'We didn’t play to our Ginebra identity’ –coach Tim Cone

 

CTC said it well.

 

Now, let US see his players respond to the challenge.

 

Take the next 3 games to win the championship we all have been waiting for.

 

I got TWO in the bag, TWO more to GO to win the CHAMPIONSHIP.

JAPETH Aguilar is a game-time decision on Sunday night for Game Five of the PBA Governors’ Cup Finals at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum.

 

There are doubts on the Ginebra star forward’s availability after he sprained his left ankle in the second half of their 88-86 win against Meralco that tied the best-of-seven series at two games all.

 

But Aguilar joined the Gin Kings’ practice on Saturday, although he remains under observation ahead of the Game Five that tips off at 6:30 p.m.

 

“He will warm up tomorrow and we will determine his availability at that time,” Gin Kings coach Tim Cone said in a text message on Saturday.

 

Aguilar said after the win that he just needs to maximize the rest before Game Five where the Gin Kings seek to gain control after being down twice in the series.

 

That should give Ginebra enough reason to hope for a postponement of Game Five owing to the threat of typhoon Karen.

 

The league is set to make the announcement at 9 a.m. on Sunday.

TYPHOON Karen proved no match to the combined strength of Barangay Ginebra and Meralco.

 

On Sunday, the PBA Commissioner’s Office decided to push through with Game Five of the best-of-seven finals between the Bolts and Kings despite the stormy weather brought about by the typhoon.

 

The match proceeds as scheduled at 6:30 p.m. at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, with the best-of-seven title series tied at 2-2.

 

“Game Five of the 2016 Governors Cup Finals will push through today (Sunday), 6:30 p.m. at the Smart Araneta Coliseum,” said league media bureau chief in a text message sent to media outlets.

 

As early as Friday, the league already notified about the possibility of putting off the game as typhoon Karen was expected to make a landfall by Sunday.

But despite Metro Manila under signal no.2, strong rain and gusty winds had not been felt within the metropolis unlike in the provinces, forcing league officials to make go of the crucial encounter.

 

The Kings leveled the series following a come-from-behind 88-86 win in Game Four when former league MVP JayJay Helterbrand exploded in the final quarter and willed the Kings back from as much as a 16-point deficit.

A concern for Ginebra coach Tim Cone tonight though, is the health of big man Japeth Aguilar, who sprained his ankle in the second half of Friday night’s game.

 

Cone said the condition of Aguilar will be a game-time decision for the team.

 

SEE YOU MAMAYA !!!!
