                    [Summary] => After Shell eked out a 91-89 decision over Talk N’ Text in a Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Fiesta Conference game at the Big Dome the other night, an exasperated Phone Pals fan texted this message to me:


"How on God’s good earth could this guy Watkins be 6-8 only?"

I texted back, saying Shell’s new import Jameel Watkins was measured at 6-7 7/8 by PBA officials with TNT assistant coach Aric del Rosario witnessing and certifying the proceedings.

He sent another message.

And Rich Alvarez will play a huge role if there indeed is truth that there will be no way for the Turbochargers to go but up.

The former Ateneo ace, drafted first overall this year, comes to a Shell side reeling from setbacks dating back to what seems like an eternity, and Alvarez is actually the last piece of a massive overhaul that started from the very top of the team.

After Shell twice dodged a potential killer blow from Ginebra, the two teams’ duel boils down to a knockout game with the loser eventually falling by the wayside and the winner advancing into the PBA All-Filipino Cup Finals versus San Miguel Beer.
