[souljah_boy]

Guys, this is a FORECAST (at sana lang medyo objective tayo mag predict ng mangyayari this season with regard to what the thread-starter mentioned.

[ungga]

letran will get its 17th title in men's basketball

"I am a letranite and i will continue to live my days as one for God, for the fatherland, and for my beloved alma mater letran"

[renvic]

Pero db, swerte *** c Jerome Paterno na nakasama sa M-5 last year. B'coz of the discualification of Leo Najorda last season. The question is, alam b ng thread starter un?!?

[ill_behaviour]

Pero db, swerte *** c Jerome Paterno na nakasama sa M-5 last year. B'coz of the discualification of Leo Najorda last season. The question is, alam b ng thread starter un?!?

For your information, Jerome and Youseff dominated the boards last year. To say it as 'swerte lang' is insulting because he played a hardcore basketball. Check out the stats in NCAA.org for your reference.

Sorry!!! But that is true... *** na *** ang mag check ng stats between Jerome Paterno and Leo Najorda... Cguradong maiintindihan mo *** sinasabi ko.. Ayt?!?

[ill_behaviour]

Najorda played a safe and soft basketball considering that he was taking care of himself in time for the draft and into the PBA.He was considerably taking more outside shots than taking it strong to the basket where he is most lethal. I think you should consider your thinking of the essential aspects of the game before you go and posting remarks of "swerte lang".

[ill_behaviour]

Leo Najorda was MVP for me last season 80. Because he was more hardcore but came 81. He was already looking into the pros that time. softcore didnt even play leadey. It was Red Vicente who took that role and eventually made justice of it. Red is deserving than Leo. And for the contention that najorda as a penalty for his draft application was not included by the panel to the m-5 is assuming.

[renvic]

Did you see the stats?!? And you know how to win an individual awards here in the NCAA?!? They always based on the stats. How about the MVP in season 81? That Jay Sagad won the MVP by 1 statistical pt. over Gabby Espinas. And to think, that the PCU is the no# 2 team in the league.

In case of Najorda and Paterno, statistics shows that Leo Najorda is better than Paterno. Not only in the statistical race, as well as the way they play.

So I said that Paterno is so "lucky" to win a M-5 last year. If Najorda is not discualified in that season. I'm sure that Paterno is not in the list.

Btw, sayo ko *** narinig na may penalty *** k pag nag join k sa PBA draft habang nag lalaro sa NCAA. Where did u read that?!? Share mo naman sakin...

[ill_behaviour]

[B]Pero db, swerte *** c Jerome Paterno na nakasama sa M-5 last year. B'coz of the discualification of Leo Najorda last season. The question is, alam b ng thread starter un?!?[/[B]

Disqualification?
I have been more polite in my term "not included" than yours of "disqualification".



In case of Najorda and Paterno, statistics shows that Leo Najorda is better than Paterno. Not only in the statistical race, as well as the way they play.


In what term that Najorda "as well as the way they play" better than Paterno outside the stats which you are referring to?

[renvic]

Disqualification?

What’s wrong with the word “disqualification”?!? R u ok?!?



In what term that Najorda "as well as the way they play" better than Paterno outside the stats which you are referring to?


Did u watch NCAA?!? If u do. Then you gonna see the difference between this two player. Leo Najorda leads the SSC-r to the final 4 as well as the championship in season 78. Named NCAA MVP, M-5 selection, Finals MVP. Eh si Paterno?!? M-5 na “SINWERTE” *** sya… Based on the last year statistical race, Leo Najorda got the 3rd spot. 2nd is Gabby Espinas and Jay Sagad at the 1st place. Sorry ah, nde ko kc alam kung anong place si Paterno last year eh. *** n *** ang mag decide. Paniwalaan mo ang gusto mong paniwalaan. Mapapahiya k ***.*peace*

[ill_behaviour]

What’s wrong with the word “disqualification”?!? R u ok?!?

I am okay, AAMOF, i am just starting. You mentioned about Najorda's diaqualification last season. Who disqualified whom and for what?


Did u watch NCAA?!? If u do. Then you gonna see the difference between this two player. , M-5 selection, Finals MVP. Eh si Paterno?!? M-5 na “SINWERTE” *** sya… Based on the last year statistical race, Leo Najorda got the 3rd spot. 2nd is Gabby Espinas and Jay Sagad at the 1st place.

Again yes, AAMOF, watched the Whole NCAA season live. Watched the UAAP too, live and PRISAA and CUSA . . .too many to mention. I noticed the difference, the reason i find your "swerte lang" insulting.

I am sure there was this thread here in the NCAA forum about the Gameface hardcore players of 2005. I see no Leo Najorda in that article! No honorable mention even. I have nothing against Najorda. Paterno is more valuable.

Leo Najorda leads the SSC-r to the final 4 as well as the championship in season 78. Named NCAA MVP

His MVP season was years ago before Paterno's Mythical 5 selection. If the topic was his MVP season i would not have argued with you but it is not.

Sorry ah, nde ko kc alam kung anong place si Paterno last year eh. *** n *** ang mag decide. Paniwalaan mo ang gusto mong paniwalaan. Mapapahiya k ***.*peace

Yes, i believe in what i believe in and i know why i do. And to say that "mapapahiya lang ako" is cocky but hilarious. Never in your lifetime.

[tophe_17]

Mapúa-Letran for finals, I hope.

[xybert_22]

Im hoping for MAPUA-letran in the championship.

[roaring_lion]

any team is considered a contender...the question is how and when players will get their act together...most star-studded teams failed to capture a crown because they lack one thing...CHEMISTRY

Winning in the NCAA is probably 60% talent and 40% execution...conditioning is also a question...there are teams that started well and faltered down the stretch...

My Final Four (not in order)

Letran -- remains a strong contender with aban and bautista around...never underestimate the heart of a champion.

San Beda -- has a solid and young line-up...strong in every position...how quickly can they adapt with each other will be a barometer of how far will they go...with coach koy around, everything remains positive...

Mapua -- almost intact line-up...with PBL-honed experience of Dela Pena and Gonzales, the two might just conspire to put Mapua on top...

PCU -- they probably have most experienced line-up this season with Espinas and Castro at helm

CSB,SSCR,UPHR and JRU might just catch everyone by surprise....

[jake_bhars]

ur ryt....anyone can bring huge surprises... I remember PCU was not a contender in 2003 but they surprise everyone having Gabby Espinas...

Goodluck to everyone

Season 82

[Clarkent]

Serious contenders would be Letran, PCU..
Underrated are Saint Benilde, Perpetual, JRU, San Sebastian..
Overrated ang Mapua lalo na si Kelvin..
Malaki ang expectations for San Beda..

Sino pala coach ng CSB for S-82?
Any news from SSC-R? Babawi yan this season...
JRU, mukhang walang improvement sa lineup.. maliit pa din..

[AltarBoy^_^]

I think its still Coach Caloy Garcia for CSB. :D

[roaring_lion]

Yes, Mapua is really overrated this season because of their achievements last season and the fact that they are intact...Kelvin will be the heart and soul of the team...How far kelvin will go determines how far Mapua will... unlike last year, teams will be extra prepared for Kelvin, he will definitely be well-scouted...How will he be able to make the other players involve will be an important determinant for their campaign this year...

[roaring_lion]

Much is really expected from the Red Lions this year as they will definitely have the tallest line-up for this season...With their achievements during the off-season, scouts are really putting their penny for the RL...San Beda might parade a relatively young team this season but these guys may be considered one of the hungriest for this season's plum...

[oscar3]

I'll put my money on SBC to win this year. They have scorers in every position and they have a tall lineup. Even on a bad shooting day they have the big men to give then second chance points. But most important, meron na silang magaling na PG in Hermida. Kung si Menor yung tinawag na messiah, si Hermida yung missing link. Of course, dahil si Koy Banal ang coach, staple nila ang depensa. They can and will play at both ends of the court. Mahirap talunin.

I think only PCU can match their front line and pose the best challenge. But PCU has a shallow bench. Just 7 men to rely on. If SBC challenges PCUs big men early, kakapusin sa tao si Baculi.

Letran's problem now is they don't have the big men they have accustomed to playing with the past 3 years. Base on their FMC performance, they have adapted and are now playing small ball. The problem here is, it won't be effective against teams with good PGs. SBC has Hermida, PCU has Castro.

The fact that Mapua took in former Red Cub and until recently a San Beda varsity aspirant, TG Guillermo this late in summer is a clear indication may problema ang composition ng lineup nila. Wala silang big men panapat sa SBC at PCU. Wala ring consistent shooters to open up defenses. Kaya ayun, binigyan ng puwang si GUILLERMO to address the scoring problem.

Benilde doesn't have the talent to dominate. They are good, but not good enough. Will crowd Mapua for the 4th spot in the semis.

San Sebastian has enough scorers to make defense oriented teams worrying. But I doubt if their big men can contribute and give their shooters the space to operate. Pag na check mo si Vicente, half of the scoring threat from the perimeter is gone. Pag nagkaganoon, paano nila tatalunin ang PCU at San Beda? Together with MIT and CSB, pagagandahin yung race for the semis.

Perpetual...hindi ko nakita buong summer. Pero kung may bago at magaling na players sila, dapat nabalita na. Pero may narinig ba tayo?

JRU...dito sa FMC, pag nakita mo sila maglaro, hinding-hindi ka mag-aalala kung ikaw ang kalaban. May tatalunin. Pero, malayong mag-champion.

So, opinion ko-

SAN BEDA kontra PCU sa championship, the former winning.

Pwedeng makasilat ang Letran. Pero ang tanong ay kaya ba nila mag-full court press ng 40 minutes for 14 games?

[lion_red]

RL shall be in the final four.
but i'm skeptic. I havent seen other teams' line-up yet.
PCU-Letran is still the name of the game.

[lion_red]

San Sebastian has enough scorers to make defense oriented teams worrying. But I doubt if their big men can contribute and give their shooters the space to operate. Pag na check mo si Vicente, half of the scoring threat from the perimeter is gone. Pag nagkaganoon, paano nila tatalunin ang PCU at San Beda? Together with MIT and CSB, pagagandahin yung race for the semis.


I'm a baste supporter too, "2 years" out of the Final 4 is too long for the Stags, a traditional powerhous of the NCAA.

I mark them Darkhorse.

Letran maybe a class above rest in NCAA
By Kristel Satumbaga, Manila Bulletin

LETRAN, the defending champion, remains as the team to beat when the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball championship kicks off its 82nd season on June 24 at the Araneta Coliseum.

At least that’s the consensus of most coaches, claiming that Letran’s vast championship experience would be its most lethal weapon.

Letran’s stock was further boosted after Toyota Otis, bannered by some Letran stars, made it to the finals of the ongoing 2006 PBL Unity Cup.

Besides clinching their first-ever finals, the Toyota Sparks, backstopped by Boyet Bautista and Aaron Aban, swept pro-bound Rain or Shine in the best-of-five semis series.

"Letran should be there on top. They may have lost a lot of good players but they can rely on championship experience," said Mapua coach Horacio Lim during yesterday’s SCOOP sa Kamayan Forum at Padre Faura in Manila.

The Knights will be without Mark Andaya. Erick Rodriguez, Jonathan Aldave and Rey Anabon who have completed their playing years in the league.

Alas failed to attend the forum, probably to avoid being in the limelight.

But like last year, Philippine Christian University remains the biggest thorn in Letran’s title-retention bid. Letran ruined PCU’s back-to-back bid last year – thanks largely to the gutsy plays of Aban, Bautista and Aldave.

And for that, PCU coach Junel Baculi is desperate to get back at the Knights, saying they want to regain the crown they won two years ago – their first-ever – at all costs.

"We wanted to avenge our loss to Letran last year," said Baculi in the forum sponsored by Accel.

While other coaches rated Letran as the strongest squad, they did not discount their chances of pulling off a big surprise at the end of the tournament.

Lim, for one, is convinced his Mapua boys are now ripe for the picking, the same thing for the San Beda Red Lions.

With veteran mentor Koy Banal around, the Red Lions are expected to make it to the Final Four this time. They have beefed up their squad by tapping two Fil-foreign dribblers.

College of St. Benilde will be without last year’s MVP Jay Sagad and Paolo Orbeta but coach Caloy Garcia remains optimistic of their chances.

San Sebastian will have a new coach in Raymond Valenzona, who took over from his veteran father, Turo. The elder Valenzona decided to become a team consultant instead after decades of coaching, starting with the FEU Tamaraws in the UAAP and in the pro league.

hindi na pala si coach turo sa baste..

NCAA sets Tougher ‘screens’ with Jun B
By FRANK CALAPRE, Correspondent, ABS-CBN News

National Collegiate Athletic Association commissioner Jun Bernardino on Friday said he will exercise "utmost authority" to protect the name of the country’s oldest school-based league, which opens shop June 24 at the Araneta Coliseum.

The newly appointed chief of the 82nd NCAA season said the eligibility of the league’s more than 120 players is his top concern, in a bid to avoid the controversy that hit De La Salle University in the University Athletics Association of the Philippines late last year.

"First of all, we have to insure all players are eligible to play in the 82nd season. That is my foremost concern as commissioner of the [Philippines’] oldest collegiate league," said Bernardino at the Scoop Sports Forum at the Kamayan restaurant in Malate, Manila.

He said managing the NCAA, which started in 1924, is a much more challenging job than running the professional Philippine Basketball Association, where he also served as commissioner for nearly a decade.

"As much as possible we want to avoid problems that may cast a question on the credibility of the NCAA. We don’t want this to happen, not on my watch," added Bernardino.

He was clearly referring to the eligibility scandal that rocked the UAAP, which led to the one-year suspension of the multititled De La Salle Green Archers after two of its players were found to have submitted spurious records to enroll in the school.

"The NCAA is much harder [to cheat against] simply because all these student-players are more serious [about playing] than those in any other league. Officiating here is a more serious job," added Bernardino, who once played for Ateneo de Manila University when the Blue Eagles were still an NCAA member before it joined the UAAP in the early ’80s.

Meanwhile, most coaches predicted defending champion Letran, 2004 titlist Philippine Chrisitian University and San Beda College as the teams to watch in the coming season.

"Letran should be there on top," said Mapua coach Horacio Lim, whose Cardinals made it to the Final Four last year.

Among the coaches present, only Junel Baculi of the Philippine Christian University Dolphins expressed confidence of winning the crown this year after finishing runner-up behind Letran in the 81st season.

"We want to erase the stigma of our loss to Letran last year. So, we are going to win the crown this time," said Baculi, whose Dolphins won their first NCAA title in 2004 under former coach Loreto Tolentino.

University of Perpetual Help’s Rod Pasco said the Altas do not have championship-caliber players but are aiming for another berth in the Final Four, while the San Beda Red Lions admitted to having 6-foot-9 Sam Ekwe of Nigeria and 6-foot-7 Michael Burt Scher of Switzerland.

SBC assistant coach Jude Roque, however, said both Ekwe and Scher are still raw and need more playing time to develop.

[Clarkent]

ang Letran naman eh di nagsasalita na malakas *** whatsoever. *** ibang team kc dyan puro malakas pag preseason ang ncaa..tapos the next season malakas na naman daw ***..??kumbaga malakas sa kwentuhan

That's why we respect this beloved neighbor of ours!

VIVA MAPUA!
ARRIBA LETRAN!

[Clarkent]

The RUN-AND-GUN game of JRU was at it's best during the time of Whynsjohn Te.

The Phoenix Suns (2006) of NCAA.

[roaring_lion]

How about the new coach of the Stags? Raymund Valenzona (former staglets coach)...will he lead them back to the promise land???

[Clarkent]

^On Raymund Valenzona, maganda yung experience nya in bringing home the juniors crown for the staglets..

Just like Horacio Lim, napag-champion din nya ang juniors team (Horacio for Mapua in 2000) and then he was assigned to mentor The Cardinals and brought them into Final 4 (with 9-5 win-loss card) in his first year (2001), 7-7 in 2002, 2003 and 2004, and 9-5 in 2005.

so expections are high for the younger valenzona.

how come that mapua has a problem in scoring?... they have gonzales and dela pena whom have outstanding pbl stint?...


its mapua-letran!

[toti mendiola]

how come that mapua has a problem in scoring?... they have gonzales and dela pena whom have outstanding pbl stint?...
its mapua-letran!

Dela Peña is a point guard, unless your Coaching staff would make him a points guard although he could definitely score. Jeff Gonzales could indeed light up the rainbow.TG Guillermo would make significant contributions. In deference to oca3's post, i think your big men will find it difficult to score inside against taller teams, but basing from the past season, your big men are more of a high post perimeter scorers. They will find no problem contributing. But if you'll ask me i would want my big men down low and not on the comfort jocking for position-less zone.

[redboy]

Mapua has three main ingredient in their plays:

1. Full court press - the caveat is that if the other team (especially with tall players) breaks the press, then a sure 2 points for the opponent. Likewise, Mapua should be in top condition to employ the press almost throughout the game.

2. Running game - conditioning is also a factor.

3. Outside shooting - a high percentage is a must because against a tall line-up, there are no second chances.

[roaring_lion]

The problem of Mapua this season is that Kelvin will be very well scouted...teams will not make life easy for him...and if Mapua will just depend on one or two players, they will really have a hard time

[Clarkent]

there would be a lot of UPSET GAMES.

letran will avenge their only loss last year, courtesy of the cardinals, that made them miss the automatic final berth

[yamskee]

kanya kanyang pambato yan! syempre yung iba dun sa school nila! antayin na lang natin! tsaka madaming bagong mga players ngayon, kahit ba magaling mapua dahil nandito si ganito ganyan, o kaya letran dahil gaya ng inaasahan o kaya pcu dahil nandyan pa din si ganyan. eh pano kung may bago pala beda dahil ganito ganyan o kaya csb dahil may import galing sa ganyan.. saka na! di pa nakikita laro nung iba eh.. pero kung sa pangarap na lang din.. sana naman makabawi na beda this season..

[ivankirk12]

The problem of Mapua this season is that Kelvin will be very well scouted...teams will not make life easy for him...and if Mapua will just depend on one or two players, they will really have a hard time

kaya nga yung ibang players ng cardinals ay wala na sa team a. (siguro nasa team b na sila)

Napansin ata ni coach horacio na medyo may konting deficiency sa bench support ang cardinals....*okay*

[pancham]

I admit Horacio Lim is one of the Better Thinking coaches in NCAA, pero hindi naman ang coach ang naglalaro, ang team ang pumupuno sa part na yun, though Dela Pena's Performance should be revered, mapua is always known for it's quick-ball plays and outside shootings, mahihirapan ang smaller line up na dumiga sa loob, Then they would have to rely on speed.. Ang tanong, kaya ba nilang tumakbo ng tumakbo sa 12 games? I know their good, but limited options is bad..

HOwever, kasama pa rin sa fearless forecast ko and Mapua, They would be ranked 3rd in my opinion or fourth.. I believe they would be seeing SBC who would rank 1st or 2nd, depending on their game this coming wednesday and their game against letran.. PCU is still a contender and SSC-R is a dark horse that should never be underestimated, kahit wala si najorda, matatangkad naman ang mga naiwan, matuturuan mong maglaro ang kahit sino pero hindi mo matuturuan ang player kung pano tumangkad..
