Bulgaria is up next, they have been playing normal all the way so we have an enthusiasm edge, GS this week is not so great. We should make it to the KO round if all goes well. 6 wins buys us a ticket to the next round and Croatia (Hrvatska) is a tough team to beat, they have a 300 k player. My projection is we will close the round robin at 6-2 best case scenario. What I want to avoid is going 5-3 and hoping our PD will carry us.

Croatia/US and this is what we get in the consolation tournament. The World has gotten better guys so we need to catch up.

Senior team training is a long commitment it takes a lot of planning and hard work. With u21 it is 3 seasons, for NT it takes up to 7 seasons plus 1 or 2 for guys who did not have good starting skills. Most of the new guys are built very evenly lots of credit goes to our u21 team and staff plus other Pinoy Vets who help.

Added Santino Libre a very aggressive PF/C, congrats to manager Hbomb of TITANS101 a Pinoy manager who took over from the Pampanga Mighty Dragons. He was part of our u21 team a few seasons back. I was planning to add him during all star break but what the heck lets reward a few Managers for their hard work.

2 slots remaining, send me a bb mail if your player has the skills to make it to the Senior team. Please copy and paste. Thank you.

placed a bid on macarilay he was my original draftee i hope I can get him, guys pagbigyan niyo naman ako sayang pera sa bids

Salamat we still need him, I don't play him much because of GS.

Big win guys over Bulgaria we literally destroyed them. Final score was 113-62. Cleofas played the game of his life, Denaque and Cantara were back to normal and delapena pulled down a surprising 11 rebounds. I cant explain the score or delapena's rebounds except for the enthusiasm advantage and homecourt advantage we had. Gameshape wise halos pareho lang. We needed this after our loss to the U.S.A. Everybody played well. Bulgaria is not an easy team to beat.

Our NT players wake up at the right side of the bed.

News

Macarilay was sold for 1.8M+ to an Uruguayan, still a bargain considering the current prices. Last two slots will most likely be contested by Musa (24), Sto Nino (24) and Montenejo (23). All of them are guards. With the SF positon (our immediate need), we are using Ninal and Solarta in the meantime to back up Dispo. Ninal is a really solid player who was a late addition this season. Oversight on my part, we could have used him to back up Dispo last season.

I will use the last 2 slots this season as a reward for the all the hard work the trainers put in. Hope that is okay with everybody.

We are currently 11th in the standings out of 86 with a 3-1 win-loss card. Our next game will be on the road against Savarktelo. Good luck to all the cup survivors.

Thanks to Manager greedy for scouting Mitchell Loonie Generoso a combo SF/PF. I will use one of our two remaining slots. I hope a Pinoy buys him but if not it is ok. His rebounding will be a big help. He is currently on the transfer list. I am in touch with other u21 graduates (owners). Especially the young ones. Even the new owner of Castro (big man prospect) has started training him. On my last day as your Senior Coach I will endorse a list of players who are really close to making it to the team. Six to seven guys I really like.

I like this team much better than last season. I have more options to choose from. We still have to cover our weaknesses.

Final score Pilipinas 135-78 Sakartvelo. Another solid performance by Cleofas, Dispo and Denaque and the whole team. They went full court press on us. It is good that most of our guys have good handling. We dominated again (we are max with enthusiasm). In our blow out games we are out-rebounding the other team by a wide margin. New addition Mitchell Genoroso was bought by a Division 1 American team (Anchorage all stars) for 2.2m+. We currently have 4 wins and 1 loss with 3 games to go. If we win 2 out of the last 3 games we will qualify in the KO round elimination format. Sa ngayon, Australia, Singapore have good records with HK catching up. Why these 3? We have to do better than them in the KO format to host the Continental tournament.

Last time we qualified in the KO tournament was Season 26 so it is about time. Our remaining schedule:

9/21/2015 2:30:00 AM 59 Hayastan 34 Philippines Pilipinas
9/28/2015 9:00:00 AM 34 Philippines 8 Hrvatska Hrvatska
10/5/2015 2:30:00 AM 90 Cymru 34 Philippines Pilipinas

As you can see, it is only Croatia (Hrvatska) that is ranked higher than us. If we have good GS and maintain our enthusiasm Hayastan and Cymru should secure us the slot. We will try to beat Croatia on the road we are the underdog in that game. So hopefully we take care of business at home against Hayastan.
