Delayed Comeback: RDO Out for 4 Weeks Due to Achilles Tear

Photo from Charles Dy's Facebook page RDO sustains the injury during the Bolts' practice as his comeback could be delayed furthermore The last time the PBA has seen Ranidel de Ocampo shoot those three-pointers he was so known for, it was during the early moments of last year's Governors' Cup Finals against the Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings before he was taken out for good due to a calf injury. He then missed the entire 2017-2018 Philippine Cup as he was recovering from the said injury. Now? RDO might miss a big chunk of the mid-season Commissioner's Cup. In what seems to be another big blow to the depleted frontline of Coach Norman Black, Ranidel de Ocampo sustained an Achilles tear which, according to the insiders from the Meralco Bolts, could mean that RDO could miss the first four weeks of the upcoming Commissioner's Cup. The bad news was later confirmed by none other than Coach Norman Black who said that his squad is ready to go except for the fac... ... See more

A Wheeler's Opinion: Both Meralco and GlobalPort are Winners if Terrence Romeo Trade Happened

Just imagine if the Bolts have Terrence Romeo against Ginebra during the Governors' Cup Finals Terrence Romeo wants to join a winning team.

The Bolts Return to Dominant Form: Takes a 2-0 Lead

No big lead needed to be erased this time Allen Durham outplayed Kris Acox. Again. (Photo by the PBA Media Bureau) One team can inch closer to a return to the PBA Governors' Cup Finals anew, with a win tonight. Another team can tie the series at 1-1 and bounce back from a forgettable meltdown in Game 1. The Meralco Bolts and the Star Hotshots are aiming for different goals for Game 2 but both will require the same thing for the both of two teams: an all-important win in Game 2. As it turned out, the Meralco Bolts learned from their mistakes in the first game of the series as they regained their dominant form to beat the Star Hotshots in Game 2 of their best-of-5 semifinal series after a 98-74 victory over the Hotshots which puts Meralco one win away from booking their ticket to the Governors' Cup Finals. As soon as Justin Melton scored the Hotshots' first two points of the game, Allen Durham and the Bolts didn't wait long and answer right back. 3... ... See more

What Went Wrong for Blackwater: The Numbers

Breaking down the numbers that doomed the Elite Allen Maliksi was a non-factor in last night's game. (Photo by the PBA Media Bureau) After Allen Maliksi drained that game-winner against the Bolts which forced a do-or-die game, in the minds of the Blackwater fans, the Blackwater Elite already had the momentum coming into last night's game to score another upset win against the league leaders, the Meralco Bolts. That was the case for the Elite in the first half as they took a double-digit lead into the break. From that point on, it was a free-fall for the Elite as the Bolts came back to take the lead in the 4th quarter- a lead from which Blackwater never recovered from. Now, let's take a look at the important numbers which explained why the Elite missed an opportunity to beat a powerhouse team and book a date against the Star Hotshots in the semifinals: 1 After torching the Bolts with his 6 three-pointers in the first half, Henry Walker only made ... ...

Bolts Recover in Time to Book Semifinal Slot

Amer led the Bolts as Durham gets hurt late Amer played one of the best games in his career to lead the Bolts (Photo by the PBA Media Bureau) The Blackwater Elite knew that they were facing a twice-to-beat disadvantage against the top-seeded team, Meralco Bolts when they first faced off against last Tuesday to open the quarterfinals of the PBA Governors' Cup. It seemed that the disadvantaged didn't bother Allen Maliksi who completed the Elite's comeback win when he drained that game winner in the dying seconds of Tuesday's battle. As a result, both teams get another chance to decide which of them will have the honor of dancing against the Star Hotshots in the semifinals. They fell behind during most of the first half. Henry Walker was torching them early on. Their own import, Allen Durham got hurt in the 4th quarter and yet, the Meralco Bolts will now face the Star Hotshots in the semifinals after eliminating the Blackwater, 104-96. Wanting to mak... ...

(Photo by the PBA Media Bureau) The good news for the Meralco Bolts is, they only need to win their final game to claim the number 1 spot entering the quarterfinals. The bad news is, they needed to do it against a San Miguel team which they haven't beaten since 2015. Nope. Not this time around, Beermen. The Meralco Bolts came back from an 18-point deficit to claim the number 1 spot after stunning the San Miguel Beermen, 104-101. Hoping to continue their mastery of the Bolts, the San Miguel Beermen jumped to a double-digit lead early on. The Bolts were struggling to get anything going in their offense as the Beermen's defense continuously forced them into committing turnovers which the Beerman would convert into points on the other end.Throughout the 2nd quarter, the Bolts were struggling miserably as they shot only 37% in the fi... ...
