Question: Does the PBA have lousy referees?
- If you think FIBA referees are generally lousy, then for sure you'd answer "yes". PBA refs are like FIBA refs; when they're in the mood to call a foul for touching jerseys, they'd call a foul. Same way when they're not in a mood to call a foul to a 12 to six elbow on the no-charge zone, they wouldn't whistle. A player wouldn't know what those refs had for lunch or what did their wives told them before going to work that would affect their perspective on the game. Like my many several tweets during the SE Live Tweets, we just don't get the PBA refs sometimes (actually, make that ALL THE TIME).
Question: Were the Barako Bull Energy capable of winning that series?
- There were only three basketball players in that team during that series; Gabe Freeman, Danny Seigle, and Willie Miller. The rest were all aspiring mixed martial artists. If you put three basketball players against... uhm... uh... <whispered to my sidekick "how many basketball players does TNT have?">... <whispered again "just subtract one?">... <finally "okay thanks">... a total roster of basketball players except for one, there is no way you'd win the series. Perhaps the only reason TNT lost those games is one, they didn't pass that fucking basketball to Gilbert Lao, and two, TNT forgot in one game that Danny Seigle has the ability to stop his aging process while he's injured which practically makes him like he's 32-33 years old.
Question: Since tanking is such a big trend in the NBA right now, did Ginebra tanked?
- Did Jackson Vroman tanked? Looks like he did. Go back to the moment were Ginebra was pondering of letting Chris Alexander go or stay. The Kris Aquino of the team (Mark Caguioa) said he wanted Alexander to stay, even though he looked terrible at the start and was working his way to optimum potential as the games go. Imagine if Alexander was with the team and Kris Aquino of Ginebra has that eye injury (Incidentally, the dude that is somehow involved in Caguioa's injury is Kris Aquino's ex-husband James Yap! Does James Yap just wanted to destroy everything Kris Aquino related? My crazy ass mind.), I bet his ass wouldn't itch to get in to the game with one good eye the way he was begging for a miracle to get into this series with Vroman as their import. Those lousy passes and fouls in Games two and four? Hell yeah... tanking, baby!
Question: What do you think of the B-Meg-Talk 'n Text Finals series?
- Talk 'n Text are the same old group of BFFs who do nothing but winning. Same old playing styles; Jimmy and Larry can't do defense, Jason Castro plays like an Olympian, Rich Alvarez plays like he's born to annoy key players, everybody else fills in the needed roles... aaaaaaand Gilbert Lao. Same old playing styles for B-Meg too; Josh still makes stupid decisions, James Yap and PJ Simon will go scoreless together and will explode together, Marc Pingris will eat a lot of 1-UPs so he could die-dive for the ball, everyone else obeying coach Tim Cone... aaaaaaaand the towel dude (Watch a B-Meg game live and check that small dude on the corner of their bench who wackily demonstrate defensive schemes/stance/whatever he wanted to tell the players. He's fun to watch, especially when they're down big and you don't wanna see them mess up more, you'll end up watching him).
Question: With that being said, then this will quite be a coaches' series?
- Coach Chot Reyes and Coach Tim Cone for the Philippine Basketball's Most Bad-ass Coach Heavyweight Title match-up.
Question: With Ginebra Jackson Vroman tanked in the Semis, and now with Petron finally getting Marcio Lassiter...
- Like I said in The Park Games, the only equivalent value of Marcio Lassiter in his team for Petron is Arwind Santos. That is a peso-to-peso deal. Now you have a deal of Celino Cruz-Marcio in exchange for Rabeh-Rey-Lordy. Powerade gave away a full peso and 25 centavos and got in return four 25 centavos, a couple 10 centavos, and a 5 centavo coin (Go figure out their values. I'm not sharing mine. If you're badly interested with my values for them, go follow me and tweet me @sirjhaydelacruz). Put those money in real life situation and chances are you'll lose some of the coins in that 4-2-1 coin combination. Petron wouldn't lose that peso for sure. So at the end of the day, you may have Petron having a full peso in it's pocket while Powerade lost 50 centavos of it down the road (The value maybe coming from Rabeh applying some Midas' Touch on his shooting and torn ACL, or whatever they can squeeze out of Lordy, or......... that's it).
Question: Have you answered any of the question?
