PBA 49th Season

It just because Brownlee beat him in Asian games.. but they forgot that Gilas w/o Brownlee is way better than RHJ less Jordan.. I remember Jordan w/o an import can't even beat Saudi Arabia...

Gilas beat Jordan because RHJ got locked up by Newsome.
 
Same how Brazil beat Gilas, stop Brownlee and it's over already...

But I think in the Asian level, Gilas can compete without Brownlee. I remember in a window qualifier of 2023 World Cup, Gilas beat Jordan. Jordan had Dar Tucker as its naturalized player while Gilas had Ange Kouame as its naturalized player. I think Kouame's equivalent player in terms of skills & quality is somewhat that of an AJ Edu. Both players not really high scorers but are effective role players.

Also in 2021 Gilas made up of amateur then amateur players (Kai, Dwight Ramos, Tamayo, Baltazar, Navarro, Belangel, RJ Abarrientos) with Ange Kouame as its naturalized player (Kouame an amateur player back then), & Tab Baldwin as its coach beat a South Korea national team with Ricardo Rattlife as its naturalized player. Gilas beat the Koreans not only once but twice.

This is my same testament why Gilas beat Jordan in Asian games finals.. Gilas is still atleast top 8 in Asia w/o Brownlee but if you pull out RHJ or any import of Jordan, they are lower than Indonesia or KSA… our locals are good compare to Jordan… if RHJ is still available, I would love to have him as our naturalized player.. he can fit on every single player on the court…

I don’t think so, RHJ was limited last asian games due to our team defense.. aside from Newsome, he had to deal with Oftana, Scottie, JB and with help side defense of Kouame.. that’s huge… Ginebra doesn’t have Kouame type of player to help to defend RHJ… RHJ and Newsome faced off this conference and RHJ had easy dub against Meralco… it was just a team defense that limit RHJ…

Oh yeah. I almost forgot about how good Kouame was during the Asian Games.

Losing CStan is critical for BGSM, he's the anchor on defense
 
I think there are some shortage of quality Young Local (Gilas Eligible Bigs) in Pba.

34+ yrs old Junmar, Japeth, Ian, Almazan, Erram are still the best Local Eligible Bigs?

Where are other young bigs?

We have some Fil Foreign Bigs that will be in the draft, and just starting in pba. But most of them are gilas ineligible.

I think the only Good Local Young Bigs are

Justin Baltazar and Justin Ara
 
Metrowalk viewed as a possible location for the planned PBA Arena.

THE PBA is looking at a piece of the ‘Payanig sa Pasig’ property or where the Metrowalk Commercial Complex stands as a possible location for its own arena.

Commissioner Willie Marcial and former Ilocos Sur governor Chavit Singson had preliminary discussions about the league’s plan for its own arena during Game One of the Governors’ Cup finals between TNT and Barangay Ginebra at the Ynares Center last Sunday where Singson was present, a source said.

Singson, through the LCS Group, controls the Metrowalk property located at the general vicinity of Ortigas Avenue and Meralco Avenue in Pasig City. It was once the site of the ‘Payanig sa Pasig’ amusement park that became a popular attraction during the 1990s.

According to a report by Esquire, Singson, through his BLEMP Commercial Philippines Inc., is claiming ownership of the entire 18.5 hectares of the ‘Payanig sa Pasig’ lot which includes the Metrowalk property.

Singson said last April that his company plans to redevelop the area into a ‘new city’. One of the stations of the Metro Manila Subway that is now being constructed will also be located in the area.

The PBA’s dream to build an arena it can call its own was revived after their planning session prior to the 49th season.

Pasig? lol floods are shit in that area.

Then again, it's near a MM Subway stop so that's good. One thing I hated about watching games in MOA is the traffic otw to Pasay. Not sure how is it now but when I last watched a game in 2013, I really hated my commute from Imus to Pasay.

Araneta is still the most accessible area to everyone, UAAP must have gotten a pretty nice deal in MOA arena since schools are quite distant from the venue compared to Araneta. Not even gonna ask why NCAA holds some of the games there.
 
by the way is MOA area gonna be served by any rail service like MRT or LRT? like any under construction station nearby?

None. The closest is still the Edsa Taft LRT/MRT. There is the LRT extension but I dont know if it has a station nearer to MOA.

Only public transportation accessible to MoA are jeepneys nearby there, Bus (including the EDSA bus lane) and taxis...
 
TNT takes the crown of the 2024 PBA governors cup.

RHJ BEST IMPORT OF THE CONFERENCE.
