Alaska coach Luigi Trillo believes Mark Caguioa won’t play in finals for Ginebra

Alaska coach Luigi Trillo is busy preparing his team’s game plan for the Commissioner’s Cup finals against Barangay Ginebra San Miguel.

But one name would be conspicuously missing from his list of marked men: reigning PBA Most Valuable Player Mark Caguioa.

“I don’t think he is playing in the finals,” Trillo told InterAKTV. “It’s a risk playing him in the finals and I think Ginebra will not risk playing him.”

Caguioa has missed most of Ginebra’s games in the tournament after suffering a knee injury midway through the elimination round. He made a cameo appearance in the final minute of the Gin Kings’ semifinals clincher over Talk ‘N Text last Friday.

But for Trillo, the rest of the Ginebra squad presents the bigger problem.

“Our objective is to contain the guys who brought Ginebra to the finals and Caguioa isn’t part of that key group. We need to stop (Vernon) Macklin, LA (Tenorio), Kerby (Raymundo), Chris Ellis, (Mac) Baracael and (Jayjay) Helterbrand,” said Trillo.

Nakakainis pakinggan na para bang wala ginawa kahit konti si caguioa para tulungan makaabot ang ginebra sa finals... mas mabuti daw na ndi sya naglaro kasi nakapasok ang ginebra sa finals... kaya sana maglaro sya at patunayan nya sa mga kritiko nya na kahit naglalaro sya sa team eh kaya nila magawa makuha ang championship ngayon...

siguradong back up muna xia kay jayjay sa finals ...............

ilalaro nga ba ng ginebra si idol_caguioa? nung dying second pinasok ni coach si idol dumagundong ang araneta....

maglalaro siguro sya yun nga lang limited minutes lang kasi hindi pa sya nakakapag adjust sa flow ng team, and besides ndi dapat madaliin ang paglalaro ni mark kasi kakagaling sa injury at maganda naman ang pinapakita ng mga teammates nya, backup na lang sya kung sakaling ndi maganda ang magiging performance ng mga guards natin ngayon finals...

mamaya nyan manggulat si mark sa finals tapos hindi sila prepared kay mark..LOL pero baka nga kung maglaro man sya limited time lang..
