He looks so reckless. I have not seen anyone like him who tries so hard on isolation with fancy dribbles since Romeo's prime. Bad thing is he is not that good as someone who was called once as the golden boy.

He is so one dimensional that when his offense does not work anymore, he would be just on a cardio game.

That KBL stint really made him look good nonetheless. Although now I understand why he did not last long with his BLeague team.

Also Holt is so under utilized, this is the result when the team is so loaded that the coach don't know which player to rely on anymore.

Same goes to Tamayo, he didn't shine in B league.. that shows B league is much higher level than KBL.. KBL might higher than PBA level but I think it's a closer level than level of B league and the PBA comparison.. remember Meralco even beat KCC, teams like UP and LaSalle beating some KBL teams.. so I don't buy what Tamayo or KQ doing well in KBL because it's like they are also playing in PBA level...
 
Can Ginebra replace their import in this finals in case? Is that allowed? I remember Bay area changing imports in the finals series but that was because both imports already in their official line up.. Ginebra didn't have replacement import in their official line up release before the playoffs.. it will be allowed to change imports in case brownlee can't play the rest of the series due to injury? I think finger injury can still playable but you can't perform that way in a higher level.. Troy did play before in the finals despite finger injury when he was in TNT facing Magnolia in the finals before after he and Jackson Corpuz collide in unfortunate accident...
 
They can have a replacement import, but with only a day in between games, it would be logistically impossible to fly in an import and take care of necessary paper work. I think Ginebra will just play it All Filipino all throughout the series (which would most likely end in Game 5) especially with Tim Cone’s preference for team chemistry.

But if they choose to just get an import for the sake of it, then they can tap Ange Kouame. He could probably relieve Japeth who’s been aweful whenever he is inside the court.

Any bigs on the draft like Tiongson, Poli, or Balungay would have good results over RJ's doing right now.

They already have Scottie, Mav, Holt, and the other rookie guy from Ateneo, what is the purpose of getting another ball dominant guy?

Holt has turned to a 3 and D guy they definitely need him to contain RHJ, Mav to be quite frank is unplayable against Ginebra and is just relegated as a shooter, Scotty is scotty no natural playmaking instincts but gets by through being relentless.. sometimes.

Id say Cone probably wont pick Poli since he seems headless in NLEX right now but they can definitely draft Balunggay. Ideally they would've drafted Balunggay and picked up Heading in free agency since they desperately need a big man (japeth is woeful at this point) and an actual playmaker since their offense looks very rough without JB

They could pick Caelan Tiongson by the way.. I was thinking either Tiongson or Ballungay for them than RJ , My mock draft was RJ should be atleast 5th pick by Northport, honestly speaking Northport could have better place for RJ since they badly need quality PG for them...Tiongson will be a good fit for Ginebra since he's a versatile forward.. Holt can play his natural role in his career.. Holt was projected to be Mikey Williams clone career but was restricted now as Don trollano path career.. Holt is not a 3 and D player, he is a scoring combo guard...

Well, Ginebra has the money to sent quickly replacement for JB.. they can do that by the way, but yes, knowing tim cone, he will not take that risk.. they will get new import and need to know each other first, it's impossible in this later part of the series.. they can't even know if they will get an import if he's good or not.. Lastly, triangle system needed months to learn the system.. baka Mamaya topakin pa..
 
Any inside info re: JB?

Is it dislocated/fractured? Seems like no official update yet on him.

Hope he gets well soon.

That is the difference between PBA and KBL players. PBA has guards that can defend on a one-on-one basis while KBL is more of team defence. RJ was good because he was able to breakdown his KBL opponent and if they collapse on him, he can pass to open teammates. In PBA, they take pride on one-on-one defence like TNT.

Maybe..because there is no update. And the team/league dr cant put it back last night.

Maybe he needed surgery.

Get well soon.

I hope ginebra should not force it.. they have options to change imports BTW!! We badly needed JB for Fiba Asia cup.. they should not be selfish.. if they force it, the situation will be maybe worse than we thought...
 
From naveen

Barangay Ginebra head coach Tim Cone said they thought of playing Angelo Kouame as their import today when it looked like Brownlee couldn’t play.

Series tied 2-2. Rhj looked tired today
Click to expand...

yeah this TNT team lives off on RHJ, though despite rhj playing less than stellar they sorta kept within distance of Ginebra. I still think this is TNT's to lose, but this series is definitely alot harder than the last finals for TNT.
 
No offense for tnt in the last 5 mins
Rhj pogoy nambatac missing good shots.

Rhj looks tired or checked already. Is ramadan a factor?
 
RJ just checked in with 30 secs left then proceeded to turn the ball over right away. Never change man, what a reckless player he is. Really.
