U Are an Asshole Prick!

...Arwind Santos

Fine, I'll give you the MVP. But I’m not convinced with your performance since you were the MVP last year. If you were really that good, shouldn’t you be in the PBA along with Mark Cardona who’s only grand individual award was the Rookie of the Year which you also won?

I ask the question, who among the three of you (including LA Tenorio) stayed for one more year to settle unfinished business? I may give Tenorio some leeway since he hasn’t won an MVP award (all he has is MVP’s money) but that is still a selfish reason to remain in a collegiate league when you know enough that you are good enough in the pro ranks.

Didn’t you feel insulted that in the same afternoon Cardona got drafted by Air 21, you were playing in Araneta Coliseum? Shouldn’t you be in the Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall instead of losing to the University of the East?

Didn’t you feel awkward that you were on the court while Cardona was watching you from the sidelines last afternoon? I sense you had a sigh of relief seeing him in street clothes instead of the usual green and white jersey with matching headband and knee-high socks.

The mere fact that Cardona left a year earlier means he had the guts to face the big boys while you are a coward. Now that you decided to stay, the only big boys you have to contend with right now are Junjun Cabatu, Rico Maierhofer, and Mark Benitez. These guys are no Asi Taulavas… at least physically.

Wouldn’t it be insulting if you were stopped dead on your tracks by a bunch of hobbits? This has been the smallest Archer lineup in years. It’s so small, JR Aquino, who’s only 6’2"-ish, is playing power forward! Let’s do the roll call… TY Tang, Joseph Yeo, JVee Casio, Ryan Araña.

JVee Casio… he stopped you once and he almost did it again last Thursday. Joseph Yeo… he ran circles around you whole game long and you had the audacity to do a staredown with him after the buzzer sounded? Picking up on a small guy, eh? Why don’t you pick someone your own size? Try Maierhofer. Ryan Araña… he danced once and he got called for taunting. You, on the other hand, have done at least one celebration jiggy every game against the Archers but nothing follows. TY Tang… he might have been off in Game 1, but aren’t you amazed with his development? He is not the same TO Tang that was just being elbowed around by Tenorio during his rookie. Now, he is doing the elbowing while LA is doing the flopping.

You should be ashamed of yourself picking a fight with kids, Lolo Arwind.

I am not really a Joseph Yeo fan, but regardless of what happens in Game 2 or Game 3, I believe he is already ripe for the PBA… now.

2003… Final four vs Ateneo. There was no Macmac. He stepped up, carried the Archers on his shoulders. After the buzzer sounded, he was doing the staredown with Rich Alvarez which escalated into this Patron section brawl. Emotions were really high by then.

Two years later, again without Captain Hook, he scored 26 points in a Santos vs Yeo mini-battle. After Casio missed the supposed to be game-winning shot, he grabbed the ball, and was staring up Santos. It was obvious they weren’t exchanging pleasantries. He wasn’t going to back out of a fight. Until DLSU-M men’s basketball assistant manager Manny Salgado stepped in.

He doesn’t care how big you are. Japeth Aguilar who? The Ninja was twisting and floating in midair against this beanpole in his final game versus the Eagles in the UAAP.

I may want Yeo in the PBA for the wrong reasons, but I still want him to suit up for a PBA team nevertheless. I want him to trash talk behemoth Asi Taulava to tears.

Perpetual suspension? Where do the UAAP Board get their decisions?

How about FEU men’s basketball coach Bert Flores’ actions afterwards? He was about to attack Salgado with a closed fist before he was restrained… by players!

Is that what you call maturity? Tim Cone, Yeng Guiao, Chot Reyes, and Alfrancis Chua, for all of their tantrums, I haven’t seen them try to attack a player or a staff from the opposing team yet. As for Robert Jaworski, all barriers of etiquette and right conduct are broken. We don’t need to go there.

Of course, Flores wouldn't be reprimanded. He is under the wings of Anton Montinola.

How many times has De La Salle been screwed by the UAAP Board? I don’t want to keep count anymore. Fuck U Are All Pricks Board.

Let’s do some trends

Since 2000, whoever wins Game 1 gets the championship in UAAP men’s basketball. The last time a team won the basketball crown by capturing the second game was 1999 done by the Green Archers.

The scenario back then was that BJ Manalo missed the last shot that gave the UST Tigers the first game of the finals. Two games and a Hail Mary of a Dino Aldeguer three-pointer later, DLSU-M won their second of four straight UAAP men’s basketball trophies.

Let us consider the present situation. We are the defending champions. We just lost Game 1.

Keep the faith! Animo La Salle!
