Cyrus Baguio hits buzzer-beating fastbreak layup to tow
Alaska over Rain or Shine


Eric Dawson drops 37 points to carry Meralco over Talk ‘N Text
Cyrus Baguio hit a fastbreak layup in transition to beat the buzzer and give the Alaska Aces an 83-81 victory over the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters Saturday night at the SMART-Araneta Coliseum.

Baguio’s basket capped a thrilling endgame comeback for the Aces, who needed a desperation 25-foot three-pointer from Calvin Abueva to tie the game at 81-all with 10 seconds left in the game.

Rain or Shine set up a play for import Bruno Sundov for its final possession. But the attempt of the 7-foot-3 Croatian was foiled at the basket by Abueva, leading to a loose ball.

Alaska made the loose ball recovery and got the ball to Baguio, who raced downcourt past three Elasto Painters to score the game-winning layup.


Eric Dawson has served notice.

The Meralco import scored 16 of his 37 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Bolts to an impressive 99-92 victory over the Talk ‘N Text Tropang Texters in the Commissioner’s Cup Saturday night at the SMART-Araneta Coliseum.

Dawson added 14 rebounds and four blocks for the Bolts, who squandered an 18-point first half lead before recovering in time to turn back the Tropang Texters.

“We played Talk N Text at the right time. They didn’t have extensive practice together and they have two new guys on their roster,” said Ryan Gregorio.

“We, on the other hand, were practicing a long time. Eric has been practicing for us for the past three weeks.”

PBA || Full Game Highlights || 02/08/13 || [GlobalPort vs Petron] & [Barako vs San Mig Coffee]

GlobalPort Batang Pier (94) - (92) Petron Blaze Boosters


Barako Bull Energy (79) - (75) San Mig Coffee Mixers
Source: http://www.rappler.com/sports/21357-rappler-fastbreak-globalport,-barako-escape-with-stunners
Best: Sol Mercado gets a double-double, Justin Williams actually has some offense, Gary David erupts for 28, and Japeth Aguilar justifies the playing time. What’s not to like if you’re a Batang Pier?

Worst: Chris Lutz getting injured. It’s confirmed – he has a broken rib. Get well soon, Mr. Lutz. Oh, but if you’re looking for something awful ON THE HARDWOOD, then how about Arwind Santos’s 1-of-9 three-point shooting?

Maybe Japeth was right after all: Aguilar, in his first game after getting traded by Talk N Text, and after his ill-fated stab at an NBA D-League career, scores 16 points, pulls down 9 boards, and blocks 4 shots, including a big one on Jay Washington in the endgame. He was solid down low after Williams was sent off in the third period. Looks like Aladdin got his wish.

Best: The Josh Urbiztondo-Evan Brock connection. That alley-oop early on was mighty nasty, and their combined production wasn’t too shabby as well – 35 points, 21 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals.

Worst: Both Alex Mallari and Mark Barroca tried their hand at playing point guard tonight. Both failed miserably. Their combined stats – 9 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 turnovers, and 5 fouls in 57 minutes. Oh, and 3-of-14 from the field. No wonder Urbiztondo and Jonas Villanueva were smirking all night.

So the guy who advised SMC to let go of Urbiztondo and Villanueva should be looking over his shoulder now: Both those guys used to alternate at the floor general position for SMC/B-Meg, but they got let go – Urbiztondo before this season and Villanueva in-between conferences. If they felt some bitterness, who could blame them, right? Thing is, I don’t think they’re feeling that bitter right now. Uribiztondo continues his rise with a near-double-double, while Villanueva relished in the extended freedom of movement.

Gilas Pilipinas: from PARA SA BAYAN to LABAN NG BAYAN

If we get to the
FIBA WORLD CUP:


Rafe Bartholomew's  "Philippine's unlikely affair with basketball" 


needs to have a sequel
that says: 


"a Match Made in Heaven"
Picture
The Philippines is became known for boxing because of our fighters making it to the international stage... but then, only a handfull of people in the nation actually box. 

If the Philippines finally gets to FIBA World Cup... we become known for BASKETBALL, then that would finally achieve what Rafe Bartholomew has been trying to do... to show the WORLD that the Philippines's  "unlikely affair with basketball" has actually turned out to be a "Match Made in Heaven". 

Yesterday, the pool of 17 that will be taking on that extra burden of carrying the nation. 

The next 6 months are critical. In the next 3 months, while the Commissioner's Cup is going on, this group will only be meeting once a week. Its a good thing that they have 15 guys who are familiar with of Coach Chot's system, (7 of which play it all year round). Only 2 need to learn it, within the next 3 months, before they go to training camp in Lithuania. 

In Lithuania, they are isolated... they are focused... it's their training camp. After this, they go on and spar. 

Then they come back and play in the PBA All Star Weekend... going against team who we could almost be sure, would feature other more popular PBA stars. They also play Yao Ming's Shanghai Sharks. They would also invite teams from other middle eastern countries...And finally, they defend the Jones Cup title... before coming back home for the ULTIMATE BATTLE here on our own turf.  As it gets closer, I'm sure the pressure will mount... but unlike preparing for a Championship in the PBA... a loss here will be heartbreaking, not just for them... but for the whole nation. Because this is the LAST CHANCE... to finally break out of Asia, and into the World Stage. 

The hardest part of the climb is the push to the summit... where you have to find that extra ounce of energy and drive to overcome all obstacles and get to the top. You are at that part. And when the Final Battle comes... you'll be playing in at atmosphere unlike never before. This time, the WHOLE CROWD will be cheering for you... and unlike a Ginebra vs BMEG in the PBA or an ADMU vs DLSU in the UAAP where half is for, and half is against... this time... EVERYONE - the bands, the streamers, the tshirts, the screams... will all be for you. 

We're in this together... We're supporting all the way... Go Gilas! Go Pilipinas! 

It's no longer PARA SA BAYAN... it should be LABAN NG BAYAN... #PUSO

Remembering Karlo Maquinto

This was a video reaction to Carlo Pamintuan's article: 
Underdog Boxing: A year without Karlo Maquinto http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/293251/sports/opinion/underdog-boxing-a-year-without-karlo-maquinto
To the boxer I never knew...

Nothing haunts more than a bunch of "WHAT IFs" and nothing hurts more than the self recriminating "IF ONLY".

Upon the anniversary of that crucial fight, Marvin Somodio posted a picture of him with you, on his FB profile... 

Upon the anniversary of your death, Carlo Pamintuan wrote an article trying to describe the effect you death had on the people closest to you... 

These 2 moments made my tears rush up, and though I may be a year late, that of emotion spurred me to try to get to know you a little bit more and in my own way, pay tribute to one who my friends found an "inspiration".

[Full Upload] The Princess and I - The Royal Fair- Championship Game 3 - 01.27.13 

1/28/2013

0 Comments

 
NOTE: Despite the full game, I was only able to record til the last 2 min of the 4th quarter. The rest was taken from kababayantv.info
The Princess and I Royal Basketball Championship Game happened January 20 at the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena and Team Gino of Daniel Padilla won and were hailed as champions beating Team Jao with a final score of 100-94.

Picture
Team Jao, composed of Enrique Gil,  Khalil Ramos, Young JV and UAAP's Bobby Ray Parks Jr and Jeric Teng, dominated the 1st half of the game with a score of 47-43 after the second quarter. However, Team Gino led by Daniel Padilla with Joseph Marco and UAAP's Ryan Buenafe and Jeron Teng played hard on the second half, making 57 points versus 47 of Team Jao, enough for them to be declared champions of the royal basketball game.

UAAP's Jeron Teng and Daniel Padilla were named Best Players of the game but Daniel's journey to the trophy did not go smoothly. After making a crucial shot, Daniel was accidentally hit by Bobby Ray Parks when he tried to block the latter from taking a jumper, resulting to extensive bleeding of his lower lip. 

Daniel Padilla was rushed to the hospital after the game and reports said that his lower lip got stitched. Meanwhile, Kathryn Bernardo, in an interview said she was worried about what happened expressing  concern on her love team partner.

Princess and I is now on its last 2 weeks, with the finale episode airing this February 1 on ABS-CBN Primetime Bida.

AKTV Insider - Finals - Rain or Shine vs Talk n Text - 01.27.13

SORRY... TAKEN DOWN DUE TO COPYRIGHT ISSUES (again)... 

The last part of AKTV Insider... featuring the last 2 teams... 

It may have been a sweep... it may have led to TNT achieving HIS3... but this documentary still showed the very essence of why Filipinos are so passionate over basketball... it shows how intricately it is woven into our society... and through it all... the lessons learned from both teams... of how to play together... how to strive through hardships... how to put "team" first... 

If these lessons are remembered... then this film would have achieved what it set out to do. Because for us Filipinos, basketball is not just a sport... its a way of life, right Tio Paeng?
