Barangay Ginebra Kings

[buwitre1781]

Nagsisimula na ang trade between Air 21 and BGK. Pumaren is eyeing Mike Cortez. And with Air 21's frontline of Baclao, Canaleta, Rob Reyes plus si Yousef Taha. Baka nga pakawalan na nila si Sena.

[rickyfred]

Naku baka si Cortez pa ang matrade niyan sa Air21 gusto ni coach Pumaren makuha dati pa si Cortez...

 

 

[junix]

Maganda makuha si baclao

[rickyfred]

pwede na yan baclao at sena makuha natin mga masipag rumebound yang mga yan.

[rickyfred]

Kaya siguro di kinuha si Andaya kasi kukuha ng bigman ang Ginebra, baka si Sena o Baclao...

si Rob Reyes na lang. masyado maliit si sena para sa Center spot.

Nagpapagaling pa din from injury ata itong si Reyes

well at least center na center ung position nito hindi katulad ni Sena medyo pilit.

[ray004]

well buo na yung team as team officials says. unless somebody gets injured before the season starts maybe then they could accomodate other free agents.

I've just reed na si Labagala is nasa reserved list lang ng BGK and plan ng SMC na maglaro siya sa ABL together with Menk.

[ray004]

kawawa naman si labagala..di na umasenso ang career

Oo nga. Sa akin lang naman, magaling yung tao, parang Rondo kaya lang ang liit niya. Malalaki na talaga mga guard positions nowadays (hindi kagaya ng panahon ko hahaha). Look at Artadi. He has the heart kulang lang sa height.,

Ikaw ba naman ang mapunta sa team na tadtad ng PG's eh hehe, me Helterbrand, Cortez at ngayon Tenorio, so mas lalong malamang mawalan s'ya ng playing time, noong draft day nga kinuha pa ng Gin sina Zamar, Buensuceso at 'yung isa pa na parang chinese sounding ang name. Sana sa pag relegate nila kay Rob sa SMB sa ABL kunin na sana nila si Big Mac Andaya, sa center spot sila mahina eh, Kerby can switch to no. 4 naman....

[ray004]

i thought hindi nakuha si buensuceso because of the 5 filam per team rule?

[buwitre1781]

hindi talaga siya kasama sa lineup dahil ala ng slot para sa kaniya. tadtad na ng guards ang BGK kaya nga si Labagala baka reserve na lang.

[kempaf]

San ka?

Kampihan na!

Lahing GINEBRA!!!

[kempaf]

Promoted!!!

Ginebra back in fiery form

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.”

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.
