photographer Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Barangay Ginebra San Miguel probably made the biggest splash of the offseason after acquiring Jones Cup Most Valuable Player LA Tenorio in a blockbuster deal. Official Lineup No.Player 2Billy Mamaril 5LA Tenorio 10Paul Rico Maierhofer 11Mike Cortez 13Anthony Helterbrand 18Allein Maliksi 21Kerby Raymundo 23Elmer Espiritu 27Willy Wilson 32Keith Jensen 33Dylan Ababou 34Chris Ellis 47Mark Caguioa 99Rudy Hatfield Head Coach:Siot Tanquingcen Coaching Consultant:Alfrancis Chua Assistant Coaches:Allan Caidic, Arturo dela Cruz, Marco Januz Sauler, Freddie Abuda The crafty point guard, who had some brilliant performances for the SMART-Gilas Pilipinas national team over the break, was considered the big prize in what was essentially a five-team deal that also saw marquee players like JVee Casio, Willie Miller and Dondon Hontiveros moving to different teams. The arrival of Tenorio gives the crowd darlings a huge offensive option beside the rejuvenated Mark Caguioa, who carried a big load last season en route to winning the PBA MVP award. “LA will play a huge role on our team,” said Ginebra coach Siot Tanquingcen. “He would be one of the main guys and I think he would fit well with Mark.” Despite the buzz surrounding their new acquisition, there’s plenty more to be excited about than just Tenorio, and Tanquingcen points to rookies Keith Jensen and Chris Ellis as examples of those. “The acquisition of LA is huge but the additions of Jensen and Ellis bring an added dimension in terms of athleticism and excitement to our game.” The Gin Kings are looking primed to be successful in the run-and-gun game that has endeared them to their very passionate fanbase, although they do lose a little bit of size after shipping SMART-Gilas backup Enrico Villanueva off to Barako Bull during the offseason. Tanquingcen doesn’t feel like expectations have skyrocketed in light of the new additions to the team, but he certainly is hopeful that his team can be a serious threat this season. “I think just like everyone else, we come into every season hoping we could win a title.” http://cms.interaksyon.com/interaktv/assets/2012/08/tenorio-ginebra.jpgAKTV/Paul Ryan Tan Outlook: With Caguioa and Tenorio, Ginebra could have the best starting backcourt in the league. And with Jayjay Helterbrand and Mike Cortez able to fill in at those spots, the Ginebra guard rotation — a traditional strength for the franchise dating back to the Jaworski days — is set. The frontcourt is a bit trickier. At the wings, Ginebra has a virtual air force with Dylan Ababou, Allein Maliksi, Rico Maierhofer, and rookie Chris Ellis. The power forward spot is manned by undersized big men Rudy Hatfield, Willy Wilson, and Elmer Espiritu, as well as rookie Keith Jensen. And after giving up Enrico Villanueva in the Tenorio trade, the Gin Kings now have a virtual donut in the middle, with only Kerby Raymundo (who’s not really a center) and Billy Mamaril to man the slot. Last Season Review Lost to Rain or Shine, 2-0, in the best-of-three Philippine Cup quarterfinals Lost to B-MEG, 3-1, in the best-of-five Commissioner’s Cup semifinals Lost to B-MEG in a knockout for the last Governors’ Cup finals spot With an infusion of youth and athleticism at the wings, coach Siot Tanquingcen is talking about the team running more. It seems intuitive, but the team’s guards — Caguioa, Tenorio, Helterbrand, and Cortez — have thrived in the halfcourt more than in transition over the past few seasons. It’d be interesting to see how committed Ginebra will be to run. Last season, the team made a lot of bones about going on a youth movement, even starting young guys like Rob Labagala and John Wilson. By the end of the year, however, the kids were glued to the bench and now are out of the team. But despite all the flaws in the lineup, this is a talented team, and already expectations are mounting. Fans are rightfully excited — some even think that the team has the best lineup in the league — and with such huge expectations, anything less than a return trip to the finals in even just one conference will be a disappointment.

photographer Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Fantastic debut by L.A. Tenorio. Best Player of the Game kaagad! And the teamwork, wala akong masabi. Well, that is, if they maintain that kind of mindset. The opening day broke records in attendance sa PBA history on opening day ....19,000+ nanood ng game. Quote Link to comment
Kazekage.Gaara Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 If Jensen and Ellis plays that way every game... If the rest of the vets stay healthy the rest of the season... And, if teamwork orchestrated by Lieutenant Tenorio is as flawless as the game earlier tonight... The Barangay is the toughest team to beat today. Quote Link to comment
