Barangay Ginebra

[Ozymandias]

Beginners luck for Coach Chualay. And hopefully makuha ang championship.

At parang mas maganda talaga laro ng Ginebra pag di naglalaro si Caguioa.

Beginner's Luck as a Ginebra Coach, iba din kasi motivational skills ni Al Chua, dati nung nsa sta lucia sya puro mura maririnig mo sa bunganga, ngayon ibang iba na. Pero mukang mabubugbog Ginebra sa Alaska, napaka physical nila maglaro lalo nasi Abueva. Kailangan nila sa Caguioa para may go to guy sila, pag wala kasi minsan wala silang scoring punch, nagiging Hack a Macklin pag nasa kanya palagi bola

May laro kasi yata yung Smart Gilas para sa FIBA Asia kaya iniusog din nila yung governor's cup ng August kaya ayan best of 5 lang.

During the quarterfinals against RoS, di naglaro si Caguioa, sa semis against TnT, sa game 5 lang pinaglaro ng kunti si #47, then sa finals pinaglaro sya at na-sweep sila ng Alaska.

Parang si The Spark yata sumira sa magandang chemistry ng Gin Kings na pinakita nila sa QF at SF. At isa pa, bakit kasi kinuha pa si Urbiztondo (wala talaga ako ka-elibs elib dito sa player na ito noon pa) na kangkarot maglaro eh may 3 nga silang point guard rotation with Tenorio, Helterbrand at Labagala? Tapos parang di nila namatch ang Alaska man for man with Coach Chua opted for a three guard line-up and minsan pa nga, 3 point guard line-up which is too small and really exploited by Alaska with Abueva as their 3. With 3 small guards, talagang hirap kontrolin ang inside game at rebounds with only Macklin doing much of these. Baracael and Hatfield were too small to match up against Thoss or Espinas. Sana itong 2 na ito eh tinapat kay Abueva sa 3 position at di si Caguioa o Helterbrand ang kumukuha sa depensa kay The Beast. Ginawa na dati ni ex-Coach Siot Tanquincen ang ganitong sistema with 3 guards playing together pero tignan natin nangyari sa team natin, laging di pumapasok sa Finals o kahit sa Semis man lang. Ini-exploit ito ng mga kalabang team to use a taller frontline to dominate the battle of the boards at para sa small forward position eh may nakikitang mismatch especially pag nasa depensa ang Ginebra.

we lost in the finals, but nevertheless heads up! The run we made is already a achievement.. biruin mo last place tapos nakapasok ng finals.. We overcame 2 twice to beat disadvantage and won those series... we just continue supporting our team.. and let our battlecry be heard loud and clear...

"GINEBRA, GINEBRA, GINEBRA, GINEBRA!!"

Good point sir. Actually,I'm not a fan of Ginebra,pero I like LA Tenorio. I like his point guard skills since HS days sa beda. Mark Cagioua needs the ball,so is LA. Mas maganda yung flow ng opensa ng ginebra kapag wala si mark(ROS series,kitang kita yung paglead ni LA).
I believe they got lucky sa injuries kaya nakalusot sa TNT. And yes,urbiztondo is a high risk,low reward player.
Im not an analyst,but for ginebra to be effective,they need Mark off the ball. And to be a REAL championship caliber team,they need a bigman. Jay Washington perhaps?
Pero maganda yung nangyari sa Ginebra,maganda yung storya nila this conference. But still a mismatch sa Finals. Kudos sa Ginebra for fighting hard.

Ginebra eyes improved Line-up . . .



Barangay Ginebra San Miguel is looking to improve its lineup - particularly its frontline unit - for the next conference, and the Kings'
are hoping to add a solid post
player, something the team lacked in the previous Commissioner's Cup when it lost in the finals.

Robert Non, the league's chairman who represents the team to the PBA Board of Governors, said yesterday that they are looking to
that direction and they are hoping something will materialize this nearly three-month break of the PBA.

"Hopefully we can add a bigman, we don't have that," said Non.

"The bigman we have now are Billy Mamaril, who is coming off a wrist injury, and Yousef Taha, a newcomer. (Import) Vernon Macklin was the center for Ginebra in the Commissioner's Cup, and he
will not be around next conference," Non added.

The official of Ginebra did not
mention who they are targeting, although recently the team tried to reach a deal to obtain high-leaper Japeth Aguilar from Globalport, which nearly happened at the trade deadline going to the playoffs.

The proposed deal at that time was a package of Aguilar and Willie Miller - who previously had a stint with the popular ball club - going
to Ginebra while Globalport will get Elmer Espiritu, Rob Labagala and the 6-foot-8 Taha.

League insiders said that the Kings are still hot in getting the 6-foot-9 Aguilar, who was shipped to Globalport from Talk 'N Text for 6- foot-7 center Rabah Al-Hussaini.
Aguilar's father - Peter - once
suited up for Ginebra.

The lack of a legitimate center was exposed during the Finals of the Commissioner's Cup, where the Kings were swept by the Alaska Aces in their best-of-five finals series. Barangay Ginebra had no
answer to the "Twin Towers" of 6- foot-7 Sonny Thoss and 6-foot-8 import Robert Dozier.

Dozier bagged the Bobby Parks Best Import award while Thoss was named the PBA Press Corps Finals MVP.

Despite the setback, Non said he still commends the players and the coaching staff led by mentor Alfrancis Chua, who he gave a passing grade for guiding the team back to the Finals in his very first conference as Ginebra head coach.

Ginebra, according to Chua, will take a much-needed rest for the next three weeks and the Kings will resume practice session in mid- July. The last conference - Governors' Cup - is scheduled August 14 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The Kings are eyeing former
University of San Francisco
stalwart and Saigon Heat player in the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) Dior Lowhorn as their import next conference, where the teams are allowed to have reinforcements not
taller that 6-foot-5 . . .
