It's ironic to see limited efforts from players with maximum salary.
I wish they would apply "sabermetrics" in those financially challenged PBA teams to acquire players who are value for their money.
I voted for Jordan..but I don't expect any team to dominate this group with a 3-0 record. I predict this group will have the top two teams at 2-1. hopefully RP NT get past this group of death

just stay focus and play hard....
we can beat the odds...
go team PHILIPPINES!!!
WE BELEIVE!!!
Iran bcz they missed 2 players Kamrani and Jaber Rozbahani,i think they will be a tough team to beat them.
Proud to be Lebanese
My mind say's Jordan will top group A but it does not means they are the strongest team in that group...
Impossible is Nothing!!!
RP at least 2nd place...probably Jordan or China B at top...

1-Iran or China
2-Jordan or Rp
Proud to be Lebanese

Oh how much time flies hopefully we will never underestimate anybody
LETS GET IT ON!!!
PHI - Romero vows to restore Philippines' pride
MANILA (Southeast Asia Basketball Association Champions Cup) - Mike Romero has pledged to "bring back the glory" when he leads the Philippines in the Southeast Asia Basketball Association Champions Cup next week.
Romero's team - formed entirely of domestically-based players - will be the first Philippine side to compete internationally since FIBA lifted a suspension on the country in February of this year.
Basketball is the most popular game in the country, and Romero knows all eyes will be on his team.
"Let's bring back the glory," he said.
"This is the first Philippine team that will compete internationally since the FIBA suspension.
"And there is pressure because 87 million Filipinos are expecting no less than the championship."
Romero has won back-to-back titles with Harbour Centre in the Philippines Basketball League, but said nothing would compare to his new task, which is to steer the national team to an international crown.
"I consider this the biggest challenge of my life - winning for our country," he said of the coming tournament, which also serves as a qualifier for the FIBA Asia Champions Cup.
If the Philippines qualify, the all-pro team being coached and handled by Chot Reyes will take the place of the PBL selection, which is looking at two of Julius Nwosu, Jessie King and Sam Ekwe as their allowed import quota.
President Manny Pangilinan made a rare appearance as the team was unveiled at the Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum and was just as optimistic as Romero.
He said: "I'm quite excited - it's very important for us to win the championship if only to signal the return of the Philippines in international competition.
"There's no option but to win."
Pangilinan admits he doesn't expect the title to come on a silver platter since all the competing countries are allowed to field as many as two imports, mostly Americans.
He added: "Will the games be a blow-out?
"It will be difficult because each of the other teams are also allowed to field imports, like Thailand and Malaysia.
"We have to be vigilant with what these teams will be doing."

Jordan is overrated The chinese and iranians are being underestimated
it can also be
3-0 china iran rp or jordan
2-1 anyone
1-2 anyone
0-3 anyone
this is really the group of death
Looks like Jordan leave to its billing the favorites in the group
Hi,
I think jordan team has a historical chance
to have a birth in the olympics next year, by being
in the first 4 rankings in this cup.
they have almost complete team eqiupped with players
at a high level of experience and skill (esp. Alkhas and douglas) and a very
professional coach (portuguese Mario Palma) who guided angola to the olympics and will try to repeat it with the jordan team.
i think jordan have a great chance to qualify from this year and get a
3-0 record.
for the second team i think it will be the philipines.
I'll say this much: On of the contenders in the finals, could come from this "Group of Death". That's how strong it is right now.
yeah!!!...yeah!!!...the poll might just become true at the actual game... the team who wants it more could become the champion. who wants it more?...the poll can tell you! the 90-million filipinos want it and will back up the 12-man team Pilipinas at tokushima and that would mean a lot for our team. who knows...its as unpredictable as it can be...but i dont think team pilipinas will lose to jordan. so as with china b and iran...we can beat lebanon, korea, c. taipei, japan and who else?...show your NT to our team pilipinas and we'll beat them one by one!!!....hell yeah!!!...Team Pilipinas rocks!
*sigh*
don't worry man, two weeks from now it wont be a dream anymore... i know it will be tough but im pretty sure our NT would end up the champion...
...and you might just flip your face off!
