Barangay Ginebra Kings

[Agent_mulder]

Nabasa ko na sa PDI 'yung article regarding Art Dela Cruz, ooperahan pala si Art dahil sa injury he sustained. Nagkainitan pala 'yung mga Fil-Am na nasa kotse at 'yung bus driver wherein nakasakay ang mga Ginebra players. 'Di daw natulungan agad ng mga players ng Ginebra si Art paano 'yung mga coolers daw nakaharang sa may pinto, may mali yata doon, paano kung may emergency 'di hindi agad makakalabas ang mga nakasakay doon sa bus (we are not talking of just the players as a whole but 'yung mismong passengers na). Also, dapat may security din ang teams when travelling so that team officials and/or players don't have to deal with such a thing. Sa NBA nga may security na naka-puwesto sa likod ng bencn ng isang team and some of them are facing the crowd and/or they have a view of both the players and the spectators behind the players more so in travelling to other parts of the country..

Nadagdagan nanaman ang injuries ng BGK, it's a asst. coach nmn c Art dela Cruz. Road rage incident, Art rescued the driver from being mauled, acted as a pacifier but in return he is the 1 ganged up by fil-ams with skateboards as a weapon. Naduwag ung bus driver nila and hindi nag-react ung BGK team. Sabi nila tulog daw ung team that time.

 

Is it tulog or nag tutulog-tulugan? (based on philstar...)

Mga kabarangay, this is the scenario:

 

 

Can Kings make it to Final Four?

 

There are 11 games left in the PBA Philippine Cup double-round eliminations and the only sure thing is league-leading San Miguel Beer (13-3) is safely in the semifinals.

 

The teams are bunched up close to each other at the top and in the bottom. Here’s how they stand so far – No. 1 San Miguel Beer (13-3), No. 2 Alaska (11-3), No. 3 Barangay Ginebra (11-6), No. 4 Purefoods (10-6), No. 5 Talk ‘N’ Text (10-7), No. 6 Sta. Lucia Realty (9-6), No. 7 Burger King (5-11), No. 8 Rain Or Shine (4-12), No. 9 Coca-Cola (3-12) and No. 10 Barako Bull (3-13).

 

At the end of the eliminations, the lowest-ranked team is eliminated and the top two finishers advance to the semifinals outright. Teams that end up third, fourth and fifth qualify for the quarterfinals, leaving No. 6 to play No. 9 and No. 7 to play No. 8 in a pair of knockout games to start the wildcards. The winners of the two knockout games then slug it out in another do-or-die duel for the last quarterfinals ticket. That means the last quarterfinals qualifier will survive two knockout games.

 

The quarterfinal pairings will be No. 3 against the wildcard survivor and No. 4 against No. 5, both best-of-five series. Winners then move on to play the top two finishers in the best-of-seven semifinals. Survivors wind up disputing the crown in the best-of-seven finals.

 

Fans are wondering if Ginebra has a chance to make it to the semifinals with just one game – against Burger King on Sunday – remaining in its calendar. The answer is yes but it won’t be easy.

 

First, Ginebra must beat the Whoppers to raise its record to 12-6. The magic number of wins for an automatic semifinals ticket is 13 so the Kings will fall short by one.

 

Second, Alaska must blow at least three of its last four games – which is highly unlikely – to finish at 12-6. If Purefoods loses one of its last two assignments left, then Ginebra and Alaska will figure in a playoff for the second semifinals slot. If Alaska loses all its last four games – even more improbable, and Ginebra beats the Whoppers, then the Kings advance to the semifinals outright.

 

The scenario becomes even more interesting if Sta. Lucia sweeps its last three assignments against Alaska, Barako Bull and Purefoods to improve to 12-6.

 

* * * *

 

In another possibility, there could be a three-way tie for second place involving Purefoods, Alaska and Ginebra. That will happen if Purefoods beats Alaska and Sta. Lucia in the Giants’ last two games, the Aces win only one (over the Realtors) of its last four contests and Ginebra defeats Burger King. In this situation, Purefoods, Alaska and Ginebra will tote identical 12-6 records.

 

In a three-way tie for second, the team with the lowest quotient drops down to No. 4 and the other two face off for the No. 2 spot. At the moment, Ginebra is minus 16, Purefoods is minus 4 and Alaska is plus 20.

 

To make the three-way tie a reality, the Giants must beat the Aces which means Purefoods will improve on its quotient and it will take a 37-point loss by Alaska for Ginebra to move up in the quotient ladder. In effect, a three-way tie for second involving Purefoods, Alaska and Ginebra will relegate the Kings out of the semis picture.

 

Another three-way logjam for second place could involve Alaska, Ginebra and Sta. Lucia. They will finish at 12-6 if Alaska wins only one of its four remaining games (losing to Sta. Lucia in the process), Ginebra beats Burger King and the Realtors repulse the Aces, Barako Bull and Purefoods.

 

Here are the remaining games for each team: San Miguel Beer (Coca-Cola, Talk ‘N’ Text), Alaska (Sta. Lucia, Purefoods, Burger King, Rain Or Shine), Ginebra (Burger King), Purefoods (Alaska, Sta. Lucia), Talk ‘N’ Text (San Miguel Beer), Sta. Lucia (Alaska, Barako Bull, Purefoods), Burger King (Ginebra, Alaska), Rain Or Shine (Coca-Cola, Alaska), Coca-Cola (San Miguel Beer, Rain Or Shine, Barako Bull) and Barako Bull (Sta. Lucia, Coca-Cola).

 

* * * *

 

The way it looks, Alaska will join San Miguel in the semis as all the Aces need to clinch an outright ticket is to win two of its last four games against Sta. Lucia, Purefoods, Burger King and Rain Or Shine. Alaska has lost two of its last three but overall, the Aces have dropped only three games – to Rain Or Shine, Coca-Cola and Ginebra. In the first round, Alaska beat the Realtors, 91-83, the Whoppers, 87-73, and the Giants, 101-87.

 

It’s also possible that five teams could end up tied for second place with identical 11-7 records. But that would mean Alaska losing four in a row, Ginebra bowing to Burger King, Purefoods yielding to Sta. Lucia, Talk ‘N’ Text beating San Miguel Beer and the Realtors winning two of its last three games.

 

Since the PBA allows only one single playoff for one position, the two teams with the highest quotients will meet to determine the second outright semis qualifier. The loser in the playoff will slide to No. 3 and the next three positions will be decided by the quotient system.

 

Sta. Lucia might even pull a surprise by making it to the semis outright. The Realtors will do it if they win their last three assignments, Alaska loses four straight and Ginebra is upset by Burger King.

 

The battle to avoid the cellar is just as fierce. The Energy Boosters got a major lift when they upset Talk ‘N’ Text, 99-97, last Sunday. Their game against Coca-Cola next Wednesday could be the decider.

rudy distrito is back in the philippines..he's extending his gratitude to the ginebra fans. napanood ko sa news kanina

napanood ko din kagabi

 

he expressed desire na maging assistant coach to any PBA team who would offer

 

sadly, I dont think pwe-pwede pa sya sa PBA

malaki na pinagbago ng PBA since his time

wala na ung panahon na hinahangaan ang mga tulad nyang enforcers

 

sana kunin as defensive consultant ng SMART Gilas

tapos bigyan ng isang wide na press release na sakop buong Asia

bigyan ng takot ang mga Arabo at Tsino na mga yan...merong kasamang ex-con sa coaching staff ang team Philippines, kagimbal gimbal, dba?

[Richmond]

Rudy Distrito would be a good defense consultant for Gilas Team my wishlist that they include Onchie dela cruz and Vic Sanchez in their team as consultants.

[ray004]

pwede! hahaha

 

 

baka interesado rin sa kanya si yeng guiao

Sabi naman sa PDI 'di daw natulungan ng mga players paano may nakaharang na coolers sa may daanan. Si Art naman kahit noong playing years n'yan physical 'yan at 'di umuurong maski sa physical plays ni Jawo noong araw..

In sum, it means that their chances of making it outright sa semis is not in their own hands :goatee:

mas maganda nang nangyari na hindi nakapag react yung players. Baka malakas pa sa gobyerno yung dalawang ulol na yun (na kagaya ng mga Ampatuan-special treatment) mabaligtad ang situation. Baka buong bench ng Ginebra ma suspend ng PBA. Alam nyo naman dito sa Pinas, kung sino ang may kapit sa taas, sila ang panano (hindi naman lahat pero malamang) Kahit na Danding Cojuangco pa yung team........pero, pero, kung nakakawala yung mga players, baka pinaglalamayan na yung dalawang ulol na yun.

according to my reliable source, its not true that the players were asleep at the time of the incident. they were about to help out art dela cruz but they were timely pacified by allan caidic. who knows what would happened to those filams if guys like eric menk, billy mamaril, enrico villanueva were able to get their hands on those crooks?

Tama ka diyan, ka-barangay! Parang ang hirap mapaniwalaan na biglang nag break yung driver ng bus, hindi sila nagising. Kudos to Allan Caidic sa kanyang decision na awatin yung mga players. By the way, nasaan na nga pala yung dalawang ungas na Fil-Ams? Para mapuntahan at makita kung sino yung mga yun! May pictures na kayang lumabas?

[hothands]

nabalitaan ko lang ngaun sa GMA7.. nagsampa daw ng kaso ung 2 fil-ams na un.. and there were several players named that were said to have harrased them.. parang frustrated murder ata or something near that ung sinampang kaso.. players that were included are EVill, Willy Wilson, Junthy Valenzuela.. d ko na matandaan ung iba pa e..
