Your source for the best in basketball
What happens when you cut the Commissioner’s Cup Semis into two parts, when you deprive Ginebra, San Mig Coffee, Alaska, and Talk ‘N Text fans an abundant source of joy and elation? You get 23,108. 23,108 rabid fans were crammed like sardines in the SMART-Araneta Coliseum despite the rain and [...] Read more »
WHAT THIS GAME MEANS: Before we start, can I just point out how hilarious Alvin Patrimonio’s face is on the photo above? Come on. That’s a meme waiting to happen. Seriously. Look again. Laughtrip. Okay, enough. Let’s start over. WHAT THIS GAME MEANS: The proverbial monkey is finally off of [...] Read more »
Monkey off back. Series evened. Alaska is back. Completely. Fully. No more Tim Cone asterisk. Now they’ve proven to everyone they can beat anyone, and finally have the boxscore to prove it. On a massive stage, against Cone’s Undertaker-Wrestlemania-like 9-0 record against them, the Aces showed us all who they [...] Read more »
He did it again. I don’t know how. I don’t know if he knows how. But somehow, some way, Tim Cone did it again. He beat Alaska. Once more, he stands taller than his former team, albeit slightly, after the escape act they pulled to open their 5-game semifinals series with a [...] Read more »

Not because he’s a really big man, but because the load he was carrying on his shoulders [...] Read more »
WHAT THIS GAME MEANS: Manila Classico. These two teams may not be the best teams in the league (SMC though is climbing the standings as fast as Shaina Magdayao gets new boyfriends) so don’t expect to witness the most beautiful basketball game of the year. But this is Manila Classico, [...] Read more »
And we thought the Manila Classico of all Manila Classicos was going to be close, like choosing between two naked Pokwangs (you really didn’t want to take a pick because choosing one over the other would make you look foolish). In the end, the 2006-2007 Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings [...] Read more »
We are down to two teams who will slug it out in the PBA Philippine Cup Finals. RoS and TNT. While the recently concluded Semis provided us with two grind it out series’, some players stood out with their sneaker game. Check out the TOP 5 headturners that broke necks [...] Read more »
