Like what I've said in my previous comment, Ping is unstoppable when he is in the paint plus the fact that he can pass and create plays.

 

limit Ping and Simon from touches. tska si "boy swerte" na si Devance.

 

Mark did a good offense with Melton and Mallari. kawawa yung dalawa MASSACRE ang inabot...

Tingin ko, this is the start for Japeth. He did have 3 blocks last game. Kung hindi lang dahil sa 5 fouls baka mas babad pa laro nya nung 4th.

 

the key to Japeth's game is hitting those medium range jumpers which we saw last night. It was missing during the first 5 games of this series.

 

Japeth is not a post up player. He thrives on the open court as well as utilizing his quickness/athleticism to drive past his man for the high percentage shot in the paint. San Migs defense has been clogging the lane on him to make it difficult to score inside. Shooting and making those perimeter shots will open up the middle not only for him but also for other possible cutters.

Exactly. Another thing, dapat mas efficient yung spacing nila for Japeth to be able to maximize. Kung kinakailangang i-isolation nila either Japeth or Greg to take advantage, then so be it.

It will be a great game tomorrow....

 

Some observations ko na tingin ko makakatulong sa game 7:

 

1. Bola sa low post ke caguioa pag si melton bantay

2. Kick out ke baracael plays

3. Set up si japeth sa medium j

4. Pressure d paminsan minsan pero biglaan

5. Experiment w jflight sa depensa...

6. Ababou is a good shooter, maybe ato can go w 2 bigs, ababou, baracael and la

7. The best combination na nakita ko slaugther, aguilar, baracael, ellis, la

like i've written in my earlier post, aside from forrester, dylan is another lost man in ato's rotation...such a waste of talent.

mas - maganda pa nilalaro ni JR Reyes kesa kay Aguilar, nagagampanan nya talaga role nya...

 

bicolano kasi e...

 

WISH KO LANG SANA MAPALITAN ANG COACH NG GINEBRA, Maganda ang lineup nila pero sa coach lang ang problema... ibalik na lang kaya si Alfrancis Chua.

 

+1 sa pagpapalit ng coach.

Aguilar draws inspiration from Jaworski as he looks to put struggles behind him

"Of course sobrang inspired ako. I was motivated lalo na pag kita ko pa lang sa kanya (Jaworski)," said the 6-foot-9 Ginebra star, who was congratulated by the 'Big J' after the win and had the chance to listen to his pep talk during halftime of Game Six last Monday.

 

"Iba, na-motivate talaga kami. Biruin mo (PBA) legend, nasa locker room? Nakaka-inspire," he added.

meaning di kayang ma-motivate ni Ato ang team nya? if it weren't for Jaworski talo na tayo sa Game 6? can't the management see what Jaworski can do if he's the one coaching this powerhouse team? just asking...

Sinusundan koang bawat laro

Ng koponan kong naghihingalo

Sa bawat bolang binibitaw

Di mapigilang mapapasigaw

Kahit hindi relihiyoso

Naaalala ko ang mga santo

O San Miguel, Santa Lucia

Sana manalo ang Ginebra

Ngunit ang aga nilang nagkalat

Bawat diskarte nasisisilat

Nagkasundo kaming magkakampi

Na ang labo kasi ng referee

Ang barangay parang napeste

Natambakan agad kami ng bente

Parang bansa'y nagkaleche-leche

At nareelect ang presidente

Pagbigyan nyo na ako

Paminsan-minsan lang ito

Gumaang ang nabibigatang puso

Pagbigyan nyo na ako

Sa munting hilig kong ito

Kung hindi baka mag-away pa tayo

Nang 2nd half ay nag-umpisa

Nag-umpisa ang ratsada nila

Ipit na pukol ni Noli Locsin

Kahit finoul, pasok pa rin

Ang double-team nila'y walang epekto

Sa alee hoop at alahoy ni Marlou

Sunod-sunod sa magkabilang kanto

3 points ni Hizon at Jarencio

Opensa ay nasasaling

Sa hustle ni Mackie at Benny Cheng

Halos ang bola ay di makatawid

Sa mga nakaw ni Flash David

Ang execution ay swabeng-swabe

Sa mga plays ni Coach Jaworski

Biglang umugong ang buong palibot

Mukhang maglalaro na rin si Dudut

Pagbigyan nyo na ako

Paminsan-minsan lang ito

Gumaang ang nabibigatang puso

Pagbigyan nyo na ako

Kahit na kahit paano

Sumaya ng bahagya itong mundo

Tatlong minuto pa ang natitira

Nang kami ay nakahabol na

Sa isang iglap nagpalit ng score

Lamang na kami 99-94

Bumabalik sa aking isip

Ang manliligaw ko nuong Grade 6

Napapatawad ko na ang Alaska

Pag nananalo ang Ginebra

O kayganda ng aking umaga

Feeling ko wala akong asawa

At ang dati kong boyfriend ay hiwalay na

Pag nananalo ang Ginebra

MOTHER OF ALL SUDDEN DEATHS

7:37 pm | Tuesday, February 11th, 2014

24 260 148

IT isn’t exactly like he’s tossing coins in a fountain. But Rain or Shine coach Yeng Guiao, who may be secretly yearning for payback, has reportedly expressed preference to face Barangay Ginebra San Miguel in the best-of-7 championship series.

 

If that’s the case, the Kings, who ousted the twice-to-beat Elasto Painters in the 2013 Commissioner’s Cup quarterfinals, will only be too happy to oblige. San Mig Super Coffee, of course, will have none of it.

 

Before midnight Wednesday, Guiao would know whether his “wish” has been granted.

 

Between that and the hours leading up to ‘finals before the Finals,’ the Kings and the Mixers go for the jugular in a do-or-die Game 7 to bring their PLDT myDSL PBA Philippine Cup semifinals to a blazing climax at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

 

The winner earns the right to jump from the frying pan to the fire, taking on the well-rested Elasto Painters in a best-of-7 title showdown.

 

Game 1 of the Finals is Friday, with the two protagonists taking daggers to each other’s hearts on Valentine’s Day.

 

With the Mixers claiming Games 1, 3 and 5, and the Kings clinching Games 2, 4 and 6, the stage has been set for the mother of all sudden deaths at 8 pm.

 

The atmosphere will be electrifying and the Big Dome will be rocking as 20,000-plus fans are expected to cram the historic venue.

 

As fiercely fought as most of their matches in this semis have been, Game 7 should take intensity and expectations to bursting levels.

 

If the Mixers’ 79-76 Game 5 victory, fashioned by James Yap’s death knell 3-pointer, was like running the gauntlet, and Ginebra’s 94-91 Game 6 fightback akin to going through hell, the Game 7 will be a war of apocalyptic proportion.

 

Two nights ago, San Mig coach Tim Cone thought an epic combat was about to be averted.

 

“No doubt Game 6 was a tough one for us to swallow,” said Cone. “We felt we had it and then it was ripped away from us. Credit to Ginebra. But it’s been a great series, a tough series with a lot of drama and it seems only fitting that it should go this far. As my daughter always reminds me, the best two words in sports: Game Seven.”

 

His Ginebra counterpart Ato Agustin shares the sentiment.

 

“Game 7 na ‘to. Kailangang ibigay na lahat. No need to save any amount of energy,” said Agustin, who added patience and aggressiveness will be their main weapons.

 

Agustin got a big hand from a most unlikely source, especially in helping lift the spirit of beleaguered point guard LA Tenorio.

 

Censured by the Ginebra faithful – and his fellow Ateneans – in the aftermath of the Kings’ Game 5 loss, Tenorio redeemed himself with a gut-wrenching performance in Game 6 as he backstopped superstar Mark Caguioa (21 points) and 6-foot-11 rookie Greg Slaughter (20, 11 rebounds).

 

“Di ko na inisip ang sarili ko na makabawi,” said Tenorio, who had 16 points with three 3-pointers. “Ang inisip ko lang e yung team at yung sinabi ni Sen. [Robert] Jaworski na huwag namin sayangin yung tiwala ng taong-bayan.”

 

Jaworski, who played and coached Ginebra at the height of its phenomenal popularity in the ‘80s, attended Game 6 and stepped into the locker room at halftime, with the Kings trailing, 50-41, to offer words of encouragement.

 

According to those inside the dugout, the Big J had urged the Kings to stay aggressive defensively, focus on the job at hand and to never stop communicating inside.

 

Clearly roused by the dressing room visit of the man who stands at the center of Ginebra mania, the revved up Kings returned in the second half and engineered a roaring comeback in the third quarter, outscoring the Mixers, 32-24, and setting up the cliffhanging finish.

 

Yap, 1-of-6 from 3-point range, again had the fate of the Mixers placed in his hands. But the two-time MVP was short on a way-out triple at the buzzer and was silent on a crucial foul called on him with 16 seconds left that sent Caguioa to the line for two free throws that made it, 92-91, for the Kings.

 

He was also quiet on their chances in Game 7.

 

His frontline partner Marc Pingris, who had 20 points and 6 rebounds, was less guarded in his optimism however.

 

“Hindi nila [Kings] makukuha sa’min yan,” Pingris told Interaskyon.com. “Kinapos lang kami.”

 

Pingris wasn’t the first in the bold prediction department.

 

Jayjay Helterbrand, who drained a big 3-point shot during Ginebra’s third quarter rally, had earlier guaranteed a Kings victory in Game 6, a pledge 14,473 inside the Big Dome saw fulfilled before midnight Monday.

 

With the stakes sky-high and the odds greater than ever in Game 7, it’s now the Mixers’ turn to back up their man. And Pingris will demand nothing less.

 

A key factor for Ginebra will be its defense on Mark Barroca, PJ Simon and explosive rookie Justin Melton who have had their way against their Kings counterparts.

 

Another will be Ginebra’s ability to break up San Mig’s triangle offense and backdoor plays which time and again caught the Kings looking the other way.

 

Tenorio setting up play from the top and Caguioa and Slaughter posting up can also only go so far in giving the Mixers defensive problems.

 

For the Kings to be able to open up the middle for the high-leaping Japeth Aguilar, Slaughter and JayR Reyes, patient ball movement and weak-side picks will be of the essence in setting up their shooters, including Mac Baracael (3 of 4 triples), Helterbrand and Tenorio, for open looks and drive-and-dish penetrations.

 

And somewhere out there, Yeng Guiao will be watching as the Kings and the Mixers tear each other apart, waiting to see which of his coins the wishing well would bless.

 

Then he strikes. (WJRHT)

that's what i wrote recently chief. imagine what a pep talk during the halftime break can do...what more if the big j himself is the one calling the shots for the gin kings. kung ang ginebra noon ay napag-champion ni jawo with benny cheng, wilmer ong, pido jarencio and co., what more this present lineup. this team loaded with young talents will surely be a dynasty. di pa ba naririnig ng management ang sigaw ng buong pilipinas. JA-WORS-KI...JA-WORS-KI!!!
