Hontiveros Impressing Toroman!

Could Dondon Hontiveros be the missing link for Smart Gilas?

Coach Rajko Toroman seems to think so, as the Cebuano hotshot continues to impress in Gilas practices.

Toroman singled out both Hontiveros and Taulava as the guys who have provided a major boost to the  chances of Gilasin winning the FIBA Asia Champions Cup.

Two other PBA stars that Toroman tapped, Kelly Williams and Jimmy Alapag, have not yet joined the team's practices. Both are seasoned international veterans though, having suited up for the Philippine National Team before.

The Nationals will still be led by Chris Tiu, JV Casio and naturalized player Marcus Douthit. The FIBA Asia Champions Cup serves as a testing ground for the team as they prepare for the Fiba Asia Championship in Wuhan, China.

Mavs Sweep Lakers Via Blowout!

When Kobe Bryant said he believed the Lakers could be the first NBA team to win a series after going down 0-3, many call him crazy.

Tropang Texters Emerge As Champions!

The vaunted Ginebra never-say-die spirit must be infectious because the Tropang Texters caught it and they used it to beat down the Gin Kings 99-96 to capture the Commissioner's Cup.

Old reliable Jimmy Alapag was once again in the forefront of the attack as he scored 5 straight points in the overtime period to scuttle the Gin Kings' bid for a Game 7, a prospect Texters' coach Chto Reyes did not want to face.

Rondo Dislocates Elbow, Still Leads Boston to Victory.

In most cases, a dislocated elbow means rest, rest and more rest.
But not in the NBA Playoffs.

Rajon Rondo added to the Celtics mystique by coming back in the fourth quarter and leading the Boston Celtics to a 97-81 victory over the Heat. Rajon Rondo suffered the injury after being thrown to the ground Dwayne Wade.

Trainers brought Rondo to the locker room, popped the elbow back in, Rondo went back into the game and hit a couple of one handed jumpers plus a steal using his injured arm.

Tempers will surely flare up in Game 4, as the Celtics try to defend home court once again, with the vision of Rondo's twisted arm still in the minds.

Here's the video of the injury.
