With the San Miguel Beermen’s two-game win streak last week anchored on monster performances by Jay Washington, I was quite sure that he will be considered as a strong candidate for the Player of the Week honors by the PBA Press Corps.

In one of the televised games of the San Miguel Beermen, TV anchor Ed Picson mentioned that he saw Dondon Hontiveros an hour earlier before the game in the venue. And why is he so early? He was there to sharpen his shooting skills.

During the PBA’s opening ceremony, there was a segment that featured the new PBA’s official lifestyle magazine called Offcourt. It immediately called my attention as our very own Dondon Hontiveros and his son Isaiah Miguel were on the cover page.
After a loss in its debut game of the season, the San Miguel Beermen then stormed back strong and went on to have a three-game winning streak. At this point in time, it’s great to recognize the players who contribute to the team’s wins.
Let’s take a look at the players who played well in each of the statistical departments.

Danny Seigle was nowhere to be found during the game against the Talk N Text Tropang Texters. Courtside reporters also never mentioned any reports about him raising speculations that he is going to be traded soon.
I was in search for answers as to what is really happening. The best information and analysis that I could get is from a known SMB insider Than, an SMB fan himself also.

Tonight’s ballgame will test the mettle of the San Miguel Beermen against a talented young squad in Talk N Text Tropang Texters. Talk N Text is one of the teams considered by most coaches as a powerhouse team so this fight should be an acid test for the Beermen.
It’s interesting to note that these two teams engaged in a trade deal during the Rookie Draft Day. SMB traded its first round 3rd overall pick to in exchange for bigman Jay Washington. Talk N Text then used it to acquire Jason Castro. In today’s matchup, we shall see if they made the right decisions in choosing these players, at least for this ballgame.
