Smart "Choker" Pilipinas is the appropriate name
Jeff chan is the reason Gilas 2 lost the bronze game,
He did not realize that he does not have the rhythm and yet he is forcing the ball, the result? turn-overs twas converted by Qatar!.
And what the heck is the two traveling turn-overs by j.chan? was it obvious na na-ratol cya if important game..
anyways, Every FIBA event kay 4th lang talaga ang Pinas.
some FIBA fan (from different countries) even has a named for Team Pilipinas.
"Instead of Pilipinas Gilas, they should rename it to Pilipinas Choker team. Every FIBA event,
when it counts (during playoffs) they choked and settle for 4th, pang ilang taon na ba to?"
kahit pinoy ako, parang mag aagree na yata ako, during playoffs, this Gilas team of ours CHoked to death
