Raining on B-Meg's Parade

For the 1st time ever, the PBA franchise Rain or Shine won the championship in this season's Governor's cup. The pressure was on both teams actually. B-Meg, being the past conference champs, are pressured to win again because of their line-up that runs deep(they have 3 freakin' point guards), and of course their championship experience. They have Tim Cone on their side too, who was poised to win his 15th PBA title, on his way to tying the current PBA record holder, legendary local coach Baby Dalupan.

Rain or Shine(or ROS from hereon) got walloped for two straight games following a 3-1 lead that they blew, due in large part to rookie sensation Paul "The Lethal Weapon" Lee's exit from the conference in Game 2 due to a shoulder injury(which I believe requires surgery). So they too are feeling the pressure to redeem themselves. And what better way to do it than to win a Game 7! All in good time mates! All in good time.


Thanks for the timely advice Gallagher brothers!


My basketball teammate from the office actually told me on FB that, "Sinong unang maka-shoot, siya ang magchachampion."("Whoever gets to shoot the first basket will be the champ."). It couldn't be any truer(if there's such a word). Jamelle Cornley(ROS import) got an assist from former FEU sharpshooter Jeff Chan(future Allan Caidic), so ROS drew first blood. Well, it also happened in our championship game last June. We scored the first basket and we eventually became the champs.

The Jeff Chan of the past.

Celebs were in attendance too like Ai-Ai, Val Sotto, Danica and Ciara Sotto, Bea Alonzo and Zanjo Marudo. They were part of the 22,000 in attendance last night at the mecca of Philippine Basketball game Sevens, The Smart Araneta Center(a.k.a. "The Big Dome").

Where it's at baby!

Marcus Blakely(B-Meg's high-flying import) fouled out with lots of time left. But IMO, he ain't the reason why the Llamados lost the ballgame. ROS was already leading when he fouled out. It was because B-Megs usual gunners("Big Game" James Yap and "The Apostle" Peter Jun Simon) suddenly turned ice cold. Plus ROS's D was more intense than the trademark B-Meg defense.

Led by this guy, Marc "Sakuragi" Pingris.

Plus, B-Meg's point guards were exploited by ROS's point-guard norwood. He was way taller than these guys so he punished them in the post a lot. his jumpers can't be reached. He's like 5-6 inches taller than B-Meg's tallest point gusrd, that's why!

Obama 2.0 is a hell of a specimen!

Congratulations to ROS, 2012 PBA Governor's Cup champs!
