Palmera Rams Update
Yessir here's another basketball (and therefore OT post) - a sure enough sign I'll never be a problogger if I ever saw one. But then again, who cares really?
Ok so our record now is 1-1, I just came back from the gym an hour ago after our victory.
So our games have been pretty close. Yesterday we lost by five and today we won by four (I think). Funny how I almost never remember the margin whenever my teams win but when we lose, I have nightmares about the number of points we lost by, almost like it's chasing me around with a knife in my dreams (I'm serious).

On Coaching Little League
Am taking a break from tech posts to talk about what's been keeping me really busy lately - which is coaching the Palmera Green Rams, one of four teams here in Palmera Heights composed of 14-18 year old boys (I've taken to referring to them as 'my boys' to my gf's consternation). Continue reading

Basketball Blog Invite
April 22 is a-comin'. That means the end of the NBA regular season, and the start of what gets every red blooded baller's heart a-pounding - THE NBA PLAYOFFS.
Once again I'm in a position to do something I've always dreamed, but for some continue to procrastinate, or just plain screw up.
And that is, start a Basketball Blog.
So consider this post an invitation, to anyone out there who a. Is opinionated about the NBA, PBA, UAAP, NCAA etc. and basketball in general, and b. Is willing to write about it.
If you check on both, merely leave a comment, or email me at ghmercado at gmail dot com. After some discussion as to how to go about it (I'd like to committee this one), let's go write ourselves up a storm.
Be hearing from ya. Continue reading
(warning: basketball post) No Game Today
Last Sunday was a strange day. Sure the sun came up as usual and all that, but the strange part of it was that I went down to the village basketball court and no one was playing.
Oh sure about fifty little kids and about as many balls were there running and screaming and doing what little kids do in a wide open space, but the ballers - the village ballers - those guys constant in every Village in the Philippines, who play ball day and night and spend what little money they make on overpriced shoes - were nowhere to be found.

Isiah doesn’t want me to come to new york
I have a theory about Isiah Thomas. He is, I think, possibly the most intensely competitive athlete ever in professional sports. So intense in fact, that way beyond his salad days with the Detroit Pistons, he's still determined to see his chief rivals lose in the NBA. I mean, how else do you explain what he's doing to my beloved New York Knicks?

Peja traded for CJ Johnson
The shooter position in the Indiana Pacers team is an esteemed place in the basketball world.
Mainly because you're gonna get comparisons to Reggie Miller, a tall order if there ever was one.

Kobe ain’t got nuthin. Against Kobe. Virtually.
I got the idea from Jeremy Clarkson's Top Gear episode wherein he tried to beat his time of 1 minute 41 seconds in Gran Turismo on the same track on the same car except in real life. Continue reading
I wanna see DLSU play
I'll tell you what. Inasmuch as I completely despise the (alleged) cheating situation at DLSU, and the ensuing investigation that left more questions than answers, I gotta say that La Salle's leave of absense from the UAAP is not the right step to alleviate the situation. Sure DLSU deserves to get punished. And I promise you, that says a lot coming from me, who has followed the UAAP and DLSU long enough for me to be embarrassed to admit it. (which is a big no-no since on my blog, I am forever young.) Continue reading
