It started with 12 teams, divided into 2 divisions. After five grueling divisional games, only 4 teams remain to contest this year's coveted championship.
One thing is sure, a new champion team will emerge this year after WSA boots out defending champions, Red Bulls, in the play-offs circle with a higher Q points in Division B.
GK Warriors, this year's hands-down cinderella team, makes its first appearance in the playoffs after 3 years in the league hugging the cellar.
TFC Mainline, a newbie in Palaro, is expected to give everyone a good fight to the championships. Fresh from their perfect slate at Philly's FACAA league, the Jersey boys are hungry for another title this time here in Delaware. Will the TFC snatch another inter-state crown from the locals?
Delaware Titans, a veteran team of PAAD Palaro league, emerges from last year's hapless campaign to become this year's never-say-die team as they wrestle GK's cinderalla entry at the playoffs. Clearly, the TATANGS, as everyone fondly call them, have captured the hearts of the PALARO fans. Both an off-court and on-court, as well as a blog-favorite, the Titans claw their way up in their bid to frustrate GK's 5-0 slate and squeek into the finals.
Wala Sa Ayos, on the other hand, will try to make it a two-peat to the finals roster by facing the mighty TFC in their playoff tussle. In their failed game against GK Warriors, everybody has doubrs on whether they can break TFC's frontlines. Will WSA end their losing slump and emerge in the finals by beating TFC?
Let's see what the fans say... we're now open for your comments!

titans is baaack!!! 2 d most papa-licious team, gudlak on d next game!!
mr scribbs champion ka talaga!
The WSA vs TFC game is actually a rematch of last years Finals. We expect WSA to have learned from their mental mistakes in last year's championship game. This is not an easy game for TFC.
Both playoff games will be exciting. I just wished the schedules didn't have the playoff games played at the same time so that everybody will have the chance to watch them both.
#01 is soo cute! ;) <3
para sa never-say-die naming team, para sa aming mga tatangs, dito lang kaming supporters nyo!! mag-iingay... sisigaw.. mananapak kung kinakailangan heheheh joke lang po... basta we'll do everything in our powers to rattle the GK team. ibuhos nyo ang galing nyo tatangs!!! kayang-kaya nyong tapatan ang GK!! go titans!!!
The DE Titans is one solid team, and I don't only mean Basketball wise, but camaraderie wise. The original players of this team has been there since PAAD started having this league (hence they are called Tatangs!)
Through the years they have added players, without altering the main cast. And these players that we fondly call tatangs still plays the game at a high level. I've participated in some of their regular scrimmages (which is all-year-round) and they'll treat you as if you've been a part of their team for a long time. You'll know they are really having fun.
Someday the main cast of the Titans will (slowly) pass the torch to the next generation of Titans to continue the tradition of the "Never-Say-Die-Walang-Sisihan" Titans!
GO TITANS! Win or Lose, we're proud of you guys on how you play the game!
I think i kno how to frustrate the GK Warriors. My plan is to boo the players when the GK players have the ball... Maybe that will get in their heads and get them out of their game.
Who's with me?
To GK Hater,
What a plan. I think you will just make the GKW's play more intensive if you will do that. I think to be honest with you.... you have not seen them played thier 100 % yet.
"ALL THE WAY" GO GK!!!
GK Warriors will lose to tatangs this saturday because they are not that good! From what Ive seen they have only 2 scores and one shooter whos is inconsitnt. titans have all around game and more deep bench. We will get Leo Bullony and Clemente in foul trouble jus from charges. I have not seen anyone else in starting team do anything so I cant wait for saturday. Go Titans!!
The defending champions are still in the running this year. TFC-Mainline players were the core players of the Redbull championship team last year.
GKW is the new team within a team this year. I hope we'll see some of the 'real' GKW players get some minutes this Saturday. Some of them can play and are good shooters (JV, magaling din...... sa asaran :P) I won't be surprised to see the core players of GKW form their own team next Palaro like TFC-Mainline. This would be good for the rest of the players though, they might not win as much, but i'm sure they'll enjoy the Palaro games more.
can't wait for the games this saturday. i wish i could see both games but sadly wala tayong split screen sa PAL ha ha! to the titans team, goodluck! play your best!
I will compare TITANS and GKW's to Ginebra and San Miguel beer basketball team in PBA.
Ginebra being there since the begining with capability of pulling the trigger and a tons of die hard fans while the San Mig with lots of new atlethic players hungry for championship. In the end, they are both owned by one company.
Lesson learned:
By the end of the playoff game between TITANS ans GKW's... win or lose they will be still brothers inside and out of the court.
GOOD LUCK TITANS!!! we will put you guys in our prayers!!! see you this Saturday.
The old (no pun intended) GK players are better as they play to have fun. Hate to see their original players riding the bench and not even had the chance to play. We even wonder how many players from this team have played the required number of games in the eliminations to be able to play in the playoffs.
Also, it's sad to see the new guys not listening to their coach! Instead they frown at him and give him instructions.
Nothing personal, just an observation!
GK WARRIORS WILL LOSE THIS SATURDAY. THEY ARE SO OVER RATED!!!! NOBODY WANTS THEM TO WIN!! CLEMENTE BROS ARE SO INCONSISTANT AND MR. FOOTBALL PLAYER AKA BULL WILL BE IN FOUL TROUBLE.
goodluck to the titans team!!
hey Gk hater, I don't think that plan would work, you know why?
1. I bet when your little "Gk hater army" tries to frustrate The players, they wont be able to hear....you know why? HAVE YOU HEARD THE GK FANS SCREAM THEIR HEADS OFF?! If you did,then ya might want to think twice about what your gonna do.....just some advice for ya :).
Kuya Art, nagtatanong lang po...pwede ba kayong gumawa ng paraan na maglaro ang GKW versus complete PHI team...bitin kasi eh...bibili ako ng ticket kahit bayaran ko para lang makita kung sino ang mas magaling na team...parang basketball game na ang kikitain ay para sa charity...nagtatanong lang po...bugoy
titans team, don't give up! never say die ang team natin!!! you can win this one!! believe it!! achieve it!! go go go titans!!!!
titans, never give up!! never say die ang team natin!! you can win this one!!! believe it! achieve it!!! go go go titans!!!
The GK Warriors are a very deep team. To anybody who says they consist of only 1 or 2 good players are wrong. All of them can score if they wanted to but winning means some people have to take sacrifices. And the GK players are willing to do this in order for them to win.
If you guys watch their playoff game, you might see a more motivated basketball TEAM.
GO WARRRRIORRRRSSS!!!!
yeah I agree bugoy.
Anyway we can have a friendship game with GK and PHI? I think that will be the best game of the season!!!! Cmon Mang Art, make it happen..
WHO WANTS TO SEE A GAME BETWEEN GK & PHI??? IF YOU DO SAY "ARAY" lol..

Lets go!!!! game na to what should have been the Championship game!!!
mr scribbs,
for the mvp voting, i know theres 2 brothers in tfc, but is paul the cute one with the #1 jersey or is that rudolf?? i dont know the team but #1 is goodlooking, and hot!!! hihi. im confuse who should i vote for?? none of them has the right jersey # in the online poll, i think the webmaster made a mistake and put #5 or #15 for my crush instead of #1? he is a really good player so i know hes nominated for mvp. #1 is not in the team picture too :-( between the siblings one is cute the other is not so what is #1s name, is it rudolf or paul? so is it a mistake?
can you please clear it up mr scribbs if which one is my crush hihi. i just want to make sure i vote for the right one. thank you and go #1 of tfc, youre soooo hot!!!! are you single!? hihi
bugoy,
im not sure what you said (cant do tagalog) but i think you just read my mind. PHI vs GK. I definitely want to see that game. What do you all say? Maybe we can do an online poll?
Do you want to see GK vs PHI in an exhibition game?
YES ___
NO ___
I notice that the only team that some team almost win against GKW's is the WSA. As everybody knows, no one from WSA trash talked GKW's in this blog. GKW's did'nt took that game so personal and WSA did a good job capitalizing on it. And every time some one trash talked GKW's, I noticed that GKW's worked hard from the start to end. So be careful on what you say to GKW's you might be one of the previuos people who found out how the MIGHTY WARRIORS answer on this blog.
It's nonsense to have a separate game between GKW vs PHI. Why would PHI deserve a chance to play in a separate game vs the top team? Natalo na at na-eliminate tapos gusto pang lumaban sa tope team?
They can wait for the next year's league. As far as 2008, you've lost, eliminated. So just sit down and watch those who are in the playoffs!!!
it was a suggestion from us the fans, not the team. man, you guys are so uptight, loosen up a bit "why".
I agree with what why said. This year's palaro elimination is over. All the teams got their chances to compete for the playoffs/championship. For those teams who didn't make it to the playoffs, goodluck for next year and play your best during the friendship games. Play your best for your team and for the people who support you. And to those who made it to the playoffs, what a great year for you! Goodluck and hope the best team wins!!
I think even we want PHI vs. GKW will play, We don't have time in our schedule for that. I think it's better to have the champion vs. all stars ( TITANS vs. ALL STARS )
That is 100% correct? Anong pinagka-iba ng PHI sa ibang teams na na-eliminate at kailangang pa na may mag-request (Fan, player, and whoever) ng laro between them and GKW? If you want to see if PHI can beat GKW, then I guess kailangan galingan nila sa susunod para umabot sila sa playoffs!
To crushing on MVP
#1 from TFC is Alex Santos. I don't think he is a runner up for MVP because he missed 2 games during the season. (Healing Water and Titans) But he does have a beautiful girlfriend. She is the 2nd girl on the left in the "Game na ba kayo?" picture
Ano ba PHI, sa division niyo nga di kayo maka-angat sa # 2 eh gusto niyo pang kalabanin ang #1 sa kabila? Mag-isip naman kayo!
ano ba phi:
ikaw mag isip kups.. wala kaming sinabi gusto namin makalaban GK.. ung mga fans lang ang nag suggest.. masyado kayong galit kala mo naman may ginawa kami sa inyong personal..
- PHI Player
what do you want to prove:
again we didnt want to prove anything, it was a bad season for us.. we didnt ask to play GK.. if some fans wants to voice their opinion of how they want to see this team vs that team then let them be.. before anyone else here wants to voice out any other comments about our team just relax fellas. were all done this season and we never voiced out to play against GK or anyone. Some people here are haters, if you really want to voice your opinion about PHI then use your real name.
- PHI
Waaahhhh . . . sa PHI Fan (Ayan FAN ang nilagay) . . . siguro kapag nanalo na ang PHI sa RedBull eh puwede na sa GKW!
Teka, tama ba yung nakita namin na nagsisigawan na naman ang PHI during the RB game?
Cool lang, and pikon ay talo. Oo nga pala, talo kayo kaya pala pikon ka.
hahaha...tama na kayo...nakakahiya kayo..nag aaway away pa kayo dyan....
tapos na ang PAAD...wala ng away away...
peace bros & sis
GK Warriors baby!!!! all you doubters have to wait till next year to hate on GK again
in regards to the earlier article that was written about TFC's great teamwork... ONE thing was proven this past weekend:
you can teach a flock of sheep to have the best teamwork in the world.. but in the end.. they will still get devoured by the WOLVES!
GKKKKKK!!!!!!
That's is not a nice thing to say.. you might have won the trophy but when it comes to good behavior, u guys lost.. you and your team are full of cockiness!This is just one of the trophies that could be earned... This is as far as you would go.. I feel bad for you, you won the trophy but that doesn't mean you gained respect. and with that comment you just posted, you'll never gain it..
and next time if you have the guts to write up something like this, make sure you have the guts to let people know who you are! see you next year...!
go tfc!!!! we raise our hats to you! You guys fought a nice clean game! im so proud of you guys! being number 2 only means that you have room to improve but doesn't mean anything else..
NUMBER 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on!!!
meron na naman pikon!!!!
what makes this blog interesting is how people voice out their opinion or tease each other.
Asaran lang to.
BLOG lang to!!!
ANG MAPIKON TALO!!!
PAG SERIOUS, ICU mo na lang.
Admit it, people want to watch the game even more. Like the guy from TFC, he said something that offended a lot of people but i don't think he needs to apologize at all.
This game is mostly mostly run by testosterone. So let them enjoy the moment.
So next year na lang, kung meron pa.
Scribbs/PSC, thanks for the good season.
AWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
to Janelle Halili
Are you basing cockiness from the comments in the blog?How can you be sure they were written by the players?And to top it all,as far as I remember...it was from your team who started the phrase my momma taught me to say what's on my mind...blah..blah..blah...and the worst part there was... it started at the first week of the game.Cockiness was already surfacing in you team even though there were still many many weeks for you guys to prove your game.But then again,you had the right to say what's on your mind.After all that's what the blog is here for.So if the fans feel like boasting about their team...let it be.GK did not comment anything about what their mommas told them during the first weeks and so,but now that they have proven their game against all the talented teams especially the unbeatable TFC,I guess they deserve some boasting.By the way Janelle,let him who is without sin cast the first stone.Peace kababayan!
basta ako GKW VS. PHI pa rin ang gusto ko makita...TFC chicken feed lang pala...aywan ko kung anong klaseng kalaban sila mayroon sa philadelphia na nag 11-0 sila roon...vote yes to a showdown between GKW VS. PHI(complete lineup)...i'll pay for this...
I'm sad to say that I think I've lost respect for some people/fans in this league. All this trash talking isn't fun anymore and it's not pleasant coming here.
There really isn't anything wrong with being opinionated and giving constructive criticism. But I think some comments in this blog have just taken it to the next level. It's just sad the people who are actually keeping quiet are the ones who are being targeted. I have some bad opinions on some teams but I'll just keep that to myself. That's out of respect for their charachter just because I'm sure I can be proven wrong outside of court.
I'm done reading the comments here.
the forum has gotten boring because all of the people that were trash-talking the GK warriors are now in hiding like a bunch of little girls.
i guess that's how it always is.
I agree with Mario. Where are those GK bashers now? After GK proved to be the deserving champs, they suddenly went quiet.
Try again next year!
To GK Warriors...:)))yoohoooo! Congratulations for winning the championship this year! Hope you come back next year to defend your title!
To PSC/Scribbs:)) Great work on this year's Palaro League!! Hope you guys continue this League, we will support your efforts all the way!
Go GKKKKK!!!!!!
Wow, so many people commented! Well to start…PIKON??? I commented back on what you first posted, like what all of you are doing right now—commenting back to what I posted…if me saying something back makes me pikon, then I guess your pikon too. One point proven ok!? Also, I think that people don’t watch the game just to see how we answer back to each other, let’s not bring down the reputation that this league built. People, including me, watch this game for the love it, for the support they have for their team.
Thank you for saying my name now, at least we know that this thing now is between the two of us and not between GK warriors and TFC. Let’s leave them alone. As for the comment that was made before that’s supposedly from TFC, I am only speaking for myself and not TFC ok, read back because that person who wrote that comment BEFORE already cleared things up. Get your facts straight before you declare anything.
Also, I’m basing the cockiness from the “team” because a team is not just its players, but also their fans. This thing between us now, started from you and not from way back when. Sure! You have the right to boast and no one can stop you from doing it right? But does boasting mean that you can say poor things about TFC.
Do you know how much criticisms we got from that first comment, with how TFC said this about one team, and said that about the other??? TFC did not even say anything back to whoever did that, and good for the person, he apologized. My point is you can go ahead, boast all you want! Celebrate, scream that you guys won, just do it right, do it clean, don’t include the name TFC or any other team in your boastful comments. This is supposed to be about good sportsmanship and TFC accepted their faith in this league, but don’t dare question any of our achievements, as we have not done anything like that to you
Whoa Janelle!!
That's the spirit! I'm not the biggest TFC fan around, but hey, go ahead and kick some blogger butts.
Go get them. You're feistiness is sooo attractive!
h3y Jan3ll3, sistah
I don't know what you're upset about. Whatever it is..chillax lang!
But yeah. leave GK, TFC and the league out of it. Duke it out among yourselves. Show some woman power. Go Gurlll!!!
TO PHI Kon:
napaka hater mo pare ko, tindi ka brad. I was watching laro ng RB at PHI, kahit tanungin mo pa kay Jesse Fabian namin, there were no fights or anything sa game with PHI? They were actually having fun in there, they were just playing around. They didnt even take the game seriously. Their coach was chatting with another player from the titans damn near the whole game chatting when the game was happening so anong pinagsasabi mo dyan? haha, some people I tell you.
Oh and about the only funny thing that happen in that game is one player from RB kept raising his hand everytime he makes a shot, it wasnt harmful but it was just so weird that it was so funny, lol. kudos to both teams!!!
hey Janelle,this is what you have commented in regards to mr.count it comment:that is not a nice thing to say...you might have won the trophy,but when it comes to good behavior...you guys lost.Your team is full of cockiness etc..this is as far as you can go.KNOW YOUR SINGULAR FROM PLURAL NOUNS.if you got offended by mr.count it's comment,you should have directly addressed it to him,not to the guys,team,fans whatever you want to define a team.You even went far by judging these GUYS again with an "S"that they may have won the trophy but not the respect.But then again it's your opinion,just like everybody here.AGAIN,LET HIM WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE,gets mo?you are just as guilty as all the commentators.PEACE KABABAYAN!
To Nagpapakatotoo!
Very well said kosa ;)
Janelle quiet ka na lang, tago ka na sa lungga mo... ikaw ang hater e.
Peace! ;)
This shall be my last comment as this whole thing is getting tiring, all that’s to be said about me just to come back to you, because me, a supposed to be “GK hater” (which I’m not) is just like all of you TFC haters (not just TFC actually, I noticed other teams are being dissed too). Just remember if you say that I’m hater, you’re haters too; if you say I’m pikon then you’re pikon too…so whatever you have left to say to me all I have to say is…SAME TO YOU! And if you dare think that I’m “hiding,” HAHA… why would I? This forum thing is just really getting way out of hand. I know what I’m fighting for, and I’m sure that other readers will see how some people here just goes over the line of respect, and for what? What do you get for saying stuff about other teams…tsk…get over it! I say my congratulations to GK as I am not a GK Warrior hater, I’m a hater for haters not GK! “PEACE”
alas you have admitted you're just like all the commentators here.Exactly what i have been pointing out in the famous quote.sa wakas naintindihan mo rin.As far as I remember your initial comment on this blog was fueled with HATE referring to the guys,team,fans whatever you want to define it and you have the nerve to say that "people here just goes (by the way go is the right plural verb)over the line of respect.STOP changing the subject...obviously,you don't know what your fighting for...moreover,what a deceitful thing to say "NOT A HATER" just go back to your original comment...and if you're tired of commenting here,tama si chikalang magtago ka na lang.You are just as confuse as you look.LATER UH'LLIGATER!
to nagpapakatotoo lang:
well said pare.masyado mo 'atang pinahihirapan si Janelle.Hinde nya pa nga nasasagot yung singular/plural noun na issue,eh sa verbs pa kaya!dami pa nyang nabitaw na mga salita...at the end magcocongratulate rin pala!Her first comment obviously shows she's not a hater!(in a confuse state of mind).....har..har..har..
