fyi, Escalona has been released and is trying his luck with COKE. Its unlikely though that he'll get the nod.

meron n bang official line-up ang kings for the coming season?

 

 

 

 

 

 

hope to see makita yun official line-up ng barangay ginebra kings...sinu nawala at sinu ang mga pumalit..yun mga injured players like mark caguioa at junthy valenzuela maglalaro na kaya?...excited to see the gin kings play with these powerful line-up na!!!...tagal ng opening eh=D

[peithe]

used to listed on 918 every 11 am during saturdays, un program ni Aida G. Guest parati dun si Danny Espiritu. He gave an update on the Gin Kings and mentioned that hindi pa na finalized un composition ng team. menk for example is expected to be retained but have not signed a contract. I think that team manager Samboy as well as Allan C are still in the US for some exhibition games of the PBA Legends ... Baka by next month pa maayos ang official line-up.

 

what I know so far is that Cabatu, Pacana, Escalona, Se, Lanete are some of the Gin King players that have been release/trying out with other teams.

 

Sa new additions, I think Mark Isisp has joined them.

Erik “Major Pain” Menk who has been a stalwart of the Barangay G inebra frontline plans to end his playing career with the Gin Kings, dousing coldwater on reports that he was likely to move to another team for the forthcoming 2009-2010 PBA season.

 

Ginebra coach Jong Uichico confirmed that they had discussed the terms of Menk’s new contract and come to an agreement before Menk who played well in the last Reinforced Conference championship series against San Miguel Beer after returning from a calf injury, left for the US to visit his parents.

 

Uichico told us Menk had assured him that he would end his career in the PBA playing for Ginebra and there was no doubt he would keep his word.

 

www.insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports learned that Menk had agreed to a one-year contract after which, depending on his physical condition and performance they would talk about the years ahead.

 

Menk who formed an awesome twosome with Sonny Alvardo who suited up for Tanduay Rhum but was later ruled to be ineligible to play as a Filipino signed up with Ginebra shortly before Tanduay sold its franchise to FedEx, now flying the colors of Air 21.

 

Menk who turns 35 on August 24 was a direct hire by Tanduay in 1999 and played college basketball in the US f or Lake Superior State University.

 

However, Menk was loaned to the Philippine Team that was preparing to compete in the Asian Games under a team coached by Uichico and Ginebra struggled in both the Governors’ Cup and the Commissioner’s Cup.

GINEBRA’S bid to become taller and bigger in the coming PBA season is far from over.

 

Kings coach Jong Uichico yesterday told Malaya his team has until early next month to come up with the additional ceiling that will help them contend with the rest of the teams.

 

"We’re still filling up some of our spots and hopefully we can put the finger on the final lineup we want by the end of this week," said Uichico.

 

"After that, we’ll see if we can make more moves until the first week of September. After that wala ng galawan ang mga teams. But as of now we’re taking time making our decisions on how to further strengthen our team."

 

What is definite for Uichico is the idea of which teams to keep up with.

 

"Talk N Text, San Miguel Beer and Purefoods, because they can effectively play big or small. I don’t have that luxury yet," said Uichico.

 

The Philippine Cup opens on Oct. 11 and Uichico hopes to have a contending roster by then, including four major players, Mark Caguioa, Junthy Valenzuela, Eric Menk and Jayjay Helterbrand, who should be completely healed from their injuries.

Caguioa is already practicing with the team after missing the entire season-ending Fiesta Conference due to a knee injury while Valenzuela is already strengthening his own knee that was operated on last February.

 

Menk suffered from a strained muscle between his calf and Achilles tendon and is set to return next week from a US vacation while Helterbrand has been given until the first week of September to heal his hamstring injury.

 

Uichico stressed they are closely watching the progress of Caguioa and Valenzuela.

 

"With Mark, so far so good. He’s been reacting positively to intensive training, pero ang tinitingnan namin how his knee will react kapag sunod-sunod na ang games at practices. Baka kasi mag-react negatively, pahinga na naman siya ng matagal," Uichico said.

 

"Si Junthy naman, question mark pa rin pagdating sa basketball stage," Uichico added. "Any time now, baka maalis na ang sakit, then he can start going 100 percent na sa strengthening. But we’re giving him an extra month, to see how it goes."

 

The return of Caguioa, Helterbrand and Valenzuela, however, can only add on to Ginebra’s intrinsic strength, which are its small men that includes Cyrus Baguio, Chico Lanete, Ronald Tubid and Sunday Salvacion.

 

The team’s real problem lies in the frontline, as showcased in its Fiesta finals against eventual champion SMB.

 

"Once we went big, we sacrificed so much in offense. Once we went small, outmatched naman kami," he pointed out.

 

Trades with Purefoods have netted Ginebra slotman Enrico Villanueva and forwards Rich Alvarez and Paolo Bugia, as well as playmaker Celino Cruz.

can't wait to see our barangay ginebra kings in action...sobrang exciting siguro nila panoorin this coming season lalo na pag fastbreak na...imagine jayjay 'da fast' can choose who he'll pass to finish the play either 'skyrus' baguio, mark 'da spark' caguiao, junthy 'da hitman' valenzuela and r0nald 'da fearless' tubid 0r he may finish it with himself=)...with these so much acquisitions and trades i believe we have a better shot at the title and can contend any teams with match-ups either they play small ball or big... GINEBRA! GINEBRA! GINEBRA! GINEBRA! GINEBRA! =)

nanghihinayang lang ak0 kay PA brad panu sa gin kings na sya gumaling at nag-impr0ve talaga eh, then he g0es back t0 puref00ds where he cant find playing time sa system ni c0ach yabang greg0ri0...h0pe makita pa din natin sa hardc0urt sa PA at wag sa bench ng TJ giants=(...

[bagito]

fyi, Escalona has been released and is trying his luck with COKE. Its unlikely though that he'll get the nod.

 

I see.... kala ko kukunin din sila Arao at Membrere para makalaro naman sila sa PBA!

[Agent_mulder]

Im surprised to know na nasa kanila na din si Mark Isip, this is a good post-up player, may medium range jumper din at ok din sa rebounding so malaki ang maitutulong n'ya kina Menk, Mamaril at Villanueva. Kelan ba ang opening ng PBA?

[ray004]

^ october 11 pa sir

[shafeeq96]

Caguioa back in top form – Uichico

correct sir! malakas talaga si isip. he puts his head into the game. I remember during his UAAP days, he would go up against

jun jun cabatu. wala magawa sa kanya si cabatu. puro yabang lang kasi! tapos si cabatu trash talking lang ang ginagawa..

obviously, the frontcourt of bgk became stronger.

[rakizta]

Good addition on part of BGK,oks din naman si Isip ginagamit nya isip nya sa laro....hehehe

[Agent_mulder]

Powerhouse ang Ginebra lalo na pag nakalaro na si MC47, Ginebra na! Jong ayusin mo lang ang rotation ng mga players mo at malayo ang mararating n'yo sa coming season..

[Guest megalodon]

Who are the players in the line-up of Ginebra now? 5 yata ang Atenista right?

[junix]

i can only think of 4 ateneans right now - intal, villanueva, alvarez and bugia. if kramer is still in the line-up that will make it 5 ateneans.

[Agent_mulder]

Alisin na din 'yang si alvarez, I never liked this player maski noon pa, tama ang sabi ko na pag pumasok na ng PBA 'to walang binatbat dahil all-hype lang 'to..

[Guest megalodon]

Dapat si Alvarez and Villanueva tangalin. Hehe.

I hope they cut Bugia. Hehe. Is Menk still with BGK? I hope he does another tour of duty sa Ginebra.

[Agent_mulder]

Dapat si Alvarez and Villanueva tangalin. Hehe.

 

Si alvarez na lang, dahil si Villanueva pang-Ginebra talaga lalo na ang pagiging physical n'ya hehe..
