HERE THEY COME..... THEN, BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

| UNTITLED by Simple Plan
I open my eyes
I try to see but I'm blinded
By the white light
I can't remember how
I can't remember why
I'm lying here tonight
And I can't stand the pain
And I can't make it go away
No I can't stand the pain
How could this happen to me?
I made my mistakes
Got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me?
Everybody's screaming
I try to make a sound
But no one hears me
I'm slipping off the edge
I'm hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again
So I try to hold onto
A time when nothing mattered
And I can't explain what happened
And I can't erase the things that I've done
No I can't
How could this happen to me?
I made my mistakes
Got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me?
I've made my mistakes
Got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me?

| TITLE NO.17 FOR SAN MIGUEL BEER


EVEN if they found the early goings hard, and appeared to struggle
through the first three quarters, the San Miguel Beermen were still
full of hope.
Hope
that Olsen Racela could deliver when it matters most, hope that Danny
Ildefonso can hit a big-time basket reminiscent of Game Two, hope that
Talk ‘N Text will eventually fold.
All those came into reality, to the dot.
The
San Miguel Beermen finally snapped four long years of waiting in
winning another crown in the Philippine Basketball Association,
outlasting the Phone Pals in a wild, tense match, 91-87, for the Gran
Matador Fiesta Conference title Sunday night at the Cuneta Astrodome.
Racela applied the end-game touches that totally spelled death for the
Phone Pals, his heroics coming as a fitting follow-up to an array of
impressive efforts started off by import Ace Custis and then sustained
by Ildefonso in a gripping see-sawing battle coming home.
The
triumph was molded against a team that was healthy down to its last
reserve, a ballclub made even more powerful by the return of Asi
Taulava, the franchise player, and an import that was again adjudged as
the conference’s best.
But
faced with those obstacles, the Beermen showed that all can be buried
into oblivion by a squad that hungers more for a title.
“It
only goes to show that the players wanted to win more,” said winning
coach Jong Uichico, who claimed his sixth crown as head coach of San
Miguel Beer, moving alongside Tommy Manotoc as the fourth winningest
mentor in the history of the league.
“It
doesn’t matter how many championships you win, it’s the effort that
counts,” Uichico added.
It
was the 17th franchise crown for San Miguel, and it took plenty of
pains and struggles for the Beermen to reach the pinnacle once more.
Although they went into the game holding a commanding 3-1 lead in the
best-of-seven series, the mere thought of closing the Finals seemed
unlikely when the Phone Pals looked poise to extending the series.
Talk
‘N Text didn’t get another big game from Willie Miller (seven points),
Jimmy Alapag (nine points) and Mark Telan (eight points), but was
relatively in control when it held a 66-61 advantage going into the
final period.
Then, all hell broke loose.
Custis hit two booming three-pointers and Ildefonso, chosen Finals MVP
by the PBA Press Corps, added one in a game-turning 11-0 run as the
Beermen stormed ahead 72-66.
It
was only when Alapag knocked down a triple that Talk ‘N Text seized the
lead again at 85-84. But the Phone Pals would yield the advantage once
more on a quick basket by Dorian Pena. Honeycutt retaliated, but
Ildefonso completed his fourth-quarter brilliance by scoring on his
patented semi-hook with 22 seconds to go, 88-87.
The
Phone Pals had 22 full seconds to get back the advantage, but Racela
anticipated an Alapag pass to Miller, and was fouled for two gift shots
that he converted, 90-87.
Honeycutt then launched an ill-advised three-point shot just after an
inbounds pass and with still 12 seconds remaining. His attempt was way
off the mark, the ball landing on Pena’s hands.
Despite getting no double-figure output from any of its players, the
Phone Pals took the first half 42-40 primarily due to mini-runs in each
quarter. Talk ‘N Text led by nine, 35-26, when Felix Belano answered a
three-point shot by Danny Seigle with his own trey halfway through the
first half.
But the Phone
Pals would not score when the Beermen made a rally, coming to within
35-37 and even leveled the count at 40-40 on a split by Danny
Ildefonso. (ZM)
The scores:
San
Miguel (91) – Custis 22, Hontiveros 15, Seigle 15, Pena 15, Ildefonso
12, Racela 8, Adriano 4, Villoria 0, Belasco 0.
Talk
‘N Text (87) – Honeycutt 22, Pablo 10, Belano 10, Taulava 9, Alapag 9,
Telan 8, Miller 7, Carey 6, Ravena 4, Fran 2, Gelig 0, Camaso 0.
Quarterscores: 21-25; 40-42; 61-66; 91-87.
