The Hypothetical Smart Gilas 2013 Machine

Kudos Smart Gilas Pilipinas! Despite the so-called “National Heartache” that you’ve given us according to one overzealous writer, it would never account to the sense of pride and happiness that you’ve delivered to Filipino basketball fans when they saw you competing and beating some of the best basketball teams in Asia. But if there’s oneaaa

Adamson finally wins over Ateneo

Get my daily servings at www.sydrified.blogspot.com! A 29-game, decade-long mastery over. The stepladder format scratched. Worst beating this season.

Who Can Beat Ateneo?

11 games in and no one has still scratched the perfect record of UAAP three-time defending champions Ateneo de Manila Blue Eagles.

Bruuum, Bruuum, Bruuuuumfield!

In Game 2 of the best of 5 semis (Commissioner’s Cup, 2011), Nate Brumfield goes “eat my dust!” to the men of Smart Gilas. Whoever said he was inconsistent should think again. For the record, I think Nate has pretty much made AWE-SOME performance this conference despite a bout with boredom or homesickness, as reportsaaa
