Lim on Yeo - Mercado Trade:

In essence, Lim said Mercado can do the things Yeo can do - plus he can also defend.

“Mahirap naman magkaroon ng comparison, but it’s just that we need Sol dahil alam mo naman, si Sol, he’s a tough defender, plus he can also score and push the ball as well just like Joseph,” Lim told Spin.ph.

“But I think pagdating sa defensive side, mas kailangan namin si Sol,” he added of the 31-year-old Mercado, who will be playing for his third team this season after splitting his 20 games with San Miguel and Barako Bull where he averaged 8.1 points, 3.6 assists and 3.5 assists in 27 minutes of play.

Lim pointed out that his point guard rotation will now be made up of LA Tenorio, Mercado and Eman Monfort, while veterans Mark Caguioa, Jayjay Helterbrand and Josh Urbiztondo will be splitting time in the two-guard spot.

Import Orlando Johnson can play the wing or slide to the two-guard spot at times, depending on matchup situations.

I dont buy the Mercado is a better defender thing. I think i ti trade din nila yang si Sol banda banda dyan. Lets see on Friday

Former Ginebra guard Joseph Yeo says new coach Frankie Lim simply doesn't like him

there were little bit of rumors on twitter last night about pringle not playing. Dahil daw on the way na sa trade kaya hindi na pinalaro baka ma injury pa. I did not watch the game last night so im not sure about this.

wag naman sana sa Ginebra.

Well deserved MVP award

Wait...if they have LA, mercado, monfort, helterbrand, urbuztondo plus knuttel ba yun? Puros PG na yan ah...pero...sinong SG nila....mukhang solong solo ni mark ah....do you smelalalalalalalalala......?

ito yung point ko, mukhang di nakasundo ang mga diva, ayaw ng may kaagaw sa playing time at position. malamang ipipilit nila ang OLD fast and furious combination. Mukhang delikado na si LA, over sekyu na sila, walang trade value sina urbiztondo, knuttel at monfort. mukhang gagamitin nila si LA to get a draft pick (Lanete or Rosario I suppose) habang mataas pa ang trade value.

Ang planong kapalitan ni MC47 ay yung mongolian barbecue at si Ellis which I think is like this:

PG Rotation: LA (kung aabot), JJ, Mercado

SG Rotation: Mongolian, MC47, Ellis

SF Rotation: Import, Mac45, Brondial

PF Rotation: Aguilar, Marcelo (very thin rotation)

C Rotation: Slaughter, Pena (weakest rotation)

Brondial will probably be inserted sa PF rotation depending on the import condition/situation

Ang problema ay yung C position, walang aasahan pag wala si Greg sa loob lalo na pag foul trouble. How can you run if you cant control the boards?

PAKTAY...DO WE SEE THE HANDS OF NOS. 47 & 13 HERE? TSK TSK TSK SA AKIN LANG YEO IS A GUTSIER AND MORE EXPLOSIVE PLAYER THAN SOL. OR MAYBE IF WE SEE IT OTHERWISE, SOL COULD BE A GOOD RELIEVER FOR L.A. OR VICE VERSA.

If sol would be the planned backup of LA, pano si JJ? this means longer chess playing time for urbiztondo and monfort.

joseph yeo traded for sol mercado. ayus!

Ginebra trades Joseph Yeo to Barako Bull for Sol Mercado in one-on-one swap

http://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/news/joseph-yeo-sol-mercado-ginebra-trade-barako-bull-frankie-lim-pba-deal

hindi ko maintindihan ang mga moves ni Frankie Lim. Yeo is a better defender and more tough than mercado. age wise? hindi naman larong matanda si the ninja.. dahil ba hindi makasundo nung 2 diva??

Si lim kaya talaga ang nasusunod? or pinapalakas lang talaga nila ang Barako Bull?

I pity Sol, 3 team movements in the last 2 conferences.

I think BGSM starting 5 would be like this;

PG - LA

SG - Mongolian Barbecue

SF - Import

PF - Marcelo

C - Greg

and the 2nd unit would be;

PG - JJ

SG - MC47 (i suspect these 2 would get a lot of minutes off the bench taking from Lim's interviews)

SF - Ellis/Yeo/Mac45 (eto ang problema, walang legitimate SF player)

PF - Japhet

C - Pena (walang ibang choice, bahala na si batman kung pano niya babantayan the likes of PJ Ramos, etc)

Im afraid the chess players will increase;

> Monfort, Fireball, Knutell (obviously) and kung sino man ang di trip ni coach kina Ellis, Yeo at Mac45

But I really hope na run and gun ala Alaska and ROS ang gawin niya para makagamit siya ng up to 13 players in rotation during a game (iwas sunog sa player)

kaw ba yan boss? astig ah!

 

ha!!??? Finals na ba???

haha welcome back boss mukhang napasarap ang bakasyon ah.. hehe..

Masyadong overhyped yung 25pt game ni Tunganga este Tungala vs. Tautuaa's Cebu D League "Amateur" team..

Baka nakalimutan nila na amateur game yun, maluwag ang depensa, maliliit ang bantay niya at hindi masyadong pisikal ang laro.

Pag naka 25pts sya in 20mins vs ROS or SMB na madaming magaling na wing defender saka pag-usapan - si Snow "Nap Gutierrez" Badua kasi pauso na naman!

another proof of "nap gutierrez" style of reporting by snow badua..

ang hilig talaga mag pauso at mag papansin

MANILA – New Ginebra coach Frankie Lim is pushing the Gin Kings with short but intense practices as he wants to prepare them for high octane, run-and-gun style that they will use for the upcoming 2015 PBA Governors’ Cup.

“I find it exciting,” Lim said during ANC’s “Hardball” on Monday about the run-and-gun game. “Sabi ko, if we have the fans as your Sixth Man, I want them excited also.”

“I want to put a great game for them, so we can run. But we have to practice running,” he added. “We have to do it little by little.”

Thus, he has asked his players to push themselves hard in practice, especially veterans like Mark Caguioa and JayJay Helterbrand. Lim says both guards have been responding well.

“Mark is really pushing himself. I just spoke to him last Saturday, I told him, ‘You have to be in tip-top shape. We’re gonna run, and you’re gonna be tired’,” he said.

“‘So you and JayJay have to be in shape and stay away from injuries,'” Lim added. “LA (Tenorio) is another guy who plays well in practice.”

Lim is also happy about what he is seeing from big man Greg Slaughter so far.

“Slaughter’s game has changed,” he said. “Another big is (Rodney) Brondial. He was seldom used last conference, but he’s practicing very well.”

Lim, a multi-titled coach with San Beda, has set the championship as the goal for Ginebra in the Governors’ Cup, and acknowledges that it will be a tall task. But he is encouraged by what he is seeing from his players and hopes the fans will appreciate their work as well.

“I think they’re hopeful,” Lim said of the Gin Kings. “Every time you have a new coach, you see what’s going in practice. They respond very well. My practices are short, but high in intensity.”

“They get tired, and they know how hard practice is, so sabi ko, kailangan pa-kundisyon tayo. I want you guys to enjoy playing, and I want our fans to enjoy watching you guys,” he added. –

so we will still see a lot of mc47 and JJ in Frankie Lim's style huh? how about checking their defense? its not their offense that should be checked but their poor defense specially JJ

Fast and Furious 7

Rating: 4.5/5

Highlights:

> As seen on the trailers, the car aerial drops are one of the best stunts ever attempted on an action movie

> Paul walkers daring bus stunt (in which reportedly made by him before his death) is the main action highlight

> The ending in which everyone really wanted to see on how they will let go/retire of Paul's character

> Street fight (fist to fist) battle between Statham and the Rock and Statham and Diesel

> (SPOILER) Abu dhabi car jump scene is very unique

Pros;

> as always, fast and gorgeous cars with sexy grinding babes on the side is an eye candy

> Walkers CGI genius is almost unnoticeable

> The story is very true to its roots starting from the earliest to the last installment

> Glass cutting humor even in a highly intense car stunt scenes (Roman is the man!)

> action scenes of Justin Wan has its own intensity and style

Cons;

> Somewhat at a point in time, you think that almost all of its franchise story trend is the same

> The story is somewhat surprisingly focused on a technological weapon and the "revenge" plot just became a side dish to a unexpected meal

> Kurt Rusell's absence on the later part of the movie is confusing considering of how he was introduced and how his relationship to Dom was build up.

All in all, what matters is most how they parted with Walker's character and IMHO, they couldn't have done better. It is the best way to say goodbye to a very well loved character in this movie franchise.

Congrats to the C's on making to the Playoffs

Goodluck vs. LBJ and the Cavs

Their main reason is to span the popularity and increase audience reach.

The PBA thinks that having asian imports will attract asian viewers on live games and on internet/tv and increase more the leagues popularity as well as attracting foreign countries to invest (hopefully) on a team that will join in the PBA soon.

But I think having one lone player in a team would not help, my suggestion before on PBA websites and forum is like these:

1st conference - All Filipino (no changes)

2nd conference - With Imports (same rules, bottom 4 will have unlimited import height)

*3rd conference - With height limit on imports on all teams, invite european/asian commercial teams to participate and separate the Gilas Pool and allow to participate in the tournament as a separate team. Two bracketing group system, Same Group members will fought twice and fight the other team members once. Top 4 on each bracket will advance forming the playoffs top 8.

- with this kind of setup, you will still attract foreign viewers and interest, plus your giving all PBA players (not just Gilas) a taste of international basketball play which will benefit greatly the young ones or the 2nd generation PBA superstars.

Ang main issue dito is yung gastos dahil who will shoulder the expenses of an entire team and yung quality ng teams and players from outside na sasali. But either way, IMHO, I think this is a better setup than having asian imports

 

pwede bng isama na lng si Pena at Marcelo sa mga Chess players

 

ang problema ng dalawang import mas lalong ninipis ang playing time at rotations would be at least 7-8 local players lng ang magagamit.

 

hope this work for new coach Franky

dapat talaga chess player na lang si pena but the trade of Billy Mamaril hurts and now resulted to lack of legit backup to Greg. Yes, Marcelo played center in the NCAA but almost lahat ng kalaban niya dun kasinglaki niya lang halos, unlike sa PBA na may mas malalaki, skilled at malakas tulad nina Thoss, Fajardo, Taulava, etc. at yung mga no height limit import na andyan pa rin so i think putting Marcelo at the C spot is dangerous. At magiging problemang malaki pa yan pag na injured si Greg (wag naman sana). Sino sesentro? yung Import???

at syempre pa, kanino nanggaling ang unang balita about sa import ng ginebra?

walang iba kundi kay snow "nap gutierrez" badua aka dinky doo

"A Ginebra insider believes that with Graham at small forward, the team can have a balanced starting unit that will have Asian import Sanchar Tungalag at the off guard spot, LA Tenorio at the point, Japeth Aguilar in the power forward post and Greg Slaughter at the center position."

http://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/news/zach-graham-ginebra-import-pba-frankie-lim-othyus-jeffers-governors-cup

- looks good on paper (again)

- Puro scorer na naman, wala pa din defender but at least its an upgrade in the 3 position that we all have been talking about here for a while.

2nd unit:

> JJ (asahan na to)/Monfort

> MC47 (lalo na to)/Yeo

> Ellis/Mac45

> Marcelo/Brondial

> Pena???/Marcelo

Chess Players:

> Urbiztondo

> Knuttel

And i hope this makes you happy now
That the flame we had is burning out
And i hope you like your pictures facing down
As even broken hearts may have their doubts

Zach mason ba yun? Tapos pinalitan yata ni freeman

ayun tama.. ito bata pa tong si mason na injured lang nuon to. I think pasok sya sa 6'5".

OT: import ng Alaska yung kakampi ni LBJ King James nung high school sya yung andun sa documentary movie nila.

 

i agree!

 

 

sana maging import ng gins si gabe freeman na lang ulit, kesa naman kumuha ulit sila ng import na hindi naman subok pa.

kelangan kasi may pantapat sila sa bilis, agresibo at sipag nila Blakely at Arizona Reid. Sila ang Barometer ng mga imports ngayong 3rd conference.

yung import ng BGSM last year na 1st time maglaro as pro straight from college OK din naman maglaro yun db? Im worried kay freeman kasi out of shape at walang active na ligang nilalaruan ngayon and the age factor is there. nalimutan ko na ang name nun import natin last year, malakas din sa rebound yun saka may low post moves na injured lang siya nung QF series nila vs ROS if I remember right.

Pinaka corny at pina engot na bansag sa PBA para saken e yung kina:

 

Almazan - Rock n Roll - tuwing nakikta ko to sa TV talagang sumsabog ang pagtawa ko sa mamang to.. He was Raped!

Helterbrand - Skelter daw pauso ni Ed Picson

Hizon - The Prince pauso rin ni Ed Picson, ewan ko ba...

Fajardo - The Kracken ewan ko kong tama spelling ko.. Mukhang bang halimaw dagat sya?

Slaugther - Gregzilla, eto duda ko si Mico or Magoo lang ang may kagagawan nito e.

Guevara - Papa Rey ang p#ta - Mico and Magoo nanaman to palagay ko.

Tama ka dyan brad andaming korning monicker.

yung ke fajardo eh para daw pantapat sa the beast ganun din yung ke Greg para malaki din tulad ke fajardo.

Yung kay Guevarra yan din tawag sa kanya nung amateur days

Sinabi mo pa...si halili pwedeng pagtyagaan...si mico ha...nde si katrina hehehe...pero asar na asar ako kay magoo....hehehe daming mga pausong comment/moniker pag cya ang commentator..

tutal napagusapan na ang mga monicker at wala pa din bagong balita sa BGSM maliban sa nag practice na yung mongoloid este mongolian na player natin ngayong araw, lest talk about your favorite monickers of past and present BGSM players.

Sakin ang no. 1 pa din at wala pa din tatalo sa lupit ng monicker - Rudy "The Destroyer" Distrito

Weakest and corniest for me is Vince "The Prince" Hizon (Papoging monicker kasi di related sa basketball)

I checked on twitter and Frankie Lim says JJ, Mac45 and Brondial is not available for trade.

Which means LA and Yeo is still up??? may kinalaman kaya dito yung 2 diva?

Or, mental/psycho challenge niya to dun kina LA at Yeo??

Saw some pictures on the BGSM twitter page and it shows there that they are doing a lot of stretching and running even after practice.
