Chino Trinidad’s Cliche and Bias Factory
I think I speak for everyone when I say that Chino Trinidad is a douchebag. Though I appreciate what he’s done for the PBL, his strength definitely doesn’t lie in his ability to cover a basketball game (or any sport for that matter). Truth be told, every word that comes out of his mic almost always devoid of any technical insight that can spur even the minutest of Ahhhhhh moments.
“Ramdam na ramdam ni <insert name here> sa suntok ni<insert name here> ang lakas ng buong sambayanang Pilipino”
“Yan ang lakas ng isang <insert name here>”
Quinito: I think the Celtic bench is turning out to be underrated, and the Laker bench is turning out to be overrated.
Chino: Bakit hindi nalang yung buong Lakers team?
Bakit hindi nalang yung buong Lakers team?
What kind of commentator says stuff like that on air? Though I understand the need to relate to the masses, is this really the best we can come up with? You can find a thread about all that crap here.
Don’t get me wrong, the Celtics deserve to win games 1 and 2 fair and square, but to the words above I say — STFU Chino Trinidad. I don’t know if you saw the first Garfield movie, but if my memory serves me correctly, Odie was made to wear an electric collar (which was activated on cue every time he refused to perform a trick). If there was such a thing for people, and if Chino was made to wear it, I’d definitely pull the trigger every time he starts greeting anyone on air. That would really make a lot of people feel better. Lolness.
Game 3 is starting in an hour or so, and I’m glad I don’t have to settle for someone who keeps a book of nonsensical terms in his back pocket.

Yes, Chino Trinidad sucks… you don’t cover NBA Championship games and say stuff like that on air. Lakers are overrated? Fine, they didn’t play like Western Conference Champs in games 1 and 2 against the Celts.. but WTF?! And he was implying that Kobe isn’t a team player, that he doesn’t pass the ball… whatever man. I hope the Lakers win the finals, that should shut that stupid fuck up.

chino trinidad, what is happening to you?! Please avoid using bias words On Air. If you are in dead air, kindly use “informative fillers” about the team of Boston Celtics or LA Lakers or simply the game itself, an anchorman or commentator should avoid using bias words… “Yay!”

Alvin, I am a sportswriter and I have always covered Chino’s league since I started being a sportswriter.
Chino is a brutally frank person and what he says on air is a reflection on his personality.
Although I admire him for what he has done to the PBL, I think he has to tone down on his frank statements on the air especially when he covers an international event for Filipinos like the NBA Finals or a Manny Pacquiao fight.
I hope Solar does not get him to cover the PBA Games for RPN-9.

AMEN!
another favorite of chino trinidad is the word “puso” and it’s become annoying. it’s rare that he doesn’t mention this word in covering the PBA. i haven’t watched his NBA coverage but i’d like to bet that he has used this word. come on, man! can’t you think of any other expression?
his approach may appeal to some but there are times that he’s trying to push kanto-speak on air.
bring back joe cantada!

Why are we putting commentators like that on NBA championship? they sucks! I bet they dont how to play basketball in the first place. They talk as if they know everything about basketball. Please next time let the real commentators (Americans) do their thing. We will learn more how the game is played, unlike those two guys.

MR. CHINO TRINIDAD is a one-sided person! I just want to share this stuff … He released a memorandum on PBL Teams and Management that for this coming season , he restricted the AGE Limit of PBL players to 24 years old and below. Do you ever think of this MOA? Many veteran players will loose job and he never give any “warning” on this fucking rule. On the other hand, he’s giving newbies a chance to play in PBL but still , this is not a good deed to admire of. YOU REALLY SUCKS CHINO!! Better be a businessman than be involved in SPORTS coz’ you don’t have a HEART!!!
