CARDONA LEADS TNT OVER RED BULL WITH CAREER-HIGH GAME

Talk ‘N Text 103 - Cardona 42, Peek 14, Castro 10, Dillinger 9, Carey 8, De Ocampo 8, Allado 6, Ritualo 5, Alapag 1, Escobal 0, Reyes 0, Aljamal 0.

Macmac wants to convince RP Team Coach Yeng Guiao to give him a spot on the Powerade Team Pilipinas. This isn't just a presumption, he actually said that it was really his main purpose.

"I work hard, I play hard, kaya ang game na ito parang message ko na rin kay Coach Yeng na I deserve to be in the national team," said Cardona after his explosive performance which led Talk 'N Text to a 103-93 win which brought them to a 5-5 win-loss card.

"Hoping pa rin ako," he stated. "Gustong-gusto ko kasing mag-national team. Minsan-minsan lang iyon eh."

Cardona's fans think so too. Actually, many people are still wondering why the tactician did not choose Captain Hook. Well, I'm sure he has his reasons. We just have to find out.


Quarterscores: 24-29, 44-50, 82-70, 103-93

PF vs. RB: the Sequel

Labels: , , , , , , , , , - Saturday, November 15, 2008

It was just any other day in everyone else's life, probably. But for James Yap and the Purefoods Squad, it was the opposite of an ordinary day. It was a huge win for them against the Barakos and it was won the hard way. I was fortunate enough to be able to watch the wonderful first meeting on the 8th of October live and the second meeting was not boring either. PF enjoyed a good time with an 11 point lead with about 7 minutes remaining. Sadly, they went scoreless for about 3 minutes and the Barakos woke up from slumber. They had completed a 13-0 run and led by 2.

James Yap, a born 3-point shooter, led his team to a 10-0 run which removed RB's hopes of winning. He had a game-high 27 points, having shot 11 field goals out of 16 attempts which includes 5 out of 8 from rainbow country. Kerby Raymundo, who just came from sickbay, and Enrico Villanueva had 14 points while former RB player Topex Robinson had 4 assists and 4 steals.

It was Gabby Espinas who stepped up for RB. He had a career-high 21 points while his teammate, Larry Rodriguez, chipped in 12 points for the Barakos who now have a win-loss card of 4-5.

Both teams played badly in the game's first half. Poor shooting and a combined 25 turnovers from both sides were the half's features.PF shot 34% from the field while RB shot 35%. PF finished the game with 25 errors overall, one more than RB.

Purefoods Team Coach Ryan Gregorio said that it is hard for his team's depleted line up to play efficiently. PJ Simon and Roger Yap are still out on sickbay as of the moment.
Scores:
Purefoods 80
Yap J. 28, Villanueva 14, Raymundo 14, Alvarez 8, Robinson 5, Bugia 4, Belga 2, Lanete 2, Salvador 2, Aban 1
Red Bull 72
Espinas 21, Rodriguez 12, Duncil 7, Chan 6, Ybanez 6, Sharma 5, Cruz 5, Baguio 5, Hrabak 3, Hubalde 2, Najorda 0
Quarterscores:
20-9, 31-31, 57-51, 80-72.

Guiao-less RB loses against Reyes-less SLR

Labels: , , , , , , , - Monday, November 10, 2008

With Coach Yeng Guiao in the U.S., looks like Red Bull is having a hard time. The team is now with a 3-5 win-loss card and under Gee Abanilla for the mean time.

In this game, the veterans of Sta. Lucia led the way. The team went back in the game after a 19-point third quarter deficit. Dennis Espino and Marlou Aquino combined for 11 points in the fourth quarter and Espino finished with 17. Paolo Mendoza, another veteran, finished with 14 points.

For Redbull, Gabby Espinas had a career-high-tying 20 points and 13 rebounds, Jeff Chan finished in double figures for the first time with 15 and Cyrus Baguio and Carlo Sharma had 13 and 10, respectively. But all of this faded in the latter part of the game which is quite disappointing since the team dominated at first.

The game ended with 83-80 in favor of SLR.

Highest scorers for each team:
  • Sta. Lucia - Williams 17, Espino 16, Mendoza 14
  • Red Bull 80 - Espinas 20, Chan 15, Baguio 13
