Updates Along The Sidewalk: May 11, 2013

Alright guys, it's been 6 days ever since I've posted so here we go, some updates to why it's been 6 days ever since I have posted and other activity around the website.

First of all...

The lack of posts
Now, you guys must be wondering, where are the posts? Why the sudden lack of posts? Have I lost my passion for writing?

Not really. Well, first, I kind of had a personal problem this past week that's why I wasn't in the mood to write too much about basketball. I was about to start an article about Derrick Rose but I guess that won't push through.

Second, I got the flu because of various stress. I had a hard time moving, so obviously it would be even more difficult for me to create a blog post. Sorry guys!

PBA and NBA Player Of The Week
I told you guys I'd be making a post explaining the criteria of the PBA and NBA POW's. Well, the reason why I wasn't able was because of my reasons above. I probably won't push through writing the criteria, but I will still push through with my POW's. :)

New update around the site
Well, only one update, and that's the Twitter feed at the right. You can follow me as well on Twitter, @MathManMaster!

Troy Mallillin is a Blue Eagle. Now what?

(Photo Credit: Janine Torre, The GUIDON) Against the JRU Heavy Bombers, Troy Mallillin finally made his much awaited debut as a Blue Eagle. Just seeing him in uniform was already enough for fans of the Blue Eagles to go wild. Seeing a NCAA Juniors MVP wear an Ateneo jersey feels weird, for any fan. Seeing a former La Salle Greenhills player wear the blue and white? It's like an Ateneo High School boy wearing a La Salle jersey. Oh.. wait... Obviously, any Atenean is brimming with excitement right now after managing to secure (or is it really secure?) the services of the former NCAA Juniors MVP. But what else are the other implications of Troy Mallillin taking his talents to Katipunan? Let's break it down: In the short term Right now, don't expect Troy to get a lot of minutes. As mentioned before , Ateneo is filled with a number of forwards in Mike Nieto, Vince Tolentino and Raffy Verano. Shaun Ildefonso is no longer in that fray of forwards after taking his talen...

Scouting the Opposition: Is Jonas Tibayan ready for the college game?

(Photo Credit: FIBA) Basic Information Name: Jonas Tibayan Age: 18 School/Team: CKSC Blue Dragons Years of eligibility left: 0 (Graduating) Committed to: NU Bulldogs Height: 6'3" Position: Power Forward Projected Position: Combo Forward Quick Hits Strengths: - Strong body - High Basketball IQ - Very coachable - Is a great team player Weaknesses: - Limited upside - Still relatively raw - No clear position yet in collegiate basketball Only a select few people are given the opportunity to play for the National Youth Team. It's a honor anyone would grab in an instant. To be named a Batang Gilas standout is something special. But to be named a Gilas Cadet member at the tender age of 17? It's something else. At first glance, it means that you're a player who's more than ready to make it to the big leagues. You're not just expected to do well in the collegiate level. Some expect you to go ahead and dominate in an instant. Jonas Tibayan...

After all, they didn't have any notable blue-chip names in the level of SJ Belangel and Juan GDL...
