Powered by: CoveritLive

5:09	hello eveyone, gary here again.

5:10	i have a meeting later at 630pm, but there is NO WAY im gonna miss this game.

5:11	to all who are unaware, admu has still to lose.

5:12	meanwhile, I have yet to see a team as hungry as FEU

5:13	does FEU have something to prove? will winning or even getting to the final four actually change anything that has happened to Baracael?

5:13	of course not. Baracael's situation is still horrible. It's even been said to be the darkest day in Phil. Basketball history.

5:13	but will it stop FEU from giving it their all?

5:14	of course not as well.

5:14	FEU played like heroes the last time, and today they're coming up against the best.

5:15	The starting five has been announced for both teams.

Steve and Baron Have A Lot Of Time On Their Hands

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Ok before you watch the video, I'll explain it first. Step Brothers is a Will Ferrell comedy, and IBeatYou.com is a website where people challenge each other in all sorts of ways. Steve Nash and Baron Davis are both regulars there, and they often receive (and accept) challenges ordinary people throw at them, with varying results.

Now, someone made a 'Best Movie Spoof' challenge, and Nash accepted. So:

PBA BEST-OF-7 AND OTHER TRIVIA

In 6 of the last 9 times and 9 of the last 15 times in a best-of-7
series 2 teams were tied after 4 games - 5 in the Finals and 4 in the
semis - they went on to be decided by a Game 7.

HOW IMPORTANT IS A 3-2 LEAD IN A BEST-OF-7 SERIES AFTER A 2-ALL
SPLIT? Since the best-of-7 series was introduced in the 1982
Reinforced Conference Finals, 25 of 32 teams (or 78%) which won Game 5
after a 2-all tie - 25 of the 32 in the Finals -- went on to win the
series, with 14 of the 25 clinching the series in Game 6, the most
recent Talk 'N Text against Red Bull last year's Fiesta Conference
semifinals.

Since 1999, 19 of the 21 teams which took a 3-2 lead in the
best-of-7 series (after a 2-2 split), or a higher 90%, went on to win
the series, with 12 of the 19 clinching it in Game 6.

Pinoy Sports Blogs and Focusing On What’s Important

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Just wanted to give a big shoutout to friend and business associate Neva for firing off Admiralpye Plays, her brand new sports blog featuring an old love of mine, Tennis!

This joins a few other fave sports blogs such as Jaymie's TheBullRunner (excellent domain name btw), which chronicles stuff going in and around local running, mostly 3k, 10k and up to 100k in her case (wow, right?). I was lucky enough to make her acquaintance during a parenting - related event of all things.

In the basketball category, I'd have to give a big thumbs up to inbounbass.com, which has resources to die for, such as top notch images and videos of whatever's going on, including interviews and events plus of course, games themselves.

FEU Is Spelled R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Fernandez I've always liked the FEU team even before the Arwind Santos days. This is a team that really understands the game. Obviously well - coached they seldom ever hang their heads, never dwelling too long on errors or looking like they don't belong - because plainly, they do. Amongst the elite teams in the UAAP, the FEU Tamaraws bring a tough and very high level of game year after year.

As I write this, the FEU players are headed towards their dugout - many of them with tears and their eyes. At the start of Season 71, I mentioned how I didn't even know who they were. Today, I will never forget the names JR Cawaling, Benedict Fernandez, Mark Barroca, Robert Kave, Marlon Adolfo etc., because they played with a level of intensity I HAVE NEVER SEEN SINCE I CAN'T REMEMBER ANYMORE. Forget the NBA Finals, the UE vs. FEU game that ended a few minutes ago brought me near tears myself. It is quite plainly, the closest thing to a perfect game I've seen in years.

Of course it's one thing to say that, and quite another to show stats to prove it, but unfortunately since those are still to be published in the papers tomorrow, I'm only relying on memory when I say that at one point, UE was shooting 50% and FEU an astounding 70% field goal percentage. Not only were offenses clicking, but defense was terrific as well, which is amazing for any one team, but BOTH TEAMS? AT THE SAME TIME? That is just incredible.

Thoughts On DLSU vs. UP; FEU vs. UE

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Our Basketball Viewing Options Today, 26 July 2008, Involve the ff.

UP vs. DLSU

- I just wanna say a few words about UP. ABS occasionally show teasers after games with lots of flashing lights and way too much pumped up music, featuring different teams one by one with lots of interviews of coaches and players. Anyway, they got to the UP part and I was almost falling asleep, but then Woody Co said a few very insightful things. Being a Chinoy, he is very honest (Chinoys usually are, imho, quite open with whatever's on their minds), and he said that last year, there were times when he just wanted to stop playing (in the middle of a game), pack up and go home.

He then went ahead and talked about how he sees himself not doing that anymore, being older, and part of the seniors of the team now whom the rooks and coaching staff will be looking at for support. Of course he needs to say that, being a puff piece, but it sounded to me like a boy turning into a man, and was worth hearing nonetheless.
