WHY feel sorry?
It was not the players’ fault but the inability of the officials to sort out their problems. It took them years to resolve it and then form a team which is less than a year old.
Congratulations to all the players for giving a good fight!

Basketball is not for Filipinos. We have to admit that.

probably mr. chot reyers is trying to psych the mind of the basketball fans in this country or just presenting the strategies or planned trail on how to get there (beijing). placing 9th is not in the sphere of luck the truth is we need more hardwork to get there.our players have the qualities at par with the rest of asia but we have to revive those days when we declare supremacy in this kind of sports. the days when the country make pride with players playing in world cup and olympics.
it actually extremely add to our national pride and it make me prouder to be a true blooded filipino when our country do best in international scene.
please lets patch this up… im waiting for this moment. to have the philippines played again in world cup and olympics… hope it is nearer than i can imagine

Eventhough that we as fans are a bit frustrated about the outcome of FIBA, we still support the RP Basketeers. What happend is, we expected a victory from them and what I think is, they’re a bit overconfident coming on this game (not tired). I think FIBA intentionally made the bracketing (because they knew how powerful the RP team is). Well better luck next time. I know we can still make it, with a lot of talents nowadays.

I fail to understand why we filipinos are still fixated with basketball. We can’t seem to accept that the sport isn’t for us. I’ve given up on filipino basketball the day when the PBA players competed internationally & lost to China. I realized then that we are not the best in asia as we thought we were. Let’s give other sports a chance.
