Originally posted by IPC View PostIf the trade is approved, where would Bulanadi fit in an SMB rotation that already has CJ Perez, Jericho Cruz, Marcio Lassiter, and Robbie Herndon as part of their 2/3 rotation? Not to mention the import, who's likely a 3.

Originally posted by Rds View PostI haven't liked SMB's role player moves in a while. I don't count guys like Jericho Cruz as one as they are complete players who would be starters on another team. But they have been disappointing in their moves for the designated shooter role. Von Pessumal slowly became unusable for them. Although he is a good shooter he doesn't play good enough defense or can he drive the ball well. All of their shooters, even Zamar who could drive a bit, have either defense or driving abilities. Bulanadi doesn't seem to be a good defender nor is he a particularly good driver. What they actually need is size on the wings. Marcio is still their longest wing but he has lost a step in defense. Perez is their best perimeter defender but he is not long enough to defend the bigger wings or even wing imports. A guy like Tyrus Hill would have been a better move. But I don't have any expectations with Coach Leo. For the most part he has not been the creative team builder in his SMB stint.Never look too far ahead. You might stumble on a block right in front of you.

With Nicholson playing less than a hundred percent, who takes on the scoring cudgels. BAD is able to make a series out of this because Nicholson is literally a constant—he barely takes a breather. I don’t think he’s good for 36 minutes for game 4, let alone 40.Never look too far ahead. You might stumble on a block right in front of you.

I don’t know with you guys but the game was just ok. Yes there are a few questionable calls but where have you seen a game without it right? I’ll just comment in terms of eye test.. during the final stretch of the game, despite a bad shooting night for ginebra, you could see their determination and will to win the game ESPECIALLY BROWNLEE!!! That 4th quarter performance of brownlee was incredible. And the crowd was really into the heat of the moment for ginebra and sadly BAD didn’t respond well plus the untimely injury to nicholson. Ganun lang kasimple. I do understand the sentiments of powell and hankley but looking at it, ginebra just gutted out all they can to win the game at the end..

here and there but nothing to decide
the outcome of
the game. BAD couldnt just admit that they struggled under
pressure, they couldnt make any shots when they needed them. And taking 40 plus 3pt shots and expecting fouls and FTs lol. I hope we win this series. Personally its one of the most important titles we could ever have if we can get this thing. Boss Al kaw na bahala lol
