CHICAGO -- Apparently, it was "amateur night" in the PBA this Sunday.
In the first game of a doubleheader at the PhilSports Arena, Magnolia lost to Meralco by scoring just 51 points. Yes, 51. That's not a typo.
What the hell was that?MORE FROM SPIN
NO RESPONSE. CRICKETS.
However, Meralco coach Luigi Trillo, who had a front-row seat to the embarrassing pile of garbage offered an explanation. ADVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW ↓
"They didn't have (Jio) Jalalon and (Calvin) Abueva. Those two are big to them," Trillo told royalcasino888.co.
No offense meant but Jalalon and Abueva ain't exactly Steph Curry and Klay Thompson where their absence would cause a catastrophic power outage on offense. Besides, "the Hotshots" had 12 other guys who suited up and played. Amazingly, no one scored more than six points, including one of my favorite players, Mark Barroca, who went just 1-of-9. The rest of the starters -- James Laput, Aris Dioniso, Jerrick Balanza, and Russell Escoto --- were similarly inept and sank only 5 of a combined 23 field goals. Wow. These guys must have stared at the sun too long without protective eyeglasses during the eclipse. I also have a different theory. The Hotshots laced up their shoes today unprepared and uninterested in competing probably because they've already secured a playoff spot.IF SO, THE FAULT LIES ON VICTOLERO AND HIS STAFF.
