Tim Cone seeks bounce-back win for San Mig Coffee versus Alaska
AKTV/Paolo Papa
San Mig Coffee coach Tim Cone said the best way to get back in the thick of things is to beat the league leader.
The Mixers try to get an even slate against the No. 1 Alaska team as they clash in the main game of the 2013 PBA Commissioner’s Cup on Saturday at the SMART-Araneta Coliseum.
They square off at 8 p.m. right after the opening game meet up of Air 21 and GlobalPort at 4:45 p.m.
“We’re going through a bit of a struggle at this point and not playing the basketball we expect from ourselves,” said Cone, as his team is just at the middle of the team standings with 4-5 win-loss mark.
“But we also expect push through and get ourselves going. We’ve got the first place team right ahead of us, so we’ve got our work cut out of us if we want to get back on track.”
The defending champions are coming off a tough 87-82 loss to the Express last Wednesday.
Alaska, on the other hand, has gotten back to its feet after a loss with a 93-85 victory over the hapless Batang Pier last Sunday.
Despite the win, Aces coach Luigi Trillo was not satisfied with their performance against GlobalPort.
“We need to keep our focus for a full 48 minutes. Last game we won the first and fourth quarters. We lost the second and third quarters,” said Trillo, whose team is holding a league-leading 7-2 win-loss mark.
“50-50 chance for both teams to win this upcoming game.”
For the record, Alaska has yet to beat its former head coach in six games since Cone left the Uytengsu franchise before last season.

'Professional' Yap assures spat with ex-wife won't get in the way of his game By Snow Badua
EMBROILED in another public dispute with ex-wife Kris Aquino, San Mig Coffee superstar James Yap on Thursday assured his team and its fans that personal problems will never affect his performance on the court.
A day after crying in front of television cameras trying to defend himself from fresh allegations made by his estranged wife, the two-time PBA MVP insisted he won't let the issue get in the way of his game.
“Huwag silang mag-aalala sa akin. Kaya nga PBA player ako, professional akong player,” Yap, sounding more upbeat when he granted Spin.ph an interview on Thursday.
On the day reports of the court case first came out, Yap struggled with 17 points on 6-of-19 shooting in San Mig's 82-87 loss to Air21, raising fears from fans that he was distracted by events in his personal life.
Yap, though, was quick to ease those fears.
“Basta’t may problema ako, iniiwan ko lang yun sa bahay. Hinding hindi ko iyon dinadala sa laro, practice man o actual game,” said Yap a few minutes after San Mig's practice at the Ronac gym in Greenhills.
The soft-spoken Escalante, Negros Occidental native said he is used to dealing with such problems, pointing out that he even won a league MVP award at the height of his marital problems with Aquino.
“Sanay na ako sa ganito. Talagang tinatatagan ko na lang ang loob ko,” the 6-3 guard said.
“Saka tinitignan ko na lang na sa tuwing may problema, mas lumalakas ako. Yung last time nga nag second MVP pa ako, di ba?” he added.
The San Mig star also said he is grateful for the support he is getting from fans on social media sites. A hashtag #StayStrongJamesYap has already accumulated countless numbers of tweets and retweets from fans and fellow players.
“Kahit mabigat ang loob ko sa mga nangyayari everytime may pagsubok sa buhay ko, talagang sinisikap ko na magpakatatag," he said. "Wala naman akong ibang pwedeng gawin, kaya natutuwa ako sa mga message ng fans."

San Mig Coffee Mixers promise to step up, help troubled James Yap on the court
AKTV file/Pranz Kaeno Billones
The two-time Most Valuable Player is once again embroiled in an issue involving ex-wife Kris Aquino. She filed for a temporary protection order against Yap this week, forcing him to break down as he responded to allegations last Wednesday.
Despite his off-court issues, Yap still scored 17 points in the Mixers’ loss to the Air 21 Express that evening.
Still, San Mig Coffee officials know that Yap has been affected by his off-court troubles.
“Although he had a good game last night, makikita mo rin na naapektuhan rin yung laro niya dahil tao lang yan eh,” said San Mig Coffee team executive Rene Pardo, who added that he had been assured by Yap that he will remain focused on the team’s Commissioner’s Cup campaign.
“Wala naman kaming maibibigay sa kanya kung hindi moral support kasi nasa korte na yung kaso.”
San Mig Coffee coach Tim Cone said the rest of the squad is willing to carry the load for their troubled teammate on the court.
“We’re just going to help James through this the best way we can,” wrote Cone in a text message to InterAKTV.

PBA chief Salud praises 'unshakable' SMC reputation but silent on pullout fears By Richard Dy
"Petron/SMC franchise's reputation is solid and unshakable. I respectfully disagree with anyone who will say otherwise, much more on the basis of an import's individual and singular act," says Commissioner Chito Salud.Jerome Ascano
PBA commissioner Chito Salud insisted an import's wrongdoing won't be enough to ruin San Miguel Corp.'s "solid and unshakable" reputation but remained mum on the company's move to "re-evaluate" its participation in the pro league in the wake of the Renaldo Balkman controversy.
Just hours after Salud handed a life ban on Balkman for his attack on game officials and teammates, San Miguel released a statement saying it is re-evaluating its participation in the league due to "the possible long-term effect of the (Balkman) incident to the San Miguel organization's image."
Salud, however, said in a separate statement he doesn't believe the "individual and singular act" of an import can dent the SMC organization's "solid and unshakable" reputation.
"Petron/SMC franchise's reputation is solid and unshakable. I respectfully disagree with anyone who will say otherwise, much more on the basis of an import's individual and singular act," said Salud. "It just isn't the case."
The PBA chief, however, declined to comment on fears the "re-evaluation" was a threat to pull out the three teams under the SMC umbrella - San Mig, Barangay Ginebra, and Petron - from Asia's pioneering pro league.
He instead paid tribute to the SMC group and the people running it, most of whom were close to his late father - former PBA commissioner Rudy Salud.
"The SMC group is a great franchise run by great leaders. I know many of them personally and I only have great respect for them. Mr. (Danding) Cojuangco and Mr. (Ramon) Ang are pillars of Philippine society who I have followed and admired ever since," he said.
"The PBA and (SMC's) franchise have been together for a long, long time and that's valuable in every respect."

SMC to 're-evaluate' teams' participation in PBA in wake of Balkman drama By Gerry Ramos
San Miguel Corp., under Ramon S. Ang, owns three teams in the PBA namely San Mig Coffee, Barangay Ginebra and Petron which got embroiled in controversy after Renaldo Balkman's meltdown on Friday. Jerome Ascano
ITS corporate image obviously affected by the series of incidents that led to the lifetime ban on Petron import Renaldo Balkman from the PBA, San Miguel Corp. stated on Monday it will "re-evaluate" its position as the only remaining original member of Asia’s pioneering pro league.
In a statement, the organization said it accepted the decision imposed by the league on the 6-foot-6 Balkman for the unsportsmanlike conduct he showed in Petron’s Commissioner’s Cup game against Alaska last week.
But while the company doesn’t condone the action of the eccentric import, the organization admitted the "incident has been blown out of proportion, and has damaged our good name."
“As such given the possible long-term effect of this incident to the San Miguel organization’s image, and in consideration of our need to preserve our good reputation, management has decided to re-evaluate the company's participation in the PBA,” part of the statement read.
The position of the corporation on the controversy came out following an emergency meeting involving SMC top management officials.
Asked if the statement meant the conglomerate is considering a pullout from the PBA of SMC teams San Mig Coffee, Barangay Ginebra, and Petron, a top Petron team official told Spin.ph, "just read between the lines."
SMC insisted the unfortunate incident has harmed the good name and reputation the company has nurtured through its long years of involvement not only in the league, but in Philippine sports in general.
“Our reputation is of utmost importance to us because we have worked hard to cultivate this good name through the decades. But it takes only one unfortunate incident like this to undo all our efforts,” the statement read.
The corporation, though, apologized to basketball fans and the PBA for the confusion caused by the unsportsmanlike conduct of the 28-year-old Balkman.
“We do not condone his actions,” it said of the former member of the Puerto Rican national team. “The mandate of our basketball operations has always been to entertain basketball fans and foster camaraderie and a spirit of healthy competition. We pride ourselves in having great teams which serve as good role models to the youth and community.”
In parting, SMC said, “Moving forward, we believe sports is a pillar of Philippine society and we will continue to support it and Filipino athletes in general in meaningful ways in and out of the PBA.”
