Recap

‘Rats LOOKING FOR A STEAL

The Lord of the Rings team showed up on Week 2 and demolished the Average Kuyas behind the superb game of Juan Gutierrez, Ronnie Tallud and Robin Tallud with a combine score of 73 out of 93 points. Meanwhile, the veteran Arvin dela Cruz had been shooting lights out with 5 3 pointers in that game.

The Lords were able to stave off Cris Dapon’s hot shooting weekend who had 9 3 pointers for 29 points. The fast-paced offense that run Juan Gutierrez were too much for the Kuyas. In addition, the team also had a prolific shooting effort from Arvin Dela Cruz, Ronnie Tallud, and Robin Tallud. Ronnie had been the cog that keeps the Lords running while Juan leaks out on offense for easy fast break. Yoneo Gamalinda is still trying to find his role on offense for this loaded team but had been very solid on the defensive end. Angelo Dela Cruz also had a solid defensive game last weekend. Dave Go was a monster on defense and on the boards with 7 rebounds. Neil Bagalso is still out of town and may not suit up this weekend. We may see some Jingson Morales action vs the Gym Rats. Nilo was off on Week 2.

The Gym Rats almost defeated the Sini Gang in Week 2 leading by as much as 12 or 14 points before collapsing entirely when the Sini Gang started playing man to man. Cy Real and Renz Villanueva were running 110mph on the game while PJ Dacones provided a glimpse of what he can do for the team showing off his full arsenal. Gerard Itao was shooting lights out in the first half but was stopped in the second half entirely. Victor Dungca was also solid in the game. Jun Rey and Ja Along were not in the game last weekend as well as Mo Karim and Conrad Wolfe rendering the ‘Rats very thin on the front court. Joel Recinto had a solid game on both ends trying to battle the pesky Sini Gang

Tipoff will be at 1215pm on April 6th, 2024.
