he struggled mainly coz he wouldn't be able to chase down a snail if it stood outside the 3 point line. he's footwork and quickness inside the paint is good but outside of it he is a liability. ros is a matchup nightmare to petron since their bigs can all hit outside shots. let's see how the bgk-ros tiff will play out this sunday...now that should be a good, close fight.

Petron should make some necessary adjustment to cover junmar's perimeter defense.
these athletic forwards (arwind,lutz,washington) needs to drive towards these bigs who will shoot from downtown.
 
Thoughts on tonight's games?

I think Meralco can upset TNT.

I like the Alaska lineup too. But can they beat a complete and healthy SMC Mixers squad?

Fajardo needs to improve his defense especially against Centers that can shoot from the perimeter.

Petron first asked JF to guard Belga and JR.. then when both scored on rainbow area, they switched JF to Larry and Jervy
 
Is Fajardo being groomed as the next dominant center.. not next Jerry Codinera?..

It was just his first game and he was just feeling his way in. Erick Menk struggled big time in his first 2 games but scored 40+ and 30+ in his next few games. The same story with Sonny Alvarado and Danny Seigle in their first games. It might take him longer but for sure he'll be a dominant center tomorrow.

Let's assume this tweet of Badua is reliable...

The apparent cager he's referring to is "CAPTAIN HOOK" himself, Mark Cardona. He obviously won't come cheap, so a team willing to get Cardona's services would really need to part with someone of equal value.

Air 21 is the most likely team willing to get Cardona. Another team that would probably gamble on him would be Global Port, especially since Mikee Romero is a La Sallian himself. If Global gets Cardona's services, the most likely player they'll be giving up would be Gary David. That would be logical, considering that Ryan Gregorio would want David in his lineup.

On the other hand, Franz Pumaren should equally be interested with Cardona. The Pumarens are probably the most logical to handle someone like Cardona because of the patriarchal relationship with Manong Derrick. The question though is - who can the Express give in return? I don't know if the Express still has available first round picks for 2014 (they don't have 2013 anymore) and even if they do have that, I don't know if Meralco is willing to wait for two years. So they probably would get one from the existing roster. Their most marketable players are Canaleta, Wilson, Taha and Baclao.

Hence, even if the Express may be the most interested, they probably won't be able to give what the Bolts want. A David-Cardona trade though appears a fair trade for both parties.
 
After China stint, agent looking to bring Tracy McGrady to PBA

Don’t look now, but Tracy McGrady might have a pit stop as import in the PBA.

Local agent Sheryl Reyes has a partnership with Wasserman Media Group, the agency that represents McGrady.

According to Reyes, McGrady will arrive in China in the third week of October to play for the Qingdao DoubleStar Eagles in the Chinese Basketball Association.

The CBA season will end just as the PBA Commissioner’s Cup finals starts. The local league’s second conference imposes no height limits on imports, making McGrady, whom the NBA lists at 6-foot-8, eligible to play.

“Several people told me we can’t bring McGrady to China, now it has become possible,” Reyes wrote in a text message to InterAKTV. She said she’s exploring options for McGrady in the Philippines.

“My next agenda is to bring him in the PBA as a replacement import just like what I did with those ex-NBA players last season.”


McGrady is a two-time NBA scoring champion, seven-time All-NBA team member, and seven-time NBA All-Star. But he has been plagued by the effects of injuries over the past three seasons, averaging a career-low 5.3 points in 16 minutes per game last year with the Atlanta Hawks.

Last season, Reyes helped former NBA first round picks DerMarr Johnson, Donelle Harvey, and Rodney White get deals in the PBA during the Commissioner’s Cup.

Johnson and White played for the Barako Bull Energy while Harvey helped the Talk ‘N Text Tropang Texters reach the Commmissioner’s Cup finals.

Reyes is also exploring the possibility for another former NBA first-rounder, former New York Knick Renaldo Balkman, in the PBA

Balkman was picked ahead of Rajon Rondo of the Boston Celtics in 2006.
