Welcome sa Pinoy NBA at PBA Blog. Ito nga pala una kong post.
Eto para lng maiba, ko-compare ko lng ung teams sa PBA sa NBA counterpart nila. Di ko naman sinasabing talent-wise ang comparison (obviously alang panama PBA natin, tanggapin natin un), pero kumbaga eh ung parallelism nila sa ligang nilalaruan nila. ok, tama na ang satsat, cmulan na natin:
1. Air21 Express - New Orleans Hornets
Bakit Hornets? Teka lng ah, tingnan nyo: Anthony Davis,
shotblocker at bata pa= Noy Baclao, parehong defensive minded. Tapos Eric Gordon sa New Orleans, John Wilson sa Ube Republic, both are a very good shooter and slasher. But still, pailan ilan lng sila kung manalo, they are still learning to learn ika nga. Tyaga lng yan. Bata pa nga eh, ayos?
2. Barako Bull Energy Colas - Dallas Mavericks
Medyo mahirap i-compare etong Red Bull. Bakit? Pa'no puro matatanda na kaya, ung ilang medyo bata, ndi man lang mabigyan ng playing time. Pero, palagay ko, Dallas Mavericks of 2012-2013 yan. Kung pina follow mo NBA even if offseason, alam mong karamihang kinuha ng Dallas thru free agency and trade halos may edad na. Chris kaman, Elton Brand + the amazing Nowitzki na kailangan na din ng fountain of youth. Puro pam poste na matanda. Sa RedBull cno? The World Famous Flopper, Penissi at EVillianueva. Pero kahit old, wise naman, kaya mag ingat ang mga koponan sa Mavs at energy Colas.
3. GlobalPort Batang Pier- Sacramento Kings
Charlotte Bobcats? Yan agad naisip ko dahil sa record nila na 0-3 this conference. Pero Kings talaga counterpart nila. Bakit nman? Dahil, pareho clang may big man na talented, pero parang alang ganang maglaro at manalo. Cno? O di si Rabeh Al-Hussaini at DeMarcus Cousins. May mga talento eh, kailngan lang ng will to win. Aba eh sana baguhin nila ugali nila na yun, para ma achieve nila ung potential nila. Yun lang.
4. Alaska Aces- Cleveland Cavaliers
Obvious naman ito eh. Parehong team nasa rebuilding phase. Pagkakapareho pa nila? Aba eh both teams may young and skilled floor general: JVee Casio sa Aces at syempre, Kyrie Irving for Cavs.
Both player nasa 2nd year na din nila. Ironic nga lng dito nasa Aces ung tinaguriang "The Lebron James of the Phil" dahil sa husay na umiskor, mag assist at rebounding, at ito ay si The Beast Calvin Abueva.
5. Meralco Bolts- Washington Wizards
John Wall=Chris Ross? Haha...kahit panaginip ndi eh. Pero kaya Wizards ay dahil both teams may dalawang talented na SG na ndi talaga magandang pagsamahin sa court at the same time dahil puro shoot-first. Mukhang kilala nyo na. Tama, ito ay sina MacMac at Sol Mercado ng Bolts, at Bradley beal at Jordan Crawford ng Wiz. Cno si Beal? 4th overall pick lng naman of 2012 draft. Si Crawford? Aba eh minsan nya nang sinabi na kaya nyang higitan si MJ23. Search nyo man.
6. Rain or Shine ElastoPainters- Indiana Pacers
Isa ito sa madaling comparison. Bakit? dalawang under the radar team, at halos young players ang core. Alam naman natin, ROS won the Gov. Cup title last conference, samantalang ang Pacers naman, nakakuha ng 2-1 lead sa Eastern semis bago yumukod sa Miami, 4-2. Dalawang up-and-coming team with no real superstars sa roster, but they get the job done.
7. Petron Blaze Boosters- New York Knicks
Ano naman ang pagkakaparehas nyan, tanong nyo. Tingnan nyo ah, ang daming star player ng dalawang team na ito eh. Enumerate ko nalang ah: Boosters- ASantos, Jwash, Lutz, Lassiter, The Kraken, Cabagnot. Knicks: Melo, Amare, TChandler, JKidd, Marcus Camby. Oh ayan. Meron pang isang comparison. Hulaan nyo. Times up. Tamaaa...kabaligtaran cla ng ROS. Daming star player pero ndi mag champion-champion.
8. San Mig Coffee Mixers- OKC Thunder
Ayan. Alam ko nasa isip nyo. Karamihan nasa 30yo-something na players ng San Mig smantalang ang core players ng OKC 25yo pababa lang. Pinakamatanda nga sa OKC si Perkins which is 27yo. Pero bakit OKC ang Mixers? Well, PJ Simon is basically James Harden dahil parehong may tira sa labas at may playmaking skills at higit sa lahat, parehong super SUB. Marc pingris naman, Serge Ibaka ang laro. Rebounding, blocks, kuha nyo na un. At syempre, James Yap=Kevin Durant. natawa kayo noh. well, both are superstars of their respective leagues. 'Nuff said.
9. Talk N' Text Tropang Texters- Los Angeles Lakers
Napangiti ba kau? Ako din eh. Parang ang layo noh. Pero kung talagang titingnan nyo mga players nila, may hawig eh. Jimmy Alapag-Steve Nash, parehong pass first with elite 3point shooting.
Ryan Reyes- Metta World Peace, defensive stoppers. Ranidel-Pau Gasol, big man with shooting range. Ali peek? Cge na nga Dwight Howard with less offense. At Kobe Bryant? Well, Jason Castro, in terms of scoring. Kelly Williams naman c Antawn jamison, parehong kadalasan off the bench. In terms of Winning championships? Alam nman natin TNT parang humahakot ng trophies. Lakers? Alam nyo na history nila... 16 Championships with 2010 being the latest.
10. Ginebra San Miguel- Miami Heat
Putik, daming magrereact dito. At NO, hindi ako Ginebra fan. Kung player ang usapan, nakikita ko nman na comparison DWade-Caguioa, KRaymundo- Chris Bosh. Sa una, parehong superstar shooting guards eh. Sa 2nd, big man with shooting touch. Tapos yung Miami at Ginebra, dami ding talented forwards (Shane Battier, Haslem, Rashard Lewis sa Heat; Maliksi, Ababou, Maierhoffer, Raymundo naman sa Barangay) ngunit pareho din naman silang alang dominant center. Kay LeBron ala talaga akong makita eh, unique talaga sya. As a team? Alam naman natin na crowd favorite ang Ginebra (at galing yan sa Non-Ginebra fan), at ang Heat naman? Sila ata balita araw araw sa NBA at dami nilang fans din, true fans man o mga bandwagon fans. Pareho ding madaming haters. Pagdating sa performance ng team? Defending Champion ang Miami samantalang ang Ginebra naman, nagbabakasakali ngaung season.
