This is it! 16 wins for the Larry O'Brien Trophy. Can LeBron tie Kobe for 5 titles, or will someone else win? Does the NBA want the Knicks to do well? Is "Washington Wizards" the worst name in sports since the "Washington Redskins"?

2021 NBA Play-in Tournament TV schedule

First, the blog is back! The last post was when the president was an Aquino. So I've been wondering what to do with this blog. For the meantime, let's have all of your sports TV listings for Filipino sports fans. If you want to know where and when can you catch your favorite team, this is the blog for you.

Second, it's the Play-in Tournament! 101: #7 vs. #8, with the winner getting the #7 seed. The loser will play the winner of the #9 and #10 game, to be the #8 team. Sounds complicated? Just think of it this way: The #7 and #8 teams can lose once and still make it to the playoffs proper. The #9 and #10 teams have to win twice, with the second game on the road.

Basketball's Road to Rio 2016

Almost all national basketball leagues are over, or are wrapping up. You know what that means? If you're following non-NBA basketball, that means it's time for the summer of international hoops: or more importantly, the last summer of international hoops as we know it. If you're following the NBA, well more, crazy free agency news, but that's why you came here for.

As every follower of international basketball should know by now, this is the last summer where the qualification to the Olympics will be done this way. In Tokyo 2020, the qualification system would be a lot different, which we would get to later. Beginning with the FIBA Oceania Championship in August 20 (or less than a month from now) until the final of the FIBA Asia Championship in October 3, there'd only be three days where there aren't any qualification games being played.

It's time for the 2015 NBA Playoffs! Bored out of your wits with that oversaturated coverage of the awesome Lakers and Heat seasons? Do you want to see high quality basketball involving teams no one even realized that existed a couple of years ago? Don't fret, it's playoffs time!

Hopefully, more live games on free TV! The channel that airs delayed games has to die a quick death. Yes, I'm talking to you, @ABSCBNSports that blocked me for calling out such shitty service. Now that Sir Chip and Maya are happily screwing each other like rabbits ever after, we basketball fans deserve a break.

You guys know the drill. If you don't, check out what magic numbers are, see this.TL;DR: The magic number is the number of wins a team has to earn for them to qualify; the "tragic" number is the number of losses the team has to get before it is eliminated.
