Rain or Shine coach Yeng Guiao renews his criticism of Meralco forward Cliff Hodge, calling him the “dirtiest player in the league” and “a danger” to other players. The remarks come after the Elasto Painters’ 85-83 win over the Bolts in a PBA Governors’ Cup game at Smart Araneta Coliseum on Sunday. Guiao’s comment follows an incident in the third quarter involving Hodge and Rain or Shine guard Adrian Nocum, which resulted in both players being hurt after a collision. In response, Hodge brushes off Guiao’s comments, indicating there are “no hard feelings.” Rappler also reports that the long-running disagreement between Guiao and Hodge continues, with Meralco taking exception to the coach’s language. Across the coverage, both sides link the latest exchange to the same third-quarter collision, but they differ in how they characterize it—Guiao condemns Hodge’s play, while Hodge downplays the remarks and moves past the animosity.
