BuzzerBeater Forums

After watching the press conference of the CW management held at the Shangrila Hotel in Shaw Boulevard, Coach Huck Finn reacted to the accusation of the CW CEO and Team Owner JSmoove. Coach Huck Finn called the attention of the Sagad™ Gazette, news branch of the Red Horse Beermen, to air his side on the issue. The conversation happened at the coach office inside the Red Horse Arena.

Immediately, Coach Huck Finn opened his mouth "It is evident in his press conference, CW manager wanted to acquire the services of our very own Johnas Dispo, but the Red Horse Beermen management including me refused to just throw Dispo away. Not in a ball club like the CW who doesn't give importance to its players." he calmly said. "While it is true that I offered him (JSmoove) 8 million for Dispo's transfer, I'm glad that he turned down the offer because I don't want to lose Dispo in the first place. I only asked that huge sum to disappoint him and to finally put an end of his fantasies over Dispo." he continued. "As a matter of fact, WE, I and JSmoove, deserved to be in a mental institution, I being his doctor and him being my patient. How could he say that he do not ask players to be in their team when he always dream of signing Dispo in his team!" Coach Huck Finn's voice rises as he grab a cup of herbal tea for two from Lolo Smithz. "As long as I am the coach, I will do my best to keep Johnas Dispo in the team."

Meanwhile, Johnas Dispo was hurt over what Dabandan said in his interview. Through phone, Johnas Dispo retaliated, "I may not be as good as you are now, but I am trying my best to become just like you if not better than you. Please don't boast your achievements as your ball club does not. Someday, all your fans will forget your achievements and will be remembered as a player junked by his ball club. I have nothing against you but please think about this, if your beloved team whom you gave trophies dropped you, you are already a useless junk. So, what would the NT team needed a useless junk for? My bad, sorry for my words, anyway, enjoy playing on your new team."

Blades score upset with win over BLuE Jeanz to advance in Cup

Philippine National Tournament Round 6
BLuE Jeanz @ Bacoor Blades
19:41

The Bacoor Blades used a third quarter barrage to survive their first major challenge in the National Tournament with a victory over BLuE Jeanz, 79-69 in front of a rowdy and raucous crowd at The Bacoor Forum to advance to the next round of the tournament.

An ugly game from the get-go, it looked like BLuE Jeanz would begin to slowly wrest the game following a 19-11 first quarter in their favor. But the Blades managed to get baskets from their top guys to make the comeback in the second quarter off perimeter baskets from Mark Louis Hugos and Iliya Dimov that led to the Blades being able to manage to even take the lead at the interval, 30-29.

But the third quarter began to tell the story as the game began to open up from beyond the three point line for the Blades. Led by Pedro Horcasitas and Iliya Dimov, who were able to convert from the great beyond as they won the quarter again to make it 56-47 entering the final canto.

The early stages of the fourth saw the Blades pad on the lead to as much as 19 at one point, 70-51. But a comeback attempt was staged by BLuE Jeanz off baskets by Dobrogost Tadeusiak and Enrique Anguiano. But the Blades were able to quell the run before it meant a game turnaround as Horcasitas nailed key baskets down the stretch as well as the solid play of the young backups Laurence Lacambra and Chester Maynard as they held the fort when Paul and Genco were on the bench.

"What can I say. The rest worked." said team manager TheDogMan, talking about the rest he gave four of his starters in preparation for this game. "They wanted a win like this in a long, long time. They couldn't get these types of win that often back in Division III. So for them to be able to manage to beat a team within the country's top 100, not to mention a former PPL team at that. tells the development of the players as a cohesive unit."

Horcasitas topscored for the Bacoor side with 18 points. Dimov, who struggled on the field still managed to put up 15 markers, while the duo of Paul and Genco had double-double performances of 13 and 12 and 13 and 11 respectively. Hugos ended up with 12.

"It was an exhausting game. It takes a toll on you to have games of this magnitude." said the 6'8" Spaniard Horcasitas, who received a standing ovation after the game from the Bacoor faithful "But if you win, all the pain just melts away."

This marks the end of the first half of this big game weekend for the Blades as they face the Big 8 top seed Citta Italia Rangers in their other big game this Saturday in a battle of the undefeated teams in League IV.43.

The Celestial management sent its press secretary to answer the remarks of a certain manager regarding Dabandan.

"Let me be clear, Gaudioso is a Celestial legend. He will be elected into our glorious hall of fame someday. He has made his mark against the best teams in the Phillipines and worldwide, and has won multiple cup and PPL trophies. As for Huck Finn, he's just known as Dispo's owner, nothing more.", said the secretary.

"He's [Dispo] 22 now, and in league III. He will probably be in his late 30's if his current team reaches the PPL, and that's a big if. Meanwhile, we would have won more Cup and PPL trophies as his team has won division championships.", he continued.

When asked whether the team is afraid of facing the Beermen team in the future, he has this to say, "Are they even in the cup? We just know them as a team in the lower divisions. Celestial are at the pinnacle of Philippine basketball. Teams dread playing us. If our teams eventually clash, we will dominate Dispo so much that he would wish that he's part of our bench at the end of the game. "

Gaudioso Dabandan was found sipping vodka in the practice court of his new team in Ukraine. Reporters quickly pounced on him for an ambush interview regarding the word war between his former employer Jsmoove of Celestial Wrath and Huck Finn of Red Horse Beermen.

"You want me to comment on that stone cold heartless former employer of mine Jsmoove?" laughed Dabandan. "That SOB is piece of work. He has no loyalty whatsoever to his players even those who have helped him win all those cups and trophies and has made him the most successful team owner in the Philippines."

"When Abada was sold many seasons ago I already knew I would be discarded when the time comes Jsmoove would have no use of me anymore. Basketball is a business I get it but sometimes as an owner you also have to value your players especially homegrown ones who can give you multiple championships even when we are in our mid 30's. Abada and I would have given him multiple championships if that SOB didn't break up our tandem just because Abada was getting old and he wouldn't have gotten anything of value from him anymore."

"But that is just the nature of SOB Jsmoove. To him everything is just a commodity for him to win. It is what makes him successful as many people say. I just hope karma will bite him in seasons to come. By then I'll my laughing my butt of his misfortune."

"As for that rash young upstart Huck Finn, his player Dispo maybe the next coming of me and Abada he still have many bowls of rice to consume before he can even be mentioned in the league of two of the best SF in the Philippines ever. Wait your time Mr. Huck Finn coz Fate and Destiny has a funny way of educating swollen heads like you. And if Dispo wants a one on one match I'm game anytime. Let's see who is the "Useless Junk" as he aptly called me. Loser much."

"And oh I forgot to mention. His player Dispo isn't the kind of player to pass the ball. Another hero complex kind of player in the Pilipinas National Team. Good riddance I'm not part of that team anymore. I think I'll be banging my head every time I see the "Buwayas" force their shots." Dabandan ended the ambush interview with a tongue sticking out.

this whole story is getting worth it! xD seems to be a best selling novel for me now! xD

Feels like WWE now. May backstory / drama before the fight. Tsaka may good and bad daw kuno.

Basketball ba ito or wrestling? :P

Parang akong nagbabasa ng manga o kaya nanonood ng ina,kapatid,anak. Can't wait for the next episode.

Kelan lalabas bagong episode? hahaha

All-star break is fast approaching and Coach Huck Finn was busy preparing and planning his grand vacation get away when his pet dog accidentally tuned his LG 84LM9600 Television Set to the Celestial Channel. Coach Huck Finn paused for a moment, sat beside his pet and listened carefully. The next day, he was listening to Papa Jack when the program was interrupted by a breaking news, turned out to be a quick interview of the allegedly soon to be a Celestial "Hall of Famer" Gaudioso Dabandan. Coach Huck Finn was very upset that he phoned yours truly, SexyCandy Demata - your favorite Sagad™ Gazette, for another cup of tea.

The team was currently having their practice when yours truly arrived at the Red Horse Arena. Coach Huck Finn invited me to his office upon my arrival. He offered a cup tea and after few minutes of conversation, he finally got to the point, "I would like to emphasize this to the manager claiming that he have won many cup and PPL trophies. I may have no cup or PPL trophies to show off at the moment but be prepared when we get there. Enjoy your reign while it lasts." Coach Huck Finn grinned then led me into the hard court where I got the chance to interview Johnas Dispo.

"I'd rather rot in League III in a team that value their home grown talents rather than in a strong team that carelessly throw away players occasionally. I will do whatever it takes to bring my team to the PPL irregardless of my age. When the time comes we meet Celestial Wrath, let see whose bench wants to be in what bench." said Dispo. "Regarding Dabandan, I guess he can't get enough sleep because his "beloved team" dropped him off. I'd love to play one on one against him to settle our score once and for all." he ended.

Both Coach Huck Finn and Team aptain Johnas Dispo gave brief statements as they are busy practicing for their next game against the Ninuno Gods.

Meanwhile in the National Team office, Coach PH-cezzz is having a hard time figuring what to do next versus Iran. The Game Shape of his player are really very low right now especially Mr. Fantastico Abada who played 53 minutes during his last game. PH-cezzz suddenly called a press conference to announce a very important move in his coaching career.

"Yeah he improved in his skill but I think his age really affects his Game Shape right now. So, I would like to announce that the Philippine National Team recruits Gaudioso "Seryoso" Dabandan to be Mr. Abada's replacement in the next game." The room suddenly silenced for a while and the reporters suddenly asked flurry of questions. "Silence please, I told every Filipino fans that there is still an available spot in this team right? I feel sorry for JSMoove that he sold Dabandan before I recruited him. Nothing personal, I eventually watched the league performance of Querouz and Dabandan and the latter "won" the spot for me."

"I am excited to see Dabandan and Dispo play together. I hope those two will be close friends. Thank you and you may now all leave." - PH-cezzz closed.

The Holster Feature: Quotable quotes of the week

This week saw an exchange of heated words between teams in Pilipinas BuzzerBeater, who have their top players involved in a fiasco as well as failed deals. The following exchanges from press releases have been ranked according to their degree of "BURN!". Prepare your ointments as this is going to be extremely hot.

10) "He will probably be in his late 30's if his current team reaches the PPL, and that's a big if. Meanwhile, we would have won more Cup and PPL trophies as his team has won division championships." - JSmoove (through a press secretary)

In describing the potential achievements of Johnas Dispo, franchise player of Red Horse Beermen, JSmoove, manager of Celestial Wrath did not hesitate to display his intention to acquire the budding superstar, and this quote looked like a sales pitch that projected the possibility of him reaching the PPL in the later years of his career if he stays with his team.

9) "we will dominate Dispo so much that he would wish that he's part of our bench at the end of the game." - JSmoove (through a press secretary)

This quote came from the same press release as #10. This time, press asked if JSmoove were afraid of Red Horse Beermen if they met in the future. An even hotter quote is to be uttered regarding the matter in the succeeding ranks.

8) "As for Huck Finn, he's just known as Dispo's owner, nothing more." - JSmoove (through a press secretary)

Although a condescending statement by nature, it re-established the gap between the two parties. An old school burn indeed.

7) "But that is just the nature of SOB Jsmoove. To him everything is just a commodity for him to win." - Gaudioso Dabandan

An obviously frustrated Dabandan dropped a pipebomb on his former manager about the situation he was in before his departure. In this statement, he alleges his manager's tendency to look at his players as commodity and selling them when they are still at prime to get the most value out of them.

6) "His current manager has been stubborn about the matter. We inquired about him and the manager wanted 8 million for him. He deserves to be in a mental institution." - JSmoove

Mental Institutions aren't a laughing matter, but that is how JSmoove described Huck Finn in regards to their failed deal to transfer Dispo to the reigning PPL and Cup champs.

5) "As a sign of friendship Lolo Smithz has sent over ten boxes of herbal tea to Huck Finn. It's rumored Mr. Huck Finn drinks too much beer" - Lolo Smithz press release

The statement came after the fact that negotiations between Red Horse Beermen and Lolo Smithz's Zebu Mayas had broken down. The humor in the quote comes from the fact that the Huck Finn's team does represent an alcoholic beverage that is associated with the alleged rumors about him.

4) "He's half the player that I am. I have played in B3 games before he was even out of his diapers" - Gaudioso Dabandan

In a show of pride by the former NT mainstay, Dabandan slams Dispo over the latter's selection to the team.

3) I may not be as good as you are now, but I am trying my best to become just like you if not better than you" - Johnas Dispo

The most discussed player of the moment, Johnas Dispo made this strong statement in a response to Dabandan's #4 statement.

2) As a matter of fact, WE, I and JSmoove, deserved to be in a mental institution, I being his doctor and him being my patient. - Huck Finn

Huck Finn tried to put the joke on JSmoove as the Beermen head responded to the #6 statement. Talk about a counter-strike.

1) "Are they even in the cup?" - JSmoove

If your team is no longer in the Philippine Cup, you'd be burned to death if this was directed at you.
