Wynne Arboleda a.k.a. "the snatcher" threw a few punches to a Smart Gilas fan which was apparently sitting only a few inches away from the court. This whole incident happened yesterday during the debut game of the PBA guest team(Smart Gilas) vs the Burger King Whoppers as BK won 115 to 105.
This “punch-a-fan” thing started when the fan was cursing Wynne maybe because he was hurting the Smart Gilas players. A few moments later after the foul was made, Wynne was provoked and attacked the fan with a kick and four punches. Luckily, the guy managed to defend himself and the punches thrown at him apparently missed but the kick hit him. Wynne already earned himself a flagrant foul in the first quarter before this incident happened.
After that occurrence, the 13 point lead of Smart Gilas vanished instantly. We were watching the game in Araneta and hoping for a blowout game for Smart Gilas but instead, it was a blowout game for the other team. All I could say is that the game was like an initiation for the boys. Sneaky punches were thrown, luckily for BK refs didn’t see it. Smart Gilas couldn't defend well because players are in foul trouble. I think every player has a foul and about at least four of them have 4 or more fouls. Even obvious flops for the BK players were called.
One more thing, Burger King should be called “Floppers” instead of Whoppers.
BTW, Here are some things Chris Tiu have to say about the game :
-"Today, we got clobbered, literally and figuratively, by the BK Whoopers! It was more of a boxing match than a basketball match. We expected it, but we didn't see it coming this bad."
-"For me it's not so much about the X and O's. It was their viciousness that got us out of our normal rhythm. 4 flagrant fouls in the first half and Winnie Arboleda's "attacking a fan" moment saw our 13 point lead disappear at an instant. Our players became hesitant to drive to the basket and dive for the loose balls. And that is what all coaches will probably instruct their players to do when playing against a younger, skinnier and faster team. It was a fitting initiation for us in our debut game in the PBA."

Tae si arboleda. Delikado yung ginawa nya dun sa flagrant foul. "Sahod" tawag dun eh. Buti di nainjure yung nag drive. Tae.
ReplyDeleteDapat talaga siya masuspend dahil "professional" basketball players sila. Pero di ko rin siya masisisi dahil may mga kupal lang talaga na fan minsan. Wag kasi ganun, off camera and off the court nalang sana siya gumanti kung mainit talaga dugo nya ^^
mali naman talaga yung ginawa ni arboleda 1 way or another. that is why they are called "professional" players. tama din ung sinabi ni dr j. na wala naman siyang ginawang maganda. tignan mo naman. delikadong delikado ung foul na ginawa nya.
ReplyDeleteok rin suggestion mo blaze ah.. off camera and off the court na lang? hahahaha! so ok lang sumapak ng fan pag walang camera at hindi sa court? hahahaha!
ReplyDeletesi arboleda na nga ung nananakit ng ibang players xa pa ung galit? wth? kung ako PBA suspended xa for the season. pero may point rin ung commentators.. you shouldn't sell seats that close to the action. they should be behind the railings kasi delikado talaga dun. i mean d lang ung pde kang masapak ng player, pde rin mainjure ung fans dun kasi minsan nagddive ang mga players para sa bola. gusto mo bang daganan ka ni asi taulava at dorian pena?? ako ayoko.. tapos ung security behind the railings pa so prone to attack talaga ung fans. heads up dun sa isang ref nakita nya agad ung balak ni arboleda at medyo mapigilan ng konti kaya lang ref lang xa hindi xa bouncer.. hahaha..
