Tidbits: Oh, Romeo!

This boy was on FIRE!

A star is born.

Terrence Romeo, in just his second professional game, went Gary-David-mode en route to game-high 34 points on a blistering 6/9 shooting from three.  And he didn't only score, he scored very efficiently.  His shot selection was excellent and he didn't force shots.  He was aggressive, forcing hapless Air21 big men into fouls.  He picked his spots well, especially from outside the arc.  Step back J's, swishing threes, Romeo really brought on his A-game tonight.

We all knew that Romeo was good, but no one saw this coming.

Check out this statline:

34 points, 10/17 FGs (59%), 6/9 3-point FGs (67%), 8/9 FTs (89%), 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, only 2 turnovers, in 32 minutes.

Wow.

FACE-OFF:

Asi Taulava - 21 points, 15 rebounds, 35 minutes.

Erik Menk - 7 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 27 minutes.

Asi won this one, but does it even matter?

KEY PLAYER:  Terrence Romeo

I chose Romeo as my key player pre-game, and boy was I on-point in this one.

(Ex) TIGER WATCH:  Joseph Yeo

Yeo had an excellent game, scoring 24 points, with 7 rebounds and 6 assists.  This guy is a legit scorer, and I just can't help but wonder how much greater he would've been if he was plunged into a main scorer role like this much earlier in his career.  He was really held back in all those years he spent with Petron.

FLINTSKY PREDICTS:

1.  If GlobalPort limits Air21 to below eight 3-pointers, they win the game.

 Air21 was only 4/14 from behind the arc.

2.  GlobalPort rookie RR Garcia only shot 1/5 in his pro debut.  He will be able make at least 3 field goals in this game.

RR was only 2/7 in this game.  He did add 4 assists and solid quarterbacking in 22 minutes.

3.  If Joseph Yeo and KG Canaleta are limited to a combined 30 points or less, GlobalPort wins the game.

Yeo scored 24, Canaleta added 11, for a combined 35.  Still, GlobalPort won thanks to a certain wild-haired rookie.

4.  The game will be decided by 8 points or less.

Game was close at halftime, with GlobalPort only ahead by 2, but then Romeo happened.  Final margin was 14.

5. If Global Port scores 20 or more in at least 3 out of 4 quarters, they win the game.


GlobalPort did better than that, scoring 20+ points in all 4 quarters, including a 36-point explosion in the 3rd canto.


FlintSky's score - 2/5 - Failed.

I've never been happier to get a failing score.

Roar Out.
