Bounce Back Ginebra!!

Bounce Back Ginebra!!

NSD Forever

This is the battle cry of millions of the Ginebra fans after witnessing the 3 games losing skid of the team. Of course, the team must get back on the winning mode if they still want to be treated as a title contender. After a 2 -0 start, wins from Global Port and RoS, the team lost its last 3 outings versus Meralco, Red Bull and to Petron.

 Is there something wrong in this team?

Yes, one of these is the chemistry of their new players to the old ones. LA is new, so are the two rookies . It cannot be avoided that there will be mistakes along the way, lots of TOs that kill the chances to win a game. The team is now executing a run-and gun system, but somehow, the team is losing gas or their opponents are able to neutralize their system.

Bounce Back Ginebra is the battle cry!

Why?

The team does not have a legit center. Big Mama can play the 5 position, but he is not a dominant force inside the paint. Kerby is not a natural center and it shows that he is not comfortable playing this position. The team needs a center but of course, this will be done through trades which means, there will be players who will left the team after Villanueva, Wilson, and KG. Besides, trading will also affect their chemistry since new player means another adjustment.

LA is still adjusting, but for how long?

Ginebra is loaded of great players...MC47, JJ13, LA, Kerby, Ababou, PRM,,Maliksi, Cortez, Hatfield..all of these players can score and hustle inside the court. Their two rookies are full of hustle and intensity plus they too, can also score. The bench of the Ginebra is also regarded as one of the deepest in the PBA, 'kahit sino ipasuk mo, me potential na gumawa.'

Then, bakit 3 games losing skid na?

There are many reasons behind the losing skid of this team, if you will ask the fans, for sure, each of them has their respective input, comments and suggestions. But for some reasons, these things do not matter unless the team play as one unit. They need to play good defense until the final buzzer. Share the ball and less one on one plays. Pass the ball to your guard and let him do his stuffs, and last, the coaching staff must utilize each player potential by giving him enough time and confidence.

I am not a coach and I have no plans to be one, but just like any ordinary fans out there, I am  concern with my fave team. Call me bias but I do not care, all I want is that Ginebra bounce back and prove all their detractors wrong..

Ginebra..NSD...Bounce Back Now!!!!
