Meralco Bolts' 2015 Governor's Cup Schedule

Andre Emmet
It was the closest that the Meralco Bolts was able to reach in its 5-year existence in the league, but it was still not enough. They made it to the Final Four in the just concluded Commissioner's Cup, but were convincingly defeated by the more experienced Rain or Shine Elastopainters in a 3-game sweep. It was a bitter pill to swallow, but it was also an indication of what the team can achieve given the right personnel and attitude.

In the coming 2015 Governor's Cup, the Bolts will be parading one of the most explosive import ever to grace the team, NBA D-League All-Star MVP Andre Emmet. The 6-foot-4 forward is expected to carry much of the scoring load together with chief gunner Gary David and Cliff Hodge. The team will also be reinforced by Iranian playmaker Benny Koochoie after their original choice, Mahdi Kamrani, had to attend to his pregnant wife.

No major changes were made during the lull period, but the old reliable has to step up and make some more improvement in their game if they want to reach the next level. The team is expected to beat the usual suspects (weaker teams), but unless they give the powerhouse teams a run for their money, the Bolts will have to settle in finishing at the middle of the pack.

The PBA office has just released a draft schedule, but there should be some more changes in two three days because schedule has yet to indicate when the Bolts will meet the Kia Carnival and last conference's runner-up, the Rain or Shine Elastopainters.
