Great shot by miller but i would like the series to go to 7 games the way its been going, dikit ang labanan. i am definitely not rooting for Alaska on thisone, i have been a die hard Purefoods fan since 1988 and they have been a big thorn for my team during the patrimonio-codinera era for PF. the memory thatalways comes up to me was the foul they called on bong ravena against cariaso, anyway never realized parang Lakers pala ang Alaska dito sa NT, madaming fans,nasan na mga Ginebra fans?

Anyway si Willie Miller lang at si Larry anggusto ko sa alaska, good thing Tim Cone's been giving minutes to Larry and he have produced in those limited minutes.

 

[marcuskicks]

Miller is a beast.

Hope TNT will push this up to Game 7

i still remember that play sir jepeh21 was talking about...when bong ravena fouled jeff cariaso..it was one of my most memorable pba moment hahaha...i think hewas still a rookie back then. Was it an alley oop play with 0.6 seconds or rebound play? The next thing i know was Ed Picson was Screaming " may foul?!may Foul?!"

After two freethrows.. alaska 96'AllFilipino Champs! all the way to the grandslam!

RAIN OR SHINE BEATS SMART GILAS-RP TEAM

Reyes, Fiesta import Clark leads Elasto Painters in close exhibition win

Sunday, 08 February 2009

Jay-R Reyes' hook shot in the lane broke a tied game and Sol Mercado came away with a key defensive stop as Rain or Shine subdued a tough Smart Gilas-Philippine Team, 84-81, Sunday night in an exhibition match at the Araneta Coliseum. Even with import Charles Clark in the roster, the Elasto Painters were push to the limit by their young rivals and needed a great effort in the fourth quarter to claim the victory. Their three years of experience in the pro league spelled the difference in the game that had been dominated by the Nationals for most part and which was only decided in the closing seconds. Just when Rain or Shine appeared to have the game well under control, big man Rabeh-Ahmed Al-Hussaini knocked in a rare 3-point shot with 53 seconds remaining to tie the game at 79-79 and gave the RP Team a fair chance of winning. But Reyes quickly dismissed the Nationals' threat, scoring on a tough hook shot in traffic 11 seconds later. Mercado, the third pick in last year's PBA Draft who was acquired from Alaska prior to the season, then blocked a driving JV Casio on the Nationals' next possession and wingman Jireh Ibanez scored on the transition to make it 81-79, sealing the victory with 28 seconds left. On his second tour of duty for Rain or Shine, Clarkscored 20 points on a 10-of-16 shooting from the floor and Reyes added 14. Solomon and Mark Isip had 11 points apiece and Gabe Norwood, the leading Rookie of the Year bet, contributed 10 points and eight boards for the Elasto Painters, who outrebounded the Nationals, 54-46, and gained a 23-10 advantage on turnover points. Assistant coach Alex Compton called the shots for the Elasto Painters as head coach Caloy Garcia was still on vacation. Dylan Ababou poured in 19 points, Al-Hussaini added 18 and Mac Baracael and Casio had 15 apiece for the Nationals, who appeared comfortable playing under pro rules. On Wednesday the Smart Gilas-RP Team of coach Rajko Totoroman held Burger King to a 95-95 draw, thanks in part to Mark Barroca's 37 points. Exhibiting tenacious defense, hustle and great passing ability, the Nationals, who played minus Barroca this time, kept the game close and threatened to rip the game open in the third quarter when Rey Guevarra's basket gave the RP Team a 56-46 lead with 6:20 to go in the period. (DBC) The scores: Rain or Shine 84 - Clark 20, Reyes 14, Mercado 11, Isip 11, Norwood 10, Wainwright 8, Ibanes 4, Laure 2, Salangsang 2, Andaya 2, Tang 0, Ejercito 0, Arana 0. Smart Gilas-RP 81 - Ababou 19, Al-Hussaini 18, Baracael 15, Casio 15, Jazul 6, Guevarra 5, Buenafe 3, Ballesteros 0, Slaughter 0, Tiu 0. Quarterscores: 22-19, 38-44, 59-62, 84-81.

man...i remember that moment...cariaso way way under the goal, no way he' make a shot...then the _._._._ ref blew his wistle (crutial time...blowing awistle in favor of a rookie w/c is not even a clear call!!!) man, i almost cried for PF then...robbed of a championship!

 

[alvin314159]

From http://sports.inquirer.ne...-send-Finals-to-7th-game.Cone issuing a warning to Macmac :

The Alaska coach, though, sounded very upset and issued a warning to Cardona, saying that he will order his players to send Cardona to the floor if theTalk 'N Text swingman continues to taunt and trash-talk his players.

"The next time he taunts our players, he is going to hit his head on the floor," Cone said. "He's done it four times in this series and hehas only been warned once. That starts fights.

"My players are not going to back down," said Cone, referring to Sunday night when Cardona hit a short stab, was fouled by Tenorio, and jumped up anddown while screaming at Tenorio.

I never saw what Cardona did to Tenorio. Anyone here who was able to watch this?

 

[eugenecruise]

Saw that one... Macmac was jumping up and down behind LA and taunting him.... medyo over na sa trash talk if you would ask me... even Sonny Thoss was pointingit to the ref but twas just ignored...

Its part of the game and Mac was hyped and full of energy when he had that and1 play...


Lets watch on wed... this will be one hell of a ballgame...

you're not the only one bro, it was def a bad call imo, i may be biased but at the circumstance it was called it was a bad ending for thatgame. anyway i'm still a PF fan all the way and i miss their all filipino dominance during the alvin-jerry era. anyway i'd like to see a vid of thatcardona-tenorio incident. i may not like that kind of acting by macmac based on what i read but tenorio himself have been a trash talker. i always remeber himtaunting bj manalo during the ateneo-lasalle finals from a few years back, got me

when i saw him doing that specially coz it was his freshman year that time.

 

[jason16]

Im not sure if you guys saw it on tv, i was there last sunday when at one point in the third quarter macmac was actually piss @ jimmy alapag when he didntpass the ball to macmac ON TIME.... he actually wanted to throw his headband @....who knows? iv been watching a lot of ball games since i was a kid ..neverhated a player like mac2..iba tlga cya..i hope he gets his head straight..

 

[jepeh21]

i hated bong hawkins, cariaso, rhoel gomez, kevin ramas

anyway whateverhappened to walkvist?

 

[alvin314159]

i still think the refs should have the taunts under control. these are the kinds of situations that start fights and would warrant an automatic "T"in the NBA. But then, this is the PBA, and if taunting and bad behavior sells, then i guess they'll let it go.

yeah and why would the PBA assign first timer refs during the finals, i just saw the video on game 6 during the 1st quarter miller had an obviousdouble dribble when he picked up his dribble, waited for a couple of seconds then dribbled again right in front of the ref and the ref just ignored it whichled to an assist by miller to dela cruz.

im still searching for the video...about that manalo-tenorio tussele, the issue there was the transfer of Bj from ateneoHS to lasalle...
