On a sidenote, it's very ironic and troubling that Kim Henares' husband is team manager of SMB (IIRC he was with SMCorp farm team AIR21 before).

It's IMPOSSIBLE that SMB (together with PFOODS, BGK and the MVP teams) can maintain an ultra-loaded roster and coaching stable without exceeding the PBA salary cap.

Since these teams offer side-contracts / under-the-table-deals to their players, that's income tax evasion right there ...... daang matuwid ba ito, Mrs. Henares ?

True! As they always say, pare pareho lang talaga. Kanya kanyang gimmick sa kanya kanyang panahon.

End of Q1, SMB leads by 9 ..... Like I said, if SMB gets hot on the long shot, it's likely they get this game.

Too many weapons on SMB's part and ALASKA's defense is giving them the long ball.

Engot na coach si Austria. He should have better rotation of players. Sobrang pagod na si Fajardo at Santos, kaya nahahabol sila.

Great game for Alaska, sayang. Last full PBA game I've watched was probably in the 90's still. Now ko lang nakita maglaro si Abueva. Idol.

Ngayon lang ulit ako nanood ng championship because of SMB, ngayon ko lang nalaman 14 years na last nilang All Filipino Cup. Galing din na Alaska hayop humabol ng lead nakakakaba yung series, unpredictable!

If I were SMB management, I wouldn't be too happy with this win. Delikado si Leo Austria tingin ko. I've never seen such poor player rotation lately. Buti na lang pumasok tira ni Arwind kahit gulay na sila ni Fajardo. But a win is a win so congrats to SMB. At buti na lang malas sa FTs ang Alaska kung hindi talo sila!! 13 missed FTS I think.

But I am now officially an Alaska fan. Ibang klase yun puso at grit na ipinakita nila sa series. Yan ang nami miss ko matagal na mula ng mawala ang dating Ginebra ni Jawo.

Abueva is grit personified. Yan ang puso ng mga dating PBA players. Patay kung patay. Laban lang. That last defensive play was all Abueva -- forced a jumpball on Fajardo and WON THE TAP. Alaska could have won had JV made that 3 point shot.

ang ganda talaga ng laro up to the last seconds, di mo alam cno mananalo, classic game eto.

congrats to San Miguel Beermen! new champions... they deserve it,except coach leo austria, binabad sa game si fajardo, pagod na pagod.

kaya nanalo kc minalas ang alaska, tira ni abueva at casio, pati free throw ni hontiveros at tira ni thoss sablay.

anyway, mas masarap ang beer ngaun kesa gatas,hahaha.

i was hoping for overtime

kung naipasa lang sana kay abueva yung bola, extend pa inuman. hehe

mattia · « **Reply #140 on:** Jan 21, 2015 at 10:30 PM »

I thought Rain or Shine was the new Ginebra pero dun sa pinakita ng Alaska and with players like Abueva, Eman, Manuel, Exciminiano plus sila Thoss, Dondon, Jazul it's gotta be Alaska. Galing!!

rusty · « **Reply #141 on:** Jan 22, 2015 at 12:00 AM »

classic series!

Hanep ang 12-man rotation ang Alaska, laging full court press.

Fave full court presser: Exciminiano.
Sayang, ang daming mintis na FT ng Aces $:-\$

Sana isali sa national team si Arwind, lahat na ng magaling payagan na nilang sumali

Still salty, but congrats to SMB!

Yes, Arwind Santos deserves to be the MVP. Big time players hit big time shots. He somehow lost his touch in the 2nd half mainly due to exhaustion ( because of his coach's poor rotation ) but he managed to hit that go ahead trey. Wow. Galing! Reminds of another similar three he made when he won the championship for FEU vs DLSU.

I don't think it was really poor rotation on Austria's part. It was basically a gamble, a coach's decision. It was the last game of the series and coaches usually go with their big guns. Fajardo and Santos being too tired had nothing to do with playing almost the entire game. Professional athletes are expected to be able to play the entire game or at least pace themselves to last the entire game. Fajardo was more spent than Santos since he had to work on both sides of the floor. Santos had the luxury of staying outside the shaded area during their offense. In the end, Austria's gamble paid off, barely.

This series really showed the importance of conditioning. Alaska was the quicker team for almost the entire series. They seemed to have the energy to play another game after each game ended.

Pareho lang siguro ng conditioning level. Mas mahaba lang talaga ang rotation ng Alaska. They give 11-12 players significant minutes every game, while SMB has the more conventional 8-9 player rotation.

Alaska: (rotation players in bold)
PG: Casio, Jazul, Banchero
SG: Baguio, Exciminiano
SF: Abueva, Hontiveros, , Dela Rosa
PF: Manuel, Dela Cruz, Espinas
C: Thoss, Eman, Menk,

SMB
PG: Cabagnot,Ross, Fortuna
SG: Lassiter, Pascual
SF: Lutz, Tubid, Omolon
PF: Santos, Semerad (DNP in game 7?), Chua
C: Fajardo, Kramer, Maierhofer,

Alaska needs to rotate more players because of their pressing defense.
