The Derby Ace Llamados is done for this Import-backed Conference, James Yap is done for this Conference.. and for what I can say their whole team needs a break, and most of all James Yap needs a break from all the things he has faced this Conference/Season. Truly a very busy basketball season for James, non-stop action since playing for the Powerade PBA-backed Philippine National Team.
James had an "Absolute MVP Quality Performance" since winning the All-Filipino Championship and until now in this Import-backed Conference. Fatigue has been a big factor in their last ball-game against the Beermen. Also a big loss was Kerby Raymundo only watching on the sidelines the whole series because of his injuries. The Import selection was also a big impact for the team, Chemistry was their strength in the start of this Conference but ruining that chemistry by the selection of those imports (Lorrenzo Wade, Clif Brown, and Tony Washam) really lowered their team rating.
*James have always been in the eyes of the public since his UAAP days but my Favorite James Yap moment was this one:
*This was his statement in TV Patrol World after that happened:

The San Miguel Beermen, after defeating the BMEG Derby Ace Llamados takes the Finals Seat and waits for the winner of the upcoming Game 7 Alaska - Talk 'N Text match-up to no surprise.
San Miguel has always been the team to beat in every Conference because of their "All-Star" line-up, it's very hard to beat this team because of their athleticism, their veteran leaders, their experience, and their very deep bench. I'll really not be surprised if they win this Championship. In fact, it would delight me to see this team give some of their unused players away to other teams.. Well, that's how they like it, We "fans" can't really do anything about it.
Moving on, the battle of Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters against Alaska Aces will take place on Wednesday 7:00 PM Philippine Time on Solar TV!
These teams both have good players so it's hard to say or comment anything, We will just have to watch this game to see who will advance and who will go home...
This one really is a great game to watch!
*Who will win it all? Who will go to the Championship? Who will go home?
