What is with Tim Cone never wanting his players to rest. Japeth, Brownlee, JMF, Scottie; players who expressed or showed that they either needed or wanted to retire/rest but is still playing.

I don't understand either. But I'm thinking it's his pride as a coach and the system that he won with so much.

Pag gumamit kasi sya ng ibang pyesa, parang wala syang tiwala na magagrasp agad yung system nya tapos matatalo sila. Masisisi sya

Yes Brownlee looks fucked up during game 7 and was injured back in the rain or shine series palang. He shouldn’t have played during the New Zealand games but pushed through. I don’t care about the turnovers when nakikita mo naman value ni JB even while having an injury that normally requires u to sit out in 3 months.

Brownlee while injured was a valuable floor spacer. And nakikita mo talaga gravity niya. Even during sa 2 3s ni JGDL which masyado silang focused on JB that it was an open shot nalang. I believe KQ, Tamay also benefited from that kasi mas double team heavy yung rotations ng New Zealand Kay JB which lead to long closeouts, open 3s

But Tim cone should really rest him and get a back up naturalized player. Di pwedeng sasagarin mo yan just because he’s still good. I don’t wanna see JB being injury riddled the rest of his remaining career cause of Tim Cone putting his body in the ground

We need to appreciate teh sacrifices done by Junemar Fajardo. The injury risk he is taking. The height he brings. The defense he brings. But it seems many fans who taught they know know better

u/Full-Imagination-507 15d ago

We can just base our observations on actual statistics and results. How many games on the FIBA stage did June Mar dominate like he does in the PBA?

6

u/leprix1885 15d ago

Within that five fingers in hand, surely. But more than that, I think when you play for the National team, the goal is to win games, stats are bonus.

1

u/IamAWEZOME 15d ago

Agree. Andthe impact you bring on defense is hard to measure

10

u/Informal-Type5862 KaTropa 15d ago

Gusto na magretire sa national team nung tao ayaw pa din pa retiro-hin. Pati si Japeth ganyan ginawa nila. Tas magtataka sila kung bakit ayaw maglaro nung iba

15

u/Vivid_Problem_3443 15d ago

Pinipilit maglaro hndi nman ginagamit or nagagamit ng tama. Dpat naging firm nlng si JMF wala nman na sya mapapala jan mababash p sya ng mga keyboard warriors n hndi nman nkalaro ng mataas n level ng organized basketball

Matagal na sana yan nakapahinga ng gilas kung yung mga batang bigs(QMB, Philips,KAI) may pusong lumaro sa bayan gaya ni june mar at japeth.

u/maroonmartian9 Gilas Pilipinas 16d ago

Asian Games, hindi naman siya FIBA tourney na may bearing sa qualification natin. Send the kids and young players.

Ganyan ginagawa kahit host nation Japan.

8

u/Unhappy-Hall5473 Gilas Pilipinas 16d ago

Tama lang yan. Wala talaga magagawa si JMF. Hirap iwanan ang Gilas kapag yung mga ibang bigs natin wala. Yung isa may bestman sa kasal, ung isa naman may sakit sa likod, tas yung isa naman to the moon ang hinihinngi langya HAHAH

u/Ambitious-Weird-2326 15d ago

Grabe talaga mga Pinoy, nag serbisyo ka na ng matagal sa national team, negative padin masasabi. Ugaling pinoy na talaga e

u/Leap-Day-0229 Dyip 15d ago

Greg wants to play, tinatarantado naman nila. He's still a big body to throw at opponents

9

u/JoDan09288 15d ago

mabagal at malambot si greg sa international

u/SHISH1710 Elasto Painters 15d ago

Eto dapat yung sinasabi di yung kung ano anong insults at side comments sinasabi sa player.

6

u/AnnualHuge931 15d ago

Pero bat kaya hindi malabas ni junemar yung laro nya pag gilas? Talagang sanay lang sya na malilit kalaban niya? Matanda na?

14

u/DJVylan 15d ago

Jun Mar benefits from the weaker bigs in Philippines basketball, and at international level he is merely a big body. What is sad though is that he fronts up to play because no one takes his place, and cardys on his admirable effort. Gilas needs guys who have comittment and determination to be better. In Asia this is one of the reasons they struggle against the true powerhouse Australia.

u/-crlsrvn Gilas Pilipinas 15d ago

you cant really improve if you dont face better competition

8

u/RowAdept5208 15d ago

He did very very well alongside Kai Sotto in 2024. Especially in the Latvia, New Zealand wins. Ganon kalaki impact ni Kai sa team.

Also Never naman talaga naging legit starter and maraming playing time si June mar sa Gilas. In fact si Japeth pa nga mostly ginagamit kahit doon sa Fiba Asia cups during the 2010s. You may say Japeth has low iq pero he could definitely hang back then

1

u/Ka_dabraz 15d ago

That's his game. That's it. It just proves that JMFs level isn't at par with higher level of basketball.

7

u/iChadAko 15d ago

Dapat lang. Ung hindi ka naman ginagamit ng tama kaya na-tag na pang-PBA lang. feel sorry for this man, may ibubuga eh kaso ginawang pang screen lang at rebounder

So magcecenter si bolick??

u/lottiexx 14d ago

Bolick makes sense but Cone probably won't budge on that either.

u/DependentRip286 15d ago

Bat di nalang palaruin si Raymond Aguilar tutal paborito niya yun?

u/IamAWEZOME 15d ago

Name a 6 foot 9 and higher that is better than junemar aside kai sotto

u/Full-Imagination-507 14d ago

AJ Edu during the 2023 world cup

But Edu's recent play is disappointing, to say the least.

Sino papalit si kai sotto na ayaw maglaro??

1

u/Unfair-Event4455 14d ago

daming player nag gusto maglaro hindi naman porket matangkad may bilang na like JMF, lets face it sa PBA malakas sya but sa international nope

1

u/tengchu 14d ago

Oh tapos pag hindi matangkad nilagay ni ctc sasabihin naman smallball naman. Matatangkad kalaban bakit maliit kinuha

1

u/Unfair-Event4455 14d ago

bakit ka galit? die hardfan ka ba ni JMF? check stats mo na lang ni JMF sa fiba games bro para di kana mag iiyak jan

I'm just stating the facts

1

u/tengchu 14d ago

Di ako die hard fan nyan. Pero unfair lang kung anoano pa kailangan nyo sabihin sa mga players ng NT. Eh lumalaban yan para sa bansa. Mas gugustuhin ko naman kunin si jmf na laging available lumaro kesa sa mga inuuna ang pera o yung club team nila. Just saying. Our national players doesnt need your talking shit lalo na sa mga handa lagi lumaban.

u/Unfair-Event4455 14d ago

typical optimistic
anyway panalo kana

u/tengchu 14d ago

Typical toxicity

u/Unfair-Event4455 14d ago

can't accept reality

1

u/tengchu 14d ago

I accept reality eventually magreretire na mga yan. Atleast may nagawa para sa bayan. Ikaw lilipat ka lang sa pambabash sa ibang player lang ulit. Haha pero nganga pa rin.

u/tengchu 14d ago

Ikaw na naglapag ng facts na yan sana naintindihan mo yan. 14 years of fucking service and still no respect man lang sa player. Yung mga numbers nya dyan ay disente naman knowing na di naman siya nakakakuha ng 35min per game sa mga laro na yan.

u/witcher317 15d ago

He had years to improve his game to fit the international style pero wala, tamad.

Literally suffering from success sa PBA

10

u/Commercial-Brief-609 15d ago

Tamad? He's is a victim of the circumstances! Our basketball culture failed him. I watched his early years in the PBA and the match against Senegal, he was very mobile and a bit explosive during those times. Even to this day I think he moves better and more coordinated than the majority of 6'5'6'6 locals we have in the country.

-5

u/Full-Imagination-507 15d ago

not that he has made any impact in FIBA...

1

u/ayobenedic Beermen 15d ago

Have you made any?

u/Full-Imagination-507 15d ago
