Purefoods Giants: Champions no longer…

I felt really sad last Sunday as the series in the PBA All-Filipino Cup ended.  

I was hoping…and actually, expecting for the Purefoods Giants to win the championship series.  Ever since, I’ve always been a Purefoods’ fan.  Back in the 90’s when the team was still led by ‘The Captain’, Alvin Patrimonio and ‘The Defense Minister’, Jerry Codinera, I would often watch out for their games and cheer for them.  Even to a point of being so noisy at home, I had fun cheering for my favorite basketball team.

These days, I started becoming curious again when I learned that James Yap was leading the team.  Towards the end of the All-Filipino season, I started watching their games and cheering for the team again.  And so came the championship game between Purefoods and Sta. Lucia.  I made it a point to watch the 7th game as it was a very thrilling series.  The championship series was tied to 3 wins for both teams, so the 7th game will determine who will take home the trophy.  

I religiously watched the whole game, but all my hopes and cheers crumble when Purefoods started to miss their shots and James Yap could no longer score, which everntually brought the whole team to a big loss against Sta. Lucia.  I felt bad, though there’s still more to come for the Purefoods team!  I’d definitely watch out for the coming games next season.  Keep going guys!!!!
