Barangay Ginebra Kings

[daphne loves derby]

Mas maigi pa rin na secondary option na lang si Greg. Weakside rebounding na lang sya, siguradong unstoppable sya dun as long as wag syang lalambot lambot. Jervy Cruz would also definitely be a crucial player in this series. A confident KFer and a back in form AJ Mariano would be the Xfactor for this series. Although, sa dalawang gwardya, who would be the better option na layasan ni Scottie to help in rebounding: Cabaggie or Ross?

 

If si cabagnot babantay sa kanya, malamang sa malamang mananalasa na naman sa rebounding si scottie.

Ross will definitely try to shutdown LA.

 

Maybe Marcio will guard Scottie? Grabe ang laki ng SMB pag ganito lineup tinapat sa tin: Ross - Marcio - MGR - Arwind - JMF

Pero kaya yan ng triple guard lineup natin with LA, Scottie, Sol, JDV, Japhet (wag na muna si barney)

I think they will try to attack scottie more para mapagod sa depensa at di masyado maka rebound.

I think sa defensive rebounding, wag na muna iwanan ni Scottie yung tao nya. All of SMBs guards can hurt us from outside. Sa offensive rebounding na lang sya tumulong.

 

Once na ginamitan tayo ng ganyan kalaking lineup ng SMB, yari naman sila kay Sol Train.

 

Grabeng chess match to starting Friday.

[Hari ng Spakol]

It will be grudge match against SMB, it will be a long series, best of 7 for semis and another best of seven series for Finals.

CTC should maximize his bench players and rotation. This is not only a chess match, but paguran din ito ng players. importante na lagi silang may fresh legs sa loob. imagine, after QF, one day lang ang rest nila at pukpukan na ng husto bukas ng gabi.

[Archdevil]

The way I see it, BGK needs Greg to match up with JunMar. He is the one single player who can cover Junmar. Palitan na lang sila ni R. Aguilar para mapagod si JMF. The other players should step up. Ginebra is definitely the underdog in this series.

[*badass*]

sa akin lang while ginebra played a great series against RoS even without greg, iba pa din yung may panapat kay junemar. mapagod lang nina greg at raymond si junemar malaking bagay na yun. i hope caperal and manuel will be given their chance to play. matagal na series ito.

mabuti pa yung miranda na di naman masyadong kilala nabibigyan ni guiao ng playing time. si manuel na star player ng UP ang hirap makakuha ng kahit isang minutong playing time kay coach tim. sabagay kilala naman si kalbo na talagang pinapalaro halos lahat ng nasa bench.

In all fairness to CTC, nabigyan naman si Jett ng playing time last game, almost 5 mins din yun bridging the first and second quarters. Baka mas magamit ito next game, lalo na at best of 7 ang semis.

May laban b mamaya?

buti pa yung NLEX nakakuha ng isa...in 7 pa tsk tsk tsk nonetheless, let these alleged "experts" know that predictions mean nothing to ginebra. focus lang yan and stick to the game plan. the game is won on the basketball court. SMB is beatable and we will win this series. i do want a sweep to silence these experts but let's be realistic...i'd say ginebra in 7. tiwala lang. Ginebra NSD!!!

Tama dre. Bilog ang bola.

 

Ang importante, makuha ang game 1 mamaya.

[dr. unknown]

Si Ross ang no 1 flop ng PBA!

[junix]

sloppy basketball. TOs!!!TOs!!! at TOs ulit. sinamahan pa ng buwenas ng SMB. obviously lack of energy on the part of the ginkings. it's a long series...expect the necessary adjustments.

[Kazekage.Gaara]

LA not playing like the typical LA kanina.

 

Si Scottie na lang ang pumapalag eh. Anyways, bawi na lang next game.

[*kalel*]

they should learn to defend the long ball... tapos they should be able to make long shots... same story pag nakaharap nila smb...

[holygrail_24]

LA is realy the baramoter of the team. If he plays well (scores edficiently and gets his teammates going) I believe the Kings have a fighting chance. Don’t rush Slaughter to get back if di pa sya 100 percent but good wuality minutes from him would also be beneficial. The Kings have no choice to double on Fajardo but he’s a smart player so watch out for kick out 3 pointers pn the next game. Pessumal was the x factor that’s why they lost. Gins are definitely the underdogs but hey dito nga nabuhay ang NSD.

 

Laban lang. Wala pang kangkungan. Lol

Greg's timeline is at the most, Game 4. Kelangang makaisa ng Gins in either Game 2 or 3.

 

MC13 - out with an ankle injury.

Paolo Taha - injured tonight, possible MCL.

Thanks for the heads up sir. Di ko kasi napanood buong game. With the injury bug biting out team mukhang mas mahihirapan tayo sa smb. But still ain’t over til it’s over. Idaan nalang sa crowd attendance. Pansin ko kanina sa highlights, kahit Friday ngayon medyo walang tao. Hoping for a different crowd this Sunday. I know it’s not Manila Clasico but hey it’s still Ginebra haha

[daphne loves derby]

pick your poison.. SMB didnt do anything special.. Double junmar to take away his usual game - done, but results to open 3's of Arwind and Lassiter. Its basic basketball.

 

During Von Pessumals run, wala na si junmar at 2nd unit din natin ang naglalaro.

 

I think its fatigue that took a toll on our team. kaya sa tingin ko hindi na pinilit ni CTC nung 2nd half si LA, Japhet at JDV para makapahinga.

Kinain din ng buhay ng 2nd unit ng SMB ang 2nd unit natin, in short - MISMATCH.

 

We will get game 2, we have the master of adjustments in CTC. He knows what to do.

 

Hirap talaga si LA kay Ross (sabagay kahit naman sinong guwardya sa PBA)

Japhet actually had a good game, kulang lang talaga sa support. JDV has more TO than points i think.

Scottie is the ultimate warrior. Yung weakness natin na 3spot lumalabas against SMB dahil nga wala si Barney. Pag sinama mo si sol sa starting unit, wala ka ng aasahan sa 2nd unit. Kaso wala p masyadong mapiga ke AJ at KFer.

 

OK yung Caperal. I hope he continues to be aggressive.

Kung ako pipili, let JMF have his numbers on single coverage. Pero make sure to stop everyone else. Kung palitan lang ng score na 2 pts each, hindi gagana yang mga gunners ng SMB. Basta walang 3pt play.

[junix]

sa akin lang last night was more of smb's on target offense...while ginebra, except for scottie, had one of its sloppiest basketball in months. siguro nga fatigue. we had RoS for 3 straight games. the 1st was even a triple OT win. kaya nga siguro pinagpahinga na sina LA, jdv at japeth. even pessumal had his night. sablay naman halos every game night yan kaso kagabi halos lahat ng ibato sa tres pasok. let's see the adjustments and let's see kung uubra pa din yung mga long balls ng smb.

[darksoulriver]

yan ang problem ka CTC forcing to much playing time sa Starters ayun bumigay!

 

daming open outside shooting ng SMB

daming TO

daming lapses sa depensa

daming tamad bumaba sa depensa

madaming dapat baguhin si CTC kung gusto manalo against SMB

 

yung panalo nila nung elims vs SMB wag na nilang asahan mangyari ulit kung walang gagawin pagbabago sa rotation

 

SMB can be beaten kung mawawala si JMF kya nga they move mountains just to get Stand...

[dr. unknown]

Big factor ang turn overs natin, more than 20 TO yata 3rd Q pa lang, almost lahat yun coverted into points ng SMB.

 

Also mahirap talunin talaga ang SMB with the way they played last night. Hindi pa gumawa si Junmar masyado.

 

But we will bounce back. NSD pa din.

Actually hindi naman kinain ng 2nd unit ng SMB ang 2nd unit ng Gins, nag rally pa nga tayo, dahil nung 4th quarter nakapag adjust yung 2nd unit natin at nag start tayo humabol, kaya medyo nag panic si Austria nun kaya binalik agad niya yung starters nya na sina Fajardo, Ross at Lassiter. Noong lumayo na ulit ang lamang at pagod na din yung 2nd unit natin, at saka nya ulit nilabas yung starters nya.

 

Limited lang ang pahinga nila dahil isang araw lang ang pagitan ng mga laban nila, need talaga ni CTC na i rotate mabuti yung 1st and 2nd unit nya para hindi bugbog sa laro, at hindi tayo naiiwan sa fastbreak, i have noticed si Sol Mercado binabad nya ng 1st and 2nd quarter, walang pahinga, dapat kay Sol sa 2nd unit ilagay para may offensive threat pa din tayo, kaso lang need din talaga tapatan yung 3 guard combo ng SMB.

 

nabawasan na tayo ng dalawang players (MC13 and Taha) need talaga mag step up yung ibang players. Si Caperal dapat lagi ipasok para tumaas pa ang kumpiyansa sa laro. ganun din si Manuel. si Greg baka sa game 3 pa daw makalaro, huwag na lang sana pwersahin kasi instead na makatulong eh baka maging liability pa sya at maging asintahan ni JMF. Try din ni Raymond Aguilar na i cover ulit si Fajardo 1:1. para walang ma open na shooters.

 

Kung pwede lang sana i activate si De Guzman tutal may injured players naman sila, para dagdag pantapat kay Fajardo.

[*kalel*]

let japheth or idv guard junior 1on-1... solve the riddle of the 3 point shot whether on offence or defense
