Aces stay perfect, overcome Painters behind Jefferson

PBA IMAGES Cory Jefferson nailed the go-ahead 3-pointer with 30.1 seconds left as Alaska doused Rain or Shine’s fiery fightback, 105-102, to stay unbeaten in the 2017 PBA Commissioner’s Cup Sunday at Smart Araneta Coliseum. Jefferson fired 41 points and had 13 rebounds, and three assists to lead the Aces to their fourth win in as many games and grab a share of the lead with Meralco. JVee Casio added 16 markers, four of which were the game-sealing free throws, on top of eight assists, and two boards. “Cory hit some big shots. That’s what you’d like to see your import do. And any point guard in the world is expected to make those free throws and that’s what JVee did for us,” said Alaska head coach Alex Compton. Sonny Thoss chipped in 15 points, five rebounds, and two assists as Alaska had redemption in a rematch of last year’s Finals in the same conference. The Elasto Painters had a chance to score after Jefferson’s huge bucket late but Mike Tolomia, who anchored the team’s huge rally from 14 points down, lost the ball when he made a baseline drive with 23.1 ticks remaining. Shawn Taggart still kept ROS afloat, drilling a huge three with 8.6 seconds left to cut the deficit to 103-101, before Casio iced the game with a pair of freebies. Taggart topped Rain or Shine with 40 points and 14 rebounds, while Jericho Cruz had 11 markers, three boards, and three dimes. Tolomia sank all of his nine points in the fourth period, but that couldn’t stop the Elasto Painters from falling to their second straight loss and fall to 3-2. The scores: ALASKA 105 – Jefferson 41, Casio 16, Thoss 15, Abueva 11, Racal 6, Enciso 5, Exciminiano 3, Andrada 3, Pascual 2, Cruz 2, Mendoza 1. RAIN OR SHINE 102 – Taggart 40, Cruz 11, Tolomia 9, Yap 8, Norwood 8, Chan 7, Belga 6, Almazan 4, Washington 4, Tiu 3, Ponferrada 2, Ahanmisi 0. Quarters: 26-29, 50-44, 80-71, 105-102.

Roi Sumang shows worth for Blackwater

Tristan Tamayo/INQUIRER.net Roi Sumang waited for his time, and when it finally came, he made the most of it. The speedy guard out of University of the East reminded every one what he’s capable of, taking charge late as Blackwater pulled off a 103-100 stunner over Alaska on Sunday. “Coming off the bench, I just wanted to do what coach has been telling us, and that’s exactly what we did,” Sumang said in Filipino as he collected 19 points, three steals, and two assists. Sumang said he got his confidence after hitting a 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter. The Elite leaned on Sumang as they took a 92-78 lead midway in the frame. And with JVee Casio and Calvin Abueva leading the Aces’ fightback, Sumang, once again, made the big plays as he scored six of Blackwater’s last eight points to seal the deal. Sumang admitted he was motivated with Casio’s stellar shooting as he wanted to show that he can hang with the league’s elites. “JVee is amazing. He’s one of my idols here in the PBA,” he said. “But coach just told us to not mind who our opponent is. We just had to do what we were tasked and the results speak for itself.” But the Tondo-born guard acknowledged that it’s not every game that things will go his way. “I’m fine playing off the bench because we all get playing time. I’m fine with it,” he said. “We’ll just continue to work hard in our practices. We have to win in our next games so we can position ourselves in the playoffs.” Blackwater (5-4) will face Ginebra next on Friday at Cuneta Astrodome before wrapping up its elimination round against Star on Jan. 25.

Alaska not bothered by injury situation in finals meeting with Rain or Shine

PBA Media Bureau The Alaska Aces haven’t had the easiest road to the Oppo PBA Commissioner’s Cup finals, especially due to the multiple injuries the team has had to face in the tournament. JVee Casio is dealing with a recurring knee problem while Vic Manuel suffered a calf injury. Veteran Eric Menk, too, has been recently sidelined. “JVee is out in the playoffs. Vic, I don’t know if he’ll play again. You noticed Eric Menk hasn’t played in the past two games because he’s injured. So we’re limping to the finals,” Alaska coach Alex Compton told InterAksyon.com. Despite being decimated by injuries, Alaska had shown resolve to win and the team proved it in its best-of-five semifinals series win against the Meralco Bolts. Despite being decimated by injuries, the Aces showed their resolve to win and they proved just what it could do as they hurdled the Meralco Bolts in the semifinals, including the knockout Game 5. “There are a whole lot of possible alibis, but our guys didn’t make use of alibis and they played. Meralco is tough and is well-coached. They’re getting better. They’ll be scary. But I’m so proud of my guys that they stepped up and showed great resolve,” Compton added. Manuel, who has been a steady presence for the Aces this season, isn’t too bothered by the fact that he isn’t playing, especially as he’s seen the way his teammates have responded to his absence. “Hindi naman siguro ako kailangang manghinayang na hindi ako nakakalaro. Kita ko naman yung mga teammates ko, talagang nagpapakamatay para manalo,” Manuel told InterAksyon.com in an exclusive interview. “Talagang pinaghirapan nila na makarating kami sa finals. Nakikita ko naman kahit wala ako sa lineup nila lumalaban pa rin sila.” Calvin Abueva and Cyrus Baguio, who needed to step up big to fill in the void left by their injured teammates, remained confident they will get the job done. “Hindi naman namin pinoproblema kung wala yung mga gumagawa sa amin ang iniisip namin, as a team kaming naglalaro,” Abueva said. Baguio added that the team is viewing their bad luck not as a problem but as an opportunity. “Alam niyo naman yung sistema namin, hindi eight players lang, lahat kami nagagamit. This time, siguro iniisip ng iba na pagkakataon na nila na ipakita na deserving sila sa position nila, like si RJ (Jazul) nakikita niya na kaya niyang dalhin yung team, si Chris (Banchero) andyan rin. Kumbaga sa amin yung opportunity na naibigay sa amin,” Baguio said. “Alam naman natin na malaking tulong sina Jvee, si Vic tsaka si Eric. One game at a time lang siguro. Umpisahan namin sa Friday.” http://j.mp/1YbP3Ij

PAUL LEE STORY

Tingin ko kailangan na talagang pakawalan ng Rain or shine si Paul Lee kung nagrerequest na talaga ito ng trade, Ros din kasi ang mahihirapan sa kanya kasi for sure hindi ibibigay ni Paul Lee ang 100% niya sa paglalaro dahil ayaw na niya sa team na yun, lalamya lamya na ang laro niya kung ganun, kaya kung ako sa management ng RoS, ite-trade ko na siya, napakalaking pangalan ni Paul Lee. For sure kapag tinrade nila si Paul, hindi sila matatalo, pwede na ang first round pick at isang sikat na player and bench player. Malamang din SMC teams ang gustong puntahan ni Paul Lee, kasi hindi lang naman sila Maximum e' extra maximum pa kamo, parang kay James Yap lang.

Basta, kahit anong mangyari, loyal Alaska Fan, hahaha, ganun din kasi ang nangyari kay Tenorio nun, kaya after nung statement ni Tenorio na gusto niya ring ma-trade, agad-agad, tinerade na siya ng Alaska at nakuha namin si Jvee Casio, o diba, kaya sure ako may maganda at mas magaling na kapalit si Paul Lee.
