Brazil v Philippines - Press Conference | FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament 2024 - Latvia 

I didn't expect Gilas Pilipinas to beat everybody in this tournament. they achieved beyond my expectations... building an Olympic team doesn't happen overnight.. This Philippine team was formed to qualify for the 2028 Olympics not in this years olympics. but they qualified for this OQT. and surprised everyone.. kudos to the team.

Missing kai and aj edu was huge. It wasnt their time yet. Still lots of lessons learned. Very proud of Gilas!

Congratulations, Brazil. We love you, our Gilas team, and we thank you. We know you did your best. Our own sweet time will come. God bless you all even more.❤

Let’s comeback strong in 2028. Expect a stronger and more solid Kai, Dwight and the rest of the younger players. Proud of you Gilas❤❤❤

Gilas all the way no matter what! Still proud of the performance for this 0QT, euro and Americas team can't bully us anymore in the court.

tim coach is indeed a gem in the gilas lineup... salute sir

Still proud of you guys for reaching this far.

Hope we can be Better, Improve Team in next FIBA😍👍 come back Stronger, more Confident Players. Regardless about the Referee sometimes we all know it will never be on our side wether we are on Asia, elsewhere😍👏 we Lose today.... but still we WON against Latvia, fought hard against Georgia it's a Great Achievement for CTC😍♥️👏 Thanks

Gilas, Coach Tim, PH team still we're proud of you've achieved.. ❤ Bawi tayo next time.

Now FIBA around the globe knows how the GILAS🇵🇭 dangerous and competitive in Basketball🏀🇵🇭PROUD NOYPI🇵🇭

Getting in the semis nd beating higher ranks teams s already a huge accomplishment for the team nd d coaching staff. very proud of u gilas. d whole world respects us now nd we have proved 2 them that Philippine Brand of Basketball at its best. we may soar in the world ranking

Brazil made a very good adjustment defensively and their offense comes naturally with ease

Congrats to both teams especially team Brazil,but I observed the ref's call to gilas are not good compared to Brazil that's why gilas team were in foul trouble

Congratulations Brazil & Gilas Pilipinas ...what a ball game!

PILIPINO DIN AKO KAYA TANGGAPIN NYO NA ANG PAGKATALO ,GANUN TLGA SA SPORTS WAG NA KAYO MAG COMMENT NA SINISISI ANG FIBA!!!

How to get to the next level? Hopefully, Gilas players will avoid injuries by getting stronger. I hope that they can improve on their bigs outside shooting. Fundamentally, their bigs can shoot even beyond the 3 point line. They just need to consistently do it with more practice shooting on an individual basis. This Gilas version has the potential to be much better. I hope this loss against a very good Brazil team does not dampen their desire to play for the national team.

Proud of you Gilas..congrats Brazil

Proud of you gilas 🇵🇭💪.

maraming salamat gilas were proud of guys

We still proud of our team🇵🇭

Congratulations Brazil. You played really great tonight, it's all love no hate, I wish you all for the best and I hope our national team can play again 😊😊

that's ok at least you guys did your very best, and they did scouted you, because you are so good, Olympic qualifying entered in the semis wooow that already a "feather on your hat"

Minsan ang ugali ng ibang pinoy o tlangkang pinoy,pag nanalo pinupuri ang lahat ng players at si CCT,peru ngayun na talo sisi nlng ang lahat...sna mag kaisa tayu manalo matalo sna magka isa tayu,,,

Still proud of our Gilas Pilipinas team. ♥♥♥

Brazil really planned for justine brownlee

Congratulations to brazil

We can compete with the top teams, that’s the most important thing that came out of the tournament. Continue with coach Cone’s program.

Well get better no excuses for this loss but if we get all the core of this team let's see. Aj edu ,malonzo, and Scottie. But thank you for all the player for fighting hard Laban Pilipinas ❤❤❤

Para sakin good game kasi 6 nba player ang meron sa kalaban kaya sana sa mga talangka dyan maging proud kayo. Kasi kung may kai tayo kaya natin mas dumikit or manalo pa kasi malaking tulong sya sa likod.

Goooo gilas see next OQt.congrats caoch.

WELL DONE PILIPINAS GILAS - FIBA OQT 20224

THANK YOU GILAS SA PANGGUGULAT SA MUNDO, WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK. PUSO

Philippines is so blessed to have Coach Tim Cone who is full of wisdom and grace. Thanks, FIBA! We'll definitely come back stronger and mightier! In Jesus' name. Amen.

I'll be rooting for 2 teams since my bias failed to secure a ticket. Japan as they are the most familiar Asian country participating, and Brazil because they defeat the Philippines. Hey, give justice for the heartbreak!!! You need to win the olympics! 💯

Yehey🇵🇭

CONGRATS gilas!!!LP❤

I like the mindset Coach Tim.

Referees problem in the 3rd quarter

💪

coocking Show

Still a great outing for the PH team, bounc back hard on the next tourney 👏👏👏

Still proud of our GILAS TEAM!

Salamat gilas.bawi sa susunod

CongratsTeam PHI. They actually overachieved, gained the R-E-S-P-E-C-T of the countries/teams ranked in the Top-25 in the world👏👏👏👏. I think that if Kai wasn't injured, Team PHI would have been able to protect that 1st half lead and make it to the Finals.

ok lang yan mga sir bawi nalng tau next year and do some adjustment

FIBA International Window for the next Fiba World Cup 2027 on the 27th of August in Qatar, slated November 18 2024. FIBA ASIA CUP will start on August 5 2025. Its Long road to prepare our Gilas Team. Probaly way better and stronger with healthy AJ Edu and Kai and build a tougher 2nd unit.

We need a complete and healthy line-up so that if any accident happens on the course of tournament, we still have back-up. Kai's loss impact should have been lesser if we have AJ Edu healthy.

We all know coach Tim is not satisfied. They did unexpected things there they will be better nextime

Pede naman kase manalo at maganda mapakita sa world stage ewan ko ba bakit ayaw bitawan ng isang coach jan nuon pa ayaw gumamit ng centro pero makita mo dalawa pa center kayang kaya nman ngayon

Its Bidatze the reason why we lose

Legit pointguard para iwas agaw at hindi nararattle like jayson castto and alapag. Yung mga big guards natin naaagawan madalas..legit PG we need it pero kung ayaw ni ctc okey lang. Suggestion coming fr a fan lang naman

Malapit ng makaharap ang Gilas Pilipinas ang USA konting ayos nlang ng timpla 😊

Baltazar for Aguilar Add Abando, Boatwright, Abarientos

the whole world knows what gilas pilipinas has capable of were now beast came from asia continent❤🏀🇵🇭

Congrats to Brazil but BiG Congrats to Gilas Pilipinas for reaching semifinals. You can now compete in world level bbal but improve on the losses. :-)

we are now a treat to global basketball if only Kai play the game maybe we beat brazil

Nope, stop it. We lost the game. Congrats to Brazil, we just can't have a break and brazil played well. Bounce back 🇵🇭

Mabuhay Gilas👍

Target of Philippines 🇵🇭 is Los Angeles Olympic and fiba Asia. That's the table talk of Philippines basketball associations. It's become big conflict on their scheduled. The sponsored Target is Los Angeles 2028.they talk in the table.thats their home town. Alot of players is from u.s and also coach tim.alot of pilipino in losAngele. If they win is waste of time. They give also the game to Latvia because without Kai.if you can see coach tim don't adjust in 2nd half. He want to go home

give more playing time and exposure for amos, tamayo and quiambao

Congrats team philippines even if you lost at least Ipinakita niyo na kaya ng team Philippines makipagsabayan sa larangan ng basketball👏👏👏👏

Andaming wala sa line upna magagaling, still proud of gilas🎉🎉🎉

ej edu for aguilar and isang legit point guard nalang kulang ng gilas okay na line up na yan.

This is not yet the right time. Gilas try and try until we succeed. God bless us.

Change tamayo with bates a true center

That was so painful. Sayang. Lost opportunity.

We realy need kai and another point guard who can make quick decision on floor

LATVIA TAYO!🤣

kai Sotto's presence is very important for a possible W

The Philippines should file a protest against Georgia, videos show how a Georgia n player bumped Kai Sotto legs when Kai jumped to deliberately injury him perhaps per instructions of the Georgian coach since they would have lost if Kai played well. The Serbian coach visited the Philippine team after the Brazil game where the injured Kai was not able to play to try to placate us but let us not be fooled and file a protest against Georgia so that this will not be repeated in the future. I think Sotto was th tallest player in the Tournament and made 18 points in the game against Latvia. We could have won the tournament if Kai played in the game against Brazil

Hopefully ctb and ctc mag sanib pwersa...para sa gilas

I hope thomasson wont get away with his dirty tactics next time against any team. I hope fiba will address tactics that are crippling not only to one player but to the whole team

Kung nakalaro sana su Kai. Malamang marami maibabawas sa points ng Brasil inside the paint. Iba pa rin kapag may 7'3" Sa loob na dedepensa sa inside shooting ng kalaban.

Hey, did you see how the refs were calling that game? FIBA is really starting to lose my trust. Kai is injured in a seemingly intentionally manner, reviewing the replay plenty of time. Hindi pwede ma execute ang plays ni Coach kpg wala si Kai.

Brandon bates gilas is calling

Pushing his teammates toward kai

Kinda disappointed because it was a slip up win. Not sure if they were tired. But they didn't have the same focus as in their game against Latvia.

Fajardois hitting those midrange shot i don't know why he stopped shooting midrange.Also ramos hitting from pkng range but he also stopped shooting.

The referree favor in brazil

Gilas beats latvia with some players missing imagine if the line up cone wanted was complete

Heading than Oftana.try Remogat too a guy that can create shot.

You just got lucky with the help of the referee

Sayang wala kasi tayong kaisotto. Laking tulong ni kai sa rebound at depensa😢 hayss si kai din ung isa sa dahilan bat tayo nanalo sa latvia nun umiskorr sya ng 18 points tas rebound plus blocks.

Congrats 👏👏👏👏 gilas....2028 Olympic usa 👋👋😊😹😹😊

Sotto,Fajardo and Boatwright could play the starting front court in the asia qualifiers in November..those Asian teams wouldn't be able to match up w the Size if Boatwright plays the 3 spot at 6'10.

MAGANDA CGURO ANG LABAN KUNG NAG LARO C KAI SOTTO, SAYANG.. BAWE NA LANG NEXT TIME , CONGRATS PARIN KASI ANG TAAS NA NG NARATING TEAM PILIPINAS ❤

3rd quarter ayaw na nilang magshoot. Sunod2 ang turnovers tapos natatakot na yata silang magshoot ng tres. Eversince yan ang problema ng gilas, malakas sa umpisa pero walang consistency. Tapos napansin ko babad ung mga player wala masyado substitution. Yun Brazil panay ang substitution.

Hirap manalo kung pito ang kalaban 😢

Kai would contribute a lot

This squad of Gilas will easily beat the Brazil! Thompson, Ramos, Sotto, Edu, Brownlee Newsome, Abando, Fajardo, Baltazar, Malonzo Abarientos, Tamayo

Gilas played well, but Brazil's defense is too good. CTC also admit it and says they have no answer w/ Brazil's defense. Doesn't mean they can't do anything abt Brazil's defense, it's just that they have only few options that time like Sotto was injured and they only have 11 players on the roster when they entered OQT.

Cone's tendency to stick with first five shows! Bench is eager to contribute!

Refs helps Brazil

Thompson, Ramos, Sotto, Edu, Brownlee Newsome, Abando, Fajardo, Baltazar, Malonzo Perez, Tamayo will easily beat Brazil
