Starting 5ive: 5 reasons why the Philippine Cup semis is awesome

January 7, 2016
It has a coach/politician pulling dirty tricks on the sidelines, a commish going all Vince McMahon on the court, and Terrence Romeo getting buckets. What’s not to like?

STILL JUNEMAR’S LEAGUE

In the Game 1 victory, the MVP finished with 36 points, 18 rebounds and 5 blocks. So yes, kailangan pa din siya sa Gilas.

 

THE FUTURE

The young guns are taking the lead. Terrence Romeo dropped a career-high 41 points in Game 1, but Chris Banchero countered with a team-high 18 points in Game 2.

ROSS vs RoS

Yeng Guiao is an expert at this, right Dondon?

 

SEMERAD VS ABUEVA VS JAY WASH VS DONDON VS KUME (?)

So many things happened in this play that 13 (13!) technical fouls were handed out. The scuffle also prompted PBA Commissioner Chito Narvasa to step in, Vince McMahon-style, and ordered Hontiveros to head to the bench. Total damages: P91,200 worth of fines.
