East Asia Super League

[BJ_Reloaded]

I always keep on mentioning this before

because PBA teams are more accustomed to play with a single import both for its reinforced conferences therefore adding additional reinforcement

in actual games will certainly exposed lack of chemistry and cohesion amongst the players.

considering that the leagues was an active member of EASL wherein as per policy they are allowed to parade 2 World Imports with unlimited height and 1 Naturalized player but

will be considered as a local all at the same time during actual games.

and that's really a problem to all PBA teams who are participating in that tournament.

don't expect our Philippine representative will provide stiff competition with their Asian counterpart if they are stoneheaded and keeps on implementing that 1 import rule on all

it's import flavored conferences.

that is why the impression was "those PBA teams are only there just for a mere attendance not really to compete if we've seen them competing in some degree well it is just pretentious

because the real mindset was on the PBA no more no less".

Grandpa Dean and Grandpa Noli being one of the broadcast commentator of EASL are totally aware of this but they keep on biting their tongue bec. they are restrained(?) to spit it out the real score from their respective platform.

if only they could emulate the NBA's "In-Season tournament" and coincide it during EASL season while a PBA conference are on-going(it's perfect if it's an All-Filipino Conference)

therefore issues about cohesion and chemistry will certainly been address without compromising nor disrupting the campaign of each PBA ballclub during the on-going season.

now if the issue about finances, well scrapping one of those redundant conference with height restriction will not compromise the overall dynamics, the financial pocket and process flow of the PBA.

just continue inviting foreign based club team in the same breath as BAD or much better more than one.

it's a guarantee, fans will certainly drove again on every venue to watch a game imagine if they could only lure a mid-tier team from the CBA or NBL that would be a dandy.

obviously if that happens finances of the PBA will certainly improves.

I've posted this idea before and the bottomline here is who will benefits on all of this.

well definitely the overall landscape of Philippine basketball will improve from the national team down to it's grassroot level.

oh dear for now the PBA Grandpas are still implementing the jurassic way of running a show.

it's there safe space there comfortable buffer zone.

it's a natural thing on any human being when all of us reach that Grandpa level

aspiration, goal and desire in life are not as motivating and enthusiastic compared to the heyday level.

it's a rare thing, an endangered species if we've encountered people even in their old age but still keeps on exploring new things or innovations

and that wisdom is biblical

it is what it is.

Maybe unpopular but Chot and TNT should play in the EASL.

Not because I support Chot. Dahil may paki ng kaunti si Chot at MVP sa international tournaments.

I don’t want to see another SMC-backed team in this league. Fucking grandpas.

How about Ginebra? Well, depending who will be on top in AFC... AFC is SMB's world, and again they will be likely the representatives again...

Don't worry Meralco... Gilas will revenge you vs Taiwan next week... Gilas will destroy Taiwanese team.. even they will make the game more favorable to them especially refs ..

[Silent Killer]

Double OT, Rios with a hail-mary 3 to tie the game.

106-96 win for new taipei

Hats off to meralco. Heck of a job this easl season..

This Meralco - Taipei game is like a remnant of the SGA vs Chinese Taipei finals, import looks like selling the game again. Costly turnovers and defensive collapse on their end many times. Especially Akil, this is not the way he plays at PBA. Only the locals are the ones keeping them alive.

Hoping this league will stay forever.. we need event like this to fasten the development of Asian basketball... NTK, Taoyun and Pelita Jaya are top teams there since all of them have very good quality imports.. In this event like this, imports are always dominate.. last year Pelita Jaya surprised everyone because of quality imports such as our own Brownlee.. now they have very good quality imports such as KJ McDaniels and Thomas Robinson...

The east qualifiers should have one rep the easl champion since taiwan hk teams are partocopating should get one spot..

EASL and BCL are separate leagues.. and they base thru Fiba rankings... Two Taiwanese teams will be favored but Pelita Jaya will be dark horse since they have very quality imports in Thomas Robinson and KJ McDaniels plus naturalized slot Anthony Beane also most of their line up are part of Indonesian national team... Remember Pelita Jaya beat KCC of KBL and Gorgan of Iran last year...

SMB has been an eyesore in the EASL right from the get go. Its performance is a shame for Philippine basketball. Nakakahiya!

At least yung Meralco alam mo may determination to win & is really playing for pride, most of its loses were close games. SMB on the other hand, puro talo na nga, most of its loses were tambak.

Did Meralco also lost close to 20 pts. against Ryukyu

Meralco didn't have one of its import in that game. I think it was a 17 pt loss to Ryuku

San Miguel also did not have two imports in their 2 games ago. Also, it was better benching their two first import
Meralco have Kwame and 2 imports yet they can dominate

In 5 games (all losses), SMB lost by an average of 14.4 points. In addition, three of their losses were by double digits. Their closest losses were by 6 points to KT in MOA and by 9 points to Eastern in Hong Kong.

MERALCO lost by an average margin of 8.3 points in their losses. Before the 18-point loss to Ryukyu in ULTRA, MERALCO lost by 3 against Ryukyu in Okinawa and by 4 against KCC in Busan. And they have a chance to qualify for the Final Four if they win in New Taipei on February 12 (apologies for saying that the game will be this week, by the way).
