47th PBA Season (Philippine Cup, Commissioner’s Cup & Governor’s Cup)

I think Iskati learned from his FIBA experience. Now a more aggressive defender.

6 pts 8 rebs 5 ast 2 blocks 2 steals so far after 3 quarters

Bay Area playing slower w/o Powell, wow BGSM now up by 19

PBA should allow powell and nicholson play together..

PBA should allow powell and nicholson play together..

and they should alo be allowed to field all their Chinese-Foreigners at the same time (they're cap at 3 at the same time). Goorijan waved the white flag i guess, he's clearing the bench

Anak ng tokwa iho! Why can't he play like that when he's in Gilas uniform.

He played well when their have a good prep and not tired from PBA playoffs. But his time is up now for Gilas

Chinese Foreigners are capped because they dont even have passports yet. Thats why Duncan Reid isnt part of the cap.

Yeah, I agree. In EASL, where PBA teams are also participating, they are allowed to field two world imports and one Asian import.

thanks for the clarification,

I thought we want balance in the league. Some of their Chinese players dont have chinese passport and are american citizens.

Did Coach Goorjian make a mistake in subbing out Powell? Maybe he was too concerned to match up with BGKs height.

 

[zairex2]

Ginebra again shows how they close out and out rebound. Unlike their perceptiom that like to do packline defense

 

[CoJ2]

With Nicholson as import, i dont like Bay Area's chances against TNT, and might struggle against teams that defend the perimeter well like Mags, ROS and Meralco.

most likely, messed up the Dragons running game and without Powell, they have no one who could penetrate which puts too much pressure on Glen Yang

Ayun nga, e. Cone packs the paint, usually, and gave up 16-40 (40%) from 3 to Indonesia in the SEA Games, and 34% to Thailand too. And now, good effort in the rotations.

Poor PBA and Terrafirma.. They said Javi to Gray trade is fair aahhhh? hhmmm!!!!!!

I knew it was just a hoax that Jeremiah Gray will be out until January 2023

 

[CoJ2]

With the way they played vs Ginebra... They don't have a chance vs SMB and TNT... too much firepower for them... The PBA's big 3 line up is the Gilas 1,2 and 3 already.. plus they have a very good imports in Oliver, Brownlee and Stone...

actually i see them winning against SMB as the beermen plays a slow pace. While TNT is a bad matchup for Bay Area w/o Powell. Meralco, Mags and ROS are good perimeter defense teams, they'll definitely lock/hound the Dragons shooters. W/O Powell, the Dragons have no one (aside from Yang) that could penetrate and attract defenses

Well Bay Area really have two players that can attack the paint Yang and Powell. So they don't need to think twice in this game to close out and not be blown by. Unlike other PBA teams who can shoot or penetrate efficiently.

The difference between a PBA team and Gilas in Sea games are Chemistry and Prep time. Those are vital for team defense.

If you are fan of PBA... you have to be ready for Ginebra, TNT and SMB perennial finals appearance every conference... Big salute to Kume Marcial for allowing lopsided trades of Perez, Oftana, Cstand, Malonzo, etc... He is one of the biggest reasons why fans don't feel excitement to PBA now.... Their starting 5 of those big 3 teams can create Gilas team selection already... Only Bolick and Abueva is the only other superstars that is not on the big 3 teams....

only way now for the league to be balance is aside from inviting OP guest teams is contraction, go back to the 90s' 8 team setup. the current 12 team setup just dilutes the talent for the remaining teams after the Big 3+ Mags and Meralco.

I understood the logic but alot of people will loss their jobs not just players. Just think PBA works like a European League and like the Toyota Crispa of before

Without these trades I think the PBA will just bleed more talent. Oftana for example signed his extension after going to TNT.
