Healthy Kerby Raymundo puzzled by benching in Ginebra’s final match

Rey Joble, InterAKTV · Sunday, December 16, 2012 · 8:42 pm http://cms.interaksyon.com/interaktv/assets/2012/09/kerby-raymundo-solo.jpgAKTV/Paolo Papa

 

Kerby Raymundo was a picture of frustration shortly after Barangay Ginebra San Miguel’s defeat to Rain or Shine Sunday, a loss that signalled the end of the Gin Kings’ Philippine Cup campaign.

 

But what hurts more for the former all-star forward is the fact that he wasn’t even fielded in for a single minute in the defeat.

 

“Feeling ko wala akong naitulong,” Raymundo told InterAKTV in an exclusive interview.

 

He said he is also clueless as to why he wasn’t used in Game Three of the quarterfinals series.

 

“I’m healthy. Wala akong injury. Hindi ko alam bakit hindi ako nakakalaro, pero siguro dahil hindi ko makuha yung rhythm ko.”

 

Raymundo was acquired by Ginebra from B-MEG in a blockbuster trade last season in exchange for JC Intal. Once expected to be the team’s top post option, Raymundo has struggled to fit in with the team’s guard-oriented system.

 

But Raymundo said the adjustment should not come from him. “Wala kong balak baguhin sa laro ko,” he said.

 

With his contract expiring in August, Raymundo has started to ponder his future.

 

“Siguro I have to sit down with my family and consult them about my plans,” he said.

oo nga no nalimutan si kerby, pero ang ganda kasi ng nilaro ni billy

 

sometimes i can't fathom siot's system. kawawang kerby :(

 

Admittedly maganda ang laro ni Billy sa substitution pattern na ginagamit ni Siot so babad s'ya along with Rico sa loob, pero nawalan ng playing time si Kerby at maging sina Jensen at Maliksi. Tingin ko dapat nila ayusin substitution patters nila, matangkad si Rico pero tingin ko natural position na babagay sa kanya is the no. 3 spot, ilagay si Kerby sa no. 4 at si Mamaril sa no. 5, Siot is only using several players at 'di dapat ganun, dapat me variations din..

Siot should study the coaching ways of Yeng Guiao

FROST BYTE: KERBY’S MINUTES – GOING…GOING….

Because of the measly playing time given his prized big man Kerby Raymundo, well known player agent Danny Espiritu is set to meet with team officials of Brgy. Ginebra San Miguel.

 

But Espiritu clarified that this move is not to seek a trade for Raymundo but to ask the management about the team’s plan for the fleet-footed slotman.

 

“Kakausapin ko lang naman yung management. Tatanong ko kung ano ba plano nila? Pero never ako manghihingi ng trade. Unethical yun!” exclaimed Espiritu, whose other player Robert Labagala also fights for minutes under Coach Siot Tanquingcen.

 

Raymundo, who reportedly bolted out of B-Meg Llamados last year because of a decrease in playing minutes, had seen himself languishing on the Ginebra bench longer.

 

In the Kings’ series versus Rain or Shine, the 31-year-old Orion, Bataan native experienced a major decline in his exposure on the court.

 

In the first game of the best-of-3 series, Raymundo played for 14 minutes and recorded 3 rebounds, 2 assists & 1 steal, missing all four field goal attempts in a frustrating 65-82 loss to the Elasto Painters.

 

In Ginebra’s 79-77 Game 2 win, Raymundo was hardly a factor, playing for only 3 minutes, as then best player Rudy Hatfield ate up most of the playing time.

 

The series clincher was more disappointing for the 10-time PBA All-Star as he was not fielded in for even a single second.

 

“Nakausap ko si Kerby after the game, OK naman siya upbeat naman. Saka alam naman niya na wala siyang karapatang humingi ng trade, kasi hanggat under contract siya, team ang magdedecide nun,” said Espiritu.

 

“Gusto ko lang ipaalam sa lahat na masaya si Kerby sa Ginebra kasi playoffs contender yung team at dun gustong gustong lumalaro nung bata. Ilang beses ngang lumaban for MVP dati yan di ba?” recalled Espiritu, who handles the career of other marquee players like Mark Caguioa, Arwind Santos and Mark Cardona.

 

Despite the limited exposure, Raymundo no doubt is still among the league’s most versatile big man who can take outside shots or bang his body at the post.

Beginning 2013 with a bang: Ginebra replaces Tanquingcen with Chua By Snow Badua

Alfrancis Chua has built a reputation as a 'players' coach' who never fails to bring the best out of his players, which should bode well for a Ginebra team that has largely underperformed in the past few seasons under Siot Tanquingcen. Jerome Ascano

BARANGAY Ginebra opened the new year with a bang, replacing Siot Tanquingcen with Alfrancis Chua in a coaching change aimed at bringing the best out of the Gin Kings’ talented but underperforming lineup.

 

According to Ginebra officials, Tanquingcen was informed of management’s decision on Tuesday as the league’s most popular team looks to go in another direction after a string of disappointing performances under the former University of Santo Tomas role player.

 

Tanquingcen has won three PBA championships in his career but none since the 2008-2009 season. Under him, Ginebra has not reached the finals over the last four conferences.

 

There had been uncertainty over Tanquingcen’s status since the start of the season, and his status became even more tenuous after the Kings failed to advance past the quarterfinal stage in the Philippine Cup.

 

A top Ginebra official said Tanquingcen will be asked to slide down to assistant coach, a position he previously held under Jong Uichico. He will also receive the same compensation he got as head coach, the official added.

 

The official also said the team will soon announce another big development following the coaching change.

 

Now that position has been given to Chua, who assumed the head-coaching position at Ginebra barely a year after coming out of a long break from coaching to join Tanquingcen’s staff as an assistant.

 

Chua has had a successful career in the amateur leagues and made his coaching debut in the pro league with Tanduay in 2000. The long-haired mentor’s last head-coaching stint was with Sta. Lucia in the 2006-2007 season.

 

Chua has yet to win a PBA championship but has built a reputation as a ‘player’s coach’ who brings the best out of his players, which should bode well for a talented Ginebra team that has underperformed under Tanquingcen.

 

Sources said the Ginebra job has long been offered to Chua, but he had repeatedly declined until now.
