JOJO Lastimosa trained his guns at Jericho Cruz in a fiery post-Game 4 tirade that had him go all-out at the ex-Adamson star
Lastimosa didn’t appreciate Cruz’s antics in San Miguel’s 105-91 win over the Tropang 5G on a rainy Sunday night at the Mall of Asia Arena, and he certainly made his feelings known in the scrum right after.

“Parang bastusan eh. ‘Di naman dapat ganun, lahat naman tayo naglalaro ng basketball eh, but he was showboating,” Lastimosa told reporters after the SMB win that left TNT with a mountain to climb in the PBA Philippine Cup Finals.
Cruz, who finished with a game-high 23 points on 6-10 shooting, was highly animated with his celebrations all game – often using his fingers like guns, before holstering it into his waist in celebration.
Lastimosa even went as far as to how Cruz has ‘problems,’ that’s why he’s projecting on the court.
“The guy has his problems. I know he has problems, dinadala niya lang sa court.”
Not even the fact that they spent time in NLEX together from 2019-2022 would make Lastimosa hold his tongue on Cruz – even comparing him to a child
“Magkasama kami sa NLEX niyan with Coach Yeng [Guiao], pero dinadaan niya lang sa yabang lahat eh,” he said “Wala munang kaibigan dito, wala munang kaibigan, and he’s just acting up, he’s just like a little boy.”
