pagcheck ko may laban pala ang gilas..sabi dito eh TBA ang laban...yun pala next day lang pala...hindi ko tuloy napanuod...waaaahhhhh
iBOTO ninyo ako para sa SMART GILAS LIVE COVERAGE
No need for PBA bashing. Let's just enjoy this win by our nationl team. Smart Gilas, we are proud of you!
Don't insist in foreigner's to carry the team! Big guys? Fajardo,Chiu and Eman. They're still young and can be trained! Put the money on them not to imports w/o Filipino heart especially during playing.
guys! sayang no! kung nanalo tyu sa lebanon! kayang kaya natin ang iran!
haha. ansarap maging Pinoy! Kitang kita ung suporta ng mga kabayan!
Para nman sa comment ni "Aileana" mejo iwas na lng sa mga foul words kc makakaapekto yan lalo na sa mga taong nagtatrabaho sa Mid-East.
MABUHAY!
Astig!
PROUD TO BE PINOY.........SMART GILAS.
Keep your feet on the ground guys...we still have long road to your goal --FIBA's numero uno.
--rockman6@SG
What foreigner to carry the team?
Wala naman ah.
GILAS has shown na competitive kahit all Filipino!
But GILAS welcomes having a Naturalized Foreign Center... Any help possible is welcome.
Congrats, college players who are undersized, beating top pro teams in asia w imports and are really tall is definitely something to be proud of. Wow we are finally on the right direction!
CGE NA NGA BILIB NA KAMI SA PBA PLAYERS NINYO MAGALING.MARAMI DIN NAMAN KAYO NAPANALO NA INTERNATIONAL TOURNEY.. TULOG KANA MAY LARO PA CGURO PBA BUKAS PARA MADAGDAGAN ANG MANOOD SA VENUE NINYO. HINDI PABA NATAPOS ANG CONFERENCE NYO?
galing talaga ng gilas msmagaling sa pba poweraide team,kayo na idol q...
-GLOGEGILAS-
medyo malas lang tayo sa pagkuha ng import. hopefully, yung susunod ay ok na.
ilan taon na ba si chris alexander?
WALANG KASALANAN ANG MGA PBA PLAYERS MAY PUSO DIN SILA , NASA COACHING STAFF NG POWERADE TEAM ( YENG GUIAO ) ANG MAY FINAL SAY SA LAHAT NG DECISION NA NANGYARI LAST YEAR SA FIBA ASIA .
YEHEYYYY...
CONGRATS GILAS TEAM....
MAYROON PANG INVITATIONAL INTER PUROK BASKETBALL GAME SA BARYO NAMIN....
MALAKING CONFIDENCE BUILDER TO....
MVP ISALI MO YAN SA INTER PUROK DITO.....
Sa FIBA naman Isang (1) Naturalized Player lang ang pwede.
Isa lang ang kukunin ng LEBANON:
Vroman or Giles (Isa lang, hindi dalawa)
Pero pinakita ng SMART GILAS na kahit ilang naturalized players pa ay kaya nila.
Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
Mabuhay ang SMART GILAS!
isa lang ba ang naturalized player O dalawa? confused...
WALANG SINABI ANG " GMA 7 " NA IPALALABAS NILA ANG LAHAT NA LARO NILA SA DUBAI ANG SABI NILA THRU ( GMA PINOY TV / PINOY LIFE ) .
IBIG SABIHIN NUN YUNG NAKA SUBSCRIBE NA MGA NASA ABROAD ANG MAKAPAPANOOD NG LARO NG SMART GILAS TULAD DIN DITO SA PILIPINAS KAILANGAN MAY CABLE KA EITHER SKY CABLE / HOME CABLE / DESTINY ETC....
TANGALIN NIO NA YAN C SAMPSON PINEKE NIA ANG PILIPINAS YUN PALA MAY TINATAGONG SAKIT! MANLOLOKO KA AT MUKHANG PERA!
a few months and 1 year to go pa..gilas will be quicker and better than south korea..maybe ang china mag struggle at sasakit ang ulo sa gilas..same thing din sa iran,jordan and lebanon..excellent program and best fundamental skills ng gilas team..someday this team can beat any pro ball club in the world.
TAMA ceasefire na muna comparing PBA and GILAS will not do any good, past is past. Tulong tulong tayo mag lobby kung sino pa dapat idagdag sa RP team.
PBA, tutal wala namang impact masyado sa team ang big man like Eman, Yancy, KG canaleta, release nyo na sa Gilas bata pa sila trainable pa rin. Mga purong Pinoy yan.
Of course yong isang naturalize player dapat permanent na. tanggalin na si Sampson kung tatanggalin at humanap ng iba.
CONGRATS sa lahat ng PINOYS!! Job well done Gilas, you deserve it guys. Great coaching Mr.Toroman. Even though Syria had 3 American imports and Gilas w/out Sampson we won by 9points. Ang galing talaga nila...Olympics here comes GILAS!
Smart Gilas played with a big heart through out the tournament. Playing without an import in this tournament is really very very difficult. But still they have proven that it is not only winning that matters, but playing the game with a big heart!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS SMART GILAS!!! THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS PROUD OF YOU ALL...
Mabuhay
EARL BARRON!!!!!!!!!!!! ung halimaw na import dati ng REDBULL BARAKO!!!
Congrats Smartgilas..
Marami rin kaung fans d2 sa Jeddah, KSA.
Opinion lang ipasok sa gilas si CHIU, FAJARDO, at EMAN. Cgurado no.1 tau sa ASIA ulit kahit walang naturalized player.
Congrats mga Gilas Fans...sa dami ng tao sa stadium ok lng basta makita ko lng manalo ang Smart Gilas,,,sarap maging Pinoy pag meron ganito...proud to be 3 Star's and a Sun....Tang ina magulang talaga mag laro si Cris Tiu, kahit sa UAAP magulang ok lng basta sa bansa walang...
Congrats mga pinoy...
Dubai Engineer;
pwede dalawa naturalize kaso di lng pwede pag sabayin maglaro sa loob rules yun sa fiba..
SMB tutal ndi nyo ginagamit c EMAN irelease nyo na lng para maidagdag sa gilas.
Sayang lng kasi ang tangkad nya.
maganda sistema ng GILAS... keep it up.
bluehorn
dapat si eman, williams, norwood and reyes ipahiram ng PBA sa gilas para maimprove
SMB tutal ndi nyo ginagamit c EMAN irelease nyo na lng para maidagdag sa gilas.
Sayang lng kasi ang tangkad nya.
natalooo ang team ni giles...
Smart Gilas congrats . . . you are the
true champion . . . Mabuhay . . . you
made us proud to be Pinoy.
again, CONGRATULATIONS.
no pba players should join gilas!! no please!
astig talaga tayong mga NOYPI! klangan lng ng suporta ng smart gilas mga fans gaya natin na nanjan lng! kaya MGA PINOY keep suporting our country and our team! mabuhay tayong mga pinoy!
alvin, taga antipolo sumusoporta sa atin pinoy na manla2ro!
all filipino na lng,sana pti yun coach kung my pinoy sana
nice game!! talo sila si GILES sa FINALS!
buti nga!
kick out sampson, ipasok si taulava, di naman kelangan ni asi pumuntos pang rebound lang, yun ang rule ni sampson preo walang kwenta sayang lang kung inaturalized at bigyan ng malaking sahod.
chiu,cousins,adrastus
kayang 2mino ni adrastus sa gilas.. we need big guys tlaga
all filipino lineup pti yung coach...then pilipinas basketball is back on slump!..
nka attract na nang asian attention yung smart gilas ....
khit na matalo .. ehH contenders na tayoo..
hindi yung patambak team nang PBA...
hanap naman ulit nang bagong naturalize player...
kailangan talaga yung naturalize player ehH..
Congrats Smart Gilas,drawing lang Si Sampson.....Sarap manood sana maulit pa......Mabuhay ang mga Pinoy!!!!!!!
Congratulations to Smart Gilas, SBP, MVP, Noli, and Toroman. Mabuti na lang at hindi pumayag si Noli noong nagpipilit ang PBA na sila ulit ang magpadala nang National Team, kundi ay kulelat na naman. Dati ay #8 lang ang PBA team pero ngayon ay mas madaming import ang kalaban, tapos all Filipino pa ang RP Team, baka #12 kung PBA team ito.
Kunin na ang lahat nang matangkad na batang players sa ibang liga para masimulan na ang training sa RP Team. Kunin na ding conditioning coach si Alex Ariza na siyang nagpapalakas, nagpapatibay at nagpapabilis kay Manny Pacquiao. Huwag nang sumali sa liga nang PBA dahil ang matututuhan doon ay ang mabagal na laro. Matagal nang ginogoyo nang PBA ang Pilipino. Sumali sa Asean Basketball League dahil iba't ibang laro at coaching ang exposure doon.
e kung pati coach e pinoy..e di sana...first round pa lang..tanggal na team..bwahahaha
JV CASIO. BEST POINT GUARD OF THE TOURNAMENT.CONGRATULATIONS TOL. DATI AYAW KO SAU KASI TAGA LASALE KA AT TAGA USTE AKO.
NOW MAHAL NA KITA.
MWAAAHHH.
JOY OF DUBAI
mahina naman talaga ang Lebanon. they are just relying on their imports. nung nawala si Giles sa loob humina sila. d na na-maintain ung momentum. only their guards making the fight.
kung all lebanese vs. Smart Gilas sure ko tatalunin natin sila. basta kay Coach Toroman.
mahinang team napapalakas nya.
one good break on Mac Baracael. underrated player back home. Look at what he become in International basketball. mas tinalo pa nya si Ababou (MVP sa UAAP). sa tingin ko talagang malayo mararating ng batang ito. look at his shooting percentage. 90% plus.
Maton
SA KILOS NI GREG SLAUGHTER WALANG pba COACH IPAPASOK SIYA SA THIRD QUARTER NG CRUCIAL GAME. SA GILAS NAGTIWALA SI TOROMAN NA IBABAD SIYA. SI EMAN DI KO NAKITA NA BINIGYAN NG MAHABANG PLAYING TIME. MARAMING BIG MEN NA NASIRA LANG SA PBA
Kumpirmado na papalitan si Jamal.. May mga candidate na, isa na nga si Earl Barron, pero not sure pa.. Sana makasama na itong naturalized player na bago ng Gilas, para makapagblend sa team.. Hopefully, he'l be there during the Autralian trip, Canadian Cruise, and USA trip ng Gilas.. Then, We'l be competitive in JOnes Cup and Asiad (which will serve as a nice tune-up in the FIBA Asia Championship)..
malayong mas magaling ang galaw ni Eman Samigue kaysa kay Slaughter.. sayang lang at nabubulok sa PBA. pambutas ng bangko. he is 6'9" kung sya na lng nasa slot ni Slaughter mas me pakinabang pa. kahit taga depensa lng.
This is PHILIPPINE BASKETBALL POLITICS.
it sucks.
but its up to Slaughter to improve himself. bata pa sya. kahit d sya umiskor. tigasan nya lng katawan at ung mobility.
$10,000 ba ang kailangan para magkaroon nang "injury" ang isang import sa international tournament? Si Giles ay nagkaroon ng "injury" noong nasa Smart Gilas siya. Ngayon, si Sampson ay bigla ding nagkaroon nang "injury" pagdating sa labanan. Dapat yata i-ban ang mga players na ganyan sa FIBA tournaments.
Mabuhay! hope makuha nila si Gian Chiu.
Congrats Gilas! hope they could get GIAN CHIU, 6'11 with good moves.
Dati pinipigilan ni Jawo ang foreign coaches, ngayon ipinakita na mahusay mag-train si Coach Toroman sa international game. Baka kung si Jawo ang coach dito ay puro paniniko, pamamatid at pagsahod ang itinuro sa players niya. Dapat kung sino ang pinaka-qualified ang siyang mag-coach sa RP team. Limitado ang alam nang PBA coaches dahil sila sila lang ang mga naglalaro dun.
Congrats Gilas! hope Gian Chiu could be part of gilaS, HE IS GOOD AND TALL ABOUT 6'10 0R 6'11.
npnood q mga video,gngwang pf ni toroman c baracael kya pag pick and pop nia tntamad na depensa or mbgal maghabol ung pf n bantay nia kya lagi xa na oopen which is good xe gumagana naman outside shooting nia......"pero"what if c kelly un? lalo n what if c jwash un? napaicp lang ako..
cgro mas capable sa 3 o 4 spot naman ung 2 n pnag mention q xe 6'7 cla tpos gnun dba,,,,,
pero saludo dn sa gnawa ni baracael
comment?

Toroman your the man!

bakit nga pala wala si rabeh Al-hussaini?
congrats mga idol!Eric of Al Aqaria of Al Khor community!
Doha,Qatar
mura tlga offer ng gilas sa mga import kesa sa mga offer ng ibang bansa,,,kya cgro khit cno kukunin ppirma lang tpos wala na,,,or gngawang training ground lang 2 pra mas maexpose cla para mkuha ng ibang bansa for higher salary.. hay,gnun tlga buhay
ang galing nung magsabay sabay sina Casio,Tsiu,Barocca,at Baracael.Di makahuli ang kalaban dahil ang bibilis, hahahahhahaah.Wala pang sinablay na free throw sa last 3 minutes.
u know what dapat si fajardo and sam eman makasama talga sa GILAS pati na si gabe norwood tutal ung team din naman na kung san sila magbebenefit kasi mas gagaling sila or maiimprove para pagtapos ng intl competitions e d lalakas na sila and matutulungan nila ang teams nila habang bata pa sana matrain na ni coach T. nabubulok si gabe sa PBA dahil BOBO ang coach nila promise ang BOBO d ko nga alam kung bakt naging coach sa PBA e sa benilde palang la na kwenta....
It could hsve been a better ending, if we had beaten Al-Riyadi Lebanon in the semis-game. It was just hard-luck during the last minutes of that game, the breaks of the game just didnt fall on our side. But then again,we beat Syria to bag 3rd place, 3rd place finish is still not bad. The best reward is that RP Smart Gilas team has made a strong statement in this tournament that Philippine basketball is strong and will get even stronger to grab it's long lost glory and Supremacy in Asian basketball. mabuhay tayong lahat. Smart gilas, Aim High!- Philip of Dubai
jr13,wag mo nang ipilit si jaywash, mabagal yun. K Williams ok yun, dapat makuha sya for the no 4 spot. sana madevelop agad sina al husseini, ramos at ballesteros sama mo na si slauther, ga lata ng sardinas ang talon at malambot pa sa ilalim. syempre isang nateuralized na sentro, kung di healthy si sampson, hanap pa ng iba. hintayin pa natin yung mga padating na fil-am players na lutz at anthony. philip from dubai
medyo matanda na ata alexander. si EARL BARON NA LNG LAKAS NUN sa ilalim. siya nagpachampion sa red bull dati. KAYA lng ako nanood ng finals nun kasi ang lakas nya. isa rin naman sya sa tinitingnan ng sbp bago kunin si sampson.
BIG inside scoring threat un. dami moves. may shooting pa.
Wala akong nakitang field goal dun sa video, puro free throws!
Hey Guys!
Congrats to all die hard fans out there!
We almost die here with my friends cheering for our team even if we're just watching it on T.V. (Dubai Sports 2 - Channel 331 {take note this!}. As if we were inside the venue, the atmosphere was like we are playing for championship! The feeling was very relieving it made us proud and motivated...
Just to make sure we will perform better in FIBA we need to get a legitimate 'Center', whether it is naturalized or not. In reality we're lacking of this position that's why we need to rely temporarily with foreigners. But of course it is better if it is a Filipino!
Comparing our team physically, our built and height are mismatched to other teams. It is understandable because our players are young not to mention the fact that it was rooted in our genes.
What I'm suggesting is Smart Gilas must get a "Nutritionist/Dietitian" and "Conditioning & Body Building Coach, like PACMAN has" to build them up and to toughen them without loosing their agility!
Smart if you're reading this if you already have professionals helping you regarding this then you're in the right direction. Just make sure that the ones that you have has a good program (scientifically, physically and mentally) to get you guys more stronger and focus!
Lastly, try to consistently compose yourselves especially in the dying minutes of the game. Sometimes you tend to be nervous during endgames that why you makes too many turnovers. Always try to hold your ground until the buzzer sounds. (Is there a "Nervous Management'?)
When you're up always use the clock and don't be shy to call timeouts when you don't know what to do especially in the crucial endgames!
CHEERS! Inuman na!!!!

Congratulations Smart Gilas!!!! Noon pa sinabi ko na na height does not matter as long as you play as a team and play with a big heart.Yung RP team natin noon nanalo ng International Championships ang height ng centro 6"3( Caloy Loyzaga)tapos naging 6"5 / 6"6 (Gerry Codinera).Yung mga nagsasabi na height is might well you better think twice.MABUHAY ang GILAS !!
Mabuhay ang Smart Gilas!!! Noon pa sinabi ko na na height does not matter as long as you play with heart and play as a team.Congratulations!
i think gilas should really get guys like eman and fajardo....cla na lng ang i-train natin kasi yung mga import nag-iinarte lng kung mag-laro...naliliitan yata sa sahod ng sbp...
eman will really blossom with gilas if he chooses to play with them....he is 6'9 with decent athleticism kaso nga lng medyo hilaw pa kung mag-laro dahil hndi nabibigyan ng exposure sa pba...i think he is still around 28 years old kaya malayo pa mararating nya in terms of improvement...c slaughter naman kailangan nyang ma-develop ang kanyang mid-range game...ndi sya uubra sa ilalim against yao ming or ehadadi kasi hndi wala syang mobility..magaling naman syang free throw shooter kaya dapat meron syang 15-17 foot jumpers...he will be a big help to gilas if he adds that to his arsenal...
"lbj"
baracael should play the 2 position...masyado sya maliit sa sf or pf position...pero bilib pa rin ako sa kanya...fearless kung mag-laro..astig!!!
"lbj"
sayang talaga ang laro against lebanon.. kung magaling lang sana dumepensa si slaughter to shutdown giles e ok n rin sana kahit di umiskor... Giles was flying from everywhere..
or meron ibang import...
khakilala
Congrats sa mga nagwagi. Marami ang natuwa at nagsaya sa tingin namin patikim pa lang yan ng mga susunod na laban. Pero mas malaki ang naging panalo sana kung may isang matibay at matapang at magaling na tatayo sa likod ng mga manlalaro at iyan ay si Coach Yeng Guiao. Our pride kabaleng has more intensity sa tinding palang wala na binatbat si Toroman at sa titig pa lang sure na panalo na. Masyado lang sya minadali kaya di nya naihanda ng mabuti mga player nya sa mga nakaraang laban. Pero di hamak na wala pa sa kalahati ang husay at galing ng team nya sa Smart Gilas. Kung sya lang sana Guiao sure tambak na natin ang IRAN. Ibalik na ang Powerade team pilipinas at bigyan ng mas mahabang programa eto ang kailangan sa malalaki kalaban at di ang mga bata ni Toroman. GO PILIPINAS, GO GUIAO!
Sampson is foreigner,that's what I'm talking about.But I'm not closing the door for a naturalized center.PINOY FIRST POLICY! DIYAN NAMAN C FAJARDO, CHIU AND EMAN + WILLIAMS. KAILANGAN PA BA SILA? DON'T WASTE THE PILIPINO POTENTIALS LIKE WHAT THEY DID TO FEIHL, BALINGIT AND OTHERS.
damn proud of these boys. keep it up. that's what this is all about-flag and country.
nice one smart gilas.. nanalo tayo.. hehehe.. malakas itong team na ito.. sana kunin na nila si gian chiu na 6"11' din..
c gian chiu di pa puede, di pinapayagan ng ncaa team habang di pa cla graduate, but Gilas can wait next year.For the mean time work on Fajardo, Eman and williams. What do think mga katoto? RP (Gilas) can be unbeatable in ASIA AGAIN!
congrats SMARTGILAS! Definitely a 3rd place finish is a BIG BIG achievement in dat level of tournament where ader teams are bolsterd by 3 im[ports each some even hav as many as 5 imports counting d naturalized players.
galing talaga ng smart gilas. ngayon naniniwala na ako genues talaga si sir toroman.. suportahan natin ang smart gilas....
donot compare kelly n jwash kay baracael.
d kayang gawin nung dalawa ang nagawa ni baracael. sa shooting no match ang dalawa. si Baracael halos walang mintis sa 3 pts.
Adrastus yeah! kung intimidating bigmen ang hanap nang gilas... khit 6'10" lang kakain yun nang rebound,,, I remember a exhibition against the Standford Univ . Adrastus is playing for Duke Univ. He Out rebounded the Lopez twins.(who are now NBA players) but a certain incident really kick his chances to the team. then he ugly denied kyle singler during a practice.... I don't know kung saan na yung adrastus.. pero tiyak wala team siguru un... mag nag sasabi na nasa greece na nag lalaro nng pro ball..
pero grabe talaga yung adrastus... all defense hustle players... forget about his ugly jumpshot.
pero napaka intimidating ni adrastus. kayang makapag basaga ulo... pero un ang problem yung titino ba sya sa gilas...
late in practice. not attending practice.. yung ang notorious na anthony adrastus nang duke univ!
intimidating bigmen ? khit na di naturalize? anthony adrastus.. forget about de marcus cousins.
walang legitimate pf..
nka offensive mode si jafet aguilar. kulang sa center..
ballesteros has done his job
we need to improve slowter.
another naturalize player sana...okay na..
but internationally we reli on our guards...
tiu,casio,barroca, then baracael is the man..
ang center and pf sana ang kulang..
hanap nang naturalize player para sa center.
hindi yung sakitin.
at tsaka kung merong magic na maga tino kay adrastus...
PG TIU, Casio , Barroca
SG Baracael , Lassiter
SF Christian Standhardinger (sana , pero malabo)
PF Aguilar
C naturalize(player)
okay na rin sina
ababou,ballesteros,slowter, Jazul coud be surprize addition. take note..mahilig si toroman sa PG.. so could mix up a lot...
maybe chriz lutz( PG/SG)
wak na yung pringle.. (katulad din yan ni Adrastus my attitude problems)
congrat'z smart gilas!! you made our nation proud! 2 things 2 point out, kelly williams lng kailangan from pba, si chris lutz ay sa march pa dagdag para mas malalim hatak sa shooting guards at sa naturalize naman dapat yung bagong out of college pa lang para dala pa ang puso at madaling mag adjust sa system ni toroman. kung di nman ay siguro from europe na lang at alam ko may prospect yan si toroman. yun lng kailangan at sigurado champ na tayo sa asia. tatakot na sila!!!!
wag na tayo kumuha ng import for naturalization..
may mga fil-am nman dyan na may height kelangan lng hasain talaga tulad ni slaughter at kaya natin to...
mas masarap manalo pag may dugong filipino yung player...
Si Rabeh Al Husseini di muna pinasama nina Toroman para makapagtapos ng studies niya. Si Aldrech Ramos naman injured ata. (Di ko alam kung kasama si Magi Sison)
Great win. Sana talaga ipasama nila si Junmar Fajardo sa Gilas. Sayang talaga na Fajardo, Maierhoffer at si Paul Lee nag back out. Although kay Paul Lee, at least marami namang guard sa Gilas eh. Kasama pa si Razul di ba?
Congrats Gilas! Proud na naman ako being a Filipino...Toroman u did a great job..we salute you..ur the Phil Jackson of Asia..Hope we can a reliable big n bulky import who will control the shaded lane ala Dennis Rodman or Ben Wallace ang galing..Go Go Go Team Pinas..
go gilas go !!!!!!!!!
kumuha nalang kaya sa D-League bilang mga import..kahit hindi gaanong magaling yan atleast di naman laging injury..pag matanda na kasi..gaya ni sampson yan nangyayari..sayang....kaya yung lebanon... :P
Ang galing din ng foresight ni Guiao at Arboleda, si Baracael ang target nilang baldahin kahit hindi pa nagpapakita ng galing yung bata.
Ngayon ko lang naunawaan kung bakit gusto nilang pilayan si Baracael, siguro alam din nilang magiging ganitong kahusay itong batang ito.
PALAGAY KO LANG
Earl Barron is an NBA champion under Pat Riley and Erick Spoelstra...
Anton Adrastus... Very good Defensive player....
forget the ugly jumpshot.. but he's good in working under..
physical mag laro.... parang mobile 7 footer mag laro sa height na 6'10...nice addition sa big nang gilas... PF/C pa...
only problem thing about adrastus is attitude .!

Congrats sa mga nagwagi. Marami ang natuwa at nagsaya sa tingin namin patikim pa lang yan ng mga susunod na laban. Pero mas malaki ang naging panalo sana kung may isang matibay at matapang at magaling na tatayo sa likod ng mga manlalaro at iyan ay si Coach Yeng Guiao. Our pride kabaleng has more intensity sa tinding palang wala na binatbat si Toroman at sa titig pa lang sure na panalo na. Masyado lang sya minadali kaya di nya naihanda ng mabuti mga player nya sa mga nakaraang laban. Pero di hamak na wala pa sa kalahati ang husay at galing ng team nya sa Smart Gilas. Kung sya lang sana Guiao sure tambak na natin ang IRAN. Ibalik na ang Powerade team pilipinas at bigyan ng mas mahabang programa eto ang kailangan sa malalaki kalaban at di ang mga bata ni Toroman. GO PILIPINAS, GO GUIAO!
Nakakatawa ka panaginip mo larangan lang ng PBA ang playing field. Sinukat na kabalen mo 8th place lang. HUHUHU
Comment from a Filipino living in charlotte..
kung gusto nang gilas nang Dennis Rodman/Ben Wallace.?
Anthony Adrastus is the guy...! the attitude is dennis rodman also... away kung away... kayang maga pag basag ulo yun..
that guy adrastus is a crazy guy...
kung phil jackson nang asia si toroman.. sana ma improve nya ung adrastus.. talaga sayang na sayang ung skills sa rebounds..
Minsan na Describe sya ni coach K .. na "this guy is monster on rebounds".
isa pa asset ni adrastus eh yung very mobile mag laro sa ilalim at ...
standing about 6'10...
pero bad guy basketball player talaga yung image nya.. katulad ni dennis rodman..! And I think sa greece na ngayon nag lalaro si Adrastus... although his younger brother played College football here in US
Congrats gilas ,super bilis,kya pla gusto pilayin c baraceil n yeng at arboleda dhil mgaling..ang bilis nng facing ng laro nng gilas,s tingin k mahirapan c ababou at al husaini,c norwood nman ang problema hndi masyadong shooter,ok c williams dhil may rebound at lakas tumalon sscore pa bli all aroundang weapon nng gilAS ANG SHOOTING AT BILIS..CONGRATS GILAS

Congratulations!!!! to Smart Gilas for winning the 3rd place at 21st Dubai invitational basketball tournament. We thanks and congratulates to the young warriors with big hearths, dedication to win and sacrifice for the country under the genius Mentor(Coach Toroman) who understant how to counter the weakness and to attack the opponents. As I watched follow the every games at the internet, the team need more ceiling to defense our opponent under the board. If Sampson is healthy we can win the semifinal game imagine CJ Giles who made the score under the board without him. We need big man like Eman, a healthy big import for naturalization. With our win results are as follows:
1) The FIBA now believed how the Philippines is serious regarding our basketball program and the people behind the orgization are serious with their obligation in favor for our country's pride. We are on the right direction!!!.
2) Regain the respect of our asian neighbor and in the world of Basketball.
3) Olympic Dream and Beyond....- It is near to our target to play and qualify in 2012 olympic and beyond.... I hope the program will maintain/continue for long period of time.
4) Prebably soon to have a Filipino player to play at the NBA rank.
Note: Wag sana pag interesan ng PBA ang mga
player ng Gilas. Euroleague or NBA pwede.

This is an appeal to the PBA.
Please let go of some of your players eyed by RT, since it will probably be 3 players at the most. RT can see potentials on talents that he can train for positions within his system.
The longer they stay on your league the harder it is for Gilas to re-train this guys. Anyway, if your main objective is for business, imagine what boost it will give your league, if it is perceived as a supporter of the NT rather than an antagonist.
More power to PBA and Smart Gilas.
ang galing nyo mga tol...
i also agree, it's a high time for the pinoy ballers to look for "conditioning coach", like alex ariza is to pacman.
credit goes to coach Toroman for a job well done.He steered the international brand of game back to the Filipinos. of course there's the RP-5's fighting spirit which is best demonstrated here. So far so good. We still need a couple of big men who can muscle inside and take good perimeter shots. Slaughter and Ballesteros are shoo-ins. Perhaps we can enlist Gian Chiu and Cebu's Junmar Fajardo for more ceiling. Forget about some expensive ex-NBA players. If there should be one player coming from the PBA, then Kelly Williams is best all around player who can fit in well. - Anthony Chua / Cebu City
eto palit nyo kay sampson pili lang kau..
BRIAN CARLWELL 6'11''
MIKE TISDALE 7'1''
HASHEEM THABEET 7'3''
those guys are athletic and dominant big men walang binatbat c sampson at giles nitong tatlo..pero para saken i choose hasheem thabeet..parang olajawon ang laro at hayup sa bloock sahoots at reboound maganda perimeter shooting buo ang loob at higit sa lahat may puso mag laro..

CONGRATS TO SMART GILAS TEAM...TAYO TALAGA ANG TALENTED SA BASKETBALL DITO SA ASIA...AT LEAST BUMABALIK NA ULIT...GO PHILIPPINES...LAHAT NG GAME ME PUSO TALAGA SA PAGLALARO ANG BAWAT ISA...KAYANG KAYA NYO PA IYAN..MORE POWER..MORE PRACTICE AND GOD BLESS...THANKS DIN SA MGA NAG SUPPORT
Some fans are mentioning Kelly Williams. I watched his Santa Lucia club play uninspiring basketball down the stretch in their knockout game just a few hours ago.
He may be the most physically gifted PBA player but I was disappointed that the former MVP didn't take control in the latter stages of a do or die match. He did play well the first three quarters and had little help (Marlou Aquino busted his tail.)
Having said all that I would still ask Kelly if he will suit up with Smart Gilas (I'm not an idiot!) Maybe Stanley Pringle can join Chris Lutz but I don't want to take away playing time from Chris Tiu. Baracael looks good but it would be nice to have a Mike Hrabak type guy with a little more size at the 3 (though Baracael is a better defender.)
It's obvious that Japeth needs an able big man next to him to be more effective. None of us know the situation with Jamal Sampson. We should not assume that he is motivated to represent a foreign country. I'd rather see a PBA veteran as the starting center in the Asian Games, along with Samigue Eman and use an import who has lived in the Philippines for a few years.
I live in Cleveland, Ohio. I've been hoping to see Gian Chiu play here for nearby Oberlin University. He has not played this season. Where is he?
they were saying that gian chiu is too smart to play basketball... nabasa ko before that he is almost near "genius" level... top of the class type
mga tol,di ko napanood games ng gilas alam ko malaki n improvement nila,the fact is we are very happy on wat theyed done but we didnt think the fact that these arab teams played with three impoprts is failliar with their system??ayun ang tanong diba?
kya nga dapat ngaun plang mkakuha n ang gilas ng naturalized player that would stay for long and also love the country di ung nglalaro lng pra sa perang ibinabayad sa knila ng smart..may point ung nkaisip kay alexander beside the fact n may height and mobile sya..andun pti ung factor that he might love playing for our flag because he onced play here in our country,,tama n ang kelly williams or norwood or dilinger,,these kids are the best..just two big men and 1 height gifted sooting guard we can defeat iran national team,,or w\even china with yao ming,,trust me..coach rajko is a basketball genious!@!!!
CONGRATS KAY JV CASIO!!!!!ANG GALING TALAGA!!!BEST GUARD!!!!AS I EXPECTED|!!!MATALINO KASI SYANG GUARD!!!HINDI NYA CARE KUNG HINDI MATAAS SCORE NYA BASTA PARA SA TEAM!!!
para naman ibibigay ng grizzlies si thabeet ng ganun kadali..
Iba talaga ang gilas ng smart gilas
Pambihirang Team : Dream Team na to!
MABUHAY MGA PINOY, RP Smart Gilas team plus Part- Pinoy NBA Star Nate Robinson lalong lalakas.Congrats mga bro!!!!!
Sana ma e balik na ang Honor ng Pilipinas sa Asian Basketball. GO GILAS!!!! malayo ang mararating ninyu!!! PBA PANIS...
CONGRATS SMART GILAS!yOU CAN ADD JIMBO AQUINO AS ANOTHER SHOOTING PROSPECT,PLUS FAJARDO, GIAN CHIU AND YES, THE LANGUISHING EMAN OF SMB!!! MAYBE WE DON'T NEED A SAMPSON AT ALL...
Resty of Greenpark Cainta
in my own opinion, we should give this young pinoys the credit that they deserved. Bakit ba pilit pa natin e sali yong PBA players sa eksena, Yeng Guiao should focus on his POLITICS sa probinsya nya at wag sa mga batang manlalaro. Matuto na sana tayo, wag e represent ng PBA ang Pilipinas, iba ang orientation nila. Lets rally behind these young athletes, GO GILAS!!!!!
