MIGHTY MIGHTY TIGERS?

Sep 03, 2008 09:19


The UAAP season is now over for UST. The Growling Tigers kissed their Final Four hopes goodbye last Sunday after bowing to the UE Red Warriors in another nail-biting finish. UST has now lost three of its last four games. Make those three heartbreaking losses. Three important games. Three endgame decisions. Three harrowing defeats.

It seems like the ( Read more... )

eloquently written my friend. maybe you should start considering finding more avenues (like guest writing in magazines, online or not) by which you could popularize your sports commentary, which clearly deserves a much wider audience reach

yes, ust definitely underachieved this year...actually, to say that they underachieved is even an understatement pa nga.. this was a heartbreaking season, and a lot of it had to do with the tigers shooting themselves in the foot with bonehead plays, forced shots, and porous defense ( ... )

What I meant with Ababou is that he is the biggest goat among the players. Ilang beses siyang nagpatalo. Considering fourth year na siya, dapat mas mataas na ang basketball IQ niya. Kaso olats nga. Kung tutuusin, wala naman talagang kayang bumantay sa kanya maliban na lang siguro kay Maierhofer. Kaso 'di pa rin niya ginamit ng maayos 'yung advantage niya.

Siyempre, si Pido pa rin talaga ang dapat ituro. Sabi ko nga, kulang talaga siya sa X and Os. Puro motivation lang. Wala siyang ma-design na play o kahit defense set-up man lang kapag crucial na. 'Di talaga siya marunong magbasa ng game situations.

Standby lang kayo sa text ko. Inom tayo this week. Pero ambagan ah. Hehe.

rumor has it na kukunin na raw si alfrancis chua as ust head coach next season. nasagap ko lang sa pagtambay sa varsi.

with regard to jervy's defense, i think he's just following the coaching staff's orders to avoid fouls, just as what the entire ust team did when a lasalle guard drove coast-to-coast in that fateful game. i remember during ust's championship run 2 years ago, jervy was among the league-leading players in fouls. i think he can play hard, honest defense, but the coaching staff won't allow him to.

pwede mo ring i-attest yung favoritism ni pido kay fortuna at bautista against, from what i've been seeing, a hardworking glue guy like camus. sama mo na rin diyan yung pag degenerate ni mark canlas, the player who was unconscious against intal in the finals.

inuman nalang..

Wala naman sigurong coach na ayaw ng depensa. Hindi naman siguro pinipiglan si Jervy na dumepensa. Kulang talaga siya sa sipag. Makikita mo sa mga laro na hindi siya humaharang kapag may sumaksak para mang-intimidate man lang.

No choice na rin si Pido kila Bautista at Fortuna e. Wala nang papalit kay Cuan. Hindi naman point guard si Camus kaya siguro hindi niya masyado binibigyan ng heavy minutes. Ok sana si Canlas e. Nabulok lang bigla nung second round.

Alfrancis? 'Wag na 'yun. I-promote na lang nila si Beaujing Acot.

UST also jacks up a lot of threes. Also, notice how they don't pass the ball to Jervy that much
