STA. Lucia Realty is an old hand in playing defense while the usually offensive-minded Air21 is just getting acclimatized to that attitude. And the Realtors showed the Express a thing or two about how to make stops the right way by stifling Air21 no end to come out a 113-100 victory Sunday in the Smart PBA Fiesta Conference at the Araneta Coliseum. |

CALAPE, Bohol – At least in their initial outing with Reda Rhamili, the Purefoods Giants proved themselves right in their decision to junk Darius Rice. The Giants were back in their old scheme with Rhamili in tow, checking a three-game skid in the 2007-08 Smart PBA Fiesta Conference with an 88-78 win over the Alaska Milk Aces in their road showdown at the Calape Sports Center here Saturday night. |

IT is not only Talk ‘N Text’s opponents which are often left dazed and dazzled by Mark Cardona’s game.

If I were to describe the current 2007-2008 PBA season, I simply would call it busy. It gives me a feeling of the Ayala Stock Exchange with the trading frenzy that started from the preseason. Player movements through trades have been constantly in sporting pages and have been the most I’ve ever witnessed in the PBA. But it is not just the number of players that have moved, what you have to take notice of are the amount of quality players that have changed addresses. No one has been spared this year; an MVP, BPC, Most Improved Player, Rookie of the Year, national team players, lottery picks and future superstars, have all been victims by the trading bug. |
