Game 5: The Penultimate Round


What is at stake for Game 5?
RANKINGS FOR THE PLAYOFFS.

Here are the highlights for Game 5:
  • On the top of the ladder board, 2 teams have identical 4-0 cards, GKW & Maricas. Both teams face possible spoilers that could forge a 3-way tie with 4-1 cards should GK and Maricas lose and Excel win game 5.
  • Dynamic Excel is in solo 3rd. If they lose game 5 to TFC and the four teams with 2-2 cards win game 5, a possible 5-way tie can happen - all with 2-3 cards..
  • 4 teams are locked with identical 2-2 cards, Casa Rap, Wala Sa Ayos, Red Bulls and Baltimore Dragons. If all four teams with 2-2 cards win game 5, a possible 5-way tie can happen with all 5 winning teams gaining 3-2 cards and another 5-way tie at the bottom for the losing teams may ensue, resulting with identical 1-4 cards.
  • 5 teams have identical 1-3 cards, TFC, Titans, Force, Exit and Blazers. If all 5 teams win game 5, then a possible 9-way tie can happen with 9 teams having 2-3 cards.
  • Game 5 sideshow: TFC and Dynamic Excel face each other once again. The last time they played each other was during the FACAA league championship game where Dynamic Excel came home victors. Will TFC prevail over the Dynamic Excel team this time around? Come and watch the games!
  • Whatever happens, one thing is sure, QUOTENT WILL MATTER.
Which combination do you think will happen? And who will remain on top, GK or Maricas?

All,

As Team Captain of Gawad Kalinga Warriors, I regret the negative comments posted in the website blog by some GK Fans and this is not reflective of the team’s character as a whole and I also requested the Blog moderator to filter future comments that will put GKW in a bad light.

Thank you for your understanding regarding this matter.

Herb

Coach Herb..must say this is well said. But really, I just think you can't take the heat, you just want to skirt it.

After dissing our team from your end, now this? blah!!

you may be cocky now because you're on top of the division, I say you haven't seen the rest of it yet.

GK's going down!!!! Bring it on GK nation!!!

To Herb:

I know that you mean well, but this, I believe is an open-post blog and anybody's word (unless very vulgar and directly offensive to somebody in particular) should be posted by the moderator.

As team captain of the GK Warriors, you should only be responsible for your team's actions and anything related to the fans should be left as is. Should it put your team in a bad light, then take it with a grain of salt.

We, the readers, are not fools. I, for one, don't associate a fan's comments to the team. Fans will be fans. Some are quiet, some are loud but we all make the Palaro fun and exciting. I do hope that the moderator won't grant your request to filter the comments in favor of GKW.

Peace out Kabayan!

How can you say that to Coach Herb and his players that they are cocky... after they found out what happened to Barnes they include him in thier prayers before the game..... that Barnes can have a quick recovery. GKW players did'nt celebrate when they found out that one of Excel players could'nt make it because he is injured but they are more concerns in his health.

I think you need to be more concern of TFC because I think they will bit Excel this Saturday.

Go MARICAS Team!

I'll be your lone supporter here in the philippines!hehehe ;D

hello TFC v PHI/DYN
i know how phi can beat tfc...this is how...low post plays to Barnes and if trapped lob pass to Balagtas or Miranda for treys or to Bong for short jumper around keyhole with screen by mann or mercado...same play all day easy 2 or 3...defense-wise do not man-man just clog the lanes and force them to jump shoot low percentage shots...deny pass to dazon but let fogata shoot all day...if you follow recipe...DYN W- TFC L

how to beat gk in the gk versus force game? sorry folks of force at this time i don't think any team can beat gk this year perhaps next year there might be a chance to beat them if and only if the lancionis' will combine with imperial, barnes, nicdao, dazon, santos, reynolds, delgado, yap, brooks, fabian, balagtas, pangilinan,balan,wu,etc...

coach baby d. said...

dragons vs blazer this is going to be an intresting game to watch and analyze...dragons and blazers are both not defensive teams they're both scoring machines so if defense is left out of the court then it will go down to who will miss the most will lose...prone to OT and if so the team that tires out early will lose...just keep defense simple to zone for both teams exert effort on offense and rebound for the both of you. coach baby d.

coach baby d. said...

red bulls v maricas...now red bulls will hand maricas its first loss by man to man defense, controlling the boards and fastbreak...if gets tired settle to zone clog passing lanes or harass pg (they dont have one)for steal or for violation...maricas has offense so do not let down the defense use all 15 players for defensive rotation once grabbed the lead...for maricas, low post plays to alday with frequent passes to persons and ulit for treys and screen or pick and roll play for advento for high percentage points. good luck.

coach baby d. said...

casa rap v exit...if riel, mcinnis, and bondao will play exit will hav a chance against the taller casa...accurate shooting and defense will matter for exit...csa rap to wrap this up will need a complete line-up...attack the boards both offense and defense is key for casa since hey have the height...whoever gets tired first during regulation can lose...

coach baby d. said...

wsa v titans...if titans will just stick with their game plans/plays and trust their players better probably they will beat wsa...titans has to double their efforts on defense to create for their offense (fabian/fontano/ortega)do not let wsa pile up lead on you since you do not have the ability to come up with loads of points...keep points close because wsa is prone to collapse in close games(except game against casa)...wsa to win just play your style of game...wonder why you are missing estoveza you need him for points anyways you have concepcion and vergara...good luck

coach baby d. said...

p.s. tfc v phi/dynamic...i forgot about tfc how can tfc win? let me spell out the ways: tfc last year looked more organize than this year...tfc plays the run-run n gun style of play with each player trusting one another...this year i could see hesitancy and doubt...there is no fluid team offense just the one on one offense with a lot of doubt who is going to be responsible...i believe this is the offshoot of buildup...to be successful i will field in santos #1 with p. nicdao plus sanchez, devera, dazon playing most of the minutes with fogsta, david etc as reserves or role players...fogata for set-up treys david for butch or jay sub so they can rest...as well as the rest for subs...go back to the 2008 tfc offensive and defensive style of play...watch your past videos and you'll find out...its not yet too late to change egos must be sacrificed...its crunch time folks!!!

There is no stopping the Mighty GK Warriors. They have no weakness as a team so opposing teams might as well be ready to take an L. I do wish some luck for team force because they are going to need a lot more than luck to win against the GK Warriors.

coach baby d. said...

gkw v others
now we will analyze how the other potential teams can stop the gk juggernaught: gk first five is solid however lately #2 seems out of synch not like last year he is the bull but not on this regular season so for opponents you are actually playoing against 4...do not overplay #2 just deny pass let #0 work hard to the hoop by honest D plus double team (one long, one short) now that leaves #4,22,23 outthere somwhere so clog the passing lanes with tall(not necessarily) and quick players play motion defense, tiring but necessary...give up fouls(not hard fouls you morons just smart fouls!)do not give free easy lay-ups or jumps make them work hard!!!this way at least your team will be close but i doubt if your team will be leading by a mile remeber gkw has both D and O skills...your team does not...so you willbe using your entire bench for honest D the entire game...for offense take your time go for high percentage shots bcause gkw is also strong on D...do P&R or screens...make gkw work hard on D...remind your PGs to play smart...by doing this the game will be close...therfore the most that your team can do is stay close if your team wins then there mus be divine intervention on your side...plus there is video clips on how to play basketball and instructional video as well on what makes up a foul and other violations both on offense and defense i strongly urge that your coaches or captains and players alike to view them and learn so that you will not waste your time harping on those poor referees at 30 bucks per game...asta la vista...los ninas...coach baby d.(time to sip on my margarita...rehoboth bitch oops er beach is cool)

Now We Know said...

I have found out the secret to gkW's success!! it is because they are a family. everyone can see they are 2 deguzmen brothers. 4 clemente bros. the degracia must be one of their mixed cousin. stallions little brother is number 5 point guard. The oldest guy is their Lolo and last but not least the Bull Leo and team coach herb are like danny deveto and arnold schwarzenegger in twins. the secret is out

Coach Phil Jackstone said...

coac baby d. :)

I like the way you put your analysis together.. short and sweet?

Who do you think will be the 8 teams that will be in playoffs? Any thoughts?

To Now We know...

...lol!!!! you just crack me up,, maaann... that's a good one!

just the thought of coach herb as danny devito with his twin brother leo "the bull"...hahahahahaha!!!!

must give it to coach herb for being cool and calm...(thumbs up!). I think the best nickname for coach herb is not Arabo. Nope. For being calm and well-behaved, he should be nicknamed PEPITO. (pEpito ang buhok bali pa anim)...lol!!!

peace, coach herb! Good luck to GK Warriors!!!!

GK/Blazers forever said...

Coach Herb aka Pepito:

Can you please lend two of your players to Sonny "the Assassin" Dela Torre. Probablly one of the new Clemente (Curtis) and Ryan De Guzman. If this thing happened... Championship will be GKW vs. Blazers. The two sister team. Like Sam miguel "beermen" vs. Genebra San meguel "Kings".

coach phil-ay-show
i am not into predictions but depending on how psc will handle the rest of the playoffs for example based on seedings all the way to semis: gkw, dyn, bd, tfc may end up top 4...the maricas, red bull, casa rap, wsa maybe dark horses...hiccup oooh that margarita...burp...mmmmm

TheRealDeal said...

Does anybody want to talk trash about my team GK Warriors? it was more fun when people liked to challenge the mighty GK Warriors by saying foolishness on this blog. All i can say is NO ONE is going to stop the GK Warriors so if your favorite team makes it to the finals against them, just be happy. You are privileged to face a mighty team and hopefully gain some experience doing so.

P.S. if there were an award for best blogger, i think Point and Laugh would definitely try to get that award because at least he made the forums a little more entertaining haha. He may or may not win it but he will be in the competition to get it haha

first loss to Red Bulls???!!!!
at wala ang Maricas point guard???!!! hmmm....you know what you are right you are right! those Maricas are lucky. We'd like to hear your analysis on the next game. Also go to Maricas store in Phoenexville for some real lucky filipino food.
