    do not rejoice.....al ittihad is only one of saudi's ball clubs.
    this is not their national team.

    good tune-up game though.

    ^ club tournament naman talaga ito bro. it may not be the most prestigious trophy to hold aloft but any tournament held by fiba will be helpful in our fiba rankings

    besides, there are national players of other countries in the tournament and w/ humongous and mobile imports to boot. eka nga ni toroman, this will help the team achieve its olympic qualifying dreams

    Filipinos gain quarterfinals with 2nd victory

    MANILA—Smart Gilas Pilipinas unleashed a ferocious second-half surge to crush the Westsports Kuala Lumpur Dragons of Malaysia, 95-64, last night to seal its place in the quarterfinals of the Fiba-Asia Champions Cup at the PhilSports Arena.

    Surprisingly struggling in the first two periods, the Nationals turned to JV Casio, Asi Taulava and Chris Lutz, who keyed a third-quarter binge that boosted the Filipinos to their second straight win for the solo lead in Group A.

    Unforgiving on the defensive end, the Nationals ran the fastbreak at every opportunity and went on to outscore the Malaysians, 59-24, in the last two periods.

    “If we play that way in the second half, we’ll be in a good spot to win the tournament,” said Dondon Hontiveros, who finished with 10 points in a starting role after going 1-of-11 in the 86-59 win over Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ittihad Saturday.

    The Nationals take a break today before battling the Iraqi team Duhuk tomorrow.

    Trailing 39-40 at the break, the Nationals seized control after Lutz made two difficult layups that was followed by two triples by Casio. Another 7-0 spurt propelled Smart Gilas to a 58-44 lead after Casio’s third straight triple.

    While the Nationals put the clamps on Marcus Morrison, they found difficulty dealing with the Dragons’ other import, Christopher Ayer, who poured 15 of his 31 points in the first half to keep his team in the game.

    “We were surprised (at the way Malaysia played),” said Toroman. “It’s a good warning for us to take games more seriously.”

    Al-Rayyan of Qatar gained a share of the lead in Group B with a comprehensive 90-67 victory over Al-Jalaa of Syria earlier, while Al-Ittihad of Saudi Arabia rebounded from a crushing defeat to Smart Gilas with an 83-75 dumping of Iraqi club Duhuk.

    The Qataris unveiled a gem of an import in crafty guard Chauncey Leslie, who shot 30 points, including 22 in the first half.

    Al-Riyadi of Lebanon, starring the legendary Fadi El-Khatib, routed Al-Shabbab of the United Arab Emirates, 109-90, Saturday night.

    watching it right now, Jordan kalaban...grabe ang lalaki ng mga players nila ang sobrang physical maglaro...parang mga bata players natin..lumulipad pag binabangga.

    I don't think meron mararating itong Smart Gilas...too ambitious, tangapin na natin na pag dating sa international sports hinde uubra basketball ang Phils.

    tough win by the gilas boys

    iba talaga ang international ball, talagang bugbogan sa loob at sa labas. mas na-excite pa ako dito kesa sa game 1 ng nba finals kanina. siguro kasi wala akong affinity for the 2 teams involved that's why (even though spoelstra has balut blood running through his veins)

    it's true though that we have a fat chance in hell to be glorious in basketball in the international arena. but it would be a hoot to see the gilas boys at least make it to the olympics though...that is, if fate is on our side
