In my short time playing in the Lub league and playing for Aguada is has been a pleasure but today was the most distasteful, disrespectful, unprofessional situation I have ever been involved in my entire 15 years of playing professional b-ball. #circus.

Tough loss tonight. We only played one half of basketball tonight which was the second half. Almost beat our opponent and the referees playing only one half of basketball. I like our chances next game. Make smarter decisions and cut out careless mistakes.

I know playing here Uruguay is not highest level of basketball a blind man can see that but to still be able to play at the age of 35 at a high level and compete for a championship for these great Aguada fans is an amazing blessing. Period. Thank you guys for the support. #Aguada.

Credit to Penarol. Honestly our opponent out played us in facet of the game and played better as a team. As for us it's extremely hard to win semifinals/championship with a new team and health issues and most importantly no practice time for chemistry.💚❤.

This is why Kawhi has been my favorite for years I've been saying this since he was with the Spurs. Actually he's the BEST in the league when he is HEALTHY. Straight killer that makes winning 🏀 plays on both ends. Stop the cristism he knows what he is doing.
Kawhi & PG-13 were ballin' in the @LAClippers W! #ClipperNation. @kawhileonard: 25 PTS (10/12 FGM), 9 REB, 6 AST.@Yg_Trece: 26 PTS, 6 REB

@DevInTheLab You can't pick up the left pivot unless you're going directly in the air for a shot or a pass. He picks it up and STEPS with the right to lay it up. This is a travel because he changes pivots. It looks cool but it's a travel at the end of the day. Ask any pro.

Great team win tonight! But we literally defeated Argentino and the Referees. We played 5 against 8 the whole night. I was happy we won the game for sure, but those refs tonight were embarrassing/unprofessional to the league the entire game. 😶😶.

Happy for this guy but will also miss him!! Got a chance to watch him grow in 3 seasons and it was nothing short of amazing! Three words that come to my mind about him, FEARLESS, COMPETITOR, WINNER. He was the best point guard this year easily @Joavalinotti.

Maybe it was a 🚶 and I can understand you guys being upset but don't be angry with me it's not my fault that the👮♂️ did his job and ended the ball game. The refs didn't call the supposedly travel that means they felt it was not. Let's go @lamaquinablanca.

Proud of the team! All year people were saying Penarol will be a bad team and they're not going to make the playoffs. Dealing with changing 3 import Centers and dealing with injuries all season. We still find a way. Time to focus and prepare for the Playoffs.
