Penny's Heroics Give Coke a "W"

Each and every team right now is trying to avoid being in the 9th and 10th spot in the team standings. Yes, unlike the past conferences, there won't be any eliminated team. But, then again, being "up there" will give a team a lot of advantage. Being in the top 2 means automatic semifinals berth. Being in the bottom 2 means a twice to win disadvantage. Last night's 2nd game was a significant game for both teams.


Coca-Cola, ranking 8th in the conference now, needed last night's game to avoid being 9th while the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters could've almost assured a semifinal berth if not for James Penny, Coke's import, who scored 30 points, the last three of which came from rainbow country with 1:42 left.


Every thing must be earned the hard way as they say and last night was really hard for both teams; so hard that they even needed another 5 minutes just for a team to win. Overtime, my friend. They needed overtime. And how did that happen? It was all thanks to Penny of Coke and Sol Mercado of Rain or Shine.


Just when the Tigers were near to losing at 81-83, with five seconds left, their import came to their rescue, hitting a three-pointer and was fouled while making the shot. He, then, calmly took the bonus free throw which made them on top by 2 points. Problem was, at the other end, Sol Mercado was fouled by Alex Cabagnot. Due to the penalty situation, he took 2 free throws, both went in. CCT had another chance to win the game within regulation but Mark Macapagal missed the shot which ended regulation at 85 all.


It was almost a double overtime but Penny did not allow it. The game ended with CCT leading by 3, 94-91. We still have to give credit to Jai Lewis though who had 30 points and 22 rebounds and Nic Belasco who had a very quiet 17 points.


Because of ROS' loss to CCT, it's conference record is now at 8-6. They are now experiencing their franchise's  first ever final four appearance. They have a slim chance for the semifinals berth if supposing that Ginebra loses its last 2 games. Meanwhile the Tigers is still in the race with Alaska in avoiding the 9th spot.


Coke (94) -- Penny 30, Belasco 17, Macapagal 13, Taulava 10, Telan 10, Buenafe 8, Cabagnot 4, Singson 2, Calimag 0, Dimaunahan 0.

Rain or Shine (91) -- Lewis 30, Mercado 23, Isip 10, Reyes 13, Laure 6, Norwood 5, Tang 2, Salangsang 2, Arana 0, Dulay 0, Ibanes 0, Wainwright 0.

Ginebra rocks Lucena. :)

Tangkilikin ang sariling wika!

Yan, Tagalog tayo! :) Anyway, game kanina sa Lucena, Quezon. It was PBA on tour. First game was Rain or Shine vs. Air21. Won't tell who won. Watch the replay. :)) Second game was Ginebra vs. Coke.

I'll talk about the second game, ok?

So, basically, nung start ng game, Ginebra was ahead. Actually, the first half ended with Ginebra being ahead with 17 points. Tapos yun. Nagising ata ang CCT before the halftime ended.

Nung fourth qtr, sobrang dikit na ng laban. A lot of timeouts were called. A lot of fouls were given. In the end, Jayjay Helterbrand made the shot which was the game's turning point. The "Never Say Die Team" won. :)

The score was 77-81 in favor of Ginebra. Best player was Jayjay Helterbrand with 28 points. :)

Team Standings:

Alaska: 6-2
San Miguel: 6-2
Rain or Shine: 5-4
Purefoods: 4-4
Air21: 4-5
Red Bull: 3-4
Sta. Lucia: 3-4
Coca-Cola: 3-5
Talk N Text: 3-5
Ginebra: 3-5

Philippine Cup Opening!

To be honest, I was very frustrated. I was waiting from 3:00 but it started so late. I came from my retreat and was tired, of course. I was so sleepy too. But I just couldn't miss it! It was my first time to watch the opening.

It was fun. Well, quite boring to be honest. But fun because I missed PBA so much and wanted to see them all back. I looked for Macky, Jondan, and PJ first. Then, the rest. ;p

Makisig Morales was there, and also the little Red Lions from San Beda Mendiola (why can't they get the Little Red Lions/Indians from SBCA? Why Mendiola? The kids from our school are much cuter.. ;p) Also a player from Ateneo, is he in highschool? The ambassador from US was also there! Her name is Christy Kenny I think? I'm sorry for the spelling if it's wrong, all I know is her name's pronunciation and her face.

The parade went on and on and on. Pokwang's muse for Coca-Cola. She had her grand entrance. Iwa Moto was muse for Ginebra. Iya Villania was muse for Purefoods. SMB had 3 muses. Shocking. :)) It was Rufa Mae Quinto for Air21. I can't remember the others..

I saw the new players. Was shocked to see PF's lineup so different. Felt weird seeing Rain or Shine. I'm not used to that name. I'm used to saying Welcoat or Dragons or the team that beat PF 2 times last conference. (frustrating.. super.)

I watched the game. It was CCT vs. TNT. I missed PBA so much. But, unfortunately, I was unable to finish the game because I fell asleep. ;p

So glad PBA's back! Hope to see Purefoods and Ginebra fighting for the AFC Championship trophy! :)
