Heroes were aplenty for Gilas tonight
- Scottie aggressive offensively right from the get-go (made Gilas' first 3 and wasn't gun-shy the rest of the night)
- Newsome putting the clamps on Rondae
- Kouame battling inside against JOR's more experienced bigs
- JB, of course
Saya.
PBA 3x3 Grand Finals delayed for a while as smoke filled the venue.
Details still scarce as of the moment but accounts said that a fire broke out at the Red Gate side of Araneta Coliseum.

Gotta give credit to Kevin Alas, too. Scored all 5 of his points in the fourth quarter, got Gilas to within just 4 twice. Laking bagay ng dribble penetration. Helped PHI a lot kaya nakabalik 🙌

I just find it absurd that some local coaches are now batting for foreigners for the Gilas coaching job, knowing that some of these dudes lambasted the shit out of Tab when he offered his first impression on Pinoy coaches back in 2020
Gilas Youth teams this 2023:
- Gilas Girls won the FIBA U16 Women's Championship Division B to earn Division A promotion
- Gilas Boys secured a ticket to the FIBA U17 Basketball World Cup by reaching the FIBA U16 Asian Championship semifinals
Saya. 🙌
"I'm excited to play for this team. I've heard they're one of the best teams over here, and they've won a lot of championships. So I just wanna bring my game, bring what I can do to this team."

Serving as a dampener to Ginebra's Game 6 win was LA Tenorio suffering a groin injury during the third quarter.
The PBA's 'Iron Man', however, allayed fears.
"Malayo sa bituka," he said.
Tenorio is headed straight to the hospital for an MRI.

Petition to move the Gilas-Korea game from its original 3pm sked to 6pm. Or 7pm. Basta gabi. This should be on prime time.
Excuse my language but I really feel like shit's about to go down on Sunday lol
Ito talaga 'yung ipinagtataka ko noon pa. Bakit ba laging kinukwestiyon ang pagiging PIlipino nila? Hindi mahalaga kung saan ka ipinanganak o kung saan ka lumaki. Pilipino sila by the mere fact na pinili nila maglaro para sa Pilipinas. We shouldn't even be discussing this, fam

I do understand that it's purely fan voting, but I honestly believe that Maverick Ahanmisi and Don Trollano should be there. Kinda disappointing that the fans overlooked two players who have been playing at a high level this season.
This Christmas crowd of 18,252 is the largest since 20,224 in Game 6 of last season's Governors' Cup (04-22-22) also at the MoA Arena, where Ginebra clinched the title by beating Meralco, 103-92, per league stats chief

Might be unpopular but Gilas can actually afford to lose this one. They can still finish at no. 2 in Group A to make it to the crossover semis, but will have to beat Singapore on Saturday to boost that chance

Massive, massive loss for EASL from a marketing standpoint. Got nothing but love and respect for Meralco. They can and they will compete, no doubt. But if you're an upstart league and you lose arguably the biggest crowd drawer among the participating clubs, that would hurt.
