      Cone says sorry for 'walkout' against Aces



      San Mig coach Tim Cone explains he was concerned with the health of his players, who he said are not yet in top shape, as he apologized to Alaska and coach Luigi Trillo for the stoppage. Jerome Ascano
      SAN Mig Coffee coach Tim Cone personally took the blame for the aborted preseason game between the Mixers and his former team Alaska Aces on Tuesday at the Reyes gym in Mandaluyong.
      Cone admitted on his Twitter account @Manilacone that more than anything else, he was concerned about the welfare of his players when he and the Mixers staff decided to call a halt to the match in the third period.
      The Aces were leading, 63-50, when the game was stopped after San Mig Coffee’s Jerwin Gaco was ejected from the match for an elbow on his defender.
      Cone vehemently questioned the ejection, stressing the Gaco elbow was not intentional. A few minutes later, the San Mig Coffee benched asked a stoppage and conceded the game to Alaska.
      “No big deal,” Cone tweeted. “We asked to halt the practice game. We weren’t ready to play. My fault in scheduling it. My apology to Alaska and coach Luigi.”
      Cone also dismissed claims that the call on Gaco triggered the 'walkout.'
      “It was more about the fear of injury to our key guys than the call,” he said. “We’re not in shape yet, and guys were cramping. Again, my fault.”
      Told by a follower that stopping in mid-game was being "unprofessional," Cone responded: "Point well taken, but these are "practice" games & when the practice is not beneficial, then you stop it. Not worth injury."
      Alaska has been unbeaten in the preseason so far, earlier beating San Mig Coffee sister-team Petron, 90-84.
      It was the first tune-up game for the Mixers, who played without Josh Urbiztondo, Raffy Reavies, Yancy de Ocampo, and injured players JC Intal and Joe Devance.
      Cone later praised the Aces, tweeting: "Alaska was sharp and formidable and that was without Abueva. JV, Dondon and Cyrus were killing it. Again, sorry that we couldn't finish."
      This marks the second straight preseason games that was called off following the exhibition match between Barangay Ginebra and the Qatar national team on Monday which was abandoned after Kerby Raymundo and Muhammad Yousef nearly came to blows.
      The visitors were slightly ahead, 55-52, when the game was stopped at the 4:47 mark of the third period.

      Barako Bull trades for big man Ballesteros



      Carlo Sharma, top, and Sunday Salvacion have been shipped to Meralco by Barako Bull in exchange for former Smart Gilas mainstay Jason Ballesteros. Jerome Ascano
      FORMER Smart Gilas-Pilipinas big man Jason Ballesteros has worn out his welcome at Meralco as he was traded on Tuesday to Barako Bull for the veteran pair of Carlo Sharma and Sunday Salvacion.
      Ballesteros, the bruising 6-foot-7 center out of San Sebastian selected No. 7 overall by the Bolts last year's draft, is expected to add heft and size to the Energy frontcourt that recently acquired Enrico Villanueva in another multi-player offseason trade.
      "You can't teach height but you can teach skills," Barako coach Junel Baculi told Spin.ph when asked about the trade, adding Ballesteros is certainly going to be a good big man project for the team.
      Villanueva and Ballesteros are expected to alternate playing in Barako's frontline along with the hard-working Doug Kramer and veteran Mick Pennisi.
      “You also have to understand that Mick and Enrico are not getting younger anymore. Hopefully, he’ll be able to adjust immediately to our system,” added the Barako Bull coach.
      The presence of the sophomore center will likewise make up for the loss of Don Allado in the coming Philippine Cup when the former La Salle power-forward serves out a conference-long suspension following his controversial rants on the microblogging site Twitter.
      Sharma and Salvacion, meanwhile, will add experience to a young, rebuilding team like the Bolts, who recently lost the services of 13-year center and former league MVP Asi Taulava.
      “We’re always trying to give this team a decent look,” said team manager Butch Antonio. “With Carlo, he’ll give us depth in the frontcourt and a good back up to Jay-R (Reyes), while Sunday will definitely help us spread out the opponents’ defense with his outside shooting.”
      The trade papers are now in the office of commissioner Chito Salud for final approval.

      Ginebra rookies feel the love



      Keith Jensen and Chris Ellis have both been overwhelmed by the love they get from Ginebra fans. Jerome Ascano
      Barangay Ginebra rookies Chris Ellis and Keith Jensen were the last players to leave the San Andres Gym in Manila after the Kings’ tune-up game against an Australian youth team on Tuesday afternoon - not because they wanted to but because they spent so much time signing autographs and posing for pictures with fans.
      After getting a first-hand experience on how it is to be part of the PBA’s most popular ballclub, the Filipino-American freshmen feel truly blessed.
      "It’s been a new experience,” the 24-year-old Jensen told Spin.ph after the Gin Kings' 83-42 rout of the Australian Under-19 squad. “The fans have been great. I’ve never experienced this amount of love from the fans. This is awesome and it’s very flattering.”
      Barely a month since he was taken sixth overall in this year’s draft, the 23-year-old Ellis is also feeling right at home with his teammates.
      “Everybody gets along and is down to earth. They all teach you what they know. It’s just a great situation all around,” said Ellis, whose mother is from Sampaloc, Manila.
      Asked what their personal goals will be entering their rookie years, both had their eyes set on repaying the adoration and faith of the fans with a championship.
      “I want to be the reason we win the championship, whether it be stopping the best player on the other team or doing what they need me to do. I just want to be there for my team,” said the 6-foot-5 Ellis, who became known for his high-flying act in the PBA D-league.
      Jensen, whose family traces its roots to Pampanga, said his objective is “to help this team win a championship, that’s it. All of the personal accolades like Rookie of the Year, being in the starting five, it will all work itself out. I’m not worried about that.
      "Winning is my goal.”
      “I just want to fit in where I can help the most,” added the 6-foot-4 Jensen. "So if that’s defensive rebounding, that’s what I’m going to do. If that’s spot-up shooting, slashing, that’s what I’m going to do. I feel confident that I’m versatile as a player so whatever they need me to do I’m going to do it.”

      Gilas hoping to pick up from where it left off despite ragged buildup



      Smart Gilas 2.0 coach Chot Reyes says the team has not had much progress the past week. Jerome Ascano
      WITH players’ focus divided between club and country, Smart Gilas 2.0 has had a ragged buildup for the Fiba Asia Cup but remains hopeful of picking up from where it left off in the Jones Cup.
      Coach Chot Reyes said Gilas had better preparation for the Jones Cup last month compared to their buildup for the Tokyo tournament, with most of its players on loan to the national squad but still required to train with their mother clubs every day.
      Before winning the country's first Jones Cup title in 14 years with a 7-1 win-loss run in Taipei, practice had not yet started among PBA ballclubs and Gilas had all the time to work on their plays and chemistry.
      “We haven’t had some progress the past week because of the two-a-day practice the players have with their (PBA) mother teams and then with Gilas. So we’re just going to hope for the best in the Asia Cup,” Reyes told Spin.ph ahead of the team's departure for the September 14-22 tournament.
      The team took Tuesday off before departing on Wednesday for the Tokyo tournament, where it will be bracketed with powerhouse squads China and Lebanon in the eliminations.
      Ranged against taller, heftier opponents, Reyes said Gilas needs to have its shooting spot-on but most of all must use its speed to its advantage just like it did in a 78-71 win over Qatar's national team in a practice game on Saturday at the Ynares Center in Pasig City.
      “Yes, we have shooters, but our opponents there also have shooters. So the only thing we can bank on is our speed,” Reyes said.
      Jones Cup MVP LA Tenorio again leads the team that features Gabe Norwood, Larry Fonacier, Ranidel de Ocampo, Jeff Chan, Jay-R Reyes, Enrico Villanueva, Gary David, naturalized player Marcus Douthit, Matt Rosser and Sonny Thoss.
      Talk ’N Text forward Jared Dillinger takes the spot of Meralco Bolts Fil-American guard Sol Mercado, who is not eligible to play for the Philippines under Fiba’s strict rules even if he had suited up for the original Gilas team under Rajko Toroman in the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou.
      Alaska’s Mac Baracael and amateur Garvo Lanete, members of the 14-man Jones Cup team, also did not make the roster although Lanete will still join the trip as a reserve.
      The top three teams in the Fiba Asia Cup get automatic slots in the Fiba Asia men’s championships, which the Philippines is bidding to host next year.

      San Mig Coffee walks out of tuneup match against Alaska

      It turns out that coffee and milk doesn’t always make for a perfect combination.
      San Mig Coffee walked out of its tuneup match against Alaska on Tuesday at the Reyes Gym after Mixers coach Tim Cone disagreed with a call by the referees.
      The Aces were leading 63-50 in the third quarter when San Mig Coffee forward Jerwin Gaco was thrown out of the game for warding off with his elbow against Alaska’s Eddie Laure. Cone vehemently protested the call before leading his team out of the court.
      “Cone proceeds to Alaska bench, shakes hands of Aces coaching staff. Tapos ang laro,” wrote veteran journalist Dennis Principe on his Twitter account, where he provided updates on the game.
      Cone refused to take calls by InterAKTV on the matter.
      Alaska coach Luigi Trillo, meanwhile, said the call on Gaco was correct, saying that it really was flagrant.
      It marked the second straight day with a tuneup game involving a PBA team being halted. On Monday, a tuneup game between Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and the Qatar national team was stopped after an altercation between Kerby Raymundo and a Qatari center.
