DANNY SEIGLE STARS AS MAGNOLIA GETS BACK AT PUREFOODS: Dynamite Danny back in action, scatters 27 markers to lead all scorers

Danny Seigle proved it once again that an injury would not hinder him from giving his best performance. Having been sidelined for several games already due to an injury, Danny Seigle dished out one of his best performance this conference.

That's the mark of a true champion - getting up after being down. Do you remember how he fought back after a career-threatening achilles tendon injury that took him out of the Busan Asian Games delegation?

Danny Seigle was among players who dished out a remarkable basketball game likely to impress foreign scouts up in the gallery.

Coming back from sickbay, Seigle came through with a personal conference high 27 points, and Magnolia got back at Purefoods, 88-81, in the 2008 Smart PBA Fiesta Conference elimination round at the Araneta Coliseum Friday night.

The Wagner U product, averaging only 17 points before the basketball game, outdid himself as he went 2-of-2 from the three-point area, 7-of-15 from two-point range and 7-of-9 from the stripe, dealing the Giants tremendous blows as the Magnolia Beverage Masters avenged their 125-127 loss in their previous tiff.

Jameel Watkins, Lordy Tugade and Dondon Hontiveros added at least 11 points apiece for Magnolia, which finished the first half of the preliminaries tied with Air21 at 5-4.

Nino Canaleta, with 29 points, starred for the Express as they clobbered the Coca-Cola Tigers, 104-86, in an earlier basketball game also watched by foreign coaches, including former Red Bull import Tony Lang.

Now an assistant coach for the Mitsubishi team in the Japanese League, Lang, a one-time PBA Best Import awardee, was particularly impressed with Canaleta.

A number of coaches from the Japanese and Korean leagues are now in the country, scouting the imports currently playing in the PBA.

Watkins and Reda Rhalimi both had mediocre showing in the contest taken over by Seigle.

Seigle scored practically from all angles and personally delivered the killer blow on the Giants with a three-pointer beating the shot-clock buzzer that made it 87-79 for Magnolia Beverage Masters entering the final minute of the contest.

Minus injured ace forward Kerby Raymundo, the Giants started flat but waged a fiery chase, putting pressure on the Magnolia Beverage Masters towards the end.

The Giants fell short on their comeback bid, though, suffering a fifth defeat against three wins.

"By no means, pangit ang pagka-panalo namin. Wala na nga si Kerby, nahirapan pa kaming manalo. But of course a win is a win," said Magnolia coach Siot Tanquingcen.

"A 5-4 record halfway through the elims is a pretty decent record. But we still have a lot of room to improve on. We have to become better if we’re to contend for at least the semifinals," Tanquingcen added.

Raymundo sat out the game due to an injured knee. Enrico Villanueva started in Raymundo's spot in his absence, and the former Ateneo Eagle paced the team with 18 points.

Seigle buckled down to work early, tossing in 12 points as Magnolia raced to a 31-11 lead at the end of the first period.

Tugade took over in the second period and, with support from Olsen Racela and Hontiveros, the Magnolia Beverage Masters stretched their spread to 24 twice towards the end of the second period.

The Magnolia Beverage Masters took full control right away while converting 63.6 percent of their field-goal shots in the first 24 minutes of play. The Giants, on the other hand, struggled with a 29.7 percent shooting in the same stretch. (NC)

The scores:

Magnolia 88 – Seigle 27, Watkins 15, Tugade 11, Hontiveros 11, Cortez 9, Bono 6, Racela 6, Pingris 3, Calaguio 0, Pena 0.

Purefoods 81 – Villanueva 18, Rhalimi 17, Salvador 14, Yap J. 13, Simon 11, Yap R. 4. Lanete 2, Yee 2, Sanz 0, Evangelista 0.

Quarterscores: 31-11, 53-29, 66-60, 88-81.

Magnolia Eyes Revenge vs. Deadly Purefoods TJ Giants

The Purefoods Tender Juicy Giants spoiled our team's debut game in a close game that went into double overtime if I'm not mistaken. Purefoods was backed by a monster game by Darius Rice that time.

With that, I guess it's time to show them that we can also beat them. The team has slowly found its rythm and is confident to avenge that close game against the Giants.

Tigers Try to Get Back on the Groove

Games Today: (Araneta Coliseum)
4:50 p.m. – Air21 vs Coca-Cola
7:20 p.m. – Purefoods vs Magnolia

JUST the other night, Coca-Cola was trying to pull off one great comeback. Now, the Tigers will have to forget all about that failed attempt, and try to get back on their feet.

Deprived of a critical win Wednesday, Coca-Cola sees action for the second time in three days eyeing to post its seventh win when it clashes with Air21, even as Purefoods shoots for its first-ever back-to-back wins in the Smart PBA Philippine Cup at the Araneta Coliseum.

“The Tigers’ ability to get back from a defeat will be put to a test again,” said Coca-Cola coach Binky Favis. “This time, it’s going to be tougher since we only have one day to bounce back after a loss. We should put aside what happened in our last basketball game and focus on Air21.”

Doing so looks easy, but in reality, it may be difficult. The Tigers were on the brink of posting perhaps one of the PBA’s greatest comebacks when they wiped out a 30-point, 56-26 deficit against Alaska. They even led, 84-82 in the fourth quarter but lost steam against a team that’s always been known to play tough in the stretch.

In the end, Coca-Cola went down 99-91, its only third defeat in nine basketball games but still crucial since it denied the Tigers a share of the lead with Red Bull (7-2, win-loss) at the close of the first round eliminations.

The Tigers, however, will have the chance to get back on the winning track and break away from a tie with idle Talk ‘N Text. But they would have to do it against a ball club Favis is always wary off.

“We always struggle when we play Air21,” said Favis.

Favis has every reason to feel like that. The Express were one of only three ball clubs that have so far dealt them a defeat, a 102-95 win in the first round last April 13. Although in the upper half of the standings, Coca-Cola couldn’t afford to lose this one at a time when the race for two outright semifinals berths has fiercely began.

“Every win now counts,” said Favis.

With a 4-4 record, the Express are tied with Magnolia, which plays Purefoods in the main 7:20 p.m. basketball game. Like the Tigers, they are seeking to rebound from a defeat after absorbing a 113-100 loss to Philippine Cup champion Sta. Lucia Realty last May 11.

While it may be in the lower half of the standings, Purefoods has started to feel confident again after scoring a tough win over the defending champion Aces in Bohol last May 10.

Backstopped with a new import in 7-foot-1 Moroccan Reda Rhalimi, the Giants played like a team of old and beat the Aces 88-78, a victory coach Ryan Gregorio said was a sign of how their defense has improved a lot.

“We have regained our confidence. We have tremendously improved on our defense. Hopefully, we gain our first winning streak this conference,” said Gregorio.

In their last six basketball games prior to the outing against Alaska, the Giants have allowed opponents to score at an average of 106 points.

But Rhalimi’s entry changed all that. He wasn’t necessarily an explosive scorer the way Darius Rice was, but made up for that with defense. In the win against the Aces, he had 14 points and 12 rebounds, and blocked five shots.

Rhalimi could end up as the perfect fit for the Giants, who don’t really need an trigger-happy import since they have James Yap and Kerby Raymundo to take care of the scoring load.

“Rhalimi answered our problems in rebounding and interior defense,” said Gregorio.

This is the second time that the Giants will play the Beverage Masters, seeking a sweep after Rice led them to victory in the first round.

But Magnolia is aching to get back and move up to fifth spot in the leaderboard.

“Every basketball game is crucial at this stage,” said Magnolia coach Siot Tanquingcen. “Purefoods is a dangerous team, they can take the basketball game away from you at any point of the basketball game.”

Magnolia Beverage Masters Lose To Coca-Cola Tigers Sans Two Danny's

It's really hard to win without the proper materials and resources you need to put a good fight. That's what happened in this game where the Coca-cola Tigers pounded on the hapless Magnolia Beverage Masters that played without its two Danny's - Danny Seigle and Danny Ildefonso.

I was able to watch the game and witnessed the butchery that happened in the fourth quarter where the Tigers made full use of the team's lack of firepower in offense.

GERVIN POWERS COCA-COLA TIGERS OVER MAGNOLIA BEVERAGE MASTERS: Tigers regain share of lead with Red Bull

Source: PBA.ph
Friday, 09 May 2008

Import George “Gee” Gervin Jr. scored a personal conference-high of 35 points to power Coca-Cola to a 106-92 win opposite Magnolia Beverage Masters in the Smart-PBA Fiesta Conference Friday night at the Araneta Coliseum.

With the Magnolia's defense focused on the Tigers’ other reinforcement Jason Dixon, Gervin, the son of former NBA great George “The Iceman” Gervin, was unstoppable most of the time.

The 6-foot-1 Gervin converted 13-of-26 from the field, including 6-of-10 from the three-point territory and went 3-of-4 from the foul line in 33 minutes of basketball play. He added five rebounds, four assists and a steal.

Asi Taulava, the 2003 Most Valuable Player (MVP), came through with double-double of 21 points and 15 rebounds, while rookie guard Ronjay Buenafe added 13 markers.

The win propelled Coke to top of the lead, tying Red Bull with identical 6-2 cards, while Magnolia dropped to sixth spot with 4-4 record.

“It was right from the opening tip that Magnolia had the mindset to take away Dixon out of his basketball game,” Coke mentor Bink Favis said. “But we came prepared for that. I’m glad that small guys delivered.”

The 6-foot-10 Dixon, who averaged 25.1 points in his first seven basketball games, was held to seven points, the lowest output by an import this conference.

Dixon, however, was a force at the middle of Coke’s interior defense as he grabbed a personal conference-best of 17 rebounds that best typified his team’s dominance at the boards, 59-51.

“I think defense was the key in this victory,” Favis added. “I’m glad that, I think for the first time, we won a little convincingly.”

“It gets more difficult by the day, it gets harder and harder. But we’ll just take it one basketball game at a time,” Favis, whose team will face defending champion Alaska on Wednesday and Air21 on Friday.

The 35-point output of Gervin eclipsed his previous high of 26 during his debut when Coke lost to Air21, 95-102, last April 13.

The Tigers used a 15-4 run to start the fourth period that turned a close 75-71 advantage after three quarters, to 90-75 with 5:52 left in the basketball game.

Coke had its biggest lead at 20 points, 100-80, on two free throws by Buenafe, the former Emilio Aguinaldo College (EAC) stalwart, off a Mike Cortez foul with 3:10 left in the basketball game.

The Tigers shot 37-of-86 or 43 percent from the field, while the Beverage Masters were held to a 31-of-86 shooting or 36 percent.

Magnolia got 23 points from Lordy Tugade, while import Jameel Watkins added 14 with 12 rebounds. Cortez also had 14. (WG)

The scores:

Coke 106 – Gervin 35, Taulava 21, Buenafe 13, Belasco 9, Cabagnot 8, Dixon 7, Telan 7, Macapagal 6, Catli 0, Dimaunahan 0.

Magnolia 92 – Tugade 23, Watkins 14, Cortez 14, Hontiveros 11, Pingris 7, Calaguio 6, Samigue 4, Racela 4, Villanueva 3, Gonzales 3, Tolomia 3, Pena 0.

Quarterscores: 22-26; 50-51; 75-71; 106-92.

Post Basketball Game Commentary

The abscense of Danny Seigle and Danny Ildefonso was very evident in this basketball game. The team encountered a scoring drought early in the fourth quarter and no Danny Seigle was there to provide the needed points.

The team needed an additional defensive player when Jameel Watkins was in foul trouble but then Danny Ildefonso was not there to provide it. As a result, the Coca-cola tigers pounded it inside the paint and dominated the boards.

It's an acceptable loss for the team. It's good that they were able to get the basketball game close at the half. The second half saw the team's lack of manpower. Coca-cola should be happy with the win. On our next basketball game, it will be a different story.

COCA-COLA, TALK N TEXT SEEK SHARE OF 1ST : But both expect no cakewalk in Friday twinbill

Magnolia Beverage Masters will be up against the towering frontliners of the Coca-Cola Tigers lead by monster import Jason Dixon and Fil-Tongan Asi Taulava.

The basketball team will be put to another test as it will come into the game less their main offensive weapon in Danny Seigle. Will the remaining local screw respond to the challenge? That question will be answered after this game.

COCA-COLA, TALK N TEXT SEEK SHARE OF 1ST : But both expect no cakewalk in Friday twinbill

They may be coming from opposite directions, but Coca-Cola and Talk and Text have something in common when the take the court Friday night.

For obvious reasons, the two teams have trained their sights at W number six that would allow them to stay abreast with Red Bull on top of the leader board and bolster their bid for outright semifinal berths in the 2008 Smart PBA Fiesta Conference.

Chot Reyes, who took over the reins from Derrick Pumaren at the end of the Philippine Cup, said he and his players are still in the process of getting to know each other but the team's impressive start in the season-ending conference seems to belie that.

The Phone Pals have won four of six ballgames highlighted by a three ballgame winning streak that earned them the distinction as the league's hottest team.

With a pair of hardworking and unselfish imports and a dependable cast, Coca-Cola managed to squeeze itself in the company of the league's early leaders. But the Tigers looked sluggish after the All-Star break and absorbed a 75-82 beating from Red Bull last Wednesday that snapped a two ballgame run.

But the Tigers will be recharged after a week-long break when they march onto the floor for their 4:50 p.m. date with the Magnolia Beverage Masters at the Araneta Coliseum as they attempt to regain lost ground.

Gee Gervin and Jason Dixon are complementing each other so well and if Asi Taulava, Nic Belasco and Ronjay Buenafe get their ballgame going, the Tigers should be in good stead.

Certainly, Magnolia Beverage Masters are no pushover. With cast that includes Dondon Hontiveros, Danny Ildefonso, Mike Cortez, Mark Pingris and Lordy Tugade, the team is a certified title contender.

The Magnolia Beverage Masters are currently in the middle of the pack with a 4-3 record that it shares with Sta. Lucia and Air21.

While the Coca-Cola Tigers – Magnolia Beverage Masters duel promises to be another thrilling encounter that’s too close to call, the Phone Pals are favored over the Welcoat Dragons in the scheduled 7:20 p.m. showdown.

But Reyes cautioned that the Dragons are a dangerous team.

"Their two victories are against elite teams and three of their five losses could have been won ballgames. So we can't take Welcoat for granted. We have to stay focused and do the things that we have to do," Reyes said.

Although he is pleased with their showing so far, Reyes emphasized that it's the team's growth and not the position that matters to him at this point in time.

Against the Dragons he said: "We'll come to the ballgame and see how much we've grown over the season." (DBC)

MAGNOLIA BEVERAGE MASTERS HALT RED BULL RUN ON THE ROAD: Tugade, Racela Shine Brightest Against Barakos

Without Danny Seigle to produce the needed points, Lordy Tugade and Olsen Racela took charge to stop Red Bull's run in an out-of-town basketball game.

It was a come-from-behind win with the Barakos controlling most of the ballgame until the late charge by the Beverage Masters. One major keys in winning this ballgame was the stoppage of Red Bull's main man Cyrus Baguio.

MAGNOLIA BEVERAGE MASTERS HALT RED BULL RUN ON THE ROAD: Tugade, Racela Shine Brightest Against Barakos

Source: PBA.ph
Saturday, 03 May 2008

LIPA CITY. – Enough of the classic Red Bull endgame comebacks and giant-killing ways.

The Magnolia Beverage Masters never let the Barakos come close to pulling off another miracle rally in the stretch of a 102-95 win on the road Saturday night.

Lordy Tugade torched his former team for 22 points while Olsen Racela turned back the hands of clock to score 19 markers – on a 7-of-10 shooting from the field – for a Magnolia Beverage Masters team that secured the victory by forcing 11 Red Bull turnovers and holding its opponent scoreless in a big game-turning third period.

Until that crucial meltdown, the Barakos were in complete control of the exciting ballgame at the La Salle Centrum here.

Even without star forward Danny Seigle for the second straight ballgame, the Magnolia Beverage Masters continued their slow push on the upper half of the Smart-PBA Fiesta Conference standings, notching their fourth win in seven ballgames and somehow, easing the pain of their embarrassing 101-108 setback at the hands of the Welcoat Dragons Wednesday night.

Seigle again sat out the ballgame due to a foot injury.

The Barakos, whose last two ballgames were punctuated by thrilling comeback victories, meanwhile, fell to a share of the top spot with idle Coca-Cola, both with similar 5-2 (win-loss) cards.

Import Adam Parada led the team with 22 points and 24 rebounds but seemed too exhausted at the time the Beverage Masters were in the midst of their searing scoring run in the second half.

Red Bull thus failed in its bid to become the first team in the conference to win four in a row.

Trailing 60-68 with 5:52 to go in the third, Magnolia Beverage Masters began to make its move which Racela sparked with a booming trey that led to an 11-0 blast.

The 15-year veteran guard then capped the run with a lay-up that barely beat the buzzer, giving the Beverage Masters a 71-68 lead heading to the final 12 minutes.

Red Bull allowed the deficit to balloon to as many as 85-74, before it found its rhythm and tried to make a last ditch rally.

And they almost succeeded.

A three-pointer by Mick Pennisi had the Barakos outscoring the opposition, 15-8, in a four-minute span that cut Magnolia Beverage Masters lead to 89-93 with 1:46 left.

The Barakos were still in the ballgame, 97-92, when the scoring binge finally fizzled out, cut short by a dagger trey courtesy of Hontiveros that made it an 8-point Magnolia Beverage Masters lead.

Hontiveros also had 19 points for Magnolia Beverage Masters, while import Jameel Watkins and Mike Cortez likewise finished in double figures with 18 and 10, respectively.

Averaging 25.3 points in the Barakos’ 3-game winning run, Cyrus Baguio was held to just 17 this time. (GR)


The scores:

Magnolia Beverage Masters 102 – Tugade 22, Racela 19, Hontiveros 19, Watkins 18, Cortez 10, Pingris 6, Pena 4, Gonzales 2, Tolomia 2, Bono 0, Calaguio 0.

Red Bull Barako 95 – Parada 22, Baguio 17, Hrabak 14, Duncil 8, Cruz 8, Pennisi 6, Najorda 5, Sharma 4, Alvarez 4, Ybanez 0, Adriano 0.

Quarterscores: 28-26; 49-55; 71-68; 102-95.

Red-Hot Welcoat Dragons Burned Magnolia Beverage Masters

Was this a case of overconfidence by the Magnolia Beverage Masters? The team could have easily dispatch a team like the Welcoat Dragons, which has been the favorite whipping boys of the basketball league - but not tonight.

It's very evident that the team sorely missed the offensive power of forward Danny Seigle when the team needed to produce the needed points to catch up. Their defense also was not enough as the Welcoat imports devoured them by scoring big points.

ERSTWHILE SLEEPING DRAGONS NOW FULLY AWAKE
After 15-game losing streak, Gainous-led Welcoat beats Magnolia Beverage Masters for 2nd straight win


Source: PBA.ph
Wednesday, 30 April 2008

Import Marquis Gainous scored 24 of his game-high 32 points in the second half, powering Welcoat to a 108-101 stunning win opposite Magnolia Beverage Masters at the resumption of the PBA Fiesta Conference Wednesday night at the Araneta Coliseum.

Gainous, who came up with his highest scoring ballgame in the conference, also provided the leadership and tenacity by playing tough defense on counterpart Jameel Watkins, limiting the Magnolia Beverage Masters import to just four points in the final frame.

It was the first back-to-back wins for the Dragons in this season-ending conference as they improved to 2-4.

Welcoat’s other import Corey Santee also had a big ballgame with 23 points, while rookie Joe Devance contributed 15 points.

The win came exactly 10 days after the team owned by Raymund Yu an Terry Que had its first win this conference when it downed Purefoods TJ Hotdogs, 110-103, last April 20.

Since entering the league last season, this is only the second time Welcoat has won back-to-back ballgames, the first one happening right before it went on that 15-game losing streak. The Dragons defeated Talk ‘N Text in OT 126-125 in the previous Phil1ppine Cup last Nov. 11 before defeating curiously also Magnolia Beverage Masters 95-93 five days later.

As for Magnolia Beverage Masters, the setback ended a three-game winning run, which leveled its win-loss card to 3-3.

“Akala ko it’s going to be a long while for us to win again because of the long break,” Welcoat’s interim coach Caloy Garcia said.

“We’re sluggish at practice. But we showed what character we have in this ballgame. Every ballgame we play is always like a championship for us,” Garcia said. “I’m proud of my players, everyone know their roles.”

With the score tied at 86 with seven minutes to play, Gainous, who replaced the ineffective Jason Keep, starred in a 9-0 run by nailing two consecutive jumpers and a booming triple that gave Welcoat a 95-86 lead with 2:50 left.

“He’s (Gainous) been playing good the last two, three ballgames,” Garcia said.

The 6-foot-10 Gainous, who, like Santee, attended Texas Christian University (TCU), said that with the way things are going for the Dragons, he’s confident that they can make it all the way to the playoffs.

“I think we can go pretty far. Yes, as far as the championship. We can do that, but we have to work more on defense and limit our turnovers,” Gainous said.

The Dragons also got double figures from sophomore center Jay-Arr Reyes (13 points) and rookie Guard Ryan Arana (12 points).

Welcoat actually dictated the first half when it outscored the Magnolia Beverage Masters, 21-12, in the second period, limiting its opponent to 4-of-14 field goals or 28.6 percent and forced Magnolia Beverage Masters to commit 10 turnovers, which it translated to 10 points.

Devance’s three-pointer sparked a 17-6 run, giving his team an 11-point lead, 48-37.

However, Magnolia Beverage Masters, which played without superstar forward Danny Seigle (foot injury), closed the gap at 48-41 halftime.

The Magnolia Beverage Masters finally regained the lead on a three-pointer by veteran guard Lordy Tugade, 65-62, with 3:54 left in the third period.

Tugade finished with 24 points, 18 of them in that third period, while Dondon Hontiveros, who became the 12th member of the 500 3-point club with his two triples in the first quarter, had 15. Hontiveros went 3-for-6 from the three-point territory. (WG)

The scores:

Welcoat Dragons 108 – Gainous 32, Santee 23, De Vance 15, Reyes 13, Arana 12, Dulay 5, Ibanes 3, Wainwright 3, Isip 2, Salangsang 0.

Magnolia Beverage Masters 101 – Watkins 26, Tugade 24, Hontiveros 15, Pingris 11, Ildefonso 10, Cortez 9, Calaguio 4, Pena 2, Villanueva 0, Gonzales 0, Racela 0.
