  1. Yes, nanood ako live ! Puro panalo laugh.gif Sa April 3 ulit vs. Air21 Express. First game sila. Napatayo ako nuong last na dakdak ni V-Mack.

     

     

    magkita na kaya tayo sa april 3...

     

    kaso baka majinx... swerte ata na magkahiwalay tayo ng upuan... hehehee

  2. Sumakit ngala ngala ko sa kasisigaw.Bingi pa ako sa GINEBRA GINEBRA GINEBRA. Akala ko masisira bubong ng Araneta! Mas lalo sa dunks ni Macklin. Katabi ko yung may banner na nakasulat sa Manila Paper na "ITS BETTER TO DIE THAN TO WATCH GINEBRA LOSE! Hit na hit sa crowd laugh.gif Dapat manood ako parati live para tuloy tuloy panalo. laugh.gif Sana ganun parati laro. Swerte pa nga TNT at ang sama ng free throws ng Barangay! Kikita na naman at buhay na naman ang mga empleyado ng Araneta at PBA! Tropa natin ang bumubuhay sa kanila hahaha (sa gate receipts) wink.gif

     

     

    hahahaha... andun din ako nasa harapan ako nung may hawak ng ginebra na black pentel tapos sa likod ng tarpaulin sinulat...

     

    ang funny duon hindi sila maifocus sa camera kasi mali hawak nila sa sign nila, ang naipapakita nila eh yung vote _____ for mayor...

  3. its unfair to compare players from different generations, but its leadership over skills... larry bird wins by a mile.... by LBJ is slowly getting there

     

    uhm sir from the first page and also from the thread subtitle... wag nating iconsider yung intangibles...

    skill set lang ang pagbasehan natin kung sino ang mas magaling...

     

     

    sa tingin ko mahirap talagang sabihin kung sino mas magaling sa kanila... different era kasi eh...

     

    pero sinusubukan kong mag-imagine, what if naglaro sila ng one-on-one... (hindi yung sitwasyon ngayon ha, matanda na si Bird eh...)

     

    Bird and LBJ both on their prime... pag inimagine ko, parang iiwan-iwanan lang ni James si Bird eh...

    kasi kung skills lang ang pag-uusapan, mas marami na talagang kayang gawin yung LBJ kesa kay Bird...

     

     

    opinion lang po ah..:rolleyes:

     

    sir,

     

    based on the criterion set on the first page can you make a score and see who scores higher based on skill sets.

  4. I have read the Aguinaldo memoirs where the movie was based on.

    Very biased if you study history...

    Try reading Jacinto's memoirs (Bonifacio Ally), Mabini's letters (Aguinaldo Ally) and Nakpil's writings (Neutral)...

     

    All of them writes about the death of Luna and Bonifacio as an injustice to the Filipino People...

    Mabini and Nakpil writes about how Aguinaldo was duped by the Treaty of Paris...

  5. It's in the history books. Aguinaldo had Bonifacio executed because he (Bonifacio) was sowing intrigues within the movement. The story plot jives with what I've read in the past. In fact I think it's well researched.

     

     

    bonifacio did not sow intrigues... what he did was he didn't recognize the elections and wanted the other revolt groups to have a faction with his group... it's in the history books...

     

    these are all in the history books:

    bonifacio wasn't able to defend himself in the trial because he was stabbed at the neck...

    luna was executed by orders from aguinaldo...

    aguinaldo backed the japanese during the second world war...

     

     

    the movie wasn't researched well.... their only source was from aguinaldo's side... reason? the aguinaldo clan wants him to be recognized as a national hero...

     

     

    read your history books and the memoirs of nakpil

    then come back to me with a better argument

  6. Jason Castro was a Filipino import before coming to the PBA... so he is used to international play...

     

    Arwind is better than japeth but SMC will allow only one player for each of their teams...

     

    Casio should be in the lineup...

  7. Hehe sorry naginit ulo ko pagkakita kay thoss , sakin nman dillinger over gabe aguilar over junemar pero sana either paul lee lutz or ibang shooters sinama nila

     

     

    yup ako rin uminit ulo ko eh... sana si baguio na lang instead of thoss as alaska representative

     

    dillinger over gabe... in terms of slashing yes, rebounding would have to go to norwood... i see these two as essentials to gilas...

    aguilar over junemar??? aguilar doesn't have the physicality to play down low... he will not be playing sf... wala syang shooting and dribbling... junemar para post defender... plus junemar runs the floor well also...

     

    di na pwede si lutz kasi 1 representative lang for each smc team...

    paul lee? dami na pg... dillinger and gabe can play point... plus reyes is already in the lineup... better defender and shooter than paul lee... si baguio na lang sana kinuha talaga instead of thoss...

  10. 1. What I know is Olajuwon received the ball in the low post and backed O'Neal down then would either go to his right for the jump hook or spin to his left for the fall away. Most of the time, he uses the dream shake before jumping and shooting either shot. Well, if you think build is not the basis of strength, that's your opinion. Again, just coz Bird was willing to bang inside and James doesn't doesn't mean Bird is stronger than James. Willingness to bang inside and strength are two different things.

     

    2. I'm just saying that Jordan is an exception.

     

    3. Huh? I watched the games of the Dream Team and I don't recall Larry playing center. Why should he? Ewing and Robinson were there.

     

    4. Did you watch the whole series to say that it was Bird guarding Wilkins all throughout the series? Another case in point was against the Pistons. Mchale guarded Dantley and Bird guarded Mahorn. Why? Because Dantley is one of the primary scorers of the Pistons.

     

    1. Olajuwon received it mid post para kung mag slack off si shaq, mag jump shot sya... pagsobra dikit ni shaq, magdadrive sya... any ways diskarte ang ginawa nya hindi na sya tungkol sa strangth...

     

    2. yep Jordan is an exception at sa usapang basketballl pag may nagbanggit na ng pangalan nya tapos na ang debate di ba?

     

    3. there are games na nagtitrip sila sa lineup... watch their elimination game... the 3rd or 4th game i think.... may time dun sa game na ang center ay si bird...

     

    4. for most of that series bird guarded wilkins...

     

    ganito brod... you are veering away from the topic already... what is the connection of mchale and bird playing defense as to what i proposed on the initial post...

    i've given you my position as to why bird is plays stronger than james...

    please give your validation as to why james plays stronger?

     

    on another point it's not the willingness to bang bodies, it's how you receive it... remember the finals vs dallas wherein james drove to the basket, he was checked and then he flopped, hobbling to the sidelines... a foul was called, reviewing the replays it was an obvious flop.... now is that playing strongly?

    Shooting : Bird

    Ball Handling : LBJ

    Rebounding : Bird

    Passing : Bird

    Steals : Bird

    Blocks : Even

    Off Ball Movement : Bird

    On Ball Defense : LBJ

    Off Ball Defense : Bird

    Slashing : LBJ

    Post Up : Bird

    Physicality/Strength : LBJ

    Jumping : LBJ

    Dunking : LBJ

     

    Athletically, LBJ will win this one. But skills-wise, Bird has the better skills. He shoots better, he passed better, he rebounds better and his defense is also good. He did all of this even without being gifted with an athletic body.

     

    LBJ is good and part of his greatness is in his athleticism. He barrels his way into the paint, he dunks over people and along the way he travels (and gets a way with it) a lot. LBJ gets assist but he doesn't pass better than Bird.

     

    Larry Bird is still the better player just by looking at the skills. Now if you add the intangibles. It is Larry Bird by a mile.

     

    thanks for the input

  11. Ok. Physical evidence states that James is stronger than Bird. You may have based your judgement on the banging inside but we're talking about strength here. James is 260-270 pounds while Larry is 220-230 pounds. James is definitely more muscular than Bird and the build is really the basis of strength.

     

     

    1. Perhaps, you should watch replays of the 1995 NBA Finals. Olajuwon backed up Shaq to a certain extent and used his footwork in the paint to score via fall away jumper, hook shot or layup.

     

    2. I was agreeing to your post that Bird guarded opposing power forwards. I'm saying that Bird guarded Willis, instead of Wilkins to preserve his energy. As I said, he's also Boston's main scorer. Normally, a coach would like someone other than his main scorer to guard the other team's main scorer so that your main scorer could concentrate more on scoring instead of stopping the other team's scorer. But, there are also exceptions, Jordan defended the other team's primary scorer.

     

    3. When did Bird play the 5?

     

    4. I watched the 1988 Eastern semis and most of the time, it wasn't Bird guarding Wilkins.

     

    1. he didn't, shaq allowed it until low post... because hakeem was receiving the ball mid post,

    built is not the basis of strength... an ant can lift alot larger than his size...

    kidding aside... we are considering basketball so we should consider all that banging inside... the things that happen in the court more than what you see physically...

     

    2. first of all, wala namang jordan issue... natatapos ang conversation pag pinasok na si jordan eh... :P :P :P

    what was james reason before lagi sya napapagod dahil sobrang babad sa paglalaro... conditioning and strength...

     

    3. dream team, i've posted it twice already and posted the lineup when it happened

     

    4. don't just watch one game... watch the whole series... wag mong panuorin yung pataasan ng ihi nung dalawa... early part of that game bantay ni wilkins si bird...

  12. 1. Olajuwon can back Shaq on the post but it doesn't mean Olajuwon is stronger than Shaq.

     

    2. I was just saying that Larry covered Willis to preserve his energy. When you try to stop a primary scorer, you waste your energy trying to stop him. Remember, Larry was the main scorer of Boston so he also had to score. I never said nor implied that being an offensive option means strength.

     

    3. I'm just saying that James can play the 5 in a small ball line-up. I don't recall a time Larry played the 5 but I remembered him play the 2 in a big line-up featuring Parish, Mchale, Walton, Bird and DJ. That was the game against the Bucks in the 1986 Eastern Conference Finals.

     

    4. Nope, it was really Mchale who guarded Wilkins. I remember in the 1988 Eastern semi-finals, Mchale guarded Wilkins and Bird guarded Willis.

     

     

    i thought you were posting reasons as to why you consider james to be stronger than bird?

    1. au contraire olajuwon didn't backed up shaq, he used his footwork...

    2. conditioning and energy do come with strength... based on your parameter then, james was guarding jason terry not dirk nowiski, james was guarding tp and not duncan (all are finals references)...

    i thought you were posting reasons as to why you consider james to be stronger than bird? that was why you posted that bird wasn't guarding wilkins...

    3. yes james CAN... but has he? i really don't want to put what ifs in to consideration... bird played 5... bird, pippen, mullin, mj, stockton...

    4. please watch it again... there were switches before wilkins receives the ball...

  13. Strength:

    1. strength is not based on physical built...

    e.g. bradley and pacquiao... who hits harder? who is stronger?

    vin baker and gilliam? who can back their guards better on the post?

     

    2. does being an offensive option means strength? who is physically stronger? willis or wilkins?

     

    3. does blocking shots from the weak side translate to strength? during the rockets/celtics finals bird was given a part time task to guard olajuwon... that is on ball post up defense... in fairness to james there aren't a lot of post players nowadays so it's hard to compare with that... bird, during the dream team would play 4 or 5 whenever he and pippen are on the floor..

     

    4. mchale guarded wilkins on the switch... bird guards drj a much stronger slasher than wilkins...
