Originally posted by Supremo30 View PostThe big question now is how the PBA will adjust its eligibility rule considering that Brownlee is now a naturalized Filipino. I'm sure SMC(Ginebra in particular) wants JB to play in All-Filipino Conference. Or the league will reformat it's setup?
The difference between the case of Douthit and Blatche, they were associated with the MVP group and JB is with the SMC....

Originally posted by Rds View PostMalonzo indeed was the difference maker in game 7. Goorjan was saying that their presence brings improvement to their opponents as well as to their team. And it is exemplified by the improvement of Standhardingers game as well as Malonzo. CS in the PBA was all about bulldozing opponents. But now his "jumper" a bit farther from the rim has been money. Malonzo on the other hand showed why a 6'2 import, no matter how good he is, can be nullified by a tall active SF. BAD was forced to play Powell at 3 so they could also play Yang and Lam. Malonzo abused them on the boards because of this. And punished them later when they sagged off him.
Tall SFs have generally not been useful in the Philippine setting because of the extreme phyisicality allowed. Laterals and dribbling skill become useless if your are mugged everytime you drive in the paint. But if calls were like in game 7 they will allow the Malonzos to thrive and actually help Philippine basketball develop to the modern era.

Originally posted by jasper222 View PostCongratulations to Ginebra, people are now calling Brownlee the MJ of the PBA. 6 Finals 6 wins.
I'm recalling a statement I posted back when I said the PBA will make this last until 7 and some people challenged me...I told you so.
PBA is too predictable that we can even say its scripted.

I think PBA should go the way of B. league as far as mitigating the advantage of moneyed clubs having NPs are concerned. Teams that won't be able to hire NPs should be allowed to hire Asian imports (legit FIBA Asia local, no height limit) aside from former FSAs, at least for the reinforced conferences.
For AFC, as a handicap, the 7-Fil-for/Fil-heritage limit would be suspended for the NP-less clubs, and they should be able to direct-hire guys like Barefield, Holt, Sage Tolentino, QMB, etc. NP-laden clubs would not be allowed to do the same.
