Ronnie Nathanielsz tweets about Ginebra loss, coaching change looms.

Sports analyst Ronnie Nathanielsz, a die hard Ginebra fan, took his disappointment on twitter right after the Manila Clasico as the Gin Kings failed yet again to enter the PBA Finals. His tweets open up some rumors about the "Living Legend" Robert Jaworksi coming back as Ginebra head coach for the PBA 38th season. 


Should we really blame coach Siot Tanquincen for the loss? Or is Ginebra experiencing the same fate as Petron where there are too many good players vying for playing time? 

Let's dissect it even further. Recently acquired rookies Dylan Ababou and Allein Maliksi are supposed to provide youth and fire power for the Gin Kings together with forward Rico Maierhofer. But are they getting the right playing time? I haven't seen them being given plays in the offensive end. When was the last time they scored double digits? Remember when the EspaƱa Express were making some buzz when they were still with the Barako Bull? I hated seeing them play against Ginebra before because they pose a real threat to the Gin Kings. I didn't see that when they joined Ginebra. Maybe, they're still adjusting. Maybe it's because of the guard-oriented import laden conference. Or maybe they didn't have Siot's trust. 

Will coach Sonny change that? It remains to be seen. 

Right now, Ababou, Maliksi and Maierhofer are dying for minutes. I don't know when will they get it. Siot has to satisfy everyone which is an extremely hard task to do. Ginebra's lineup has too many good players. I don't see it as a good problem though, just like Petron coach Ato Agustin had professed. 


Is it time? Again, it remains to be seen.

  1. let's do not jump on conclisoion, not yet, coach siot did what he have to do, and bringing back The Big J wasn't nescesary either, Ginebra did prove something, there is CHEMISTRY, yun lng naman kase ang kulang sa kanila since the start of the season, and it's been a hell of a ride for them especially Mark Caguioa who's been showered by contreversy because of his credebility, no one would ever think that he's gone this far and still kicking, he's just as good as what the team is all about, about sir ron's tweet, maybe he's been drag by his emotion that's why he throw such a mouthfull of words, he's obviously a Die Hard Ginebra Fan, kung magbabago kasi ang takbo ng panahon for sure no one would even dare to say some critism, about that 'they could be like petron, with too much firepowers and superstar', as far as I can see they we're way too different on the way Gonebra's whole team played all season long I assure you kung wala ng palitan ng tao's mga trades madaming paiiyakin ang mga taga Brgy. I wanna say thanks for the blogger who posted this, men I truely wanna say this 1 word, 'SUPERB' goodluck BGK

    -A Die Hard Ginebra Fan since the 90's YmMaN po Lahing Ginebra....
