Meralco Bolts: Jimmy Alapag is the New Bolts
http://meralcobolts.blogspot.com/2015/08/jimmy-alapag-is-new-bolts.html
Jimmy Alapag is the New Bolts. It is now official. Jimmy Alapag has unretired himself, joined the national team and is now a Meralco Bolts point-guard after a three-team trade. Initially thought of as a rumor. The PBA Commissioner's Office just approved a deal that would send the 36-year old long-time Talk N' Text player to the Bolts. Meralco will send Mike Cortez and James Sena to the Blackwater Elites, which in turn will send Larry Rodriguez to the Texters. The negative side is that, Alapag's transfer ...

Meralco Bolts: Opening the Doors for Phoenix Petroleum
http://meralcobolts.blogspot.com/2014/02/opening-doors-for-phoenix-petroleum.html
Opening the Doors for Phoenix Petroleum. Almost everyone knows that the San Miguel Beermen will be back in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) beginning in the Commissioner's Cup after the league’s oldest franchise decided to carry the iconic brand once more. San Miguel Corporation president Ramon Ang made the announcement to the press, which comes in time for the silver anniversary of the team’s Grand Slam feat in 1989. In any case, Phoenix Petroleum vice president for external affairs and busin...

Meralco Bolts: Bolts Bench Is Better, But Not Good Enough
http://meralcobolts.blogspot.com/2015/08/bolts-bench-is-better-but-not-good.html
Bolts Bench Is Better, But Not Good Enough. Keeping Clifford Hodge, Gary David and Jared Dillinger DeAndre were the most vital component of the Meralco Bolts' offseason, but upgrading the supporting cast around the team's stars was also of the utmost importance for coach Norman Black. The team's weak bench was a problem all season and was badly worn down by the end of the stunning Governor's Cup playoff collapse against the eventual champion San Miguel Beermen. One thing going for the Bolts is that Alapa...

Meralco Bolts: Ironcoach On Danny Ildefonso's Tanduay Deal
http://meralcobolts.blogspot.com/2015/07/ironcoach-on-danny-ildefonsos-tanduay.html
Ironcoach On Danny Ildefonso's Tanduay Deal. Among the things that will make a PBA analyst a 'must-listen' person are experience and candor. Fans want to hear from someone who has spent decades around the sport, and they also want someone who is not afraid to tell the truth, even if that means sometimes burning a bridge in the service of the basketball followers. It is not certain if a broadcasting future interests him, but I bet that everyone who listens and reads his pieces gained something important.

Meralco Bolts: Why is Ginebra Interested in Bolt's Substitute Import?
http://meralcobolts.blogspot.com/2014/03/why-is-ginebra-interested-in-bolts.html
Why is Ginebra Interested in Bolt's Substitute Import? The Meralco Bolts just brought in the burly Darnell Edred Jackson despite the good showing of Brian Butch. The reason for this is not clear, but there are some who believe that it was an insurance move just in case the 6'9" Butch gets injured or fails to sustain his good numbers. What will happen in the next couple of days will be interesting because of this, but for now we'll try to see who really is Darnel Jackson. Jackson was selected as the 52nd ...

Meralco Bolts: Will Blackwater Suprise Anybody in the Draft?
http://meralcobolts.blogspot.com/2015/07/will-blackwater-suprise-anybody-in-draft.html
Will Blackwater Suprise Anybody in the Draft? In the coming 2015 PBA Draft, Blackwater Elite will pick 9th in the first round, courtesy of the lopsided trade they had with Talk N’ Text Tropang Texters last year. They will also pick first in the second round or 13th overall. But the question is: will the Elite make any substantial improvement or try to break the record for the most number of losses by any PBA team in two consecutive seasons? Blackwater releases Larry Rodriguez – no surprises here, t...

Meralco Bolts: Alapag Joining Meralco Bolts as a Player?
http://meralcobolts.blogspot.com/2015/08/alapag-joining-meralco-bolts-as-player.html
Alapag Joining Meralco Bolts as a Player? There were several trade rumors circulating that tag the Meralco Bolts in the past. But the latest report is the most ridiculous and bizarre of them all, if not utterly incredulous. The word that goes around town a few hours ago came from an unlikely source - Blackwater owner Dioceldo Sy. In an article published by InterAksyon.com. The former Gilas Pilipinas. This whole speculation started after Alapag put on a Gilas jersey and joined the workouts out of the nati...

Meralco Bolts: Coach Black's Former Player Could Be An Option
http://meralcobolts.blogspot.com/2015/07/coach-blacks-former-player-could-be.html
Coach Black's Former Player Could Be An Option. The Meralco Bolts had to explore various options in order to fill that void in the center spot, which is one of the areas that coach Norman Black has been struggling to cover since joining the team last year. Reynel Hugnatan is just too small. James Sena is just too soft. John Ferriols is just too old. And the 2015 PBA Rookie Draft is just to shallow to include quality big men. He was also part of the Blackwater Elite team that denied the NLEX Road Warriors...

Meralco Bolts: Justin Chua Joining Bolts?
http://meralcobolts.blogspot.com/2015/08/justin-chua-joining-bolts.html
Justin Chua Joining Bolts? If reports are true, then it appears that what this blog has been hoping for some time. Now just came true. Multiple sources report that the former 10th overall pick of San Mig Coffee Mixers in the 2013 annual draft, Justin Chua, was just picked by the Meralco Bolts after he was released by the Barako Bull Energy Drink. With Hussaini, Chua and the resurgence of Kelly Nabong, the Bolts can now move veteran power-forward Reynel Hugnatan to his natural position and use Clifford Ho...

Meralco Bolts: If Defense Wins Championship, Bolts Are In Trouble
http://meralcobolts.blogspot.com/2014/03/if-defense-wins-championship-bolts-are.html
If Defense Wins Championship, Bolts Are In Trouble. Has there been a team that's been more brutally unlucky than the Meralco Bolts of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) over the past 4 years? What should’ve been a competitive team based around the core of 2008 All-Filipino Champion Sta. Lucia Realtors evaporated into thin air. If "defense wins championships" is even half-fact, the Bolts are going to have a hard time contending. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blast from the Past. Bolts' Impo...
