PBA OPENS 33RD SEASON

The PBA opens its 33rd season last Sunday. With some new rules and rookies to watch out for, PBA seems to be promising this season. What excite me about the opening season are the muses of each team. My favorite muse or I must say were Marianne Rivera of Talk N Text and Iwa Moto of Barangay Ginebra, their beauty and figure were jaw dropping and they are oozing with lots of sex appeal. Pokwang just ruined the opening with her not so funny antics and she just don’t fit as a muse for Coke or any other team.

Magnolia, formerly known as San Miguel Beer, blasted Air 21 on opening day. With a deep roster loaded with a lot of talent, expect Magnolia to reach the Finals. Already loaded with lot of stars in their line up, Magnolia added Larry Fonacier from Red Bull and rookie Jonas Villanueva from FEU. Back are Danny Seigle and Dondon Hontiveros after suiting up for the National team in a disappointing finish in FIBA Asia.

Earlier tonight, Purefoods won over Sta. Lucia Realtors. Talk N Text winning over Alaska Aces. With an injury free lineup, Purefoods has shown what they are capable of when they are healthy. Although I might add that Sta. Lucia Realtors are full of rookies and some acquisition from other teams most importantly Joseph Yeo. Talk N Text beat their last conference tormentor, Alaska Aces. Asi Taulava, Ren Ren Ritualo and Jimmy Alapag are back in the line up of the Phone Pals. High scoring of Willie Miller went into naught as the Aces dropped their opening game.

On Friday we’ll have the chance how will Joe De Vance, this year’s top pick, fair up as the Welcoat Dragons goes up against Coca Cola Tigers. But after that, bring in the whole gang, no I mean the entire neighborhood, it will be Barangay Ginebra’s first game. The Fast and the Furious duo of Barangay Ginebra have return. Expect Ginebra to walk freely against Red Bull. I think Red Bull is throwing in a lot of good players these year with the likes of Enrico Villanueva, Lordy Tugade and Larry Fonacier.

The PBA may have lost its glory days, but expect that to return soon as there are lot more local player drafted than Fil-Am these year. And if the Big J comes back as coach or commissioner, expect people to troop to the games once again.
