Ginebra won! they are now 1-0 to start the season! now they are now 2-0! 3-0! 4-0! 4-1.. 5-1! and 6-1! Wait there's something wrong? Ginebra is having a 6-1 record in the Philippine cup!? I never seen this kind of record for a long time (I really don't know when)

In the past we are always having a problem on big men because we are lacking of big men. Actually before the governor's cup Last season, Billy mamaril is the tallest member of the team

and then it happened..

Ginebra revamped their lineup.. 

First by acquiring Japeth aguilar (From GlobalPort) for Yousef Taha, Elmer Espiritu and a First round pick

they traded Rob labagala to Barako Bull for the 5'6 Eman Monfort

they got Greg Slaughter (1st Round pick) at the 2014 PBA Annual Draft pick

they traded Willie Wilson and Rico Maierhofer to barako bull for a 4th round pick which they used to choose James Forrester. 

Then the Surprise trade between Kerby Raymundo for Jay-R reyes (From Meralco)

After they revamped the team, the fans expectations went high especially with the acquisition of Greg Slaughter, now Japeth won't be playing the 5 spot instead he will move to the 4 spot where he is Comfortable the most. Then they expect Monfort and Forrester to be a spark plug for the Ginebra bench. As for Jay-R reyes, at first fans were disappointed with the trade because why would Ginebra trade a Kerby Raymundo for some Jay-R reyes which is unknown in Meralco bolts?

But the expectation didn't fail. Greg slaughter Grabbing those rebounds, Japeth Aguilar is just being Japeth, Monfort and Forrester contributed in small ways And Jay-R suprised the fans byis showing his hustle on the court which the fans loved.

Ginebra cruised into a 4-winning streak but then defeated by a Hugnatan-less Meralco bolts but then again cruised into 2-winning streak after the loss.

To be honest I'm not used on seeing Ginebra in this standing but I'm happy that my or our expectations did not fail at least for now. But All I can hope is that we can still continue to show our prowess and hoping to get that chip' and end the title drought this season.
