‘We let the fans down’: Injured Mark Caguioa rips into Ginebra teammates for disappointing effort

“We let the fans down.”

That was how Barangay Ginebra San Miguel superstar Mark Caguioa described his team’s performance in a disappointing Game Three loss to Talk ‘N Text Wednesday night at the SMART-Araneta Coliseum.

Caguioa, who has missed most of the Gin Kings’ games this conference, was caught by television cameras ripping into his teammates late in their 98-80 loss.

“We were down by only three points. Kasi during that time, parang ang laki-laki ng lamang sa amin. I told my teammates to pick it up,” said Caguioa, whose team was outrebounded, 65-46, even though the Tropang Texters suited up a smaller import, Tony Mitchell.

“We could have been more aggressive. For us to win, you’ve got to feel the pain. Parang takot kaming masaktan kanina.”

The game was attended by a crowd of 23,108, a new record for basketball games at the SMART-Araneta Coliseum. A good chunk of those were Ginebra diehards, who went home disappointed by the main game’s result.

Caguioa was disappointed too.

“We should have lived up to our never-say-die attitude.”

ng magpalit ng import ang tnt iniisip ko sumuko na sila kasi ang liit ng import nila

pro baliktad pla parang ung ginebra ung sumuko kagabi

ako mula noon nalaman ko mapapaltan ang import ng tnt, bigla ako kinabahan kasi mas prefer ko pa si jordan, kasi kahit matangkad sya hindi naman sya impressive sa scoring... pero ang pumalit sa knya eh magaling na import, scorer, tapos napaka ganda ng credentials, wala pa ako nakikita import na naglaro dito sa pinas na ganun kaganda ang credentials, biruin nyo kasali sa 1st mythical team, rookie of the year, at slam dunk champion ng nba d league... san ka pa.. sigurado ako nasa top nanaman ang tnt next conference... oo maliit nga ang import na to pero kung hindi naman natin mapipigilan to sa pag score, balewala lang din ang advantage natin sa loob kasi kayang kaya bantayan ni ali peek ang malalaki import ngayon, ultimo sila denzel nahihirapan din kay ali peek. kasi malakas din ang katawan ng player na to...

actually pre kasalanan na rin ng team yan.. wlang gana ung laro nila kala cguro nila kaya nila ung tnt porke maliit ung import

kaya sisihin ko tlga sa laro kagabi sila rin. semifinals tapos ung laro nyo parang pang elims lang

dapat ibalik yun dating plays nila... nun ROS ang kalaban nila... ngayon kasi, puro kila kerby at vmack ang bola, nawawala yun pag pasok ng mga guards loob para makapg create ng open shots sa outside...

tsaka ung pick and roll wla na rin.. tpos ung drive sa loob tapos pasa kay vmack o kaya alley hoop sa knya.. masyado tayong nagtitira sa labas e hindi nman mataas ang percentage naten dun.

overconfident kasi akala ng mga guards natin eh makukuha nila yun rebound kasi nandun si macklin... eh magaling kya mag box out si ali peek at ranidel

sana maglaro na sya, kasi ok lang sa akin kahit matalo tayo bukas basta maglalaro si mark... masaya na ako... ang hirap kapag nalaglag tayo ng hindi mo nakikita naglalaro yun leader ng team na talagang meron pusong NSD

sa akin maglaro man sya o hindi ok lang

matalo man ok lang.. importante lumalaban hindi tulad ng laro kagabi parang hindi tlga ginebra ung lumaban kagabi parang may kakaiba

pero sana maglaro xia sa game 4 ..............

malamang maglalaro na sya diba sbi nila sa friday last therapy nya...

kapag ganyan parin ang nilaro sa game mga kabs, kita kits na lang tayo nxt conference
