[Title] => Chua almost quit after 1-6 start
[Summary] => Sta. Lucia coach Alfrancis Chua said yesterday he nearly quit his job after the Realtors stumbled to a 1-6 start in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Fiesta Conference.
But after consulting his closest friends, Chua decided to stick it out and prove to Sta. Lucia management he’s not the type to give up easily. He went back to the basics, found inspiration in legendary coach John Wooden, recruited an import who was forever in his wish list and motivated his players to show they were no pushovers.

[Title] => Former Chicago Bull bullies Red Bull
[Summary] => Dickey Simpkins may have picked up some flair, style and power from former Chicago Bulls teammate Michael Jordan that he’s now enjoying his own greatness in the local pro league.
Simpkins had another outstanding performance, leading the Alaska Aces to a fourth straight win with a 106-85 rout of the Red Bull Barako Thunder last night in the Gran Matador PBA Fiesta Cup at the Araneta Coliseum.
"Tonight was simply too much Dickey," said Alaska coach Tim Cone of his prized import, a member of the Chicago team that won three straight NBA titles, from 1996-98.

[Title] => Barakos umamo sa Aces
[Summary] => Ipinagpag ng Alaska Aces ang pagod mula sa naka-raang out-of-town game at sumandal kay import Dickey Simpkins na patuloy sa pag-improve ng kanyang laro tungo sa 106-85 pananalasa sa Red Bull sa pag-usad kagabi ng eliminations ng Gran Matador-PBA Fiesta Conference sa Araneta Coliseum.

[Title] => Kailangang magsipag si Johns
[Summary] => Bagamat si Darrell Johns ang pinakamatangkad na import sa PBA Fiesta Cup sa sukat na 7’1 ay tila hindi ito ang tipo ng isang dominant big man. Ang impression nga ng karamihan dito kay Johns ay parang tatamad-tamad itong kumilos at kulang na kulang sa bibo kung maglaro.
Kasi nga, kontra sa Alaska Aces noong Huwebes sa kanilang out-of-town game sa Don Celestino Martinez Sr. Sports and Cultural Center sa Bogo City Cebu ay pwede na sanang layuan ng Tigers ang Aces nang magkaroon ng foul trouble si Dickie Simpkins. Pero hindi ito nagawa ng Coca-Cola.

[Title] => Simpkins simply best for Aces
[Summary] => Despite some big numbers last night, Dickey Simpkins’ true value for Alaska goes way beyond the stats sheet.
Coach Tim Cone, in fact, was all praises for the former Chicago Bull who he said is simply taking over the team with his unselfish plays and great will to win.
"The thing about him is that he just keeps on playing. He struggled out there tonight and he’ll be the first to tell you that," said the Alaska mentor after his Aces wore down the FedEx Express, 87-83, at the Araneta Coliseum.
