slightly off topic, does anyone remember Bader Abdulla Jassim? (aka Bader Malabes)

looks like Bahrain's Al Manama has found a franchise player in the disgraced ex-Archer. maybe he'll make their NT.

It was 256 years since Malabes can hit a three-point shot. 
Maybe he's saying "take that Tony Atayde!" after making the basket

it wasn't just a three-pointer, it was a game-winning buzzer-beater.
i think he could've played one more year for DLSU. maybe die-hard LaSallista's like Tony Atayde were unfair to Malabes on his game just being so horrible last year... he moved like Mark Caguioa except his shots weren't going in.
at least he's having a ball back in his fatherland. hopefully we'll get to see Smart Gilas vs. Al Manama or RP vs. Bahrain in the future. what a story that could be.

I remember Atayde's regular game blogs constantly making pun of Malabes.
Malabes is useless (one game)
Malabes is making bad executions (next game)
Malabes does not deserve to play for this team (next next game)
LOL

Bader has been totally inconsistent with his threes. If you do remember how Bader shot the lights out against Letran in '06 (FilOil-Flying V Invitationals), you would pretty much be impressed as to how he bombed the Knights during that game. And as time went by, he kinda fluctuated and mellowed down. Maybe it's because he's playing for his dad now as opposed to being under the microscope playing for an elite team wherein basketball is a major sport in the country (and we all know that you're gonna get the ire of the whole Lasallian community when you play sub-par).

In the case of Bader, it is feast or famine. Problem was it was more famine than feast for La Salle.

it wasn't just Malabes. Mangahas and Barua were also disappointing. DLSU isn't used to losing in UAAP men's hoops so it's no surprise the die-hard fans had to be harsh on someone. ADMU had experienced losing seasons before with those Taeneo teams of the 90's so they take losing quite well.
btw, is it me or are those steel fences separating the fans from the playing court? maybe the PBA should try that to avoid another Arboleda-incident.

The problem with the likes of Mangahas and Barua was they were role players from the start and we're still role players when the likes of Casio and Maierhofer left the team.
Mangahas had the potential to become a big-time player but didn't lived up to expectations. He was clanking a lot of outside shots.
Statistically, Barua muffed 16 straight threes at the start of the season before hitting his first one - a game-tying trey that sent the game into OT against UST in the first round.

i don't really buy the role player argument simply because DLSU has had shock troopers that developed into PBA-worthy players.
looking back, it's either Franz Pumaren's system doesn't fit the talents of last year's players... or last year's players weren't talented enough to fit Franz Pumaren's system (or both. so they end up with a scenario where Webb is their best scorer and their young players had to play well for them to win)

too much Jayvee casio and maierhoffer in the previous years for Franz and also lack of exposure in bigtime league pbl did not help for Barua and co. Unlike in previous years that the transition from ritualo to cortez to cardona to yeo and franz rookies was highly heralded last years and they seems the ones who did not deliver

their 1year suspension was also a factor.. they were not able to recruit that time which affected the transition of the players..
