So, TNT are 0-4, out of the knockouts.

Man, they aren't really good in the Asian context.

Let's not kid ourselves, as entertaining as that 2018 SMB team was, they were already tiers below CBA teams. Since then, EASL proved the PBA is not even better than the KBL and B.League with the P+ League already pulling away.

That's just East Asia. No one's even mentioned FIBA WASL (Lebanon, Iran, Jordan)... that makes the PBA maybe the 7th best league in Asia. Chot went to Korea to go shopping and I bet he's happy.

I think TNT just flat out suck at this point. Their roster's not good until Pogoy comes back. Only pieces worth talking about are the imports, Castro, Oftana, Kelly, Galinato, Khobuntin, Tungcab, and Pogoy. Their depth is terrible.

MERALCO lack offensive pieces and a defensive scheme for this context. This is where they miss Black for defense. Ton of good supporting players, not so much for stars.
 
Carl stays in Japan for this game, a. Not selected for tonight's game with MERALCO.

I like the two import setup for lower tier teams..or that combo a 6'3 and 6'9 since it will sharpen our locals to defend american scorers

1 role player import and 1 scoring import. perfect recipe..
 
Miracle win by meralco, Thanks to Newsome and finally a win for a PBA Team.
 
Meralco made 6 threes compare to modern ball's 13 hahaha..although pinoy ball palyers can be good three point shooters in this setup..
 
lofton 35 pts 6 rebounds 3 assists
newsome 27 pts 8 rebounds
ibeh 15 pts 12 rebounds 3 blocks

They won by defending inside the arc (Ryukyu shot 13-39 from 3 for 39%). Also, Law got tired. More depth also pays off, e.

Thats the reason of PBA of having 3 conferences.

If we implement 2 imports, look at Japan not having any good big men. Even in guard lineup its thin with Immamura and their PG being players with qualities.

FOR meralco, Ibeh will play like 30 mins living 18 mins for Almazan, Bates and Torres in Center position. We might end up like Ryuku no quality bigs.

Ibeh is a traditional big there will be games that they wont play more than 20 minutes with him..the 3 players you mentioned are hybrid 4 and 5's that complement ibehs game pa nga..the problem nga lang is not all bigs ar elike Ibeh, some are thimas robinson like..

Better if Faty or Nwanko like.. just tall role palyers
