It’s no secret that there’s a disparity in size and talent between Gilas Pilipinas and its opponents in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament and having a solid, near-perfect defense is the only way for the national team to get a chance in pulling off upsets.

“We were good against Turkey, we were better against Poland, but we have to be at our best from here on out. We need to limit our turnovers and get locked in defensively. It’s not just about competing, it’s all about winning,” said Gilas assistant coach Richard Del Rosario. “If we play like this we’re not playing through it to win. We’re not even trying anymore. Not even f****** hurts to get back you didn’t even come to help on that pass. Nothing. It’s not even about ‘hey lets lets do it’, that’s b*******, it’s about doing your jobs fellas,” said Cone.
