UE Red Warriors, Champions? ext_104153 July 8 2008, 08:34:49 UTC

pao, ur one i'd trust my life on when it comes to analyzing basketball, but the UE Red Warriors as champions? the same team that has found a way to lose the biggest games that matter? the same team that lost to la salle in the finals after going unbeaten in the elims? based on my experience, chokers ang UE...

well..maybe they are due for a breakthrough season after all those years of heartbreaking finishes..

i think la salle and ateneo are the favorites this year..

that said, go uste (a darkhorse) pa din....!

Exactly. Dahil sa sobrang dami ng sablay nila, siguro naman matututo na sila ngayong season. UE has an intact line-up, which I believe is one of the most important factors in basketball. Hindi mo pa rin matatawaran ang chemistry. The Warriors have that. Natalo lang sila last year dahil kulang sa poise at composure. Sa tingin ko, hindi na 'yun magiging problema ngayon.

Pero siyempre, mas gusto ko pa rin kung UST ang magcha-champion. Gusto ko lang maging mas objective since dalawang taon na rin tayong graduate sa college. Hehe.

Pagdebatehan nyo na lang yan habang naonood tayo ng live para mas masaya. Hehehe. Subukan naten yung malakas kalaban nila para exciting. Tsaka sino ga pala yung sinasabi nialng magaling na rookie ng Uste na na-injure? Anong posisyon nun?

Tama. Dapat mag-viewing party tayo. Kahit Sunday dahil 'yun lang ang libre nating araw. Medyo dehado talaga ang UST ngayong season.
Si Clark Bautista. Pero hindi siya injured. Siguro slow break-in lang ang gagawin sa kanya ni Pido (sana ganun nga). Magaling 'yun. Napanood ko na siya nung high school pa lang siya sa Benedictine.

Sino ka?

I don't know if you're completely familiar with season predictions, but the term "players to watch" doesn't necessarily mean that they are the star players of the team. It means they are the players who will either have a breakout season or a player who will surprise everyone. "Players to watch" means the players you should also keep an eye on aside from the Jervy Cruz's or the Dylan Ababous. Kung mapapansin mo wala masyadong star players sa lahat ng players to watch ko.

So far, sa tingin ko tama naman ako sa pag-predict na si Canlas at Bautista ang players to watch para sa UST this season. Canlas is averaging a career-high 9.3 PPG while Bautista is making a case for the Rookie of the Year award (15.o PPG and 3.0 APG in the last two games).
