A Side Note to Petronovela - The Newest Primetime Addiction on AKTV

(Credit to Paul Ryan Tan of AKTV)
 
 
Forget "A Beautiful Affair" or "Temptation of Wife" who would be premiering on the 29th. Petronovela is more interesting, as another sidenote to the Petronovela returned after their win against Global Port, 110-98.
 
The man with the name of Marcio Lassiter, who has not seen action for the Blaze Boosters since he got traded in April formally stepped into the hardcourt during the last minute of their Friday game, perhaps it is how Olsen wanted it, to make Marcio feel the game. His sole shot was a made three-pointer that brought cheers to those who are watching in the Coliseum and even to Twitter, as fans tweeted Mrs. Jerlyn Lassiter, Marcio's wife.
 
 
Mam Jerlyn certainly had her hands full tweeting during her husband's 1st game back after a long time.
 
 
How will Marcio help the team? That is something I am very excited about. Until Friday (November 2) when the Petroniverse battle Air 21 Express.

    San Beda nips Letran Knights to complete another 3-peat

    It took them 3 games to get the championship but they got the job done as San Beda Red Lions manhandled the Letran Knights 67-39 to take their third straight NCAA championship at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

    It was San Beda's 17th NCAA title and the first for rookie coach Ronnie Magsanoc, who took over the coaching duties from Frankie Lim, who was meted a two-year ban by the league last year.

    “It’s all about the players making things happen,” said Magsanoc, who also named the league’s Coach of the Year. “Everybody had a hand in this difficult run.”



    BASER AMER: THE LION KING
    Shortly after, 2nd year player Baser Amer was named as the NCAA Finals MVP. He chipped in 14 points in a starting role to help the Red Lions clinch the title.



    LOUIE ALAS: Out of Letran as Head Coach
    Letran Knights Coach Louie Alas announced his departure as Knights coach after their loss to San Beda Red Lions.

    The scores:

    San Beda (67) – Caram 17, Amer 14, J. Pascual 10, Adeogun 6, Dela Rosa 5, Koga 4, K. Pascual 4, Mendoza 2, Abarcar 2, Ludovice 2, Dela Cruz 1, Bonsubre 0, Lim 0, Villaruz 0, Moralde 0.
    Letran (39) – Cruz 12, K. Alas 11, Cortes 6, Racal 3, Almazan 3, J. Alas 2, Almario 2, Belorio 0, Lituania 0, Gabawan 0, Luib 0, Cudal 0.

    A Basketball Standpoint: Why I am happy for Olsen Racela now.


    From today, Olsen gets to handle the whiteboard, map out plays by himself leaves a smile to the Petroniverse

    If you have been following my blog, you would know how much I am a Petron fan, though I had always make this blog balanced as I blogged about ROS, Talk and Text and other teams, I always find a special place for Petron.

    Let me start by saying, I do not hate Rajko Toroman... His presence with the Smart Gilas 1 squad has certainly pummelled Philippine basketball to the international scene. However, when he started taking an active role at the Petron Blaze Boosters bench, things started to heat-up, especially when he started sharing "co-coaching" duties with the Head Coach, Olsen Racela.

    Olsen Racela is not new to the franchise, spending almost majority of his playing career with the Beermen and a year as assistant coach to Ato Agustin. When he was appointed Head Coach, things didn't came as easy as it would be. Olsen considered it difficult to handle the pros than to handle Energen Team Pilipinas but he knows he has a lot of support ahead of him, that including Rajko Toroman.

    The first 5 Petron games had been a drag. With a 2-3 record that time, Players seemed to be confused to whom they would listen to during timeouts, to whom they would approach during dead-ball situations and to who really has the say with the whiteboard. We can recall instances during timeouts that Rajko was mapping out plays for the team. Fans got confused with the eventual setup and for those who have seen Olsen's career like me, We wanted to see Petron with Olsen (and Olsen alone as the head coach).

    The management did a shake-up Wednesday. The early Toroman was nowhere to be found in Petron practice. Olsen Racela would call the shots alone (technically not alone as he has a talent-pool of coaches). During his first game alone versus Global Port Friday, we didn't see that much changes, there are still Toroman plays but everything is a work in progress.

    I am happy for Olsen because finally, he has been given the opportunity to do things on his own. I cannot say this would mean WINS for Petron but this would mean less confusion to the team setup itself. Arwind Santos made an interesting statement remarking that the players are happy and comfortable (and music is finally allowed in their dugout). With the quote that the Best Players do not become the best coaches?" Let's wait and see. I do not want to typecast. I will just watch.


    The views and opinions expressed by the owner of this blog is only for the perusal of those who would be interested to read it and comments are most welcome.
