TGIF MANILA COUNTING ON HOMECOURT EDGE

After taking home a dramatic win in Game 1, the TGIF MANILA look to close out their opponent as they welcome the Team Polydozel to Fridays Coliseum for a crucial Game 2 BB Finals matchup.

"It'd be a great challenge for us again,'' Roberto Alfonso said. "We would be excited to play. I think they'd be excited to play us, too. I'm sure they'd have revenge on their minds. I think it'd be a good matchup. It'd be a good story to write."

"A little deja vu” Ceasar Hijastro. "It doesn't matter who we play or where. I'm just excited to get the game started and hopefully try to win a championship."

Jubas Beasts Settles for Third

Manila - In a knockout game for third place in the League 1.1, the Jubas Beasts have beaten San Miguel Beermen 111-68(4151157). The Beasts pulverized the sister team of the Celestial Punks in high scoring game. The Boozies weren't able to keep up with the high-tempo game which the Beasts forced them to play. Noel Louzada paced his team with the game high 29 points. While the Beasts big men kept Mario Cane in check by bringing in fresh legs to guard him.

Coach Alas said the following statement after the game. "It was great to win against the sister of the team that knocked us off the playoffs. Though we're still disappointed that we're not able to play for the rings, we have to leave it at that and focus on making another run next season. With new and better teams coming in, it will be a tough task but I know that my boys are up to it. Oh yeah, congrats to the Jologs for living another day to fight."

team Polydozel managed to win game 2

One thing that's being said in the past news, is that whoever got the home-court advantage has a pretty good chance in winning the finals game.

However, it seems that it is not the case in this certain league finals series.

Team Polydozel managed to win impressively against TGIF MANILA by the score of 111-98, at TGIF's Fridays Coliseum. Mervyn Jemora was the high-point man with 27 points, 4 assists, and 2 steals, in 39 minutes of game time.

One notable scene there is the uncanny fourth-quarter rally by the team Polydozel. Wherein, their deadly Full court pressing shut down TGIF MANILA, resulting in 10 steals in the four minutes in the said quarter.

"You really can't say whether team Polydozel did very well on reading TGIF MANILA, or if TGIF MANILA really played sloppily in the last minutes of the ball game." says Anthony Suntay, PBA Analyst and sports commentator. "TGIF MANILA was leading the fourth quarter alone, all before the 4 minute 'Hell Court Press' displayed by team Polydozel"

Melencio Tanas had a 24 point, 7 rebound, and 3 steal performance, And the high tower duo of Simeon Tongson and Hernando Nellas stormed the game with a combined stat of 24 points, 19 rebounds, and 13 ridiculous steals.

"Those guys were fun to watch, they really did a good job on running the defense... they hustled unbelievably well." says the Polydozel coach.

All but Quirico Cuaresma managed to produce at least 2 steals against TGIF MANILA.

"They were really read, they totaled 31 steals at the second game of the finals, in their opponent's home court." says one Polydozel fan.

The third and final game will be held at PAL Arena on Saturday, and teams speculated that with the two teams' performance, it is very unlikely to produce a prediction.

"The first two games will be slated now. Back to square one. and judgment day will come on Saturday. These two teams will really raise hell over. I dunno which team will win." says one league analyst.

Ateneo Fans sold out Bleachers and Lower Tier seats of Peoples Center, Home of Celestial Fury

The Ateneo Jologs comes up strong in their last 2 games of the Premiere League Championship. Manager Aldo sponsored his fans by buying out literally all of the bleacher and lower tier seats of the home team. The arena of Celestial Fury was filled with Ateneo Jologs fans! "I gave the celestial fury the first game but I told my players to give their best and put their passion for basketball in the last two games. The boys are following my directions very well, and that's bearing fruit. they didnt let me down! This championship is dedicated for the fans of Ateneo Jologs! im glad for their support and I gave them what they deserve."

The peoples Center was everything but quiet. Fans chanting. shouting "MVP" for Ubaldo Nudalo everytime he steps in the freethrow. everytime his fellow teammate makes the first freethrow and missing the second, Ubaldo grabs his offensive rebound and sinking the tip in.

"We deserve to win it, we are deserved winners. It is just because we are the team that has done the most to win it, we are the underdogs between San Miguiel Beermen, Celestial Fury and Jubas Beasts. But I couldnt do this on my own. We played a good defense as a team! Erman stopped Caraballo, Ellis stopped Estolaga and I stopped Olandria and Cote. The fans helped us with the finals! Our fans are truly like a sixth man for the team. without them, we will surely not be here! I mean, we are not a strong team. we struggled during the earlier of regulation games." commented Ubaldo Nudalo.

It is currently in talks about the Ateneo Jologs team name will be changed before next season. "the board of Ateneo Jologs are talking about this and will most likely push through. I know Ateneo Jologs is a lousy team name especially some manager feels he is great being in Ateneo med school. Mr. RNA will surely be glad that his team Ateneo Conyos will get more pride. we are still open for team name suggestions from our beloved fans. as of now, we recieved a lot of both lousy and honorable team names!" laughed manager Aldo.

Polydozel achieved back to back promotion; Ateneo Jologs name change swarming across the web

It has been decided. Team Polydozel wins season 4 league II.3 championship. Team Polydozel wins 2 championships, 2 promotions in consecutive seasons. And, nothing could be more happier than the manager himself.

"Hard work really does pay off." says the team manager Katchafire Collie. "I'm very grateful to have them also as my players, as my dream, our dream, may come into a reality sooner than we would think."

It has been said by the team that their main priority is to be one among the pros. joining the premier league, is their goal.

"For us, these are very honoring awards, and we will carry this experience when we come into the Premier." says big man Simeon Tongson.

Many believe that the team's manager should be awarded Manager of the Year. If ever there was one. Because of his excellent acquisitions of players and staff that made this team one of the more known teams within the country.

"We may be one step away on achieving promotion to the top league. But this doesn't stop our reigning. Our main goal is to achieve pro status and be winners. We may achieve to reach the first levels with ease, but the top level is the main event. It would be harder later on." says Melencio Tanas.

In other news, It was announced that Premier Division's Ateneo jologs will be changing their team name, as reported on the BB Sports network.

"the board of Ateneo Jologs are talking about this and will most likely push through." Says Ateneo Jologs manager Aldo. "as of now, we recieved a lot of both lousy and honorable team names!"

Most of them came from the world wide web, with hundreds of thousands of fans submitted their entries. Some gave wacky team names, some are more of for a military faction, some are simple, and some... hmm... to be more specific, are made by Aliens.

One website, www.supportjologs.net, made a list of what team names should Ateneo Jologs be probable to be picked. The list consists:

- Ateneo Med School basketball club
- pro-Ateneo
- team Jologs

...and some that doesn't rule the 'Ateneo Jologs' lineage.

- Wolf Pax
- the Aliens' team
- Dunkin Go'Nuts!
- Cosa Nostra basketball club Philippines

rumors are also spreading about basketball apparel teams, and sponsor teams are in talks with Aldo and the management in talks with sponsoring the team in exchange for their team named with their sponsors... although, this was not confirmed.

team Polydozel thrilled at their promotion

The team Polydozel are thrilled at their received news, that they will play for the top league in the country... league I.1.

Along with fellow league II champions Pampanga Dragons (Lg II.1), CPP-NPA (Lg II.2), and Wandsworth Demons (Lg II.4), team Polydozel will represent League II.3 as the ambassadors from season 4, fighting their way out of relegation.

"Relegation from this league is not an option for us, But, I have to say that this will be no easy task. As we will have a hard time to come up with a win." says the team coach. "This league is composed of champions from all over the country, and This is the time that we have to give 200% each game."

Along with CPP-NPA, team Polydozel is already being predicted to be the ones who will fight off relegation. Critics and pundits alike stated.

"The performance of team Polydozel's first two seasons were really impressive. A feat that a few can do." says one sports analyst. "But with this feat also, the team will be playing with the pros with little experiences with them. All through their journey, they only played with one league I team, Red Dragons... but that isn't enough."

"Polydozels will bring their immaturity and less experience, and might bring their team down again to the semi-pro leagues." says another analyst. "They may not be relegated, but they will fight for it for a long time."

Furious Polydozel fans charged the websites and free flowing of words start to exchange throughout the web.

Even some Polydozel players gave their two cents worth on the subject.

"It's true that we are one of the teams with little, or no, experience for the pro-game." says Hernando Nellas. "But nobody can tell what place we would be other than us, and our efforts."

"This is our destiny, and we will do everything we can, for us to be recognized as one of the many pro-league regulars... every inch we walk, it's the same path, the path to glory, to the championship." Says Nolie Corneja.

Corneja, Nellas, and Tidalgo, were first-timers in the pro-league. And reports on their role in the coming league are in doubt. But these reports are a non-matter as said by the management.

"They will still be part of the Polydozel system, they play a big part for this is still a young team, and their experience will teach the young players." Says Cristobal Key, Polydozel trainer.

"For now, we don't have any plans for player termination. We are still amidst of analyzing each players for this season, and maybe the announcement will be made by the first or second weeks of the season." Key added.
