JV Casio or Paul Lee ?

I recall a couple of articles just prior to the 2011 PBA draft ..... making cases for JV Casio and Paul Lee as the 1st overall pick.

I picked Lee over Casio, just because of potential longevity ..... both are decent ball-handlers & both are great shotmakers - be it individual scoring or via team play (Casio has always been clutch, while Lee has more upside).

However, I felt Casio was a bit brittle & has actually battled sporadic injuries dating back to his last few UAAP years .... even missing GILAS games & the first few POWERADE games.

Lee meanwhile has transformed his game along with his build - during his early years, he was your typical running PG ..... but when he bulked up, he paced his game & was just bullying his way to points.

Both are great PG's ..... just somehow feel like Lee will have the longer PBA career.

tagal na walang quality games ang PBA so dpat kumita na sila ng husto sa mga series na eto. Labanan ng mga DEHADO at Labanan ng mga LYAMADO.

ivannn · « **Reply #394 on:** Jan 16, 2012 at 03:51 PM »

and so far... wala pang nagaganap na bench clearing at free for all =) although there have been some hard fouls pero cooler heads prevail pa rin...

steelcrazy · « **Reply #395 on:** Jan 18, 2012 at 09:51 AM »

Game 7 DO or DIE for both series tonite.
I feel its gona be ROS and TNT w/c will prevail and face each other at the PBA Finals for this conference.

ivannn · « **Reply #396 on:** Jan 18, 2012 at 10:11 AM »

sana parehong classic games mamaya at walang tambakan... =)

yes no matter what the results bastat fair lng ang tawag and let the players determine the outcome of the ball games.
MAY THE BETTER TEAMS WIN.

expect a highly emotional and extremely physical game seven...for both series. sa TnT vs. Petron, parehong may mga mainit na players, pati coach. sa RoS vs. Powerade, alam na natin kung sino ang mainit dyan. Coaches Chot and Yeng, di na ako magtataka kung ma-technical, or even thrown out, sila for their tempers.

steelcrazy · « **Reply #402 on:** Jan 18, 2012 at 06:45 PM »

Wow its POWERADE!
My expectations were wrong. ROS just wasnt in the mood to intimidate their opponent. They didnt play that physical and simply just dont have the heart to win.

almost everybody will cheer for the underdogs specially if they will give a good fight and challenge the Champion.

what a painful semis loss for petron. up 3-1 and ended at 3-4. they could have wrapped it up in game 5. it's either TnT stepping up its game or petron became too complacent. or a combination of both. still,it was a very painful series.

I think arwin doesnt deserve to get the mvp. Critical moment yun jumpball with ryan reyes tinalo pa siya sa tapikan.

Well, withith Petron out of the Finals and POWERADE in the Finals, i'm sure Gary David will finally get his recognition for Best Player of the Conference.

-sniper- · « **Reply #414 on:** Jan 19, 2012 at 10:14 AM »

hopefully he does. unless another TnT player steals it.

newwaveboy · « **Reply #415 on:** Jan 19, 2012 at 10:23 AM »

Gary David should probably win BPC ..... with PETRON's elimination, no one else comes close now.

Jason Castro was a strong early BPC candidate, but has slowed down the latter part of this conference ..... Arwind is a stats-filler, but even teammate Cabagnot might get more votes due to his clutch leadership.

If ever there was an award for toughness, heart, warrior-attitude, etc ...... Ali Peek definitely.

The guy is 36-years old, with a bullet slug stuck in his neck .... and he still does his thing every night.

Ali peek was very instrumental for TNT winning the series against Petron.
Naibalik ng TNT un old traditional low post game and Peek was able to deliver the goods for them.
I hope more teams will eventually use the post up style more coz i really missed watching those post moves like those of Patrimonio, Terry Saldana, Ramon Fernandez, even Danny Ildefonso.

yun ang wala kay arwind, ung leadership AND composure. he has the tendency to choke during the end-game. i still recall his very costly blunder during game of their 2008 series against ginebra. dying moments of the game, he made a crucial steal but missed a point-blank lay up. the ball did not even touch the rim. it could have been a game winner for them.

cabagnot, on the other hand, is never afraid to take crucial, game-winning shots, whether it is on a lay-up or from long range.

^^ Yup, many of our generation does appreciate the traditional post players.

Sadly though, traditional post players are a rare commodity nowadays.

Most local bigs now are equipped with agility, hops, etc ..... add the fact that since zone defenses were allowed - offensive sets now are mostly quick passing, movement, screens & cuts.

Currently, I enjoy watching Larry Rodriguez play - the man has a knack for scoring around the paint ..... I'm kinda reminded of Terry Saldana's game many years ago. Both are quiet operators as well.

the reinforced conference are of imports with unlimited height so i hope to see more post plays from them.
