The almost gone Dylan saved the day with his sniping in the 2nd half. There's no stopping GSM once they got the momentum.

Agree ako with you. I think that if there is someone to mentor Greg IMHO it must not be Marlou. Sabi ko nga sa ngayon un laro ni Marlou ang siyang laro na rin ni Greg (in terms of Mobility and perim

EXPECT a masked avenger to take the the floor for Barangay Ginebra Wednesday.

Mark Caguioa has been deemed fit enough to play and will be suiting up when the Kings square off with the Air21 Express at the start of their PBA Governors Cup campaign at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

"He's been cleared by the doctors," was Ginebra coach Siot Tanquingcen's simple reply to a query regarding the prolific guard sorely missed in the perennial crowd favorites' futile Commissioner's Cup semifinals stint.

Caguioa averaged close to 17 points and more than six rebounds per game in the mid-season tourney before being sidelined by an eye injury last March 30. His absence clearly told on Ginebra's bid as it bowed to eventual champion B-Meg in five games.

His figures were good enough for Caguioa to get voted as Best Player of the Conference, but he said in the post-awards interview he would have readily traded the software for a shot at helping Ginebra.

He now has his chance.

Caguioa is going to wear a protective mask and is expected to see limited action, but his presence alone should be a big enough morale- and confidence-booster for the Kings.

Throw in the fact there is import Cedric Bozeman, who management thinks is the right fit for the Kings.

"He is long, agile and has a wide wingspan," related Ginebra's representative to the PBA Board, Robert Non, of the well-traveled Bozeman who has seen action from Europe to the NBA D-League. "He can go strong to the basket but also has a good range."

Also getting to show their wares in a Ginebra uniform are Rico Maierhofer and Allein Maliksi, who were acquired from B-Meg and Barako Bull, respectively, last November despite their injuries. Maliksi was sidelined by a strained lateral cruciate ligament and Maierhofer by a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

For its part, Air21 is parading Zach Graham, Bozeman's most recent teammate in the Reno Bighorns. Also barely making the tourney's 6-foot-5 height limit for imports, He should provide the scoring punch the Express need to offset their relatively low ceiling.

"We are still an undersized team," admitted Air21 coach Franz Pumaren. "Hopefully, our import can compensate for it in terms of scoring."

With a frontline that also boasts of Billy Mamaril, Kerby Raymundo,Rudy Hatfield, Rico Villanueva and Willy Wilson, Ginebra appears to have a decisive advantage. But Tanquingcen does not want any

 

"It is crucial to get a good start. so we need to focus and not take anything for granted," said Tanquingcen.

Caguioa lifts Gin Kings past Air21

By Musong R. Castillo

Philippine Daily Inquirer 10:03 pm | Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012 share1 1 http://1-ps.googleusercontent.com/h/sports.inquirer.net/files/2012/05/300x225xginebra-air21-300x225.jpg.pagespeed.ic.AV5tV1mpYY.jpgGINEBRA’S Cedric Bozeman (right) steals the ball from Air21’s Zachary Graham. AUGUST DELA CRUZ

 

Mark Caguioa returned from a career-threatening eye injury and came up with a performance that inspired Barangay Ginebra no end last night.

 

Caguioa finished with 15 points and three others scored in twin digits as the Gin Kings bamboozled Air21, 103-85, to start their PBA Governors’ Cup campaign on a hot note at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

In the second game, Meralco subdued injury-depleted Talk ‘N Text, 105-99.

“It’s really a blessing that Mark was given a clearance (to play) by the doctors,” said coach Siot Tanquingcen. “For sure, Mark is the soul of this team.”

Tanquingcen noted that Caguioa was “still a bit rusty, understandably, and he’s still feeling his way around” but the fiery Ginebra guard felt good after his first attempt, a triple in the first quarter, hit nothing but net.

Import Cedric Bozeman hit for 29 points, had 13 rebounds and six assists in an impressive Ginebra debut, while Allein Maliksi, a young talent returning from a knee injury, fired 13 points in 16 minutes coming off the bench.

 

But the night clearly belonged to Caguioa, who just three weeks ago wasn’t even sure if he could return for the season after an accidental hit from B-Meg’s James Yap last March 30 broke his right orbital socket.

“It feels really good to be back on the court with these guys,” Caguioa, who wore protective glasses and will likely do so for the rest of his career, added. “I just need to lose weight and in a few more games I think I’ll be alright.”

 

Ren-Ren Ritualo scored 13 and James Sena 11 for the Express, who put Jojo Duncil in the reserved list after a reported run-in with coach Franz Pumaren during practice two weeks ago when Duncil fouled their import hard in practice.

 

The scores:

First Game

GINEBRA 103—Bozeman 29, Caguioa 15, Maliksi 13, Hatfield 10, Ababou 9, Cortez 8, Raymundo 7, Wilson W. 6, Wilson J. 3, Labagala 2, Villanueva 1, Maierhofer 0, Canaleta 0.

AIR 21 85—Graham 31, Ritualo 13, Sena 11, Isip 6, Omolon 6, Jazul 5, Espiritu 4, Sison 4, Bagatsing 3, Hubalde 2, Menor 0, Faundo 0.

Quarters: 23-18, 45-39, 71-62, 103-85

Second Game

MERALCO 105—Oguchi 29, Mercado 24, Cardona 15, Hugnatan 12, Taulava 9, Artadi 8, Macapagal 4, Ross 3, Reyes 1.

TALK ‘N TEXT 99—Harris 32, De Ocampo 17, Aban 13, Peek 11, Raymundo 9, Fonacier 9, Dillinger 8, Gamalinda 0, Aguilar 0, Alvarez 0, Lao 0.

Quarters: 22-28, 54-52, 83-78, 105-99

Dont forget the performance of Malixi..............watch out this man.

 

i agree chief...it was just unfortunate that malixi was injured during ginebra's run last conference. a little more playing time he'll be having better performances for bgk. i believe malixi and ababou will be at the forefront of ginebra's future.
