                    [Summary] => Chris Clay has always been a revelation. First suiting up for the Laguna Lakers, Clay emerged as an explosive scorer and defensive leader. He led the MBA statistically, and finished the last season with an astonishing average of 29 points and 12 rebounds per game.


When Laguna’s backer, FedEx, moved on to the PBA, Clay was unable to secure the necessary papers to enter the PBA draft. However, he did sign a contract to play with the Pangasinan Waves, where he would be teamed up with the league’s franchise center, Romel Adducul.

                    [Summary] => The LBC Batangas Blades and the Negros Slashers begin their MBA national finals at 5 p.m. today at the St. La Salle Lipa Sentrum in Lipa City.


The Blades topped the Northern Conference while the Slashers ruled the Southern Conference to forge the best-of-five showdown.


Because they emerged as the elimination round topnotchers, the Blades will enjoy the homecourt edge under the 2-2-1 format.

                    [Summary] => LBC Batangas tries to keep its hold of the lead as well as seek revenge against Andok’s San Juan as they clash today in the MBA Second Phase in Lipa.


Humbled by the Knights in their first meeting, 86-82, the Blades hope to get back at their lone tormentor in their 5:30 p.m. encounter at the La Salle Lipa Sentrum, looking for win No. 9.


Coach Nash Racela is again expected to call on Romel Adducul, Alex Compton and Eddie Laure in the Blades’ bid to beat the Knights and firm up their hold of the Northern Conference lead.

The Slashers, last year’s Southern Conference champions and runners-up in the controversy-marred National Finals, jumped the gun on the Blades early, hung tough in the next two quarters before unleashing a strong finishing kick to frustrate their rivals, composed of the standouts of the Manila Metrostars and the Batangas Blades.
