Welcome to the Talk 'N Text Fan Blog

This blog is dedicated to my favorite team in the Philippine Basketball Association - The Talk n Text Tropang Texters. I have been a loyal fan since the team entered the league back in the 90's when they are still under the name Mobiline Phone Pals. I will be customizing this blog for the coming days and hopefully I will be able to start posting articles very soon. So all Talk n Text fans out there, feel free to contact me (click the envelope button under the social profile section) so we can share ideas and views about our favorite team.

Modest Start

Even with the return of Larry Fonacier, Jayson Castro, and Ranidel De Ocampo from their well deserved rest, still the team absorbed its second lost to the hands of their sister team Meralco Bolts. Prior to that, they took a beat down from the San Mig Coffee Mixers.

But Talk N Text Tropang Texters is just too good of a team to allow their losing skid to continue. Last Sunday, the team took care of business beating the Global Port Batang Pier. Larry Fonacier was all fired up scoring 19 points and contributed in the rebound and assist departments as well. Jayson Castro and Ranidel De Ocampo are slowly getting into the groove scoring 12 and 11 points respectively. Tony Mitchell was in his usual high scoring game with 35 points and had a couple of highlight plays.

With the win, the team improve to 2-2 win loss record. They are still in a strong position to secure a spot in the top four at the end of the elimination round. If the team will continue to improve and everyone will contribute, there's still a big possibility that they will be on top of the standings.

Team Captain Jimmy Alapag is expected to suit up for the team, this should give the them an added push knowing how Jimmy inspires his team mates to play good basketball. Now that the team is complete, hopefully they will be able to score another win and closes in to their immediate goal - to be in the top four.

Talk N Text Tropang Texters will be up against Alaska Aces this Friday. This is going to be another tough game for them since Alaska Aces lost its last assignment. The team will definitely try to bounce back to avoid a second straight defeat. Game is 7:30PM at the Mall of Asia Arena.
