Danny I says sorry, SMB extends series

Last night was the unforgettable Game 6 of the 2009 Motolite PBA Fiesta Conference Finals against SMB and BGK. The big dome was painted white last night with all Ginebra fans wearing white to show their support for their favorite team and in response to the instruction from Asst. Coach Allan Caidic. It was an extremely NOISY game, Ginebra fans cheering their hearts out especially when their favorite players made difficult baskets or long three-pointers.


Ginebra fans seemed confident, I heard a lot of people say that SMB will take their sad loss.. Hey, where are they now? Haha. Sorry, I'm not a biased fan.. I just hate it when fans become too overconfident for their own good. Anyway, SMB won last night. I have no idea how they won or when they started to take the lead. (*annoyed* was too busy to watch the game.) All I know is that they won and that Danny I was interviewed as the best player of the ball game.


The interview was wonderful though, I don't think any part of the game would top that. Danny I answered a few questions first but then, suddenly, things went to greeting his family members, all Ilocanos, and even those who take care of his chickens in his farm (according to my aunt, they own a farm). He said hi to his daughter Sophia and his 2 boys. (forgot the name! sorry) Later on he apologized to the fans saying that he's only human and commits mistakes. When he was being interviewed, I was teary-eyed. Dang, he's one of my PBA idols! When I watched him live for the first time last May, I couldn't help but clap and cheer my heart out even if I didn't know him that much! Also, I love him as a father, he's a great father.. I do hope and pray that his daughter gets well soon..


Danny has already expressed his sincere apology to Mr. Nervandez and to the fans, I hope that this issue will never be a stupid issue ever again. Some fans commented badly last night when he committed a grammatical error. I say, stop it! So what? Are you perfect? Even Americans who speak English each and every efffing second commit grammatical errors! To Mars with you! Maybe, just maybe, they're too bitter since their team wasn't able to take the Championship trophy last night. This is one of the things I hate about some fans, they always look for ways on how to embarrass a player. Oh whatever, what's done is done. Game 7 tomorrow, don't forget! Also, Powerade Team Pilipinas' first game on the 18th. And today is our first anniversary. LOL. (Macky and I) I got addicted to him starting July 16 last year.. Share! :))

OMG, thanks daddy!

Daddy Ryan G. and I have the same idea! (Oh please, don't ask me why I call him that.) This is exactly what I've been pointing out to fans with whom I had arguments with! Ok, people seem to think that Coach RG is a bad coach since PF has some of the league's most talented players still the team failed to make it to the Semis or the Finals in the last three conferences. They always put the blame on him, don't they? But this is what we, Coach RG and I, believe in:



“Talent alone is not enough to win games. Players must know their roles on the team. Otherwise, we will not succeed."


I was so shocked when I read his statement since we have the same point-of-view on the matter. Yes, they might have the talent but if they don't know their roles, they would never ever win championships. The players might have all the talent but it seems that they don't even know what they're supposed to do yet. It doesn't rely fully on the coach you know.


I've said it before and I'll say it again. PF has a lot of star players but that doesn't mean that they'll perform their very very very best every game.. Look, it isn't Coach's fault that players miss freethrows or whatever baskets ok? *sigh* As the PBFantasy promotion said, don't pick the players just because they've made their names famous in the league. Pick players who perform well but don't require that much money. It's a good example of what I'm saying. Yes, PF does have it's star players but that does not mean that everyone must expect them to be champions every year! THAT'S ALL.

The Facts, not RUMORS.

People just don't believe facts, don't they? Ok. First off, I got the "inside stuff" from a friend's text message. At first, I didn't believe it that much.. Many don't until now. Some forum posts from Ginebra fans have a lot of questions like where did you get that Danny's daughter issue, etc, etc.. I was confused because of those posts! But, finally, some sort of confirmation came.. Here's a tweet from Ms. Patricia Hizon about the issue on Danny Ildefonso and Mark Pingris vs. Mr. Nervadez and in response to a fan's question on how she knew about the insider thing...

The fan said a bunch of P words and F words and flashed him the finger many times. He insulted Danny's daughter who has cancer

Danny I's daughter has been suffering from (I think) cancer. For that man to use that to try to distract Danny is just EVIL


The press people were saying it and They said danny revealed it when he went to the press room to explain after the game


Is posting tweets illegal? I'm really sorry, so pissed off since people just don't believe me.. :)) Anyway, hope these would clear things up.

Danny I's explosion

Danny Ildefonso is one of the most respected active veteran players in the PBA today and seeing him that mad after Game 2 of the Finals against Barangay Ginebra at a fan would just make you feel shocked. He seems like this cool and calm guy and witnessing that scenario was just plain shocking. One would ask himself, what the hell did that fan do to make him that angry? Also, why was Mark Pingris, another fan-friendly type of player, also involved in that sitch?


Thanks to an info from a friend and from Ms. Patricia Bermudez-Hizon's blog, things were cleared. It seems that the fan, by the name of Ferdinand De Guzman Nervadez first taunted Jay Washington by saying vulgar words and the never-dying dirty finger. Seeing no success, this fan focused on Ildefonso by shouting, "Mamatay sana anak mo." We all know that his daughter has cancer and is one of the reasons why Ildefonso missed the 2009 All-Star Game. And any father who'd hear that statement would be totally and madly enraged!


I understand the side of those people who say that the two should have just let it pass but I guess I can side better with Ildefonso and Pingris. Come on! Put yourselves into Ildefonso's position, you're a father who's trying to make yourself stronger in facing these challenges, trying to be optimistic and just desperately praying for your child's health and betterment and now there's this jerk who shouts that at you? Oh my gosh, that's simply unforgivable for a dad.


About the penalties given? Damn, I hate to say this but I firmly disagree! After asking Danny and Mark to pay 30, 000 and 10, 000 respectively, they're gonna be suspended? Oh come on! The jerky fan wasn't even given any sanction, not even asked to stand and face the wall for a minute or at least suspended from watching the game due to his effffing behavior. Alright, I'm "quite" one-sided. So sorry, can't help but be one-sided! I just haaaaaaate what happened!


Chandler's benching.

As usual, I'm gonna share something again. I've seen this just a few minutes ago and I'm sure that this will make things clear for all Purefoods parokyanos. This is about the quarter finals' game 3 against Purefoods and Rain or Shine.

Rene Pardo at 7:30 am June 21
So long as Im handling the team, chandler will never be our import again. I ordered his benching as he was a liability and a distraction to his teamates.


That statement is actually from facebook. One of my fellow onliners asked Gov Pardo why Chandler was benched during the game's most crucial quarter. We all know why though, since Coach RG thought that he was acting like a brat; now, we know who instructed him. And through The Dean's article, we know the real reason behind Chandler's attitude that game. So, everything clear now? :)

it's me and coach rg against the world.

Coach RG's gonna continue coaching the Giants, that's final. Well, at least this says so..


Purefoods board governor Rene Pardo told GMANews.TV that he instructed coach Ryan Gregorio to possibly trade one of its marquee players in exchange for a rookie that they can pluck out in the first round.

So, what's the reaction of PF fans? I'll quote a few.

I could go on, but I might end up throwing my laptop against the wall if I don't stop. So let me just leave with this parting shot, a quote from Ryan Gregorio at the beginning of the Fiesta Conference: "We had problems in scoring last conference. I hope with Allado and Canaleta on board, our inability to score can be addressed." Well, that didn't work. Maybe next time he could learn how to draw up a fucking play.

but just the same, we're F*CKED UP!

there will be a lot of fans that will leave the team because of the same system and with the same head coach that made the same boring plays. I would rather watch a barako bull againts coca cola , than PF powerhouse with the same old plays handled by a genius coach that was just hoping for luck every game.
till when we will wait for a change? what do we need as fans to to be heard by the management? we were bored with this kind of coaching!!! better disband the team than to watch them losing under this GENIUS COACH!

My reaction? YEYYYYY! I've been fighting for Coach RG ever since the day that I became a PF fan. Why? I don't know either. I just feel for him everytime. Actually, I was attacked by many "PF fans" when I said my opinions on Coach Ryan. Sorry, I like him and I'm willing to be kicked out of a forum just because of defending him from weird fans, fans who say that they've been fans since '88? Well, again, I'm sorry 'cause I don't give a damn. It's not about how long you've been a fan of a certain team, it's how you support them. Here are some excerpts on the argument. There are so many more, but I'll just post the links. Anyway, I don't really expect that you'll even care but I just want to share this.

bakit sa mga tao mo lang din sinasabi yan neneng? bakit hindi mo din sabihin sa sarili mo, minsan kasi kung gusto mong igalang ng ibang tao ang opinyon mo, igalang mo din muna opinyon nila, kung ayaw mong masaling sa forum, wag ka magreact, at kung ayaw mo mapersonal dito sa forum, wag ka din mamersonal,
fair enough db? Saying things like uncivilized sa mga nagpepersonalang fans is mali naman ata.

nagets mo naman siguro ang sinasabi ni bang db? hindi lahat ng sinasabi ng mga nasa forum ay tama at hindi mo din kailangang sagutin ang lahat ng sinasabi nila, hirap naman kasi, naglalabas sila ng frustration nila, entra ka naman at kokontra at kapag pinatulan ka na, sasabihin mo umakto ng matanda, be matured 1st bago mangaral, ok neneng?

This was written by an SMB FAN, in short, NAKISAWSAW SA ISSUE. I can't believe that they have the guts to say that I'm immature (hey, he says I'm not matured right?) Even my precious AHC says I'm a lot mature for my age. And who the hell is this guy? An SMB fan who's about 25 or even above? To Mars with him! I just haaaaaate these people. Here are some links on arguments about Coach RG in my former home, PBA Online. (I know reside in Pinoy Basketball Addicts)
There are so many more threads about him, I'm sure. But since I wasn't a regular onliner before, I didn't see them early enough. I hate fans who're like this, I swear. There was actually a time when I wasn't able to sleep well because of these efffffers. Dang, I don't know what else I could say except that I'm happy that Coach's staying. :D Come on, who wouldn't be happy if one of your inspirations' gonna stay doing what he loves? (He and Coach Ronnie are both from UP. They are the people who inspire me to try my best in the upcoming UPCAT.) People don't know the real reason for the team's loss, I think I do but, of course, I'm not spilling it. :))

what a trade!

Burger King traded some players with 2 teams under the San Miguel Corporation, Purefoods and Ginebra. The team gave Cyrus Baguio and Homer Se to get 2 future draft picks to be drafted in 2010. They also exchanged Celino Cruz with Aaron Aban of PF. Fans have a lot of things to say about this trade. Burger King fans protested even if the management can't hear them. Their stand on the trade? Why trade Baguio and Celino? Why get Aaron Aban? Well, I'd say, those questions are for Coach Yeng Guiao and BK's management to answer. We'll have to see what these players can do tomorrow. Nonetheless, I'd say that the trade was a complete surprise and was very shocking. Ginebra fans have expressed their happiness in the Baguio addition to their lineup.. Question is, what about Homer Se who has done "some damage" to their players in the 2008 Fiesta Conference Championship Series?
