The View From the Armchair: Games 5(ADU) & 6(UP)

Posted by Nel


The Green Archers hurdled their opponents last week with relative ease, beating the Adamson Falcons, 76-61 last Thursday, and UP Maroons, 82-60 last Saturday at the Philsports Arena. With the twin victories, the Archers logged their fifth and sixth victories after an opening day loss.

Game 5: vs Adamson

The Archers got off a slow start in the first quarter to allow the Falcons to taste the lead at 4-8 before closing the quarter ahead, 18-11. The DLSU defense limited Adamson to 11 points in each of the first two quarters to steadily pull away at the half, 35-22. After the halftime break, the Archers again started off on the wrong foot to allow the Falcons to pull within 5 at 34-39 midway through the third quarter. Coach Franz turned to a combination of veterans and rookies, with JV, Peejay, Rico and Maui collaborating to finish the quarter strongly at 52-41. In the final quarter, the team merely coasted en route to a comfortable 15 point win.

Shooting

The team’s three point shooting was average, as they hit 6 out of 18 attempts. JV was hot, with 3/5. Bader had …

UAAP Season 71: Green Archers clobber Maroons for 5th straight win.

Posted by Lesmes Solanoy

Displaying the team play that earned for them the championship plum last season, the DLSU Green Archers demolished the UP Fighting Maroons, 82-60, to claim their fifth straight win in six games in UAAP Season 71 Men’s Basketball at the Philsports Arena.

The defending champions limited their opponents to less than 20 points per quarter and scored 28 big points in the third canto in a game that saw all players donning the Green and White jersey entering the scoring column.

Both teams started slow in the first quarter hitting misses and committing several errors. But the Green Archers proved to be steadier and ended the quarter on top, 17-10, anchored on rookie sensation David Webb’s early 6-point explosion.

A barrage of three-pointers opened De La Salle’s offense in the 2nd quarter courtesy of a back-to-back triple from rookie Hyram Bagatsing and one from Bader Malabes that gave De La Salle a 14-point lead, 8:06 in the 2nd. With their opponents threatening to pull away, UP star player Woody Co ignited his offensive arsenal and scored 13 points, including 2 treys and breathed life to the Fighting Maroons. But De La Salle is just too much to bear for UP, as another Archer, …

UAAP Season 71: Archers Shoot Down Falcons

Posted by Nel

img_0709The Green Archers extended two winning streaks as they methodically wore down the Adamson Falcons, 76-61 at the Philsports Arena this afternoon. The win was the fourth straight in this season, and extended their streak over Adamson to four years. In UAAP competition, Adamson had last defeated La Salle in 2004.
The Archers unwrapped the Adamson version of their pressure defense as they hounded and harassed the Falcons throughout the game with a press and trap that netted 19 points off turnovers. So effective was the press off an Archer score that Adamson committed at least two 5 second inbound violations.

The Archers starting five of Simon, JV, Marko, James, and Joshua got off to a slow start, allowing the Falcons to take the lead in the early minutes of the game, 6-2 and 8-4, on inside incursions. James committed two early fouls, forcing Franz to field in Rico earlier than planned. Rico responded with three straight undergoal stabs and a free throw to singlehandedly grab the lead. Former Green Archer Galinato canned 1 out of 2 foul shots …

Coach Franz reacts to Montinola statement

Posted by Lesmes Solanoy

franz-interview“It was uncalled for coming from a senior board rep and I don’t think that is the right statement.”

This is Coach Franz Pumaren’s reaction on the recent statements made by Far Eastern University Board Representative Anton Montinola that came out in the Philippine Daily Inquirer regarding the decision of the National Basketball Referees Organization (NABRO) to suspend referee Bryan Tabanag, who officiated in the DLSU-FEU game last week, which the Archers won, 73-62.

“It is unfair for us, it is unfair for the La Salle community, it is unfair on the part of the officials also,” Coach Pumaren pointed out before the press after the Green Archers’ lopsided win over the NU Bulldogs last Saturday

The Inquirer reported in its July 18 story that there will be no replay of the FEU-La Salle match despite the sanctions imposed by NABRO on one of its referees. Montinola was quoted in the same article, as saying that “The FEU community has been victimized by this brazen act to manipulate the outcome of the game.”

“Pardon the expression, but definitely we were screwed. I’m glad the commissioner had the [courage] to act accordingly. …
