I have the same observation with the minutes, Coach Obi. Players with high stamina (respectable and above) tend to play more than 70 minutes.

And we have the group.
This time we have been lucky, we avoided the monster group with USA France China Germany and Poland 😂
Our calendar anyway is the worst possible, having to deal immediately with italy and having Israel only as last opponent.
So please give me shaped players because we need to pick up wins sooner than later.
Opponents: Italy, Peru, Egypt, Spain and Israel.

Just for curiosity the first three are our scrimmages of this season 😂

Italy - Philippines 123-89

Mixed feelings after this match. We faced probably the best team in the world and we've been annihilated worse than I expected at first. Our offense is really good, our outside rating is probably the best along all the competition but indeed without defense and rebounding you can't win matches.
Italians big men are outstanding and despite my clinched prediction they shopped baskets for free in our paint.
We can say we allowed many oreb tap in, but generally speaking they are too ahead of us right now where primaries count considering low enth for all teams. Our scorers did it good with de lira torching Italians small forward and gamosa putting up a solid Performance. Our bench didn't do their job and our power forward position has been dismantled in all his rotating players. Lim buiza and Domingo were outscored by salary record man Argappio.
No drama for this loss, we can start our competition next week vs Peru.

Mvp: Bill Leon De Lira

This match pissed me off.
We shot better, we made more assist, we had better ratings, we had better matchups. And we lost.
I can't find a good reason, since basically despite their prediction our flow was brilliant, we did it great on offense.
Rebounding continues to be an issue unfortunately, but indeed losing a match because of our free throws % makes me really sad.
This was a match to win, we lost, so basically now our championship road is really difficult. I hope to find a way to come out, but by the way thanks to you because the roster was greatly shaped.
Unluckily first matches need primaries more than secondaries, in the Asia championship we usually have time to recover primaries during first group, now we're struggling since opponents are really tough.

Oh by the way congratulations to Peru for a great match.
