PBA PREVIEW PART 2

Last Thursday, We discussed 5 teams (Aces, Bulls, Bolts, Clickers and Texters) chances in this All Filipino Cup which will start tomorrow(Oct.2,2011). Today we will discuss the other 5 teams. Let us start

• BMEG LLAMADOS
• Key Returnees: James Yap, Joe Devance, Marc Pingris, Kerby Raymundo ( The team to watch. Expect the team to struggle in the start of the conference after being new to their New offense, but IF they get the Triangle Offense in time during play offs, then definitely they are best team that can challenge the defending ALL FILIPINO Champion.)
• Key Loss: NA ( What a preseason movements from this team. )
• Key Acquisitions: Tim Cone, Mark Barroca, Johnny Abbarientos  ( The renaissance of the Grandslam Aces? It was a great acquisition for the Llamados, Having Tim Cone as their new coach will really give James Yap more chances in Scoring. Andy Barroca as their new PG? and with Johnny A as Andy's new mentor? Man, the triangle offense of the Llamados is in good hands.)
• Big Question: How will the Llamados reacts to the TRIANGLE?
• Prediction: If the Triangle will work, the team is a shoo-in for the Final 4.

PBA PREVIEW PART 1

THE 37TH SEASON of the Philippine Basketball Association will start this Sunday (October 2, 2011). This will be an exciting season for the basketball fans because of some notable players/coaches movements. Similarly, the much-awaited Smart Gilas players who recently gave our country a 4th place finish will finally show their stuff in the professional level. Let us now discuss the the first group of teams. 

• ALASKA ACES
• Key Returnees: LA Tenorio, Cyrus Baguio, and Sonny Thoss ( The Big three of the Aces are expected to lead their team to the championship level of competition. With the loss of Coach Tim Cone, this players must initiate to motivate their teammates.)
• Key Loss: Tim Cone ( No explanation needed, 22 years of leadership to the Aces is no joke. But no worries for the fans of the Aces, Coach Joel Banal is a good choice to change Coach Cone.)
• Key Acquisitions: Marnel Baracael, Eric Salamat ( With the aging Tony DelaCruz, a versatile guy like Marnel will be a good predecessor. Meanwhile, adding former Eagle Eric Salamat will stabilize the troubled guard position of the Aces.)
• Big Question: What will happpen to Mark Borboran?
• Prediction: Aces will play around 5th-7th position in the elimination round, but with the cohesion of the team, we will see a better aces come play off time.
