r3g1n Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Source:GMA News Fight between Arboleda, fan spoils BK win10/16/2009 | 06:51 PMEmail the Editor Print | | MoreVeteran guard Wynne Arboleda and a paying fan, who reportedly verbally assaulted the entire Burger King squad, spoiled Japeth Aguilar’s first meeting with his former squad after a fight ensued during Friday’s game between the Whopper and Smart Gilas. Arboleda and Smart-Gilas fan Alain Katigbak took center stage in the six-minute mark of the second period overshadowing Burger King’s 115-105 triumph over coach Rajko Toroman’s developmental team.Gary David of Burger King, left, goes one-on-one against Japeth Aguilar of Smart Gilas during their game in the PBA Philippine Cup Friday at the Big Dome. GMANews.TV Katigbak received kicks and punches from Arboleda while seated at the special ringside section at the back of the Burger King bench. The stocky playmaker charged to the fan, who reportedly issued profanities on every Burger King player on the bench. “Minumura niya ako ng minumura eh," Arboleda told GMANews.TV. “Lumapit na nga ako sa kanya para tumigil siya pero tuluy-tuloy pa rin siya ng mura sa akin." The incident took place after Arboleda was called for his second Flagrant Foul Penalty 1 against a driving Mac Barracael. Katigbak, reportedly a friend of Smart-Gilas team captain Chris Tiu, shouted invectives against Arboleda. Burger King assistant coach Rhoel Nadurata confirmed that Katigbak did verbally abused their players every time they are at the Whopper bench. Arboleda said he’s ready whatever penalty the PBA will impose on him adding that he does not regret his actions. He is expected to meet with league commissioner Sonny Barrios on Monday. “Yung family ko nanonood, tapos mumura-murahin lang ako," said Arboleda. Syempre, lalaki lang tayo eh. Pero dapat yung security sa Araneta should also do something, lalo na yung ganitong situation na mainit na yung fan and pinagmumumura kami." Allan Caidic, who was watching at the press row, believes Arboleda has no excuse of not being penalized. But he condemned the actions done by Katigbak, who not only threw invectives on the player but also issued a dirty finger while on the way out. “Yung ticket sa PBA may nakasulat yan sa likod na bawal magbigay ng profane language. Pwede mong asarin, pero huwag mo naman murahin. I know walang excuse si Wynne para hindi ma-penalize, but the Commissioner’s Office should also look into the matter on what triggered the player from doing such action," said Caidic. The fan reportedly went straight to the Central Police District to file charges against Arboleda. After the game, Burger King coach Yeng Guiao said the key to the win was their preparation against Smart-Gilas, which scored a 98-69 rout over his Powerade-Pilipinas men’s basketball team in the benefit game for typhoon "Ondoy" victims. “Nakatulong yung nakalaban namin sila sa benefit game," said Guiao. “We came out prepared beating their handoff plays, back picks and pick and roll. But I do believe they (Smart-Gilas) will get better and get themselves adjusted soon to the PBA brand of game," said Guiao. “It’s a good way to bounce back after a bad loss. It’s nice to win, especially against Smart-Gilas, which came out in this game beefed up," he added. Aguilar finished with 18 points, but was visibly bothered by Burger King's physical defense in the second half. He only scored two points in the fourth period. Smart-Gilas’ import CJ Giles finished with 12 markers and eight boards but fouled out inside the six-minute mark of the final period. – GMANews.TV Quote Link to comment
Agent_mulder Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) Nakaka-lalake naman pala talaga 'yung fans, like I said before, PBA players ought to be oriented or even re-oriented on how to deal with such fans, but that guy took obviously it so personally (porke kaibigan s'ya ni glamour boy chris tiu) na minumura n'ya si arboleda (and even the whole BK team) and considering na nasa likuran pa s'ya ng BK bench something is really bound to happen.. thanks for the info peithe televised ba ung games ng smart gilas sa pba? Super delayed telecast bro, 11:30 pm na pinalabas sa CS9. Edited October 17, 2009 by Agent_mulder Quote Link to comment
Guest megalodon Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 The Smart team ain't used to pro rules but then again they train under amateur rules so they still have to adjust. Quote Link to comment
bubuy Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) in no instance should a PRO player get into the stands to pick on fans. you're earning hundreds of thousands of pesos and you cant take verbal abuse? that only means you arent focused and locked in the game. have you guys forgotten about the artest brawl? he was thrown at, eh etong si arboleda sinigawan lang, kala mo naman kung ano na nangyari.that guy should be banned. :thumbsdownsmiley: ps. he shouldve done so outside the arena though if he wanted payback.. :hypocritesmiley: The Smart team ain't used to pro rules but then again they train under amateur rules so they still have to adjust. isnt that counter productive to what they are trying to achieve, they turn into another PBA playing style NT..

But if they really want topnotch competition, they should play European or South American teams since it is in these 2 continents where the best cagers outside of the USA can be found.

btljc Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Smart Gilas Vs. BK Today, we got clobbered, literally and figuratively, by the 'BK Whoopers'! It was more of a boxing match than a basketball match. We expected it, but we didn't see it coming this bad. Our offense wasn't so bad as we were still able to score 105 points and shot 47% from the field. BUT it was our defense that killed us, as we allowed 115 points for BK. We lost the rebounding battle as well by 12. BK played a great game today as well and made the necessary adjustments. They shot 59% from the field! That's excellent. For me it's not so much about the X and O's. It was their viciousness that got us out of our normal rhythm. 4 flagrant fouls in the first half and Winnie Arboleda's "attacking a fan" moment saw our 13 point lead disappear. Our players became hesitant to drive to the basket and dive for the loose balls. Most coaches will probably instruct their players to play physical when playing against a younger, skinnier and faster team in order to intimidate them. But playing dirty, is something else. It was a fitting initiation for us in our debut game in the PBA. It was a sorry loss for the Gilas team. We don't expect the referees to cut us some slack as seen today. It's as if there were two different standards for both teams. But that's precisely why we're in the PBA as a guest team. We're here to learn, to toughen up when playing more experienced and physical players. It's just really embarrassing to see a veteran/franchise player behave so unprofessionally. After getting away with a slap to the face of JV Casio, an elbow again to the face of JV and a football tackle to Mac Baracael, he still hasn't had enough and goes up to the stands to beat up a Gilas fan. All that in just 3 minutes inside the court. I am really curious to see what actions or inactions the PBA will take for such actions. Nevertheless, it was an entertaining game. See you Wednesday vs Talk and Text. Chris Tiu Quote Link to comment
ray004 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 i'm now watching the replay of their game against burger king right now @ btv. indeed, the bk players were out to rough house the smart gilas. i believe it was uncalled for. playing physical is far different from playing with intent to hurt your opponent. maybe it was guiao's instructions to hurt the smart gilas to get back at them after humiliating him and his own philippine team when they faced off. but then, wala namang tumama sa mga suntok ni arboleda dun sa fan Quote Link to comment

uaeboy25 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 loko pala yang si arboleda. si rudy distrito pinagmumura na sa Araneta dahil sa laro sa court pero never syang umatake ng fans. Quote Link to comment
photographer Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Actually, matagal nang ginagawa ni Arboleda yan, pati mga nananahimik na players, tinitira niyan. I wonder kung naglalaro pa si Distrito or si Jawo kung matitira niya mga yun. Nabalitaan ko asawa daw nito yung anak ni Bert Lina kaya parating nasa team ni Lina ang taong (o hayop) na ito. Sadyang nananakit ito. Dapat talaga BAN FOR LIFE! And tama yung isang nag comment dito. Nananakit na kasi ng players kaya pinagmumura. Sabi nga ng mga taong nakapanood, di naman maingay yung fan kaya lang nananakit na talaga si Arboleda. Hope matalo sa kaso itong hayop na ito para mawala na sa PBA. katawatawa na nga ang PBA tapos ganito pa ang mangyayari. COMMISSIONER BARRIOS.......BAN ARBOLEDA FOR LIFE! Quote Link to comment
