So Meralco will not play at home in their rematch against Ryukyu on December 13.

At least TNT's loses in the EASL are close games. But Meralco's blowout loss was simply frustrating. OK lang matalo ng single digit or at most 10 to 14 pts in a game in which your team has a chance to win. But losing by 20+ pts is really disappointing.

You need someone who can create shots inside the arc, whether slashing, post ups, or midrange. Like a Brownlee or June Mar or Castro.

That's going Inside-Out. With 5-Out offense it's more Outside-In, you generate inside opportunities by having threats outside.

And like System mentioned, you need bigger and more athletic players to play the conventional inside-out.

its in the system because there are more spots beyond the arc.. back in the 2000's we see players opting not to shoot from curry range but these are all muscled guys and does make 9 outof ten even 7 out of ten in that range is enough, as if you have a slowest of release to be able not to pull the trigger..the only hatch on that system is that it can be stopped in crucial moments..(Case in point San Juan and Pampanga game 2 mpbl final 4).. you need a Justine baltazar, Rui Hachomura, Yuta watanabe , josh hawkinson type of bigs to be able to withstand your teams "downtime"

The 35 threes attempted by Ryukyu is just pure and blissful perfect utilization of the modern game trend. And this is them not just hoisting threes just for the sake. There were little to no forced threes, no Luka-esque stepback threes or any of the similar. The attempts were mostly within the flow of their passing system. I truly wish we could adapt a system like this for our athletically handicapped players.

I wonder how much analytics the pba utilizes. Alba used to be with Meralco.

Pay attention to some uaap teams during timeouts. There are a lot of young coaching staff holding laptops. Those are the analytics crew. You can spot them during timeouts when they use their laptops to cover the team huddle. Some teams have spies in the stadium and they peep on the other team's huddle and relay information to their coaches.

5g na ba sa moa and araneta heheh, and so dati magkasama si sandro at alba sa meralco, thats a young coaching staff they had..

Such a stark difference between how Ryukyu and Meralco plays. Meralco, while relatively a good passing team in the PBA, is leagues behind how Ryukyu plays their euroball and passing -centric offense. Ryukyu also plays the analytics well, and they shoot a good volume of threes. Their sound, quick offensive sets give them great looks for threes. Meralco seems shell-shocked as they do not seem to know how to defend a team like this as they do not see this ball movement in the PBA. 18 made threes by Ryukyu against only 2 by Meralco. The result: a blowout.

To be fair, Meralco is missing key players and an import. I don't think though that their presence will change the result that much considering the drastic difference how the two teams approach the game.

The english commentators blasting how Meralco plays and praising the ball movement and system of Ryukyu needs to be an eye opener for the PBA to improve their style of play.

If you're going to say something like this, you better be prepared to have the league back it up.

For instance, performing well in this stage might help solidify this notion.

[System]

And MERALCO are usually a good defensive team in the PBA, but in this game, this defense ain't it. Ryukyu were 18-35 from 3.

bgsm dodged a bullet by withdrawing, though i rhink out if all the pba teams they have the highest chance of being competitive, plus JB will count as a local (too bad he’s suspended)

I think BGSM backing out of the EASL is a smart move from both the team and the PBA. They have little to gain and a lot to lose if they will also not perform well. Ginebra is currently the face of the PBA and them losing as well will vastly dent the PBA's reputation even more. As long as the PBA fans feel that we have not yet "shown our best," their is still this hope (albeit rather false) that the PBA is still competitive against the top Asian leagues.

- Single import with height restrictions
- Restrictive against FSAs, naturalized players and Asian imports
- Tournament format
- No genuine home-and-away format
- Outdated coaching schemes

And we still hoping for a win in EASL?

So pwede pala.. Kouame, Quicy, RHj, asian superstar at Castro for easl..

PBA should make a 5-month long conference with teams allowed to parade at least 1 world import and an FSA/Asian import/NP normal, for more satisfactory results in the international club competitions. I just don't see PBA teams being successful in EASL if they don't have solid cohesion/team chemistry with just 1 import.

Yes, Eboka made his EASL debut tonight and made a good account of himself as the energy guy of the bench playing back up for FUBON's big import, Bale the Braves have Singletary and Robinson as World imports, Barefield as Asian import and Eboka as the FSA
