RP POWERADE TEAM MASSACRES SRI LANKA, 115-31!

We knew they would win but by a whopping 80+ points? Whoah.

But then again, this is Sri Lanka we are talking about. So we've officially secured a berth in the second round (barring a colossal upset by Sri lanka over Japan or Korea). Now, we just need to keep on winning so that we can avoid the Middle Eastern juggernauts until much. much later.

STUDS: Jared Dillinger was unstoppable with a double-double (21 points, 11 rebounds). This kid never stopped hustling the entire game. Asi Taulava also had a double-double of his own (15 points, 13 rebounds). The Man Mountain wreaked havoc on the offensive glass.

DUDS: Arwind Santos got chewed out by Guiao for lackluster play in the 2nd quarter and got benched for the third. Not a good sign. Gabe Norwood also seems to have regressed from his 2007 form, when he was one of Chot Reyes' most versatile men. Now, he seems tentative and hesitant.

I MISS SPORTS COMMERCIALS LIKE THESE!

The Big J's Anejo Rum commercial.



Paul "Mr. Excitement" Alvarez's Metrobank commercial


REMEMBER WHEN THE RP BASKETBALL TEAM WAS STILL GOOD?

Yeah, we were so damn good that Chinese coaches actually scouted us. And other teams devised defensive schemes against players like Alvin "The Captain" Patrimonio, Samboy "Skywalker" Lim and Allan "The Triggerman" Caidic. 

Where have those days gone?
