Smart Gilas Serbian Tour



Smart Gilas actually absorbed a twin setback late last week after Vrsac Hemofarm, the second-best ballclub in the Serbian League, whipped the Nationals, 98-67.

A pair of 7-footers, including a 7-5 skyscraper, relentlessly pummeled Gilas in the paint and sent the RP dribblers to their third defeat in four games in their Belgrade training stint.

“Just when we thought the competition can’t get tougher, we learned we will be playing Partizan Team A on Monday,” said Tiu.

Partizan, the Serbian League’s No. 1 team, has reached the Final Four of the Euro League.

Gilas lost to Mettalac Vallevo, 76-86, in its Serbian debut, pulled off a 91-84 stunner over Division I-bound SuperFund and lost to OKK Beograd in a 79-80 decision prior to Vrsac.

Gilas badly needs a tall and talented naturalized player to boost its campaign in this year’s Asian Games in Guangzhou and the 2011 FIBA Asia Championship, the qualifier for the 2012 London Oympics.

WTF? We lost already?

[Lebron23]

WTF? We lost already?

It's just an exhibition game. Our short team goal is to become a top 3 team in Asia this year.

Coach Rajko Toroman is one of the best coaches in Asia. I still believe that someday the Philippine National Basketball Team would play in the FIBA World Championship & Olympics.

Smart Gilas Team are currently training in the US for a series of exhibition games against some American Basketball Association teams.

6:00 PM Sun 23/May Philippines vs Qatar

Good luck to the Smart Gilas Team.

[Kobe8]

What I Hate Bout' The Philippines is , They Can't Play there own players.
Like , They Need To Recruit Someone From The U.S. To Dominate The Game.
David Noel - 6'6 - Former Player Of Milwaukee Bucks, Position SF.
And Now.
Whatever Team He's Playing On , Ginebra?
When I Went Back to The Philippines for vacation and 1st time I Saw him In PBA , I was Like WTF?

Why Can't Be Philippines be Philippines? Be Proud Of there Own Players!
And Plus , They Use The Same Court All The Time!
So You Cant Really Tell Who's Home-Court it is.

I mean , With all that technology now , they can buy there own stadium?
PBA Needs To Be Strict bout that..

I Know What You all gonna say bout this.. They aint rich like the NBA , They Can be If They Start Doing Whats right. See what im sayin?

Its Pathetic.

No Offense to all filipino's. But This Could be a message to the PBA and the President.

Iran defeated Smart Gilas, 81-68 in the 2010 William Jones Cup.

[ghettoracer]

just saw Phillpines vs. Taipei on Taiwan's ESPN while channel surfing. only caught the overtime period which was pretty wild... PH was leading by 7 pts at one point but Douhit made a critical mistake of pointing finger directly at an official after he got fouled (not sure why he did that really, it was just a good hard foul by TPE...) which game TPE 2 freethrows plus possession.

then ref messed up on the last second though, with about 4 seconds left TPE was down by 3, they did a very poor setup for the final shot and Casio (PH) did a great job stripping the shooter. however he proceed to cup the ball and TRAVELED with about 1 second left on the clock still. TPE should have gotten another possession.

PBL = Philippine Basketball League. The Best Amateur basketball league in the Philippines.

UAAP - University Athletic Association of the Philippines. The best and most popular collegiate baskteball league in our country. The main rival of the Local NCAA.

then we choke 2 games in a row, f@cking team is cursed.

Team needs one more bigman and 1 big slasher/perimeter player like the dude from Jordan, that guys almost single handily destroyed China, also needs more shooters like Dondon Hontiveros.

Oh and Japeth Aguilar has got to be a moron so low Basketball IQ glad he was benched when the PBA guys got in.
