photographer Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Caguioa lifts Gin Kings past Air21 By Musong R. Castillo Philippine Daily Inquirer 10:03 pm | Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012 share1 1 http://1-ps.googleusercontent.com/h/sports.inquirer.net/files/2012/05/300x225xginebra-air21-300x225.jpg.pagespeed.ic.AV5tV1mpYY.jpgGINEBRA’S Cedric Bozeman (right) steals the ball from Air21’s Zachary Graham. AUGUST DELA CRUZ Mark Caguioa returned from a career-threatening eye injury and came up with a performance that inspired Barangay Ginebra no end last night. Caguioa finished with 15 points and three others scored in twin digits as the Gin Kings bamboozled Air21, 103-85, to start their PBA Governors’ Cup campaign on a hot note at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.In the second game, Meralco subdued injury-depleted Talk ‘N Text, 105-99.“It’s really a blessing that Mark was given a clearance (to play) by the doctors,” said coach Siot Tanquingcen. “For sure, Mark is the soul of this team.”Tanquingcen noted that Caguioa was “still a bit rusty, understandably, and he’s still feeling his way around” but the fiery Ginebra guard felt good after his first attempt, a triple in the first quarter, hit nothing but net.Import Cedric Bozeman hit for 29 points, had 13 rebounds and six assists in an impressive Ginebra debut, while Allein Maliksi, a young talent returning from a knee injury, fired 13 points in 16 minutes coming off the bench. But the night clearly belonged to Caguioa, who just three weeks ago wasn’t even sure if he could return for the season after an accidental hit from B-Meg’s James Yap last March 30 broke his right orbital socket.“It feels really good to be back on the court with these guys,” Caguioa, who wore protective glasses and will likely do so for the rest of his career, added. “I just need to lose weight and in a few more games I think I’ll be alright.” Ren-Ren Ritualo scored 13 and James Sena 11 for the Express, who put Jojo Duncil in the reserved list after a reported run-in with coach Franz Pumaren during practice two weeks ago when Duncil fouled their import hard in practice.

junix Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Dont forget the performance of Malixi..............watch out this man. i agree chief...it was just unfortunate that malixi was injured during ginebra's run last conference. a little more playing time he'll be having better performances for bgk. i believe malixi and ababou will be at the forefront of ginebra's future.

rickyfred Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Buti naman nabigyan ng playing time si Maliksi, si Maierhoffer na lang di pa nabibigyan ng playing time ni Siot. Goodluck sa next game against BMEG. Sana manalo ulit BGK! nice game Mark "The Spark" Caguioa. Quote Link to comment

Grosby Billy Ray Bates it's quite sad that our shoe industry are a dying business back during the 80's Grosby, Adidas and Saucony are manufactured here in the Philippines and it's quality could rival international brands even local pro players wears them.

BrightestStar Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Correct Bro RickyFred. Rico M is a high quality player who is quick enough to match up the opponent and join the run and gun style of BGK. Quote Link to comment
