1:23When the national team begins its title retention bid against the tiny West Asian squad on Friday in the Asian Games in Aichi, Nagoya, Japan. Reports that came out on Tuesday noted that the Bahrain national squad will be reinforced by four naturalized players, something that was not lost at all for Cone, who'll be handling a PBA-backed Gila's team for the quadrennial games. That's what we are planning for, Cone said, when asked about the four naturalized players that Bahrain has tapped for the Asian Games. But we are waiting for the technical committee meeting to see the official lineup. The Garden Online website mentioned that Resident Jockar Samson will be part of the Bahrain squad for the Asian Games, along with reinforcements Aro Sillage, a 6-10 big man, who hails from Serbia, a Lijetamas, a 6-9 forward who played for Clemson and Texas A&M in college, and recently played professionally for Al-Edea Had in Saudi Arabia, as well as Wingman Austin and Juqua. Among the four, the seven-foot Samson is expected to provide the inside presence for the team, given his size and immense basketball experience, having played in the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers, the Chicago Bulls, the Denver Nuggets,

2:28Sacramento Kings, and Indiana Pacers, despite going undrafted in 2014. Giles has its own problems to handle in its preparations for the Asian Games. Aside from getting man-handled twice after lopsided losses at the hands of the Korean national team and the invetational games over the weekend, Kohn already confirmed that naturalized player Justin Brownlee won't join Giles to fill in the 12th and final spot. Justin will not join us, said Kohn. And even though Kohn mentioned they were hopeful that seven-foot three Filipino big man Kai Sato could have filled in that vacant 12th spot that won't materialize after all. We were hoping Kai would join us as our 12th man, and he wanted to come, but like his counterparts in Japan and Korea, he was prohibited to join, Kohn told them in ill times. Sato's bid to return to play in Japan looks rosy when Korean Gunner Lee Hyun-jung signed an exhibit 10 NBA contract with the Portland Trail Blazers, leaving an Asian quote-a-import spot open for the Filipino big man. Kohn said TNT dead shot Calvin Off-Tana is filling in the 12th and final spot for the national team in the Asian Games.

3:28The sweet shooting off-Tana is expected to arrive and join the national team on Wednesday in Japan. Calvin Off-Tana is stepping in as our 12th man. He is arriving this Wednesday, afternoon. We hope in time to make our practice schedule today. Kohn told them in ill times. Why can't we get AI to production? Our competitors are already out. We keep data secure. When do we actually see ROI?
