FEU on Course in Season 73 Title Drive
By Joseph W. Buduan for philippinebasketball.ph (07/30/2010)
It began right there in the first game of the season: Far
Eastern University drew great games from their superstar pointguard Ryan
Roose Garcia, hotshot forward Paul Sanga and veteran center Aldrech Ramos
to beat reigning champion Ateneo De Manila 72 – 69. The last time FEU
beat Ateneo in their first encounter of the season was back in 2005, the
same year the Tamaraws last won the UAAP senior division basketball championship.
THE MORNING AFTER: July in Excelsis
By Sam Miguel for philippinebasketball.ph (06/29/2010)
For
the National Basketball Association this July promises to be an epochal
period in their history. There are just so many tantalizing scenarios
to consider, too many what-if exercises. Although Lebron James is without
a doubt the biggest figure in this entire scenario, this summer is about
so much more than where the greatest free agent of all time will play
his most productive years. >>

THE MORNING AFTER: Retro Finals II: Celtics-Lakers By
Sam Miguel for philippinebasketball.ph (06/04/2010)
In the last 30 years or so, the Los Angeles Lakers and
the Boston Celtics have won 12 NBA world championships between them. Los
Angeles has nine, Boston three. Over this same period of time, they’ve
met each other three times in the NBA Finals, with the Lakers winning
two of those epic encounters. The Lakers are the reigning and defending
NBA champions. The Celtics are gunning for their second NBA title in three
years, and they could just as easily have been gunning for a 3-Peat now
had it not been for the misfortune of an injury to superstar Kevin Garnett
last season. >>
