UAAP Season 76

[vinj]

Sanay kasi tao na to jump on the bandwagon, esp. if its winning. Besides ngayon everybody is a basketball expert.

Hahaha... so true. Everyone is an expert in hindsight (how they should have defended someone in the last game, dapt di inalis si ganito, etc.), without realizing how hard it is to prepare campaign, each particular game, and each particular player on the opposing team in that game. Lagyan mo pa ng pagaaral.

mga atenista, sino may gusto niyo manalo dlsu o ust?

pagnanalo dlsu may habol yata sa twice to beat adv, kaya sana manalo kami hehehe

Basta, gusto manalo yung at the end of it all, Ateneo yung panalo. :grin;

Eitherway, i think DLSU will be going against FEU in the final 4. It's just a matter of whp has the twice to beat advantage between the two.

And yes, Ray Ray Parks deserves a ring. He's worthy of the MVP. Romeo is a scoring machine, but MVP? Nah!

Highest points ng si Romeo sa career in two consecutive games... against the two weakest teams in the league (Adamson and UP). Langya kulang nalang patay na yung ilaw sa Araneta or MOA Arena, shoot pa rin ng shoot. And being the PG, his role is to create for his teammates...

ayos, mukhang matatalo na uste. ung twin towers ng dlsu, no 2nd chance opportunity to get rebounds for the tigers.

[chrismarte]

Kala ko magigng dikit sa end game biglang kumalas nanaman ang DLSU

64-57 DLSU less than 2mins pa

[Retz]

Panalo na dlsu!!

Your turn, Ateneo!

Hoping for a UST win next week. Last chance!

Vinj,

Exactly why he can't be MVP. His role is to make the plays and share the ball.

These 2 two teams are too friendly with each other. Teng bros. when defending each other, the one defending's feet are like cemented to the floor, let the other shoot without any semblance of a challenge. Kinda boring game.

[IMm29]

Well, with the final four door ajar for Ateneo at this point, if they barge in and win it all, hats off to them for threading the needle.

Not something I'd want nor cherish, but credit where it is due.

may player votes pa ba sa p[agpili ng MVP like sa PBA? or puro stats lang tulad nang inter barangay?

I think its all stats, no player and media votes.

^ pag ganyan alam na kung sino. Pero bwakaw talaga yun eh.

di ako Romeo fanboi ha

Guys, ano ba talaga si Terrence Romeo? Is he a scorer or is he just bwakaw?

Since last year's UAAP tournament, even when he played for Cebuana Lhuiller and Big Chill in the PBA D-League, FEU's Terrence Romeo has been tagged as bwakaw. But I really want to ask, "Is Terrence Romeo really bwakaw?

I asked people on Twitter to name players who are bwakaw. Terrence’s name came up, of course. They also mentioned other guys like Cardona and Silungan. Nico Salva, on the other hand, tweeted, "ako." Nice one...Bro.

Even if people have different opinions on what makes a player bwakaw, they can agree on one crucial requirement for bwakawism: a bwakaw has to yank up a lot of shots. The more the merrier.

I will admit it. A couple of years back, maybe I thought Terrence was bwakaw. Surely, I wasn't alone in thinking that way. But, the way I look at Terrence has totally changed this year. Yes, iba na.

I no longer look at Terrence as just bwakaw. I now see him as a scorer, maybe even a super scorer.

Why?

Because Terrence can score a barrage of points in heavy traffic. Because when he scores, you nod your head and ask the person next to you, “Paano niya na shoot yun?” He also creates for himself and breaks defenders down with his dribbling skills. I believe every scorer or super scorer, here in the Philippines or in the NBA, is like that. Just like Jordan. Just like Kobe. Relax, I'm not putting Terrence in the same level as Jordan or Kobe. But before Jordan and Kobe were accepted as great players, they had to go through the bwakaw stage. To be a scorer, you have to touch the ball a lot of times, make a lot of moves, and take a lot of shots.

I hate to say this because I was a team oriented player who didn't care if I scored so long as my team won, but if you really want to make it to the next level, you have to score a lot of points. Syempre there are exceptions. Yet the truth is: your chances of making it to the next level improve if you are a scorer.

Therefore, I believe Terrence Romeo will be in the PBA soon because he is an elite scorer. Most of the PBA players now, even the ones who reinvented themselves into great defenders or role players, were originally scorers.

People hate on Terrence because he might only make 4 baskets out of 16 or 20 attempts in one game. Then, they love him the next game when he drops 30-plus points. Every player has off days. Sometimes he makes bad decisions. Not everyone loves his game. When he commits a crucial miscue at the end of a close game, people will quickly joke about his being bwakaw on Twitter.

Again, I also used to think that way. But not anymore. He is clearly a super scorer who has the right to have the ball in his hands when the game is on the line. I have a feeling though, when the day comes, and he makes it to the PBA - and I think he will - Terrence Romeo will have the last laugh. BA

Maganda itong laro sa Wednesday

Go Ateneo!

OBF!

If they don't base it on stats, nagkakagapangan kasi. And the players from smaller schools won't have any chance.

I have a feeling next year you'll see a more offensive minded kiefer, kasi 2 years to go na lang to earn an MVP to cap great Uaap career.

Eh kaso nga, you encourage naman ballhogs. Si parks nga for the last two years, kahit garbage time na, nasa loob pa rin to pad his stats. Dapat may ibang factors din cguro na dapat iconsider, like kung nakapasok ba yung team niya sa f4 or yung win-loss record ng team niya. Or yung intangibles na dala niya sa team. First mvp ni parks d nga nakapasok sa f4 ang nu. Opinion ko lang yan ha.

aga ng best of 3 nang DLSU-FEU. Makikita leadership ni RR.

Yup, it's Ateneo's move. If they eff it up on Wednesday, then that is sweet revenge for UST (booting out Ateneo from the Final 4 for the first time in many, many years).

*choosing the MVP, it's all stats. That's why a lot of people were questioning the process before because when Parks won one of his MVP plums, NU did not even make it into the final 4 that time i think. Parang may mali diba? Or perhaps they should also consider team standings at the end of the season to add into the MVP points system.

sana wag sayangin ng admu ang chance for the final slot

The package it there, the question is on the delivery

[Sweetlucious]

With regards to the MVP, sure it will make contenders to be ballhogs, but if you base it on win-lose records then players who belong on schools that are weak on recruitment no chance on bagging the award. The blog posted above was spot on, every single player who wants to elevate to next level was once a ballhog, you can't attract the attention for being passive. Case in point go to any under-11 basketball tourney, the willing to shoot(ballhogs) are the ones you'll likely to see in the juniors team.
