nice going team Pilipinas! Hopefully, that "crowd favorite" Dispo will eventually show us his true value.

mukhang lamang lang talaga sa ekspiryensa ang mga beterano sa team, hehe... matututo din si Dispo ng mga veteran moves dyan sa mga seniors natin sa team. :)

Great effort but no win

Vietnam played like it was no tomorrow against Pilipinas in their Asian Cup match but came up still with a 114 to 100 loss. Lyndon dela Pena is starting to assert his leadership with the Pilipinas squad as he had another great game leading the team to victory with a 24 points, 13 assists 4 rebounds 2 steals and one block performance playing 46 minutes. Marlon Benedicto got his A game on again as he contributed 22 points 5 rebounds and 2 assists with Johnas Dispo dropping 20 points 9 rebounds 1 assist 1 steal and 1 block to crush Vietnam's hope of an upset victory.

The game saw very physical play with two Vietnam players crashing out of the game due to injuries. When asked by the reporters after to comment about how rough and dirty Pilipinas players are Lolo Smithz had this to comment. "We can't control what happens in the court. Sometimes a little contact can cause a player to slip or fall awkwardly. Maybe they had lousy fitness training that is why they are so injury prone."

"Idol ko kasi si Jaworski and si Yeng Guiao. They are the masters of the art of defense. Defense wins games (including making sure their top players get to stay in the bench)" :D

nice win pa din lo.

good to see din na nagcocontribute ng maganda ang mga "in-prime" players natin as key players at nabibigyan ng playing time of the bench ang mga future stars naman ng NT. cheers to lolo and for the future of NT! :)

mag ingat ka lang manager lolo smithz, reresbak daw ang Nguyen family. 👅

crunch time? no problem... keep calm and believe in coach Lolo. :) sana sweep sa group stage.

Lyndon dela Pena again showed why he is the premier point guard of the Philippines as he put on a show in the first quarter of the 128 to 96 drubbing of Kazakhstan by Team Pilipinas last night. Lyndon dela Pena already had 11 points 5 assists and 3 rebounds by the end of the 1st quarter and ended up with 21 points (9-12 shooting) 12 assists 4 rebounds and 1 steal. His pinpoint passing was too much for the Kazakhs to handle as the game was over early. Johnas Dispo had 20 points 6 rebounds while Marlon Benedicto had 16 points, 12 rebounds 2 assists and 1 steal to his name to help seal the game early.

"Lyndon dela Pena had officially been named captain of this seasons NT squad." Lolo Smithz announced during the post game interniew. "The way he has been playing the past few games is really amazing. Really befitting Lyndon dela Pena who was tipped on an early age as a PG prodigy and was in the NT team already in this early 20's. At 29 he is at his prime and raring to take on the best of the best worldwide. He needs to be at his best as many PG's are raring and lurking in the wings ready to take over the starting PG spot from him."

"I expected a better game from Kazakhstan. They were 3-0 but was really surprised early on they couldn't keep up with us. Next game is against Singapore then after the final game in the first round against the dreaded many times Asian Champs China."
