to be honest I dont see any team getting past TNT, TNT is just way too complete compared to NP Converge RoS Ginebra and Meralco. RHJ will probably Tolentino's biggest challenge one that im not confident he can overcome, if he does hes definitely in consideration again for Gilas. Converge is too thin at the bench to go man to man with TNT's depth though Diallo will probably their xfactor, RoS still lacks a proper a focal point of offense, Ginebra is only marginally stronger with a more tired Brownlee and theyre relying more on RJ on offense.

The Ginebra guard asked the public to report the dummy accounts that sent the death threats."Photo from Abarrientos' Instagram Story
"Posting this for awareness. Grabe talaga mga tao sa social media. Talo lang sa pusta, biglang death threats gamit dummy accounts, pati pamilya dinadamay pa," the 25-year-old hoops player said.
"Paki-report! Nakakaalarma 'yung ganitong ugali," he also said.

The clamor to include Jordan Heading to Gilas would only get stronger by this. How could one as good as this player be left out of our current national team?

Just noticed this while watching the ROS vs Converge game. I think the Pinoy step is travelling. Seeing what the actual move is I realized I already saw this being done almost 30 years ago or at least the early version of it while playing pick-up ball as a teen. I was a in a dorm with kids all over the country. There was this was one kid from the province who had a reputation of being a good baller. I didn't understand. He was a bit short, not fast, was not a jumper, was not a shooter nor was an excellent dribbler. And then I saw him drive. He did his two steps but he would slide his feet making his strides longer and unpredictable. To me it looked suspiciously like travelling. Fast forward to today. It seems to me the Pinoy step basically drags the pivot foot before stepping on the other foot. This makes the stride longer and more unpredictable. But it sorry it looks like travelling to me because the foot being dragged is the pivot foot. It is hard to catch it at real time but on slow motion it is obvious that the pivot foot is being dragged.

Nope. Not until after FIBA Asia Cup. Any new player added will disrupt team’s cohesion… unless if there’s injuries in guard position…
Well, that thing is moot & academic now. We are just lucky that none of our guards got injured since the 2nd window so we weren't really in need of a replacement."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

Yeah. Only the Nieto brothers & Rey Suerte are the ones who aren't making significant impact. But I think not too many of us here expected these players to become impact players anyway.
