Another Game Nothing New

"What's new still the same"

"Our team sucks."

"Can we have the owner of Zebu Mayas shipped to Siberia?"

Such were the comments from the fans after Zebu Mayas lost another close match against Niinja 77 to 81 in the first home game of the season. There was disappointment in the faces of most of the 9751 fans who trooped to the 15500 capacity arena hoping to see a victory last night. Francis Calo playing like a man redeemed had a 22 point 18 rebound game with Wilson Toong shooting 8-11 to score 19 points but still was not enough to get a win for the Zebu Mayas. Rizaldy Suguilon started again strong in the assists department with 8 assists early on but again fouled out early leaving a big void. Zebu Mayas was leading for 3 quarters but again lost steam in the deciding quarter getting outscored 18 to 25 by Niinja.

After the game a small group of fans staged a noise barrage at the center court demanding Lolo Smithz to vacate the manager position or sell the team all together. There was no comment from the management of the Zebu Mayas about this incident.

One of the irate protesters had this to say when he left. "Looks like we are looking ahead to another relegation match the end the of the season. Can I have my season tickets refunded?"

In other league 2.4 news the usual suspects were again in the top spots of their respective conferences. Arcanix Men, San Antipolo Spurs and Niinja have perfect 2-0 records while Team Damy and Cebu Lakers also had the same records in their conference. Team Damy, one of the most consistent temas in league 2,4 over the years, still smarting from a heartbreaking conference finals loss to Lonely Hearts club last season bucked the injury of one of his key players Dobbins to win last night. Ph-Damy surely will have much motivation this year to finally realize his dream of reaching the PPL with an all pinoy lineup, something he has been looking forward to and has been eluding him for many seasons already.

Thanks for linking my post. Kudos to you for making an effort to watch? review? all PPL games to come up with such nice write-ups. Would it be better for me to post here in the BB Network to get my press releases noticed? Plus, I may get ball. ;) Enjoy all!

Kudos to Ph-Greedy, etc.. for a job well done. Just continue what you people are doing and hope this forum will continue to live.

Lonely Hearts Club looks to add another gold trophy this season

After acquiring their fifth championship in franchise history, Sgt Pepper, the GM of the Lonely Hearts Club said that they don't plan to be pushovers in top league in the Philippines.

"The last time we were here, we competed under a different name and due to financial constraints, we were forced to rebuild. As a result, we were manhandled during the season we were here. I am guaranteeing that this season wouldn't be the same. We will do what we think is best in our pursuit of the missing trophies in our case."

Armed with financial stability, the team upgraded from championship core members Mellar, Payton, Shabkhiz and Alves to a core headed by Pilipinas guard Pete Montallana and Canadian big man Pierre-Charles Jutras. Rounding out the new acquisitions were Mustafa Ekin and Fabien Ville.

"We felt like the roster lacked talent in facing the best teams in the country. We're sad to see our old core go but this was necessary in order to compete."

The season has just started and they are sitting at 1-2 but Sgt Pepper emphasized that they could have easily gone 2-1 or even 3-0 but he is not panicking nor is he slacking either.

"We felt like we could have won our past games but there are times like that. Close games that don't count your way are normal but if we continue this trend of losing, expect some changes to occur. Having just been recently promoted, it comes across as a very bold statement but I really think we have a chance at contending and I would not let that opportunity just pass by."

"Hotkeys looking to end their 2-game losing streak"

-After winning their 1st game as a league II contender with no star player in Andrew MacIssac (11048880) which is followed by veteran Shi hengri who was sold after playing 3rd game of this season. The team is shuffling and trying to find a way to end their two game losing slump.

"I would love to have them in our team this season but there are some matters that we need to fulfill this season in which theyre" (Andrew MacIssac (11048880) " not a part of that plan. there are some aspects in this team that needs to be changed to be able to compete in this new high level division. -MR.Tred (team manager)

When asked if their new found pinoy Guard Rogen Hierro (19835591) can succeed the role of their former 100+k salaried star guard? -"Yes! hes young,very talented still trainable at age 24. He can beat you with dribbles and lock you down 1on1. Were happy that we acquire such a young and talented pinoy player."

The team are sitting at 1-2 record with game coming up in just under an hour the fans are hoping to win our home game. -"Lets see what our newly hired center and veteran guard perform in their 1st game. Team manager"

Watch our game live on PPV hehe - http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/190308/schedule.aspx

Another forced loss by the Tambays, dumped by the juguars 109-74


The Facts: Diego Ubríaco's third straight double-double was just enough for the juguars to crush the effort of the starting benches of the PRO Tambays.

Ubríaco posted murderous numbers of 31 points while grabbing 15 big rebounds to carry the juguars to a 109-74 victory over the PRO Tambays who limited their starter's minutes. Juan Carlos de la Paz added 23 points while their beast center Roberto Puccio grabbed 26 rebounds and also dishing 6 assists.

Enrique Villaciergo led the Tambays in scoring with a season-high 19 points while the sniping star Fong Kong Chian had his season-low 15 points but playing for only 11 minutes.


Quotable: "It was a clear win for us. I expected that the Tambays would not start their starters and I took advantage on it by putting more effort.
------ juguars manager Julito Gupita


The Stat: After a triumphant game vs Cebu Lakers, the Tambays decided not to start their best players since due to tournament commitments. The "starting bench" were only 21/63, such expected for an opponent that puts more effort.


Turning Point: The juguars led the Tambays 24-13 at 1st quarter and never looked back. Despite of the big lead, they are still letting their starters play.


Quotable II: "I never expected the performance of my "starting bench". I mean they were doing fine last game vs the Lakers but what happened? I'm gonna send em back to their mother's womb if that happens again."
------ PRO Tambays coach Patrick Juanico


Hot: The juguars lit it up anywhere on the court, hitting 21/43 FG% at 1st half and continue their streaks by increasing their pace at the 2nd with 23/50 FG%. Their 3 point percentage were also good, with 12/18 shots from the long distance.


Not: Nikos Ntavelis continues his slump with the Tambays. After having a 33.5ppg in his former team, he was struggling with the Tambays only averaging 5.5ppg and an embarassing FG% of 18.5%.


UP NEXT: After the prepared cup game, the Tambays will clash versus the winless Bennyville Subdivision.
