nice win! some few things i noticed (good and not good)

 

jay-jay is filling-in the shoes of the #2 spot while mark is healing from injury.

 

tubid getting things done with his hussle (kaya lang minsan nasosobrahan sa acrobatics)

 

valenzuela is playing smart, not getting his numbers when he was in RB, but i like him in the team now. lying low and just getting rebounds and giving passes for his teammates.

 

crisano is a beast with more brains now. hehehe... i personally want him to have more playing minutes than menk.

 

salvacion --- ano na ba nangyari dito? sayang yung talent nya no, ang ikli na lang ng playing time nya. sya na lang kaya ang i-trade para kay washington or devance. nyahahaha...

 

menk --- ganun pa rin, seems to move too slow now.

plus he had a couple of shot blocks..

nakaktawa yung interview ni Alexander.. "He's still human.. Whatever he's name is..." (Rhalimi) :lol:

 

Si Valenzuela is the Stopper and maintaiance BALANCE sa team.. cause most of the players are RUN and GUN.

And Coach Jong quoted.. that is why we got him cause he has the EXPERIENCE already.. kesa kukuha ng Bago tao sa Draft Picks na hindi pa sigurado.

hmm, ano meron sa PF at ayaw maglaro ng 2 players?

 

Anyway, sana nga manalo mamaya.

 

Crisano used be the highest vertical leaper in the PBA. I like his energy when he plays. Menk has lost his game. Lipat na lang siya ibang team baka magbago pa game niya.

 

 

sa tingin ko.. pautot nanaman ni Ryan yan.. para malito yung depensa ng kalaban.. just like dati when Kerby was injured di nila sinabi na hindi makakalaro si Kerby.

 

 

mukhang totoo nga tsismis sa loob ng team ng purefoods..obvious yung laro ni james yap. daming turn over at pilit mga tira

 

 

hmmm..jawo-fernandez in the making yan! hehe

 

ooops off topic ako :rolleyes:

 

Bahala na sila kung pautot man ni kups este ryan yan o totoo pero comment ko lang, paano naman 'yung isa na puro media milleage has been getting all the credit samantalang yung isa na kayod ng kayod in both ends of the floor hindi napupuna masyado ang efforts, lalo pang ginatungan ano hehehe...

 

ayos sana may video yng taunting nung 2 import, di ko kasi napanuod eh

 

10 minutes into the 4th quarter ko na napanood game nila kagabi, ang ganda nga ng asaran noong 2 imports, pero mas maganda yung pang-asar ni Alexander after that alley-opp dunk galing kay Artadi, ok din ang ginawa ni Artadi, 'yung undergoal stab niya, his 2 free throws at syempre yung assist niya ke Alexander for that dunk, tanggalin na si Escalona hehehe. It was a team effort pa din syempre with Helterband, Tubid, Alexander, Valenzuela and even Mamaril and Artadi contributing to the Ginebra cause. OT pero classmates ko sa college yung writer named Russell Cadayona na sumulat ng article regarding Caguioa, college pa lang kami mahilig na gumawa ng mga sports story yan :goatee:

Also Tubid, there are times na ang mga binabantayan niya ay sina Kerby at James

Junthy V has been coaxed by Art Dela Cruz to be the "stopper" in BGK

 

He has been reviewing game tapes of the top local scorer prior matches

 

That explains the dip in his scoring...besides...you have Caguioa, Tubid & Helterbrand for the points hehe

 

true! he bring to the fore someone who's willing to do what it takes to win...

ok na sana yung role na yan kay Tubid but he sometimes gets carried away

 

ayos sana may video yng taunting nung 2 import, di ko kasi napanuod eh

 

try searching for it sa youtube...

HELTERBRAND’S HEROICS LEAD GINEBRA PAST COCA-COLA

Kings win 3rd straight and 5th in last 6 games as “Fast & Furious” tandem back in action

Sunday, 15 June 2008

 

JAYJAY Helterbrand must have been so glad to finally have his backcourt partner back. So much so that the other half of the famous “The Fast and The Furious” combo made sure Mark Caguioa's return to action would be a memorable one by coming up with two big plays in the endgame that enabled Barangay Ginebra to hurdle tough Coca-Cola, 91-84, Sunday night in the Smart PBA Fiesta Conference at the Araneta Coliseum.

 

Helterbrand drained a clutch triple that gave the Kings an 89-80 lead and followed that up a few seconds later with a fastbreak layup off his own steal that totally quashed whatever hopes the Tigers may have had of salvaging the game.

 

Those heroics gave Ginebra an unassailable 91-84 lead and capped a sterling all-around performance by the wily point guard, further stoking Ginebra's determined charge for a playoff spot.

 

“He has become a better all-around player now,” said Kings coach Jong Uichico, referring to his ace point guard who finished with a game-high 27 points aside from four rebounds and three assists. “We all know he's a very good offensive player, but he's also been playing defense very well now. So he's getting to a different level by adding assists and defensive aspects to his game.”

 

Chris Alexander's game-high 22 rebounds went well with his 13 points, five blocks and excellent defense on Coke counterpart Jason Dixon, while Caguioa returned from a bout with tendinitis that caused him to miss three games to score 14 points.

 

Uichico also gave special mention to Caguioa.

 

“Humiling lang ako sa kanya ng a few minutes, para dumali ang rotation. Pinagbigyan naman niya ako sa request ko, even though his knee was still hurting,” bared Uichico of Caguioa who played with his right knee all wrapped.

 

All those helped Ginebra to win six of its last seven games, including its last three, to improve to a 7-8 win-loss record and a tie at sixth with idle Talk 'N Text.

 

“Talagang we're treating each game like it's our last game of the eliminations, especially in our situation,” related Uichico. “The players are responding and it's a good sign. We're getting closer, but we're not there yet, so the next three games are really important for us to get close to the top.

 

“I hope we can continue that. Mindset lang naman, eh.”

 

The loss was erstwhile co-leading Coke's sixth in 15 games, relegating it to a tie with idle Air21.

 

With a 9-5 record Red Bull is left all alone at the top, and it could widen the gap should it prevail over Purefoods in the second game Sunday.

 

Donald Copeland, Nic Belasco and Cesar Catli, who equalled his career-high, each scored 18 points and Alex Cabagnot added 17, but the Tigers still lost, mainly when their hustle couldn't quite match Ginebra's when it mattered most.

 

Dixon had 11 rebounds, but he was held to just seven points, matching his lowest output in the season-ending conference which he registered then the Tigers defeated Magnolia 106-92 last May 9. He went into the game averaging 25.1 ppg.

 

Even Ronjay Buenafe, the highest scorer among rookies with an 11.5 ppg norm, was held to just three points.

 

But Buenafe's lone trey came to move Coke, which trailed by as many as 41-59 early in the third period, within 80-84, still 2:23 left.

 

Then came Alexander's follow-up of his second straight offensive rebound and Helterbrand's triple for Ginebra's nine-point lead, 1:02 left.

 

Coke refused to wilt just yet, with Copeland sinking a charity and Cabagnot booming in his own trey off Dixon's fourth offensive rebound to whittle the deficit to just five, still 55 ticks left.

 

Then came Helterbrand's strip, snatching the ball away from Copeland's hands and scooting home for the uncontested layup that proved to be the game's final and most decisive dagger, only 14.3 ticks left. (NCo)

 

The scores:

 

Barangay Ginebra 91 -- Helterbrand 27, Caguioa 14, Alexander 13, Valenzuela 11, Tubid 8, Menk 8, Artadi 4, Mamaril 4, Crisano 2.

 

Coca-Cola 84 -- Copeland 18, Catli 18, Belasco 18, Cabagnot 17, Dixon 7, Buenafe 3, Talulava 3, Macapagal 0, Dimaunahan 0, Telan 0.

 

Quarterscores: 23-24, 51-41, 71-60, 91-84.
