[Title] => Realtors not up to form vs Tigers?
[Summary] => Sta. Lucia’s throngs came to watch the game Friday night wearing t-shirts with printed words saying: "Proud To Be Pure Homegrown." Whether they came home proud with what the Realtors showed on the playing court is the big question, though.

[Title] => War On All Fronts
[Summary] => The Samsung PBA All-Filipino Cup Final Four finally begins today and all indications point to a fierce showdown on both sides of the best-of-five playoffs.
Raw nerves have been touched in the run-up to the semis and it could stir up emotions in the openers today at the Philsports Arena.
Alaska and Talk N Text take the floor at 5 p.m. then Sta. Lucia Realty and Coca-Cola at 7:30 p.m. Each team has declared total war in both duels.

[Title] => Realtors, Aces catch trip to semis
[Summary] => It became a down-to-the-wire game not reflected in the score. And curiously in the end, the loser had much more to celebrate than the winner.

[Title] => SLR out to beat Alaska by 18 pts
[Summary] => It was not clear if it was a joke or not, but Sta. Lucia coach Alfrancis Chua promised they would beat Alaska Milk by 18 points tonight.
The league statisticians said the losing margin is just what the Realtors need to avoid to formalize their entry into the Samsung PBA All-Filipino Cup Final Four.
"Ah ganoon ba, sige tatalunin na lang namin sila by 18 points para walang problema," said Chua, moments after they squeaked past San Miguel Beermen and into threshold of the semifinals.

[Title] => Asi lords it over Kings; Pals in semis
[Summary] => ANTIPOLO – Talk N Text bucked manpower shortage to reach the Samsung PBA All-Filipino Cup Final Four with an emphatic 99-86 victory over Barangay Ginebra at the Ynares Sports Center here last night.
Asi Taulava dominated the paint for a 17th double-double showing in the season and his teammates also put in significant numbers as the Phone Pals nailed the crucial Friday the 13th win that paved the way for their entry into the next round.

[Title] => Duremdes injured, out for 2 weeks
[Summary] => Sta. Lucia Realty has practically clinched a slot in the Samsung PBA All-Filipino Cup Final Four but the team has one big reason to be wary with Kenneth Duremdes declared out for at least two weeks with a strained calf muscle.
The Realtors were in the process of putting the final touches to their crucial win over the San Miguel Beermen last Wednesday when Duremdes suffered the injury, putting the team’s bid for a first-ever appearance in the All-Filipino Finals in peril.

[Summary] => The Philippine Basketball Association, the country’s No. 1 sports entertainment, will hopefully evolve into an entirely new league with an expanded one-tournament season and open to foreign players, specifically Asians, in the near future.

[Title] => Red Bull-SMB rivalry looms large
[Summary] => Another chapter in the smouldering rivalry between San Miguel Beer and Red Bull may well unfold in the next few days, unless Coca-Cola and Alaska Milk sustain the momentum of their runs and gatecrash the party. That’s the prognosis in the Selecta PBA All-Filipino Cup Final Four, a pair of best-of-three semifinal playoffs, which unwraps today at the Philsports Arena.

[Title] => Alaska, Coke join Red Bull, SMB in semis
[Summary] => Alaska Milk, a team with a tradition to keep, and Coca-Cola, a team out to make its own niche, joined Red Bull and San Miguel Beer in the Selecta PBA All-Filipino Cup Final Four at the Araneta Coliseum last night.
The Aces came out smoking and eased out the Talk N Text Phone Pals, 82-63, while the Tigers defied the odds anew and booted out the Sta. Lucia Realtors, 64-61, in their quarterfinal knockout duels.

[Title] => Panthers claim third semis slot
[Summary] => Pop Cola just couldn’t deny it owed Alaska Milk so much as it finally gained its first PBA semifinals stint in a long, long while last night.
The Panthers made it to the PBA All-Filipino Cup Final Four at the expense of the Aces — thanks largely to the exploits of no less than four players who used to be part of the Aces.
Johnny Abarrientos called it payback time as he won his "personal war" with Alaska coach Tim Cone when Pop Cola beat his former team, 74-65, in their sudden-death duel watched by a mammoth Sunday crowd at the Araneta Coliseum.
