Nice Going, Chot

Ahmadinejad must be smiling now. The Islamic Republic of Iran defeated Team Pilipinas 75-69 in the classification phase of the FIBA Asian Championship.

Chot Reyes was slapped a warning for this sort of ridiculous theatrics. As usual, he’s such a drama queen. He spoiled what could have been a come-from-behind-win or a decent loss. No thanks to his unnecessary badgering of the officials down the wire, Team Pilipinas incurred a technical foul that could end up being the death blow to our dreams of playing in the Beijing Olympics.

To add insult are injuries. Asi Taulava, Danny Seigle and Jimmy Alapag all succumbed to injuries in various stages of the game.

Kudos to Kerby  Raymundo and the hopefully-Filipino Mick Penissi for giving us a fighting chance.
