Tweets of the Day: Gilas vs Palestine

September 23, 2015

It started out great and predictable, then it got ugly, then it ended with a sick twist straight out of a David Fincher film. We have no words to describe what happened in Gilas Pilipinas’ first game of the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship, so we’ll let these tweets speak for us.

Lets go gilas..

Dear @FIBA , look at the gate attendance. Smh hold a tourney here in Manila and you'll make money. #fibaasia

Sakakini talked trash after hitting a 3 vs Ping. Tried to go one on one with Blatche. Blocked. Dray with the Undertaker cut throat after.

Baka gutom na si Blatche kaya gusto na niya tapusin ng maaga?

JC, kung gusto ko matawa ilipat ko na lang muna sa Aldub kaya.

No silver linings here. This is a horrible loss.

Relax. There are only 3 games we can't afford to lose – QF, SF and finals. Of course we have to beat HK and Kuwait which we should

Low budget team, no training camp, no proper training facilities, played with only 8 players.. Palestine were all out n with nothing to lose

We don't need Junemar and Marcio to beat Palestine. No excuses. Bad effort lang guys.

….. This is the best time to show real support. The blame game is getting old. This is a test they will survive! #LabanPilipinas #PUSO

Good fight pa rin. This loss will only make them play harder to win over Hong Kong and Kuwait. 👊 #LabanPilipinas #PUSO
