Grind 'em out Game 1 between SMC & ALASKA ....... as expected, the refs gave SMC the crucial calls/non-calls over ALASKA.

It's always a mismatch when SMC & ALASKA meet ...... SMC has Tim Cone & the 3 guys in zebra uniforms.

Aba Allain malit ko na palang kainin ang mga sinabi ko, patay na discount ng 500 sa surround hehehehe, biglang tumigas crispy pata ko huhuhu

hehe...but it's still too early to tell. it's just one game. i'm sure norman black will make major adjustments tomorrow.

just noticed, though...taha seems to make life difficult for jerome jordan. i don't know if my observation is correct...

Was not able able to watch the smc alaska game and Just checking on score, i dont know if these 2 teams struggled on offense or they were just so good on d, i know alaska has been playing great d but the scores.. 11-7 after first qtr, 28-17 after first half. Cant imagine kung ilan lang nanuod nito ng live..

It was a great defensive game from both teams. No one giving an inch. There was just that one really bad call that ruined the game for me. That foul called against Casio on Yap's 3pt shot was a bad call. Yap kicked his leg back that's why it made contact with Casio. Lumayo na nga si Casio, inabot pa.

Alaska needs significant contributions from their locals. Hindi pwedeng panaka-naka lang. Someone has to play big in Game 2 to beat San Mig and the refs. Their outside shots have to fall. And I think it's about time Baguio shows up. I don't know if the back is still bothering him but he hasn't been himself for quite a while now. He seems lost.

it was a very low-scoring first half. i was able to catch up only the start of the third quarter, with the score at 27-22....and i thought it was only the start of the 2nd quarter.

Exactly ...... just a few teams have had sustained success against Tim Cone's SMC - and these are the great-passing, high energy teams of RoS & TnT.

It's hard enough to beat SMC on a grind 'em out, slow-down game (Cone plays a mean half-court defense, anchored by Pingris) ...... you also leave much room for the refs to screw you in the crucial stages.

When playing SMC, both RoS & TnT play hard, smart and fast ...... they run when the opportunity is there and do quick-shots with their smart passing.

Cyrus Baguio only played 20+ minutes during Game 1 ...... he usually plays in the 34+ min range. He also took a meager number of shots ...... it's very likely that still has those back problems.

============================================================================

It's bad enough that Kelly Williams & Ali Peek (IMO has become very underrated these days) are injured ...... it seems like TnT has lost Jared Dillinger to injury as well.

IMO TnT still has enough to beat BGK ...... but things just got a bit harder for Black.

1-1 na Ginebra-TNT. Locals na naman bida for TNT. Castro, Alapag and De Ocampo were big tonight. De Ocampo was clutch despite being in "foul trouble" all game long.

Anyway, pansin ko lang, yung mga "analystsr" ng PBA in the playoffs parang takot mawalan ng trabaho. Ang babait. Agree sa lahat ng tawag ng ref. Ang napapansin, mga magandang plays lang. You rarely hear them talk about what a team is doing wrong or what they should do to correct it. Yung mga analysis, lahat tungkol sa ginawang tama ng isang team. Ang boring pakinggan kaya I mute my TV when I'm watching the PBA these days. I wish they'd let Jolas cover the games again. With Jason Webb taking a leave due to the campaign period, wala ng matinong analyst sa coverage. Or they could bring back Andy Jao now that he works for MVP. He may mispronounce players' names but at least he knows how to cover a game.

Same here sir. Tv is muted but for a different reason. The tv is muted whenever "The Dean" says whatever it is he was supposedly talking about. "Yan ang sinasabi ko" o "yan ang sinasabi natin" na lang ang laging naririnig sa kanya. Whatever it is a player or a team is doing right, that is what he was talking about. Whatever a player or team is doing wrong, that is what he was talking about. He knows it all! And he is always right. He is "The Dean" after all.

anyway, all-star week break pala ang PBA. after today's game 2 of the alaska-san mig semis, the next game will be on may 8. who will benefit from it? both ginebra and tnt have injured players. the one week break is enough for these injured players to recuperate. good for ginebra, because it will give caguoia, tenorio and mamaril to recover. bad for them, too, because it will also give peek time to recover. james yap can rest his back...but the one week break can also affect their momentum. let's just wait and see....

Committed. That's the best word to describe Alaska's game tonight. They were committed to win. Committed to finally beat Tim Cone. Committed to play defense. Committed to play hard for 48 minutes.

If Game 1 showed why Bowles is the reigning Best Import, tonight's game showed why Rob Dozier will win it this time. He made his presence felt the entire game. 28pts, 27rebs, 13/16 FG. It was hard to defend him because he was never the focal point of the offense. He just moved without the ball, found his spots and crashed the boards. He always plays within the offense. Alaska is lucky Dawson and Mbenga passed up on their offers. Dozier is the perfect fit for them.

One more game done and still a lot of bad calls. It's getting worse instead of improving. I have to say James Yap had reason to be mad at the refs tonight.

Anyway, ang daming maganda na nanood tonight at MOA.

Oh, and Jared Dillinger is out for 3-6 months because of the injury he suffered when he had that car accident. Tough break for TNT. I saw Ryan Reyes hurting in the last game and Fonacier is still in a slump. If they don't get anything from their wingmen, that will put more pressure on Castro and Alapag. Jordan has to show up now. Di na kaya ng TNT locals ngayon. They are too banged up from playing in the PBA and for Gilas. Ginebra knows that and they will take advantage of it.

Like I've said, teams needs to play fast and hard to have a good shot at winning against Tim Cone's SMC ....... RoS & TnT have great W-L record against SMC, because they play hard and always keep the ball moving.

Last night, ALASKA played 'quick' when they had the opportunity ...... leading to many passing plays and/or putbacks for Dozier.

IMO Abueva played excellent denial defense/body check defense on Yap ...... sans the flopping of course.

I've seen much more forceful denial defense on Yap courtesy of Ibanes, Chan, R. Reyes, etc ..... heck, LA Tenorio was flopping most of Game 2 between BGK-TnT - nobody outside of Norman Black was complaining.

It's a famous Jaworski quote. Just like "This is you."

boredfilmmaker · « **Reply #530 on:** May 02, 2013 at 12:18 AM »

Nagpapaawa lang yan si James Yap. After they won Game 1, sabi niya ok lang yung physicality kasi semis na. Yung inisan nila ni Abueva part lang daw ng higher level of game sa semis. Nung natalo sa Game 2, nagreklamo. He was a non-factor nung Game 2 kaya ganyan yan. Even if he wasn't in foul trouble in that game, wala rin naman siyang magagawa kasi tira lang ng tira alam niya. Depensa kulang sa kanila nun.

Yap should take it as a complement that Alaska's best perimeter defender is guarding him. Abueva knows James is a key factor for San Mig and doing his best to defend him well is a show of respect.

Abueva took a beating the moment he entered the league. He never complained kasi it's sort of a rookie initiation. Sa ginawang pagreklamo ni Yap, parang sinasabi niya na okay lang tirahin ang rookie pero di sila pwede tumira.

brainwashed · « **Reply #531 on:** May 02, 2013 at 12:22 AM »

Magkaiba ang context ng pagkakasabi ni Jawo sa pagkakasabi ni Abueva.
Si Jawo ang tinutukoy ay ang natural na pagkakaroon ng physical contact sa larong basketball samantalang si Abueva ay para na ring sinabi na talagang intention niyang saktan si Yap.
Maswerte si Abueva at halos wala na ng mga tunay na tirador sa PBA. Takot na rin sa maaaring ipataw na suspensyon kung kaya't wala ng masyadong mga balyador at tirador sa PBA. Kung nagkataon di na kailangan pang mag-flop ni Abueva kasi talagang babagsak at babagsak siya. Ingat na lang siya at baka may mag-ala Menor sa kanya.

boredfilmmaker · « **Reply #532 on:** May 02, 2013 at 12:36 AM »

Pingris' statement is actually the one that's saying na mananakit siya.

"Parating mo sa kanya 'to: tignan natin kung sino ang physical next game," an infuriated Pingris told Spin.ph. "Abueva, sino ka para katakutan ko?"

"Parating niyo sa kanya to: next game physical talaga wala nang bukas 'to," he fumed. "Sino sya para katakutan ko, makikita mo (Abueva) kung sino si Mark Pingris (sa) next game.

"Next game tignan niyo na lang," he added.

It's close to a threat already.

i hate Abueva, in fact sa mga previuos post ko Im saying he will not shine sa PBA, I ate my words obviuosly.

But that overphysicality and thrashtalk he is doing now? a lot of players did that to him, worst in fact than what he is doing with Yap now but he has never complained, why is Yap complaining now, bawal ang iyakin sa basketball.
