^ ROS will be the Finals underdog either way (BMEG or BGK) ..... last night's game showed that more than a few ROS players still get rattled nerves in the clutch.

Still, I'm with you ...... I also hope that ROS wins it's first one.

yeah, I agree on this, I like to see Lee win his first championship.. I like the guy, he knows how to make his teammates better, and he's very humble.. 

[wengkapre]

ginebra always has a hard time against b-meg. marc caguioa being stopped is not the only problem of bgk. siot can just make him a decoy for every ginebra play to set up the others. the other problem for ginebra is the other marc --- pingris. their last game showed this. they just can't seem to find the right match for him. the only thing i can think of to stop him is to get into his nerves. and kerby is the best guy to do that.

diko kasi napanood ng buo brader yung last game vs bmeg, di ba effective vs kay sakuragi si w. wilson or e. villanueva? pabantayan kaya kay BillyMama nang mabigyan?

pwede next season na lang muna mag champion ROS?  pag BGK pumasok sa Finals? pero pag BiikMEG, sige sa ROS ako

hindi eh. ping simply outwitted everyone thrown at him. ung pangbu-bwisit na lang talaga ni kerby ang katapat nya. i remember this during their semis series last conference. ping was ejected from the game and was suspended for the next game. sayang, wala na si tubid. if he were still there, dalawa sana silang magpapalitan ng pangbubuska kay ping.

Knockout game tonight between BMEG & BGK.

Like I posted earlier, If I were ROS, I'd prefer BGK to win it - Tanquincen is shaky, while Tim Cone is usually money come Finals.

BGK needs good contributions from many guys to win ...... particularly Hatfield, Cortez, Villanueva & any of the young guns (Kerby in scoring-mode, has it's pros and cons ...... very erratic by clutch time).

A win tonight, will likely win the MVP for Caguioa ...... a loss, will likely win it for Gary David or James Yap (always the popular choice, but definitely not the right choice this year ...... Yap played horrible for many games of the season).

haha,

[Chorus]

kampihan na !

[wengkapre]

manalo-matalo, BGK ako. Madugong labanan 'to, sana walang mainjured gaya nung nangyari kay mc47 last conference BiikMEG din kalaban nila sa semis 

[beknat]

Mark Caguioa on BMeg: Lintek lang ang walang ganti!

[frequenzy]

ganda ng laban.bmeg wins by 2!

[VenoM_Unleashed]

Panget last 2 plays ng BGK, coming from a time-out, inubos ng import ng Gin Kings 'yung oras nila, tapos pinasa kay Kerby at ititira lang pala sa three points ni Kerby, 'yun ba ang denisenyong play ni Siot  

Tapos with 2 seconds remaining sa Gin Kings ang bola score is 74 BMEG vs 72 BGK, coming from a time out ulit, binigay uli kay Kerby na double team sa three point line, pumeke, tumira... sablay, olats Gin Kings

Pwede naman sa loob kunin 'yung two points, tapos galingan na lang sa overtime, pero parang walang kalatoy-latoy 'yung plays ng Ginebra.

[Chorus]

Ayus panalo Bmeg 

[boredfilmmaker]

B-Meg it is. That was some game. Say what you will about SMC, but their teams really go all out against each other. Walang bigayan unlike Meralco and TNT. And B-Meg must really love Kerby now.

So there goes Caguioa's MVP hopes. Pretty tough for him to win now. I still wish he gets it, though. Never been a fan of his but I think he deserves it this time. Gary David was good this season but 2 conferences where he didn't lead his team past the elims is not an MVP performance for me. I just wish they won't give it to James Yap. B-Meg is having a great season because they have a great coach who knows how to use a good set of players.

Petron owns the 1st pick For 2012 PBA Rookie Draft via Air 21. Aba fully pack star players na ang petron dadagdagan pa ng 1st pick na to. Most likely petron will get fajardo if he will submit his papers before the aug 3 deadline.

** Tsk tsk tsk ..... like I've been harping on for the longest time - SMC teams are ultra-loaded with name players YET still be able to obtain high draft picks year after year after year.

SMC has Bert "Pimp Daddy" Lina & George "Original Pimp" Chua to thank ...... of course, no thanks needed when millions exchange hands (e.g. Arwind Santos for P20M).

Just this season, SMC somehow ended up with 7/10 first-round draft picks (Casio, Lutz, Lassiter, Barroca, Maliksi, Cervantes & Ababou) ..... of course, SMC will make it appear that Casio & Cervantes are with rival teams .... for now.

It's an open secret that both POWERADE (confirmed by a signed document) and BARAKO BULL are SMC-owned and operated.


** Fajardo will end up with an SMC team this draft or the next ..... even his college coach Roel Gomez stated as much - Fajardo will only enter the draft if SMC owns the spot to draft him.


** Also .... here's one more guarantee that SMC wont ever lack for players again.

how about Slaughter? reserved na ba sya for TNT?

[ivannn]

how about Slaughter? reserved na ba sya for TNT?

TnT or Meralco =)

[newwaveboy]

Slaughter may well end up with a TnT or MERALCO ....... but it would likely come via trade (a.k.a. player selling) from Bert "Pimp Daddy" Lina of course.

The MVP teams has had no top picks (even for the next few drafts), owing to TnT being a regular top-finisher and MERALCO's previous trades e.g. Taulava, Borboran, Macapagal, Ballesteros, Mercado, etc.

Meanwhile, SMC has cornered most of the top picks for the next few drafts (courtesy of the aforementioned Pimp Daddy).

It's not far-fetched that the MVP camp will emulate the blatant "set-up" that SMC is doing with elite big Junmar Fajardo.

[mikz023]

Slaughter will be probably the 1st draft pick when he apply on PBA.

If he is 23 then he is eligible, but he needs more muscle, kakatawanin lang sya sa PBA.. mas excited ako pag si parks na ang nag PBA..

the same thing was said about Ildefonso but we al know he has excelled

Parang japeth aguilar ba? 

[puffalan84]

I don't think we can compare him to Danny I bro, because during his NU days he already has the moves, the pivot, I heard he was once called bigger Patrimonio, kahit walng good backcourt support.. Slaughter has Ravena, who knows how to make his teammates more involve, then there's Buenafe who also dishes, Salva who can also draw attention, he needs to develop more than waiting for a drop pass or offensive rebounds..

[puffalan84]

Parang japeth aguilar ba? 

iba kasi laro ni Japhet bro, lumaki sya ng facing the basket hindi lowpost game.. umaasa sya tuloy sa jumping ability nya, alleyoops and putback.. kung maging Kerby Raymundo type lang sya, eh di baka may first NBA player na pinoy na, hehe. 

[boredfilmmaker]

if Japeth played like Kerby, lalo siyang hindi makakalaro sa NBA..

and about Slaughter, I don't think he has to worry about being pushed out of the post so easily.. the guy can bang bodies with anyone in the PBA.. he showed that already nung naglaro ang Gilas as guest team last year.. besides, there aren't enough big men in the PBA anymore.. wala ng kakatawan sa kanya by the time he enters the league..

what Slaughter needs is to polish his post game.. drop steps and fakes are very effective tools for a big man.. usually kasi, dinadaan niya lang sa lakas.. if he can't back down a defender, wala na.. kick out na lang.. that's actually what has disappeared sa big men in the PBA.. Ildefonso was the last real post player to come out of the amateurs.. you can see some glimpses of a post game in Sonny Thoss but it's mostly stregth based and not footwork..

I'm actually looking forward to the entry of both Slaughter and Fajardo.. both big guys can really play with their backs to the basket.. Slaughter has an edge in experience but Fajardo looks more comfortable at the post.. Fajardo, though, hasn't been challenged much in his career..

and rayray parks is a fil-am. kaya no issues on his citizenship.
