Meralco Bolts 2017 Commissioner's Cup Schedule

Meralco Bolts Huddle
After three games, the Meralco Bolts were able to remain unbeaten. However, extreme caution should be observed since the first two games were against teams that consistently remain at the bottom half of the standings, while the last game was against TnT KaTropa that did not have Jayson Castro in the line-up.

Jared Dillinger understands this since the next schedule of games will be the real test. The next game will be against the defending champion Rain or Shine Elastopainters, who are also undefeated in three starts, then All-Filipino champions San Miguel Beermen and after that the Alaska Aces.

"It's a great start, but just like anything else, its a long season to go. It's nice that we’re 3-0, and try to stay ahead of the good teams because we still have a tough schedule ahead, but we still got long ways to go. We still haven't proven anything."

The good news is that import Alex Stepheson is getting better and more conditioned as the competition heats up.

Stepheson struggled to find his offense early in the first two games, but the locals have stepped up to mitigate his early shooting woes. Against the KaTropa, the 6-foot-ten center finished with 20 points and 27 rebounds.

"When we got a presence like Alex, it gives you confidence that you could be aggressive playing against their wings knowing that he’s got our back down low," said Dillinger who finished with 17 points, spiked by three treys.
