If there’s any team that lost some scoring that bad, it is the FEU Tamaraws. Gone are RR Garcia and Terrence Romeo. That’s 35 points gone (22.2ppg for Romeo and 12.8ppg for Garcia), not to mention the 10 combined rebounds they pull and almost 7 assists they dish out. Mark Belo has to double his season stats for last season, as well as Mike Tolomia, for the Tams to remain in the thick of things. Belo was a beast with 9.1ppg and 7.6rpg playing just a shade above 20 minutes. Tolomia pulled in 9.4ppg, 4.8rpg and 3.6apg subbing in for 25 minutes a game. Can you imagine the production they can dish out given an extra five-10 minutes? I believe in a way that it will offset the production lost from Romeo and Garcia, while bringing a whole new punch for the team. With Russell Escoto set to come back from injury and with Roger Pogoy’s continued rise, they may even have a better team. Now if their management can all move on from creating ungodly rules and focus on their sports programs instead. – Pio Garcia
