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. Terrence Romeo has emerged as one of the league's elite scorers since coming into the league back in 2013. Through his 5 years in the PBA, Romeo has received the following awards and recognitions: 2015 PBA Most Improved Player 3 times PBA All-Star 2-time PBA All-Star Game MVP 2-time PBA All-Star 3-Point Shootout Champion Member of the 2016 PBA First Mythical Team Member of the 2015 PBA Second Mythical Team Member of the 2014 PBA All-Rookie Team 3-time PBA Scoring Champion However, one thing is still missing in the Terrence Romeo's list of achievements: winning a PBA championship. No wonder why he requested to be traded during this season's Commissioner's Cup as rumor has it. And we cannot blame Romeo's frustration towards GlobalPort's lack of success. Why? In 5 years that... ... See more

Meralco and Global Port could be cooking up a trade or are they really? 2 for 1 as Chris Newsome and Baser Amer could be shipped to Global Port for Superstar Terrence Romeo Even if we have not fully recovered yet from the Kia and SMB trade that instigated one of the biggest quandaries in the PBA today, here we go again with another potential blockbuster trade that could tilt the PBA and would certainly change the landscape of both teams that are involved.

Allen Durham Makes Crucial Basket to Lift Meralco Against Ginebra in Game 4, Series Tied 2-2

Ginebra Gin Kings falter late. Again Baser Amer made some crucial baskets down the stretch for the Bolts (Photo by the PBA Media Bureau) Just when Ginebra thought that they could sweep the series, the Bolts came out alive in Game 3. And just when the defending champions thought that they could take a commanding 3-1 series heading into Sunday's Game 5 at the Philippine Arena, the Meralco Bolts got the job done as they held on to win a close one in Game 4, an 85-83 victory against the crowd darlings which knotted the series at 2 games apiece. Right from the tip-off, it didn't take long until both squads started scoring. Justin Brownlee started things off with a dunk to energize the almost all Ginebra crowd as Joe Devance provided the early reinforcements as he drained two baskets, a trey and a 2-point basket to put Ginebra up, at 7-4 but the Bolts, coming off a much-needed Game 3 victory, roared back with 6 unanswered points to take a 10-7 advantage. The rest of t... ... See more

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

Blackwater's Walker and Maliksi Put on a Show and Forced a Rubber Match

Maliksi's game-winner forced a rubber match Henry Walker outperformed Allen Durham in this match-up. (Photo by the PBA Media Bureau) For the Blackwater Elite, a win here will give them another game to prove to the rest of the PBA that they do deserve being in the playoffs despite having no consistent superstar. For the Meralco Bolts, they only need one win to move on into the semifinals. For the Bolts, they cannot afford to allow the Elites to build any percentage of confidence in this game because if a team becomes confident that they can score on you no matter where they are in the standings, that's a dangerous team to play against. Wanting to prove their worth as they are in the playoffs for the second time in its history, the Blackwater Elite came out in the first quarter with an intensity that forced the Bolts to make shots that either clanked out of the ring or even miserably missed the net. On offense, the Elite were scoring on almost all sorts whether ... ... See more

Durham, Bolts Erase 18-point Lead, Stun SMB

Meralco Claims Number 1 Spot after Comeback Win Jared Dillinger scored 16 points off the bench to spark the Bolts' comeback. (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... ...

Durham's Triple Double, Newsome's 28 Lead Bolts

Bolts Winning Streak now at 3 Durham took advantage of an import-less Globalport team (Photo by the PBA Media Bureau) A win would mean many things for Coach Norman Black and the Meralco Bolts and one of those things is that they can snatch away the Number 1 spot from the league-leading Ginebra should the Gin Kings drop their game tomorrow and should the Bolts win on Sunday against San Miguel. On the other hand, a win by a Globalport Batang Pier team who is playing without their replacement import, Jamal Thomas, whom according to the PBA Commissioner's Office, has violated the height restriction and, their superstar Terrence Romeo would allow the Batang Pier to end the season on a high note. The first half between the Bolts and the Batang Pier was a roller coaster ride for both teams as the Bolts took an early lead until the Batang Pier, led by a rejuvenated Mac Cardona with 11 points in the first half alone, took the lead midway through the second quarter only to... ...
