Your source for the best in basketball
How many times have you gotten into an argument with a friend over who is the best center in the league? Or the best shooting guard in the league? Or even, who is the best sixth man? Heck, we even have an award for the first guy that is deployed [...] Read more »
SLAM PH’s PBA Power Rankings have been dusted off and excavated from our treasure chest! But instead of ranking on-court misery or brilliance, I’m going to count down the best and the worst jerseys in the League. The rankings were determined by my exquisite sense of basketball fashion (if ever [...] Read more »
Welcome fellas to the quarterfinals. After maybe the most entertaining and the most controversial elimination round we’ve ever had in the League, it’s about to get damn serious. The quarterfinals is where we separate the real contenders from the fake ones and with a bunch of competitive teams stacked in [...] Read more »
WHAT THIS GAME MEANS: A lot. It’s quite complicated. If the Elasto-Painters win this one, they automatically get the Bolts in the quarterfinals with a twice-to-beat advantage. If they lose, they get Barangay Ginebra San Miguel with BGSM needing to beat them twice. Now, they can practically choose with all [...] Read more »
WHAT THIS GAME MEANS: For Rain or Shine, this game is about putting one foot in the twice-to-beat advantage door. If they win this one, they’re at least guaranteed of a playoff for the second seed (if they lose their last assignment and Petron wins their last two). For Barako [...] Read more »

There were only four games last week but as ho-hum as that may be, those games were enough to clear things out. Global Port will finish at the bottom. Meralco, Air 21, TNT, and SMC seem to be all stuck in the middle. Petron, still without a replacement for Renaldo [...] Read more »
Another Superball Sunday is in the books. This one made a little more super by the fact that it was Easter. That means it’s back to work for us again tomorrow. Tapos na ang maliligayang araw.Unless of course cooler talk with the workmates makes you happy, in which case, the fun [...] Read more »
WHAT THIS GAME MEANS: Basag-trip Air 21 is on a winning streak. Twice against Barako to bookend the run, and shockers over San Mig Coffee and Alaska to fill the sandwich. As for Rain or Shine? They’re doing Rain or Shine things. Quietly putting wins together, inching to the top, [...] Read more »
