                    [Title] => Ano ang kulang sa PBA
                    [Summary] => Nung Linggo, sa pagbubukas nung Invitationals ng PBA, kaya raw walang tao sa coliseum eh dahil sa may rebellion sa Makati. May tensyon daw kaya ang mga tao ay hindi nanood. 


Hindi kami naniniwala sa dahilang yan.

Ang paniwala namin, walang interes ang mga basketball fans sa Invitationals dahil sa ang mga foreign teams na inimbita nila eh mahihina ang kalidad at hindi pag-aksayahan ng panahon ng mga mahihilig sa basketball. They know when they see a strong team. Alam nila kung ano ang team na dapat panoorin.

Ano ang nangyari nung Miyerkules?

Kasi nga, kahit paano’y buong-buo ang mga teams na ito, eh. Club team o school teams sila. Matagal nang nagsama ang mga manlalaro ng koponang ito kung kaya’t mayroon na silang teamwork.

Kasi nga’y makikita ng lahat kung uubra nga ang mga ito sa professional league na tiyak na aakyatan nila kapag hinog na sila.

Matitindi din ang tatlong players na ito. Katunayan, ngayon pa lang ay may asterisk na sa kanilang mga pangalan kung ang tatanungin mo ay ang mga PBA coaches.

[Summary] => The rumor is spreading like wildfire. MJ will likely be playing for the Jilin Northeast Tigers in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Samsung Invitational Championships starting this Sunday.

A highly placed source says the PBA is keeping MJ’s possible arrival under wraps. "If it leaks out, somebody could pull the plug," notes a league insider. "Baka ‘di matuloy kung ma-preempt ang announcement of his coming."

The top five finishers in the All-Filipino double-round eliminations gained automatic passes as seeded entries in the 10-team Invitationals. The lucky qualifiers are Red Bull, San Miguel Beer, FedEx, Talk ‘N’ Text and Coca-Cola.

One of Banal’s assistants Aric del Rosario is also taking a leave of absence to call the shots for the Philippine national squad that’s not only playing in the Invitationals but also in the Asian Basketball Confederation (ABC) championships in China in September and the Southeast Asian Games in Vietnam in December.

The original idea was for only two overseas clubs to participate but the PBA is considering to include a third in the wake of a deluge of calls from abroad to widen the participation.

Lucia and Coca-Cola take a shot at the last outright berth in the Asian Invitationals in the Samsung PBA All-Filipino Cup double-header at the Makati Coliseum today. Both FedEx and SMB can afford to lose this game at 5 p.m. having made it to the quarterfinals and also in the Invitationals.

The Realtors and the Tigers clash in the 7:30 p.m. mainer.

Don’t sell the Yugoslavian kids short. They may be in their teens but expect the juniors to show up the elders in the PBA.
