...time/work, merger, and NBA..

2PM - 11PM... ok lang naman sa kin eh.. kaso ala nang gimik time... kinda a good thing pa rin naman kasi i don't get to spend much... kaso miss ko si che... less time to see each other, less time to spend time with each other... i can't even watch a movie with her on weekdays to take her mind off the hellacious 4th year work... the best thing i could do with her was a lunch date at icebergs, but that didn't turn out too well too, dahil natae ako, and left her alone for about 10-15mins while a stupid clerk was real slow on the "express" lane and i had to take a dump...

pag nagbabasa ako ng dyaryo, parating sports at comics lang binabasa ko..kasi dun minsan mei magandang balita pa... sa front page kasi kun ndi namatay, bago problema lang meron eh... anyway, ang pinakamatunog na sports balita ngayon eh ang merger ng UAAP at NCAA... payag na ang NCAA, ayaw pa ng UAAP, though ang nagpropose ng move ay ang host ng UAAP next year, ang UP, na sya namang magcecelebrate ng 100years of existence... gusto ng NCAA kasi for more competitiveness, ayaw ng UAAP dahil tulad ng sabi ni Coach Carter, "they are student-athletes. student comes first." Personally, gusto ko, para humaba un tournament, pero yeah, considering mga estudyante sila... but then again, after being classmates with Derrik Hubalde and Jojo Duncil, who were the main gunners for USTe at one point in their lives, I don't think it's the athletes' priority to actually study... save for Dylan and maybe Chris Tiu and TY Tang... but hey, that's just me... another reason for UAAP junking it is that basketball is not the only sport there is and that the tradition of the UAAP and NCAA are going to be alienated... true basketball is not the only sport, but hey, maybe with this many competition, someone might actually challenge UST for the overall position... how many years in a row has UST been holding that title? 38? i don't know... And i want to see San Sabestian trying to do their "Go Baste" cheer in front of us... tingnan ko lang kun ndi magkariot. tangna nila... mga jologs..

I don't get to watch NBA anymore... the last 2 games I watched were blowouts... i had a good game once, the denver-san antonio game... but i didn't even see the whole game... bullshit talaga si manny(see previous post)... even if they show it on ABC 5 in the evening, i wouldn't be able to see it too because of my freakin schedule.. anyway, the only dose of nba i have right now is the internet... i can't go through multiply at the office even if i'm just surfing all day because of company fuckin policy... so i read through the recaps of the close games... most of the games i don't get to read about are from, of all teams, LA Lakers... i never liked that team..  they were the team to beat once, but since shaq left kobe, they have to compete for the 8th spot out in the west... now they have a joke for a lineup... good addition was derek fisher,  but still, they need a big man and turiaf and bynum can't fill that void up.. or so i thought... bynum is performing like a monster and the lenovo stats in nba.com, the stat which measures the best 5 man combination in a team, shows LA as having the most number of combinations that play well together... i'm just baffled at how a joke of a team can perform that well... one answer might be Andrew Bynum... the Heat? well, i'm just pissed everyday... the 2004 world champs are now at the bottom of the east... i'm almost wishing Pat Riley stepping down, and Shaq being traded for a better, younger, less injury prone big man... trade away ricky davis for a more consistent player, and why not sign earl boykins since they're not using smush parker anyway... the team just isn't clicking, wade's trying his best but is still playing hurt... i could see stan van gundy laughing at pat riley right now... riley may be the guy who made the team look the way it looks right now, but stan was the guy who made players out of those people... What about the blazers? they won 13 straight, and lost, but won 2 straight, i think, coming off that loss... and those without the hyped-up greg oden... scary thought for next season.. but let's see how blazers are going to perform against the good teams... Chicago? another disappointment... that is almost the same team that was hyped up last year to win or challenge the east, loaded a bit on young talent (noah, gray), but still is just a couple of games ahead of the heat... the bobcats always need a jordan visit for them to perform well... memphis is a good roster, but i don't know what's wrong with them... they just have that habit of losing... sixers pulled together a string of wins, but they also have a joke as a lineup...  but then again, they're doing better than the heat... and the wizards are winning, but they're not fun to watch unless the loudmouth agent zero is playing... i want him there for his buzzer beaters and to back his trash up... they're Boston game was a mess for him when it came to predictions...


I need to bet on NBA odds... i know i can win regular season games now even if i don't get to watch... anyone who can help me out with this?

  1. you forgot cholo villanueva, marcy arellano & james martinez. those three actually get good grades. anywho. mganda sna ang isang super league pero it's kind of inappropriate to "merge" the two leagues. parang ang point ni father de sagon was ibang liga nlng instead of removing/forgetting the traditions both uaap & ncaa have.. personally maganda sana na may malaking nationwide league na bigger than champion's league, pero xempre yoko mwla ang ibang leagues like the uaap/ncaa. haha

  3. news say lakers won again... and they beat one of my dark horses from last season, New Orleans.. looking at the box score, everyone on the bench contributed... its just like how i play in the live series... shit.. as much as i hate to admit it, i think i´m beginning to like how the lakers are playing this season...

    bobcats just might make the playoffs.. they beat boston. at home. and with the celts on a 9-game win streak.. that is a feat not too many teams can brag about... it might be a fluke, but i do think they are a pretty capable team...

  4. takot ang UAAP kaya ayaw nila ng "merger"

    mas ok nga yung ganun eh. mag start siguro sila ng september tapos sa march yung finals. para NCAA sa america, march madness.
