PLAYOFFS & ALLSTAR
 |
|
 |

| 9 a.m. Dead End vs. Freestyle |
Dead End vs. Freestyle |
10 a.m. Angkor Wat vs. Phenoms | ||
|
PREVIEW:
Dead End is 3-1 and has
made a jump to the 3rd spot. EJ Latorre has a lot to do
with that and the team's leading scorer at 16 ppg has
been phenomenal. Freestyle is currently the 4th ranked
team and Steven Watts is leading his team in scoring
(13.7 ppg), rebounds (11.3 rpg) and steals (4). This
should be a good match-up between the elite teams of the
Eastern Conference. Preview | Game Stats | Recap |
|
9 a.m. Platinum Division |
  Steven Watts |
PREVIEW:
The Gold Division's leading scorer, Khorn Leng,
is averaging 39 ppg and is one of the premier
three-point shooters in the League (currently 1st with
21). Ryan Francisco (currently in 3rd with 15)
once held the three-point record for a game and now it
looks like Khorn will break the 3 point record for a
season against Phenoms. Oh the genius that is the
scheduling committee. Preview | Game Stats | Recap |
| 11 a.m. Freestyle vs. Flight One | G.Breakers vs. #1 Stunners | 3 p.m. Aztecs vs. Abstract | ||
|
PREVIEW:
Freestyle will play their second game of a
double-header against Flight One, a team suddenly on the
decline thanks to injuries (Brian Lumbreras).
They need to rely on the leadership of Jeff Bencito and
Marcus Richardson if they are to survive the Platinum
Division otherwise they can just label their first
season a re-building season... if there is such a thing.
|
|
4 p.m. Platinum Division |
  Mark Pagdilao |
PREVIEW:
Aztecs is playing
short-handed and Hollywood team suffered their first
loss last week against Outkast Connection. They will
look to rebound from a loss and their leading rebounder
is Brian Valladares at 9.8 rpg. The short-handed
team will play against the shortest team in the league,
Abstract. An alarming stat reads: Abstract, lowest team
rebound average with 22.8 rpg.
Preview | Game Stats | Recap |
| 12 p.m. Xplosion vs. Bank | Global Gym vs Foundation | 7 p.m. Relics vs. Elements WALNUT GYM | ||
|
PREVIEW:
Xplosion has lost 2 in a row and Team Captain Martin
Camarena will do almost anything to steal this game
from Bank. Martin is tied for the lead in steals with 13
and he is 4th in assists with a total of 12. He will
need to help his teammates defend Bank's Giyoh Shey
who is averaging 20.3 ppg (2nd in scoring). Preview | Game Stats | Recap |
|
6 p.m. Platinum Division |
|
PREVIEW:
We're not going to
sugar-coat things and WE KNOW that under the surface,
Relics envies Elements. They have videos, MySpace pages,
fan support, and they are still young. Read "Noise" and
you'll know Relics will do whatever it takes to win this
game.
Preview | Game Stats | Recap |
| 1 p.m. DSK vs. Flight One | Relics vs. Elements | 8 p.m. B-LO-DA-RIM vs. Team Dime | ||
|
PREVIEW:
DSK wasn't shy about shooting an abundant amount of
3 pointers after they read the articles last week. To
date, they are tops with 24 three's and Richard Sak
ranks 2nd in three's with a total of 10 for the
season. Flight One's Team Captain Anthony Palacol
is an underrated three-point shooter and the big man
will be more than happy to prove to DSK that he can
shoot from long distance.
|
|
7 p.m. Gold Division |
|
PREVIEW:
B-LO-DA-RIM's Nico Bouye has led the team in
scoring with a 13.5 ppg and currently leads the Gold
Division in steals with a total of 14. He is hoping to
steal a victory from Team Dime which has lost 2 in a
row. They are led by Team Captain Allan Bacani
who is currently averaging 17 ppg. Team Dime doesn't
want to lose 3 in a row so look for them to play
above-the-competition. Preview | Game Stats | Recap |
| 2 p.m. Deacons vs. Swish | Thrillers vs Outkast | 8 p.m. Elements vs. Thrillers WALNUT GYM | ||
|
PREVIEW:
Deacons' Mark Moton
is currently on the MVP ballot (14 ppg, 12.5 rpg, 2.8
apg) and the big man will look to rebound from a loss
against Mindstate in Week 5. They will play Swish, a
team that has a grim chance of making the Playoffs but a
win against the Hollywood team will still keep their
Playoffs dreams alive.
Preview | Game Stats | Recap |
|
9 p.m. Gold Division |
|
PREVIEW:
Team Captain James Bernardo has stepped up
his game since Luke Montilla went down in an
injury and he is tied for 3rd in steals with a total of
11 steals for the season. Relics' Rommel Ocfemia
has also stepped up his game and is fresh off his 21
points, 4 steals performance in Week 5. The battle
between both guards will be a difference maker in the
outcome of the game.
Preview | Game Stats | Recap |
| 4 p.m. Game Breakers vs. #1 Stunners |
|
9 p.m. BBC vs. Deep Penetration | ||
|
PREVIEW:
The Co-Commish will have a tough match-up
against #1 Stunners and he's just hoping that his team
won't lose as much as Dynasty did in Week 5. There's no
question who will win this game and Tommy Avalos
will always be up for the challenge of pulling an upset.
He'll have a difficult task against Defending Player of
the Week, Mark Pagdilao.
"The team doesn't have a selfish bone and we're having a
difficulty choosing an All-Star from the team," advised
the Commish. Preview | Game Stats | Recap |
Phenoms
Team Captain, Alvin Aguilar:
"Hey relics, RELICS
Team Captain, Ernest Pablo on Luke Montilla:
haha check out the comment section on
superstar... luke is out for only "a week" due to a
"slight tear in his meniscus". he must've injured himself
running too many damn lines hahahaha probably if it
wasnt for his super crazy regimen, he mightve been out
for 3 weeks hahahahahaha |
PREVIEW:
Defending Player of the Week, Alex 'Bear' Ivezaj
was averaged 24 rpg in Week 5 and looks to continue his
dominance against Deep Penetration. He is currently
averaging 18 rpg and 19.3 ppg. Their opponent is
currently a game out of the Playoffs and a win for the
Chino Hills team will keep their playoff dream alive.
They are led by the team's top scorer, Jack Moore,
who is averaging 13.8 ppg. |
||
| 5 p.m. Global Gym vs. Dynasty | Location |
9 p.m. Thrillers vs. Outkast WALNUT GYM |
||
|
PREVIEW:
The 2006 Fall Finals
re-match will take place in Week 6 and the spotlight
will focus on the team's leading scorers. Global Gym's
rookie, PJ Marte, leads the Defending Champs in
scoring with 16.3 ppg. He has quietly taken over the top
spot in three-pointers with 11 and Dynasty's rookie,
Vic Buchanon, will have a tough assignment of
guarding him. Preview | Game Stats | Recap |
WORKMAN HIGH SCHOOL
|
PREVIEW:
There's a lot of history
between Outkast and Thrillers with Thrillers' Team
Captain Justin Reyes being the founder and
original Team Captain of Outkast/Flight One. A decade
ago, Justin was the original outlaw who found 'ringers'
Kamani Wilkins and Tab Glomah and the original
Flight One team used to beat teams by 30-40 points. In
the 1996 St. Martha's Basketball League Finals, it was
Flight One that defeated Alvin Aguilar's Funk
Phenomenon by 30 points to win their 1st ever
Championship. Myth suggests that ever since then, the
evil Commissioner of St. Martha's Basketball League
wasn't very fond of 'ringers' since he played for Funk
Phenomenon and he didn't like the feeling of losing in
his own League. "I can take losing but, the fact that
they spray-painted their shoes gold and had to rub it in
our faces, I knew I shouldn't have let Justin added
those ringers." That was then and this is now. A decade
later, the Commish is well over it although Kamani (MVP
of the first basketball league
that Commish ran) thinks otherwise. "The
fact that you are still dwelling on the past and what
was, is real disturbing." The two combatants will go at
it and the game will have a nostalgic feel...if Kamani
Wilkins makes it out for the late trip. Preview | Game Stats | Recap |
||
| 6 p.m. Global Gym vs. Foundation | ||||
|
PREVIEW:
The Defending Champs won't
be too happy if they aren't given a chance to defend
their title in the Playoffs but with the way things are
right now, the 1-3 team is currently out of the playoffs
picture. They will play a double-header and the
spotlight will be on former teammates, Global Gym's
Lalo Arroyo and Foundation's Mike Tee. Former
teammates were on the Summer 2006 Championship team and
the bittersweet reunion should be an entertaining
match-up. FYI. Did you know that both Finals MVP's are
named Mike. Hmmm... Preview | Game Stats | Recap |
PLEASE KEEP THE GYM CLEAN NO SMOKING ON SCHOOL GROUNDS!!

| 7 p.m. Mindstate vs. Foundation |
QUICK RULES |
|||
|
PREVIEW:
MVP candidate, Derrick DeVan of Mindstate, leads
the Platinum Division in scoring with 93 total points
(23.3 ppg). The Center improved his free-throw shooting
when his flaws were exposed by the staff and he has made
a noticeable effort to improve his already polished
game. He will go against Foundation's Team Captain
Mike Teeravatya, and he is all too familiar with
what it takes to be a
Finals MVP. Preview | Game Stats | Recap |
a. (4) 10 minute quarters. b. ZERO TOLERANCE FOR FIGHTING. c. $30 Ref fees. d. BRING YOUR PHOTO ID. e. READ THE RULES. f. Have fun and don't be a sore loser. |
