Walkout Thoughts

Monday, February 8th, 2010

I imagine a conversation between fans at the game TnT walked out of would've gone like this:

Fan 1: Pare oemgee! Nagwalk-out ang TnT!
Fan 2: Oo nga pre!
(Crowd hoots and gasps in collective silence as they watch the proceedings.)
Fan 1: Wow! (sits down)
Fan 2: Oo nga.
Fan 1: O pano, uwi na tayo.
Fan 2: Oo nga. Malayo pa ang (insert far away place here).

“It is unfortunate that the PBA teams play the National Team always looking to win.”

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Please find forthwith the latest news re Smart Gilas and the PBA from the PBA Sports Desk received this afternoon:

Philippine Basketball Association commissioner Sonny Barrios wrote the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas yesterday regarding the participation of the Smart Gilas National Team in the ongoing 2009-10 KFC-PBA Philippine Cup.

Barrios said the Board directed him to choose only between two options: 1) for Smart Gilas games to have no bearing even on PBA teams, and 2) for Smart Gilas not to play CJ Giles in any of its remaining games that will have a bearing on the PBA teams.

Is BonBon The 2nd Coming Of The SkyWalker?

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

I watched the SMB vs. Ginebra game last night and it was terrific. Anyone who reads this blog regularly (all 3 of you), knows very well that I find watching the PBA a chore and so therefore my watching is to be considered a feat in itself, let alone enjoying it. Last night, both were achieved, leading me to man up and say it out loud: That Game Was Terrific.

Of course, talking about the game will not be complete without mentioning the star of the show: Bonbon Custodio, erstwhile UE stalwart (and from which I remember him most), and now blossoming, if not already, into a crowd drawer and high flying hoop artist the likes of (I tremble when I say this) SMB Legend and the original Skywalker Samboy Lim.

Gary here again, getting ready for the game between Ginebra and Red Bull, starting in a few minutes.
7:28
at the moment, air21 is going to lose by 23 points against magnolia, and people are cheering a rare ken bono sighting.
7:28
He has already scored a couple of points, assuring the presence of his name in the newspapers tomorrow.
7:29
Homer Se of Air21 looks like he's going to be the player of this game, with 31 points, even if he suffered cramps sometime at the end of the 3rd q.
7:29
almost finished.
7:30
87-113, magnolia wins. Air21 played without an import.

8:34

they had played very well, judging from their record.
8:35
parada is injured, but they still have plays right?
8:35
can't they at least try to execute?
8:36

8:36

8:36

8:41
halftime, 37-50 ginebra.
8:53
commercials still folks.
8:53
(assuming there are any folks :)
8:54
this looks like a walk in the park for ginebra.
8:55
unless red bull can suddenly grow what bulls have between their legs (and there is no reason why they cannot), ginebra can chalk this one up as a W.
8:57
basketball being a game of surges, i assume red bull is still good for at least one run per quarter.
8:57
but again, if they resort to one on one plays and do not execute, that won't be for any good.
8:57
