After all the hype about Jordan Clarkson and Kai Sotto. After all the foaming in the mouth about ball movement, the bitterness, sadness, and disappointment all ...

There was a lack of communication between the coaches and players. They were fresher in the homestretch. The SBP needs a revamp from top to bottom. And everyone knows the system is broken. No one played in excess of 35 minutes while nine others logged at least 12. That needs to change. After all the hype about Jordan Clarkson and Kai Sotto. But based on my count, Gilas did not run a single pick-and-roll. The fans are not stupid. Instead of focusing on the prep, SBP appears to be more inclined on the headlines, screaming all about Clarkson and Kai and all that jazz. It also needs to bring in a program director and a head coach that is more attuned to the international game. After all the foaming in the mouth about ball movement, the bitterness, sadness, and disappointment all stayed the same.

I’m not the only guy on the bench that go in and produce. “I have no control over when I’m going in and the minutes I play but I’ll stay ready. “It’s not easy but I kinda had similar situations like that when I played for Magnolia during my rookie year. “I think Magnolia kinda prepared me for moments like this. It’s part of the game,’” said Austria. But instead, my technical mistake gave them a free throw and we go to overtime.
