Caguioa-less, Menk-less, Junthy-less GINEBRA Makes It Look They're Smarter Than SMART-GILAS

Last Friday, October 23, 2009, Cuneta Astrodome
was again filled with all the familiar screaming and
cheering for the Barangay Ginebra Kings as they
rallied their campaign toKFC-PBA Philippine Cup.
Looking at how balanced their offensive and
defensive skills are, they easily manipulated the
game and eventually grabbed their 3rd straight win.

Mr. Fearless Ronald Tubid scored 22 points, nine
of them coming in a 17-4 run by the Kings in the
third quarter.

Mr. Fast JayJayHelterbrand, contributed 15 points,
JC Intal chipped in 11 markers (that includes showtime
slamdunks) and 10 rebounds, Enrico Villanueva,
surprised the crowd with 11 points and 11 boards,
making all of the afficionados think, "what more if
Caguioa, Menk and Valenzuela are in good shape?"

RP Smart-Gilas team played without two of their
star players CJ Giles and Chris Tiu.
