Small talk: Coach siot vs The whole barangay

Barangay Ginebra San Miguel just had their 3rd lossing skid last sunday against the Petron Blaze Boosters and the fans became worried about their favorite team. most of them are blaming the coach of Ginebra; Coach Siot Tangquincen. I've read many comments bashing Coach Siot Especially when they are losing. Most of the comments I read is: "Palitan na ang coach!", "Hindi talaga aasenso ang Ginkings kung si Siot pa rin ang coach". 

But didn't they know that Coach Siot steered Ginebra into 2 consecutive Championship last 2004-2005 conferences? Have they lost confidence to Coach Siot? 

Yes we've given them many chances in the past conferences, but this doesn't mean we should bash Coach Siot whenever we lose. But why is it when we win we are all praises to the whole staff & Players of the Ginebra but when we lose we only blame Coach siot? Is it really Coach Siot's fault? Don't we tend to look at the players fault? 

Yes it's very heartbreaking for our favorite team to lose but this can't give us a reason to bash any member of the team, If you're really a true "Ginking" then you will just have to support the team on everything they have. We can't always wish for a win, of course in basketball there is always one team who losses, no team manage to finish 1 conference without any losses. 

Losing is part of every game, it's just how we fans accept it. Yes I do get frustrated when Ginebra lose but I don't blame Coach Siot or any player I'm just telling myself that they'll bounceback next game and win or lose I'll still support them. This also goes for all PBA fans.

Air21 new season, new flight

If I say Air 21, many would say "That's the underdog in the PBA". But if you would ask me they're not anymore a underdog or a team to be taken granted. This season I can assure you that Air21 will be one of the teams in the PBA who can explode Big! As in really Big! 

With the coming of the new rookies like Yousef Taha,Simon atkins and the coming of the veterans like Wynne Arboleda,KG Canaleta, Rob reyes,Noy Baclao and John Wilson They sure will bring a lot of firepower needed by Coach Franz Pumaren. 

The start of the new season Air21 lost against the Barako Bull Energy Cola but it ended in with a 80-97 score. In their second game they won against the Global port Batang Pier with a 88-81 and in their third game they lost against Rain or Shine, A nail-biter game with a score of 99-98.

WIth these scores it shows that Air21 is not the same Air21 last season who are trailing a huge number of points by their opponents. With the Orchestration of Wynne Arboleda,With the 3-point shooting of RenRen ritualo and John wilson, With the inside presence of Rob Reyes,Noy Baclao and Yousef Taha, With the energy dunks brought by KG Canaleta, how could they be trailling in big numbers now? 

Maybe Coach Franz Pumaren had already found the right combination for his team, and what I think they now only lack in chemistry because it's their first time working for one team (well maybe not for KG and John Wilson who were a former Ginebra San Miguel and also for Rob reyes and Noy Baclao Who were a former Petron Blaze Booster) but maybe once they got a right chemistry I'm sure they'll become explosive in the future and maybe one day they will fly again towards the championship like the Air21 in the past 2008 Fiesta Conference.

JunMar Fajardo scrutinized rookie this year?

Coming from being the 1st overall pick of the PBA this season. JunMar Fajardo sure brings up a spotlight of his own. Before the PBA draft begins many said that Fajardo will be a huge impact here in the PBA for he have the height of a center and the athleticism and skills of a basketball player. And by those reports, PBA fans became more excited for the upcoming season of the PBA. 

During the off-season Fajardo did well on their games against other teams. Also Dorian Pena said that he can make it to the NBA. Many teams are also observing him for they said that he is a threat in the inside paint. So we can say that this JunMar "The Kraken" Fajardo will be a key weapon of the Petron Blaze Boosters in this season 38th of the PBA.

Petron had their First game against Rain or Shine Last wednesday. It is also the Debut of JunMar Fajardo on the PBA. on that game Petron lost their first game against the 'Physical' Rain or Shine. Also Fajardo got his first scar in the PBA brought by the rebound play where Fajardo were entangled between two Rain or shine players. After the game, Fajardo became the center of the attention for the fans and also for some media. Some of the fans say that he did not play well on his first game, He might be a letdown for his team and also the reports about him were wrong. But as Assistant Coach Rajko Toroman said "Fajardo can't learn all things overnight"

So whether you are impressed or not on his debut game, I'm sure in the future games he can show to his fans that he is worthy to be the number 1 over all pick of this season. Let us just wait, Coach Rajko is right A player cannot learn all things at one night, He needs more time to build a chemistry to himself and to his team. For me JunMar "The Kraken" Fajardo will sure be the most scrutinized Rookie this 38th season of the PBA.
