Singapore - Team Pilipinas is pacing group B again with an unbeaten record. The showcase win against a confused Saudi Arabian Team was a massacre from start to finish. Coach Morwood used this game to explore the chemistry of this new group. Meanwhile, Coach Kvacic of the Saudi team was shaking his head in frustration as the lead increased from 16pts. in the first quarter to 39pts. at the end of the half. He threw the chair at halftime in disgust over the lack of effort his team displayed, inadvertently hitting the U21 scout who was caught scouting the Team Pilipinas practice a few days ago.
The next three games are going to be tougher and will determine the leader in Pool B. It will be Macau, Indonesia and Hong Kong up next for this overachieving team and staff. The experts predict Indonesia to be the toughest match up for this group.
Only time will tell if Team Pilipinas can surpass last year's miracle run.
In lighter news, the playboy owner of All in was again spotted enjoying the game with local celebrity Angel Locsin. In the very next row, Coach Lolo Smith was visibly irked when the Mother of Manny Pacquiao (Mommy D) was pressing him to include her beloved son in the National Team. When asked why her son was not given a tryout, he simply replied that her son is division 4 material. It is safe to say he will not be getting any free tickets to Mayweather-Pacquiao this May 2 at Las Vegas.
