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....

Road to the Finals!

When I started this blog, I made a commitment that I will write a post after every TNT game but that commitment was not put to reality due to my other priorities. The last post I wrote was when the Talk N Text Tropang Texters suffered their first loss in the elimination round against the Alaska Aces! The team eventually finished the elimination round on top of the standings with a 12-2 win-loss record. The road to the finals was not an easy...

That First Loss!

I call it breaks of the game! Every team went through that same kind of experience. The goal tending call turned things around but I am not bitter about it. The important thing was that we played good and honest basketball. That game was never meant to be ours! We will be better next time around.  Coach Norman drew a perfect plan and the players executed it very well, it’s just unfortunate that the ball went in and out of the rim allowing...

First Game: No Problem

Even if I wanted to watch the first game of Talk ‘N Text Tropang Texters on TV, my work doesn’t allow me to do so. Game starts at 5:15PM but my off from work is not until 6PM, on top of that I need to travel approximately 30 minutes before reaching home. So I just watch the first half of the game through online streaming. What I don’t like about online streaming is that it keeps on buffering every now and then. Well anyways, here’s what I have observed...
