Robert Bolick thinks Gilas Pilipinas' FIBA World Cup fiasco was a result of their limited preparation time Full story:

Robert Bolick stressed the need for a longer preparation time after the Philippines’ World Cup campaign ended without a single win in 5 games following ato find time to prepare, especially for a tournament of this magnitude, the World Cup,” Bolick said in a mix of Filipino and English. “It’s the best teams here. This isn't to be taken lightly.”

That obviously did not work out well for the Philippines as it lost by a combined 147 points and could wind up dead last in the 32-nation joust – a painful setback after placing No. 21 out of 24 countries in the 2014 edition. “It sucks. Losing. 0-5. I just feel bad for the coaching staff, they really did well. They scouted, some of them have no sleep,” Bolick said.
