Rain or Shine Elasto Painters: Ready to Paint themselves a CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY

Amongst the 4 remaining PBA teams in contention for the PBA Philippine Cup championship, it is Rain or Shine Elasto Painters who rarely had roster changes and improved their lineup to  what they are today. Of course, with a head coach as brilliant as of Yeng Guiao, Rain or Shine has proven themselves a contender & now has a 50% chance to enter the finals. 


Rain or Shine has the capacity to load it up at the 3 point line, they have Jeff Chan, Ryan Arana, Ronjay Buenafe, Gabe Norwood and even the likes of Beau Belga and JR Quinahan who can consistently hit the three on a daily basis. An improved outside shooting for Belga and Quinahan did the damage when ROS beat Ginebra during the Quarterfinals Game 1. And of course, when open, Chan, Buenafe and Arana are deadly, they attract the defense of their opponents that sometimes lead to an open team mate, particularly their super rookie, Paul Lee.


Paul Lee may be a rookie but he has proven deserving of the trust of the ROS Coaching Staff. At the end of quarterfinals, he is a shot away of the Top 10 for BPC of the Philippine Cup. The second 2011 PBA Draftee is also a leading candidate this early for ROY and has wowed critics with his excellent playmaking and veteran-like wits in the court. 


ROS has a very good support crew: TY Tang, Jireh Ibanez, Jervy Cruz, Jonathan Uyloan, Ronnie Matias, Chito Jaime who had all fared well with Coach Yeng's system. The series between ROS-Poweade is definitely something to watch for. Series begins: January 4 at the Cuneta Astrodome.
