Sidepost: Devin Harris gets PWNED in UK

This video was circulating in the net for about a week now and since I wanna try posting a video in HooPH’s new layout I decided to post this one. (Oh God I hope I’m not gonna suck posting vids again) Anyway, this all started when a guy named Stuart Tanner played New Jersey Netsaaa

SYDMAN’S POWER RANKINGS (OCT 4 – 12, 2008)

WELCOME TO BIZAARO-WORLD! For a week-old season, the Philippine Cup has played a lot of games. A mean, with games played in awkward dates (Thursday and Saturday to speed things up), I think we can expect the conference to finish before even establishing itself. Nonetheless it has been a smoking start for the league. Thereaaa

PBA ASTIG RANKINGS (08-09) Week 1 – Kings of the Court

If you’ve been reading HooPH for some years now, you’ll know that this is not my original idea. Our Hoops “Astig colleague” Bionix is the innovator of the “Astig Rankings” and since he’s been inactive as of late, I’m going to do the “Astig Chores” for now. See? I love putting up the Astig word.aaa

Cuneta Chronicles: Photo Blog Post SMB vs Purefoods & RoS vs Redbull

This is blatant response & copycat of Chrisangelo’s Araneta Chronicles. From hereon Chris, sakin ang Pasay, sayo ang Cubao. I was at Cuneta last Friday’s doubleheader because I was so effing pissed that some goodhearted fellas took away the sidemirrors of my auto, I needed to get away. Good thing, Cuneta is a short PUJaaa

Rain or Shine, cellar dwellar no more.

Well atleast for two games. Don’t you just love how this team plays? After watching their first two games, I got the feeling that I’m watching the Golden State Warriors when they pulled an upset against the Dallas Mavericks some years ago. No what’s, no if’s, no BS. They just want to play and theyaaa

Roar or Soar? Who’s the best Collegiate team this year?

I really hate to do this mainly because of.. 1) They are from two different leagues so comparing these teams would really be pointless. They could meet at Champions cup but.. I don’t think both teams will play with a complete line up in this year’s Champion’s Cup. 2) I’m 100% certain that I’m goingaaa
