Sir, Meron din kaya dvd ng PBA greatest games sa titan or other stores? 

meron sa odisi at video city brader. i just don't know kung meron pa. nakabili ako ng mga dvds na yan dati. (kasama sa nakulimbat sa akin). viva ang nag-release. ung mga lumang games, ang pangit ng audio at video. ang magandang quality lang is ung finals between air21 and ginebra (2008).

As expected, JB Baylon just resigned from Coca-Cola Philippines ..... the main dissenting voice against POWERADE's impending sale to SMC, is gone.

The ludicrous trade proposal of POWERADE's Lassiter for PETRON's Baclao/Guevarra will likely push through now ...... not unless a huge collective "hell no" from the PBA board will happen on the upcoming special meeting.

sad day again for us basketball loving people, i hope one day other members of the league would have the guts to put and end to this, while players get lucrative salaries, it is not helathy for them as well since the SMC teams get loaded with superstars, not evrybody gets to play, un fair for the players and the fans as well, too bad when a player gets traded, he can not say no and tell the owners, i want to stay

a well balanced team would have been great, more fans would return to loving the game and the interest in the pba would again be rekindled, good for the players, the fans, the advertisers

^ Sad development ..... let's wait for the result of the board meeting on MON.

In on-court related news ..... just an excellent game earlier between ALASKA & GINEBRA.

Big shot after big shot after big shot ..... starring Baguio/Tenorio and Caguioa/Raymundo.

first time i was able to watch a game that long and i was very happy i didnt missed it. kerby is indeed a bigtime player, i have seen him done the things he did last night over and over again, such a nice touch for  big man and im very happy to have seen Baguio playing like this, the guy seems to be thriving in the kind of play that alaska has currently

and what can i say about tenorio, he is the biggest smallest man, back to back 3 point shot with one completing even a 3 point play

so sad indeed that some executives fool around with people yet you have players who plays their heart out like this

Thanks brader A, sorry brader naalala mo pa tuloy yung mga collections mo 
Namimiss ko din kasi yung mga players & games na nagpapakamatay sa bola yung mga players, yung dinadive yung bola tapos hahampas sila sa poste or sa committee's table    tapos no easy basket!!! no blood no foul hahaha

Nanonood ka na pala uli brader    ganda ng laban kahit na talo yung team ko hehehe Sulit na sulit kasi talaga namang dapat ganyan laruin ang basketball, wala ng bukas-bukas pa, hanggat may oras pa, di pa tapos ang laban, dagger yung 4pt play ni L.A. - ang laki talaga ng puso ng batang 'to, manalo matalo ititira talaga nya!  Pansin ko lang sa plays ng Alaska kagabi, Ginebra-like yung plays nila, run & gun, pick & roll, paminsan minsa meron ding high -post triangle then back to pick & roll, yun nga lang lamang na lamang ang Alaska sa big men, injured pa din ba si Menk? kung di lang nag gain si Menk ng too much weight di sana sya madalas mag ka knee injury, marami pa din sana syang papahirapan sa liga...
Agree ako sayo brader, galing din ni Kerby, grabe buong buo din ang loob tumira sa mid range kahit na malas sa free throw, kung pumasok lang free throws nila kagabi, laki pa ng lamang nila pala...tapos di sila dapat nagfoul kasi lamang pa sila ng 3pts...mental lapse on coaching side-lesson learned

[anya618]

babalik pala si norman black sa pba to coach tnt, si chot reyes naman baka mapunta sa smart gilas team

[beknat]

mali ng ginebra inubos nila ang time-out nila, remember yung sinabi ng commentator, nagtime-out ginebra dahil binasa daw nila yung play ng alaska, ayun pumasok tira ni Tenorio, edi nagkumahog sila para maka-shoot.

Commisioner Salud vetoes Lassiter trade:

http://www.philstar.com/sportsarticle.aspx?publicationsubcategoryid=69&articleid=779654&keyword=sp_pba

Still think that the trade will still materialize, SMB wants Lassiter badly... I just hope for the sake of the fans that Powerade gets the right players to make the trade more balanced.

[jericm]

Petron will just revise or modify the deal...      Adding draft picks will do the trick, just like previous trades.

I dont think SMB/Petron will we willing to part with draft picks right now since they are seeing the next draft class as a very strong batch thus the reason they have been stocking on draft picks via trades.

They even offered Rabeh recently to the Air 21 franchise in exchange for their 2012 draft pick but nothing materialized.

A more logical choice for them is to let Rabeh and Noy for Lassiter and a 2nd round draft pick, or Rabeh and Yeo for Lassiter and a 2nd round DP or a straight up Lassiter to J Wash trade...

For me the first option makes sense to both teams:

Petron gets what it wants in Lassiter and a 2nd round pick which may become of great value since the draft is loaded an early 2nd rd pick can become a steal.

Powerade gets its much needed boost in the front to complement El Granada and Casio plus now the slot of SF left by Cio can be secured by a continually developing Sean Anthony who no longer be undersized as the 2 new ones will be already playing the 4-5 slots along with Kramer.

It is also good for both Baclao and Rabeh, since they will be given the playing time and the chance in Powerade unlike in Petron where there is no way they will get significant minutes with Arwin there, J Wash returning there or until Danny I retires. The sudden improvement of Rob Reyes' game will also hinder their growth...

Overall everyone is happy... I think a starting 5 of casio, david, anthony, kramer and rabeh with baclao and vanlandingham coming from the bench is somewhat competetive already... just my 2 cents

Petron will do anything to get Lassiter......

[-sniper-]

i hope it gets vetoed again. honestly, kahit sa ginebra pa mapunta si marcio. enough SMC manipulation!

[newwaveboy]

Yup, Noli Eala is hellbent on impressing his SMC bosses ..... stacking his 3 teams as much as possible, circumventing rules and professional ethics ..... all in the name of corporate dominance over the MVP group (no angels themselves). 

Both Bo Perasol & JB Baylon have gone on record, saying that they dont want to trade any of their core players .... so how come trade revisions for Lassiter are still pending?

It's very obvious that it's a top management thing .... and both COKE & SMC were caught with their pants down. 

The sensitive document that turned up was very incriminating in a pro basketball way ..... it confirmed that the POWERADE franchise was up for sale & that SMC had first dibs.

It's clear that SMC intended to pirate Lassiter as part of the franchise sale and/or before POWERADE comes under it's umbrella ..... it has happened before with COKE (Reavis, Hatfield, etc) and SLR (Williams & Reyes) courtesy of SMC & MVP respectively.

Veto any trade revision ..... leave POWERADE as is - a testament that any losing team can rebuild itself properly via the draft.

agree. besides, i believe petron has a number of first and second round draft picks next season. so, why set their sights of lassiter when they would have a lot of other choices next season. one might say that the draft picks next season will be a good addition to the current line-up and lassiter. but it is not a far-fetched idea for powerade to ask for draft picks before letting go of marcio. if i were powerade, i would ask for ALL the draft picks of petron for the next season in exchange for lassiter. this is one way of saying "HELL, NO!" to the trade.

[boredfilmmaker]

I'd rather not trade for Lassiter.. He really isn't anything special.. What he does for Powerade, Lutz and Yeo are already doing for Petron.. I'd rather take Casio over him.. or better yet, Sean Anthony.. those two have guts and heart.. Lassiter has more talent and better skills but he doesn't have that fire in him.. In my opinion, giving up 2 quality & young but rarely used players for him is more than enough.. giving up picks for him is too much..

Petron doesn't really need great players.. they don't need any more talent.. ang kulang sa kanila puso.. pa-pogi lang kasi yung mga star nila.. stats lang pinapansin.. on games that really matter, they disappear..

But what Petron really needs is a change in management.. alisin na yang may mga hidden agenda.. if that doesn't happen, I wouldn't be surprised if Ato Agustin leaves..

[rony]

Wag sana payagan yang trade ke marcio, ang lakas na ng lineup ng petron kahit sa sister team ng SMC mapunta yan di na magiging balansyado ang talents ng ibang team.

[ivannn]

talagang gusto makuha ng petron si marcio.

i feel sorry for JB Baylon rin kasi kung kailan gumanda ang takbo ng team na build up nila eh tsaka naman nagkagulo ng ganito...

[brainwashed]

I'd rather not trade for Lassiter.. He really isn't anything special.. What he does for Powerade, Lutz and Yeo are already doing for Petron..

So true but Lutz seems to be prone to injuries while Yeo is inconsistent. Furthermore, it seems the other teams have found a way to adjust to Lutz's style of play, thus Lutz's impact has been lessened.

I'd rather take Casio over him..

Casio has shown he can play with bigger boys than the big boys of the PBA. He will definitely help whatever team he plays for provided he gets the playing time.

or better yet, Sean Anthony...

Petron has already too many big men. A proper rotation of their big men would serve them better.

those two have guts and heart.. Lassiter has more talent and better skills but he doesn't have that fire in him.. In my opinion, giving up 2 quality & young but rarely used players for him is more than enough.. giving up picks for him is too much..

the new proposed deal is to give up Rabeh and Guevarra for Lassiter. IMO this is not a good deal for Petron. Rabeh was doing good in the conference they won until he was injured. They should give him time to jell again with the team. Guevarra is a very good offensive player who can provide them points if they need it. Petron just needs to devise ways to maximize their potentials.

Petron doesn't really need great players.. they don't need any more talent..ang kulang sa kanila puso..

I have to disagree with this! Most of their players have shown in the past that they have heart! Duda lang ako kay Cabagnot! siya talaga ang nawala nung last conference lalo pa in the last 3 games of their semis with TnT. But the rest, ang problema pa nga ay sobrang puso kaya ang tendency ay magkanya-kanya ng diskarte thus disrupting their natural flow and patterns!
 
pa-pogi lang kasi yung mga star nila.. stats lang pinapansin.. on games that really matter, they disappear..

But what Petron really needs is a change in management.. alisin na yang may mga hidden agenda.. if that doesn't happen, I wouldn't be surprised if Ato Agustin leaves..


Tama! patalsikin na si Eala!

[boredfilmmaker]

Save for Danny I, Denok, Lutz and at times, Rob Reyes, nobody else played all out every game last conference especially sa semis.. si Cabagnot at Arwind, nawala after that 3-1 lead.. and what's worse, they acted like it was all right when they lost.. hindi naman puso meron yung mga players ng Petron.. yabang meron sila.. it's sad really considering the kind of people they have on and behind the bench.. Ato, Olsen, Freddie Abuda, Bobby Parks, Pido.. all of them played their hearts out when they were still playing.. tapos Danny I led by example pa..

another down-the-wire finish for the gin kings in dubai, which almost slipped from their hands had gabe norwood made that desperation shot. gusto kasing maging bida eh...he still had 2 ticks when he released that shot. he could still pass it on to a teammate or could have gone closer to the basket.

Instruction pala ni coach Yeng ay no-foul & timeout agad once they got the ball...kaso nagmental lapse si Crews, pagkakuha ng rebound, imbes na humingi ng time out, he passed the ball to Norwood & went for the fast break, but sorry, ganon talaga, a win is a win ikanga

Chris Alexander has been replaced. Ginebra will be parading a new import this Sunday.

well, Ginebra has always been frustrated with balik-imports. IIRC, the last successful balik-import for the gin kings was bates and hackett (returning with bates in the 2-import conference). 

[ivannn]

Ginebra will be parading Jackson Vroman. upgrade yan as long as he is in peak condition =)
