Gilas wants Douthit, McGee for national five

Smart Gilas Pilipinas is now preparing to negotiate with Marcus Douthit for a new contract while keeping its line open for NBA player J avale McGee as another option for naturalization. “We’re now getting him back as we’re now forming the national pool,” said Antonio. At the same time, Antonio said McGee is still an option even as the NBA has resumed. ( source ) Javale McGee into the Philippine National Basketball National team ?! , I say its nice but the management must be crazy to even hope for Javale to play for the Philippines . NBA is the place to be for basketball players, even Pinoy players would opt out playing for the national squad if they are offered an NBA contract. McGee is young and tall with a lot of potential. Javale McGee is radical and crazy and does a lot of crazy stuff but i don't believe he is crazy enough to play for the Philippines at this point of his career maybe when he gets older and past his prime he can consider playing. So enough news ... ... See more

Ramon Garcia Hirales Victim of Home cooking!

What else would it be! Ramon Garcia Hirales  vs Donnie Nietes was a close bout and it truly is, unless you failed to watch it and was just reading it from the news then you would think that Donnie really won the fight. Its evident that Ramon Garcia Hirales was the aggressor and was more active compare to Donnie Nietes . the fight was really close. Well at least this is what I think but majority of the judges score it the other way around.  Judges scored the bout 115-113, 118-110 and 117-111 and the winner by unanimous home cooking and the new champ Donnie Nietes . What a shame, unanimous decision? who are you kidding! maybe a split decision for Nietes could have been justified but unfortunately it did not happen! but who am I, I am not an expert so lets just forget about what I think.
