Some would say, “Umm, sometimes when my schedule permits me.” Some would say, “It depends upon who are playing.” Some would even dare to say, “Who cares about the PBA now!” Personally, I lost steam in watching PBA since 2008 especially when, well Mark Caguioa’saaa

Ilang mga katanungan sa PBA

HooPh Tonite: Smart Gilas, Mas Ma-Gilas!

Smart-GILAS 98, PBA Powerade 69! Yeah, wala pong typo error dyan. Oo, exhibition lang yan. Isang fund-raising game para sa Ondoy victims. Pero daig pa ng PBA Powerade ang dinaanan ng bagyo sa inabot nila sa Smart-GILAS team. Isang all-amateur team.

Over-confidence + Rust +Poor Decision-Making = Ginebra Loss

When I turned on my t.v. set earlier, I found the GinKings leading 9-2 in the first quarter against Rain Or Shine.

TMCC, The Mark Caguioa Conspiracy

Minutes before the Gin Kings bagged the championship against the so young and AIR21, I’m not worried that the people’s team would lose but rather whether or not Mark Caguioa would be awarded the FINALS MVP. The first time Menk won the said plum over Mark was understandable since the former had the best gamesaaa

10-Point Must-Do for the PBA

Yep, the PBA is in a must-situation to propel the stagnant (if not regressing) state of the league to newer heights. Except with this conference finals between Ginebra and first timer AIR21, fewer people are getting hooked up with the PBA games. There are lots of instances where people says that UAAP is better toaaa
