Recap

FAST PACED; NO HOLDS BARRED

The Big Chili had been on a 3 game losing streak but their last game may show signs that they had turned a corner. The team was able to get the Sini Gang at bay for 90% of the game until they ran out of gas. Meanwhile, the Gym Rats just came back from their biggest win in the season so far over the Lord of the Rings. The ‘Rats were running like a well oiled machine, juiced up, and ready to go making LOTR looked like Seniors last weekend.

The Big Chili will rely on CK Arcilla who had his career high of 33 points over Sini Gang. Bombi Toves is rumored to come back this week. If its anything, this two guards had to learn how to play together in order have a chance against the rats. The team was playing beautifully and they outhustled the Sini Gang last week with unselfish playmaking and on-time scoring. John Dahan, Mitchell Salas, and GJ Eva were amazing last weekend and will look to replicate their play. Gerry Areja and Jun Gustilo will continue to provide veteran support off the bench. Orlando Mortel will be looking to have another solid weekend. Joseph Brimon will sit this one out as he had to travel out of the country.

The Gym Rats are just pesky, annoying, and fast – literally like rats. They are all over the court. They go after the basketball like its a ball of cheese. The trio of Cy Real, Gerard Itao, and Renz Villanueva had been providing headaches for opposing teams as these athletic guards are relentless on both ends of the court. PJ Dacones who came back after many years of hiatus has not lose a step and is still one of the primary weapons for the ‘Rats. Mo Karim also showed why he is one of the premier players in the league last weekend on both offense and defense playing vs Juan Gutierrez. Newcomer Victor Dungca had been solid for the Rats and provide that wing scoring that they need as well as on ball defense. Ja Aloy, Joel Recinto, Jun Rey Cabarrubias completes the capable bench for the Rats.

Will the Chilis win this week? Or will the ‘Rats just eat their lunch?
