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.

Grizz Continue Winning!

If we were to believe the experts, the Memphis Grizzlies should have been a week into their vacation.

Pacquiao Metes Out 12Round Punishment!

Manny Pacquiao came to fight.
Shane Mosley, evidently, came to run.

After a stinging third round knockdown, Shane "Sugar" Mosley spent the next 9 rounds running, dancing and sidestepping around the ring, all in a bid to avoid Manny Pacquiao's blazing fists.

Rose Demolishes Hawks!

And the Derrick Rose show continues.

This time, it was to the tune of 44 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists as Rose hit everything from threepointers to floaters to midrange jumpers to running hooks.

And while only two other Bulls scored in double figures (Kyle Korver had 11 and Taj Gibson scored 13points), the rest of the Bulls contributed heavily on other fronts. Five Bulls had a least 5 rebounds, with Joakim Noah grabbing 15 and Gibson collaring 11. Noah also blocked 5 shots.

The Hawks had a more balanced offensive game, with all five starters scoring in double figures. The only problem was that 4 Hawks starters barely outscored Rose, scoring 47 points to Rose's 44. Jeff Teague had another sensational offensive game (21points) but could barely keep in front of Rose.

Josh Smith scored 17points and grabbed 13 rebounds but was booed by Hawks fans whenever he took a jumpshot instead of driving to the hoop.
