PBA 49th Season

  • Thread starter Thread starter Silent Killer2
  • Start date Start date
The trio of Alec Stockton, Schonny Winston & Jordan Heading at Converge is starting to become the best backcourt trio in the PBA at present.

Too bad Converge lost to the now very hot Northport team. The 3 aforementioned players all played very well in that game.
 
This HK eastern team is more cohesive and more defensive oriented than Bay area... The latter has stacked line up but this Eastern have better system.. McLaughlin is not that scorer type of import but he is better than Clark or even before Bay Area's Powell and Nicholson... That loss to ROS was their very bad day... And that's normal...
 
Robert, that Bay Area team was special...if not for the upset in easl finals they will win it all if there was a season back then..
 
Looking like Troy Rosario is having minimal impact in Ginebra so far. And when Malonzo comes back I think he will be Aguilar's back up even in the All Filipino conference and will see even fewer minutes.

Yeah, I know.. but this team is more cohesive than bay area.. Bay area mostly rely to their imports while eastern doesn't rely.. you can't see any iso ball here.. they are patient and stick to the game plan.. and their defense was special... JB always having a havoc in scoring vs Bay Area while he's struggling to score against eastern.. It was like JB when playing against TNT.. maybe JB starting to feel father time but not this struggles yesterday... Give credit to eastern especially on defense... That loss against ROS was fluke... If they met again, I'm sure Eastern will demolish ROS...
 
My toxic trait is that i wish Ginebra lands QMB in the upcoming draft. I want him playing in the triangle asap.

Maybe Eastern has some more local talents making it deeper than BAD. But BAD definitely had more high end talent. Andrew Nicholson is a legit NBA alumn with a wide wingspan. Their import now has good fundamentals but isn't a guy you double team. Eastern doesn't have much of a talent lead on GSM. Actually, if CS where there I don't think Eastern would have defeated GSM. GSM is a smaller team without CS.

robert the one who played in bay area yang blankley and lam are the ones who backboned this team.. theres zhu zong wei, duncan reid and giant liu also. If not for the disbandment of bay area one of their additions was Ramon Cao..
 
BAD > Eastern.. BAD is talented team with a good coach in goorjian.. i say deeper than Eastern..

As I said talent wise BAD is better but Eastern is more fluid and more cohesive.. Nicholson is more credentials but I say McLaughlin is better fit.. he doesn't need the ball just to be impactful...

You don't need to be ball dominant guy especially with Eastern who has scorers already such as Lam, Cao, etc... McLaughlin make hard of any opponents driving to the lane, the thing that Nicholson can't do... Yes, it's hard to lose Cstand but who to blame why they lose Cstand by the way? That is also their reason why they lose to TNT last conference... But they have to move on right now and play whoever on this team today...
 
Nice win by Converge over Nlex. Converge's backcourt rotation of Stockton, Heading & Winston is really solid, perhaps the best in the league right now.

Balti's defense and vision is showing up. Hopefully he keeps working on his offense.
 
Converge has a very promising young core (Arana, Stockton, Heading, Winston and Baltazar) and their line up has the potential to be a regular playoff contender. But I think they still need more in order to be able to contend against the top teams in TNT, Ginebra and SMB

I'm confident Balti is going to rediscover the 3-pt shooting he once had, especially during his Gilas stint in 2020-2021 under coach Tab Baldwin.
 
If there is. Ateam that matches up with pba ( not powerhouse would be) the hi tech team or any team from thailand withc the core of thailand nt ( with theur thai ams and bigs ejesu) they can be at least mid tier even in philippine cup tournaments (not saying all filipino, its high time to have a guest team in the leagues most prestigious conference)
 
any thoughts on the comments of Sen. Francis Tolentino about the naturalized players playing as locals in the PBA?
