2014 is going to be a BIG year for Philippine basketball. This year will mark the first time two of our Philippine National Teams (Men’s and U17) will march onto the world stage and compete at the highest level of international hoops. Our very own Gilas Pilipinas squad will go to Spain and play in the 2014 FIBA World Cup, while the Philippine U17 Team, coached by Jamike Jarin, will troop over to Dubai for the 2014 FIBA U17 World Championships. It’s been reported that the Gilas Pilipinas brain trust is keen on tapping more players to join the pool, with the magic number pegged at 24. That...

The 2013-2014 PBA Philippine Cup semifinals shifted into high gear this past weekend with contrasting wins from Petron Blaze and San Mig Super Coffee. The Boosters caught the Rain or Shine flat-footed in Game 3 and throttled the Painters, while the Mixers relied on a decisive fourth quarter run to get back at the Kings and take Game 3. Marc Pingris came up big in Game 3 for the Mixers. This past Saturday, Petron Blaze ran roughshod over Rain or Shine, 106-73. Statement. That’s what this was. The Petron Blaze Boosters had a fast start, for the second straight game if I may add, but...

The 2013-2014 PBA Philippine Cup semifinals continued to roll these past few days, with Rain or Shine rallying in the payoff period to upend Petron and gain a 2-0 edge in their series. In the other best-of-7 affair, Ginebra solved the SMC puzzle with some good old 2-3 zone defense to take Game 2 in convincing fashion and tie their series count at 1-all. This past Thursday, Rain or Shine overcame Petron Blaze, 103-94. ROS actually seemed flustered for much of the match before uncorking a decisive 23-6 run in the payoff period to upend the Petron Blaze Boosters and gain a significant 2-0...

The 2013-2014 PBA Philippine Cup semifinals kicked off with ultra-entertaining games the past two days. Rain or Shine countered Petron’s size with speed to rout the Boosters in game 1, while fans were delighted last night with another awesome Manila Clasico match-up. Ginebra and San Mig Super Coffee engaged in a superbly-played back-and-forth affair, with the Mixers coming out on top and securing a 1-0 series lead. Two days ago, Rain or Shine overpowered Petron Blaze, 103-95. This time around, speed beat size, with the Painters going full throttle to run rings around the Boosters. Paul...

In front of more than 20,000 fans in the Araneta Coliseum, Gilas gunner Jeff Chan struck hard in the second half, scoring 23 of his 24 points as the Rain or Shine Elasto-Painters disrupted all plans of San Mig’s Game 5 title celebration, 81-74. Chan started, once again, struggling from the field, scoring just 1 point in the first two quarters, but he found his mark and went on a hot streak in the third period, where the Painters took the lead for the first time since the early goings, 48-46. It was a nip-tuck affair all the way till the end, but Chan and Paul Lee hit a couple of tough shots to...

Despite star forward Marc Pingris going down with a poked eye in the third quarter, the San Mig Super Coffee Mixers prevailed, 93-90. This was mainly due to rookie big man Ian Sangalang’s stepping up in the absence of Ping. Sangalang, the second overall pick in the 2013 PBA Draft, shot 8/12 from the field to lead SMC with 17 points. He also grabbed 8 rebounds. He was instrumental in the second quarter, teaming up with fellow greenhorn Justin Melton to erect a double-digit spread, and in the payoff period, where he helped the Mixers climb back from a 6-point deficit to steal the game and move...

#Whattafinish. Whether you’re a member of Bayan ng ROS or San Mig Coffee Planet, one thing’s for sure — you probably had a great time watching this cardiac ballgame. It was back and forth all the way, even when the Painters seemed to make a run early in the third quarter as James Yap got tagged with foul #4. After that, the Mixers came up with several big plays down the stretch that enabled them to squeak past their foes. Once again, Joe Devance came up big here, dropping 13 points on top of 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal. He is norming 13.0 points and 8.0 rebounds in the last two games....

In last night’s first ever (I think) Manila Clasico Game 7, Ginebra got badly outplayed by the tactically superior San Mig Coffee quintet. Couple this with the hot shooting of both James Yap and PJ Simon, and, well, it was a bona fide blowout. The Mixers advance to the Philippine Cup Finals against last season’s bridesmaids — the Rain or Shine Elasto-Painters. Marc Pingris raises his arms in triumph as the Mixers blow the Kings out in Game 7. Teamwork trumped talent. That’s what happened last night as the Mixers outclassed the Gin Kings in almost every possible way. Behind awesome spacing...
