random round-up: 10.13.09

So, it finally took Manny Pangilinan's "divine intervention" to sort out this Japeth Aguilar mess. How messy was it? Well let's just say that practically, Aguilar's rights went from BK to Smart Gilas to BK to Red Bull to Talk N Text then back to Smart Gilas--all in about a month's time.

Speaking of Japeth, he and Rico Maierhoffer should consider enlisting in the rescue teams for flood victims. They probably won't need rubber boats to reach out to the victims.

The NBA off-season has been pretty quiet recently, with the only significant news this past week being that of Andre Miller lashing out on his "reserve role." I wouldn't be too happy if I'm Steve Blake.

* * * * *

Quiet or not though, it's about time we all get ready for the brand new fantasy hoops season that beckons. I'm betting a lot of people are more excited with that than with the actual games themselves.

Me? I'm also excited with this.

Apparently, a pro team in Indonesia is parading an import who goes by the name Rensy Bajar. In the inaugural game of the Asean Basketball League, the Indonesians faced the Philippine Patriots. Does that make Bajar the "Un-patriot?"

Is it just me or does it feel like the current NCAA season has been extended to 82 games? And apparently, they're still not done with the qualification round.

Over at the other side of the college fence, is this Ateneo team really that strong or are the other teams just a tad weaker? How do you think would they have fared against the champion teams of Cortez-Cardona-Ritualo, Santos-Miranda-Isip, or maybe even against Ateneo's own 2002 squad of Villanueva-Fonacier-Alvarez? Frankly, I think they could beat those, but they probably would not be able to in a best-of-three affair.
