Welcome to the first post of Patay ang Butiki, the blog for and by a Pinoy basketball fan. By no means is this an expert’s blog, just a place to post discussions, observations and other interesting basketball-related fun. The NBA just completed its draft, the PBA is in full swing as it approaches the playoff rounds, the PBL is on hiatus but the NCAA (RP) has just begun and the UAAP is fast approaching. It’s a good time to be a basketball fan right now.
Here’s a little something about me, so you know what to expect from the blog. My favorite teams are the Chicago Bulls (since the Jordan era), the Boston Celtics (since they acquired KG from ‘Sota) and the Minnesota Timberwolves (since they drafted Ticket in ‘95) in the NBA. In the local leagues, I grew up a San Miguel Beermen fan – idolizing guys like Samboy and Agustin and Calma to the likes of Caidic, Asaytono and Bong Alvarez and eventually Seigle, Ildefonso and Racela. I also support the Ateneo Blue Eagles in the UAAP, being a supporter since the 2001 season where they lost to the Ritualo-led Archers in the finals. I enrolled in the school a year later – the season they took revenge on La Salle and took the championship for their own.
That’s pretty much it for the very first post.
This isn’t the end though, it’s just the opening tip…
