Okay game na, etong mga sasabihin ko eh opinyon ko lang naman sa mga nangyayari. Wala akong sinisisi oh anu man, pero sa tingin ko eh meron din naman akong mga kabarangay na pareho ang aming mga sentimyento.

Para sa akin, walang mali sa ginagawa ni Mark "The Spark" Caguioa sa mga pagpuna niya sa Twin Towers ng Ginebra. Bilang isang leader isang magandang ehemplo ang pinapakita niya sa pagpuna ng kakulangan ng kanyang mga kakampi.

Pero isang bagay lang ang gusto kong ipunto, hindi ba pwede na sa "dugout"o "gym" na lang niya sila punahin? At wag nang ilabas sa media?

Kasi aminin natin, sa mga naglalabasan mga articles, may mga "HATERS" na natutuwa sa mga ganyan( lalo na ang nagreact si Japeth) at  gumagawa ng mga kuro kuro na kesyo nakakasira daw ng team ang ginagawa ni Mark at Japeth.

Pero masisisi ba natin si Japeth at Greg? OO, may mga larong natatalo tayo sa rebound, pero bakit ba tayo natatalo? Alam naman natin na mahilig humabol sa "palpal" sina JA at GS, at pag ganun ang nangyayari may tendency talaga na ang makakakuha ng rebound eh yung bantay ng twin towers ng barangay na humahabol sa palpal.

Sa tingin niyo, ano ang solusyon sa bagay na yun? Hindi na pumalpal sina JA at GS? Syempre hindi, dyan pumapasok ang "Gang Rebounding". Sa bagay na yun, dadami ang rebounds natin at mas dadami ang ball possessions natin.

Tignan natin ang rebounding stats ng iba sa mga players natin.

Caguioa:

2011-2012: 4.76 rebs

2012-2013: 4.51 rebs

This Season: 3.00 rebs

Ellis:

2012-2013: 4.63 rebs

This Season: 3.71 rebs

Baracael:

2012-2013: 2.65 rebs

This Season: 2.29 rebs

Tenorio:

2012-2013: 5.00 rebs

This Season: 5.14 rebs

Sa apat na players natin, si LA lang ang umangat ang rebounding stat, di ko sinasabi na may malaking pagbaba ang 3 pa natin kabarangay pagdating sa rebounding, pero bakit bumaba? Dahil sobrang umasa ba sa Twin Towers?

Kaya kung gusto manalo sa rebounding battle, mag tulong tulong :) Hindi rason na may matangkad sa team nyo, kasi at the end of the day, 5 on 5 pa din ang laro sa PBA :)

Goodvibes lang tayo :) NeversayDie!

2013 PBA MVP: What's Your Take?

We are now again in the time where we will know who deserves to be the most "important" player in the PBA. There are already many debates of the fans of the players about who really deserves the award. Now let us see who are the contenders for this prestigious award.

The image above is the 2012 PBA MVP Mark Caguioa.

The contenders for the MVP plum needs to be included in the TOP 5 of Highest Statistical Point average or a winner of atleast one of the 3 Best Player Award in this season. So far, there are only 2 sure contenders. They are Jayson Castro of Talk n Text (Philippine Cup BPC) and LA Tenorio of Ginebra (Commissioner's Cup BPC).

Based on PBA-Online (http://www.pba-online.net/mvp-race/), the following are the unofficial top 5  players with the highest SPs in the season:

1. Arwind "Spiderman" Santos (Petron Blaze Boosters)

2. Calvin "The Beast" Abueva (Alaska Aces)

3. LA "The Lieutenant" Tenorio (Barangay Ginebra San Miguel) 

4. Mark "The Spark" Caguioa (Barangay Ginebra San Miguel) 

5. Jayson "The Blur" Castro (Talk n Text Tropang Texter)

Knowing the 5 contenders, who do you think deserves the MVP Plum?

Si Caguioa sana ang Manalo

1. Gary David
2. Mark Caguioa
3. Marcio Lassiter
4. Cyrus Baguio
5. LA Tenorio

     Ang limang pangalan na yan ay ang mga kandidato para sa pinakamagaling na Local sa Torneyong ito. Kung ating titignan, iisipin ng nakararami na si Granada Gary David ulit ang mananalo para sa prestihiyosong award na ito.

     Pero kung ako ang tatanungin, iisang pangalan lang ang nasa isip ko na karadapat dapat manalo. Ito'y walang iba kungdi si Kulotski Doodle Mark Caguioa. Hindi dahil siya ang pinakapaboritong manlalaro ko kung bakit siya ang napili ko, napili ko si The Spark dahil sa mga sumusunod na rason:

   1. Sa limang manlalaro, siya lang ang walang kakampi sa listahan. Paano magigig "pinaka MAGALING" kung dala-dalawa kayo sa listahan?

   2. Ito ang pinaka magandang torneyo ni MC47 pagdating sa rebounding, patunay na mas nagiging all-around player siya.

   3. Siya ang numero unong "scoring option" ng team, na naging dahilan kung bakit sila ang pangalawang pinaka magaling na koponan sa eliminasyon.

    4. Nang nadali si MC47 ng injury, kitang kita kung paano namroblema ang Gin Kings sa pag iskor.

    5. Sa 5 manlalaro, ang koponan ni Caguioa ang nakatapos ng mas mataas na posisyon(Ikatlong Pwesto).

I admit, I'm a MARK CAGUIOA fan ;)

Just saw this pic in facebook. And SERIOUSLY I like this picture! The analogy of this picture is if we combine MJ23 and KB24, the result will be MC47! And as a Ginebra Fan, I'm definitely agree with this analogy!

We've seen the transformation of a young and aggressive Mark Caguioa during the early 2000's, and that Caguioa is a fierce guy. His crossover move can really kill his defender. During his prime, Caguioa showed the PBA fans on how to be a real competitor in the court. Yes his arrogant inside the court, but as what Filipinos say,, "MAY PAGMAMAYABANG NAMAN EH".  Who can forget about his ankle breaker against Jun Marzan of Shell?!  How about the CA-GUI-OA chant against Air21?!

After he got injured in 2008, and having his rehab on the year 2009, majority of PBA community thought (definitely not me) that he will fade away like other superstar in the PBA. But MC47 proved them wrong, YES his crossover is not the same as 2002, but his shooting ability is much improve. Also, his playmaking ability and his leadership is really admirable.  He became the leader of the team.

This is why MC47 will definitely be part of the next batch of 25 greatest players of the league, Yes, he doesn't have that MVP Plum in his name, but his contribution to the game says a lot. More importantly, His LOVE to the fans is the best attitude of this guy.
