Pba should go back to small venues and offer free tixs especially for weekday games, that empty araneta is just bad for television

I'm a bit concerned about his D because he didn't defend well throughout last season. Sure, he was a go-to guy, but as a wing, defense is paramount in FIBA.

Watching Will Navarro for NorthPort. He's usually on RHJ (when Munzon's not there) or on the best wing like Oftana. However, his men don't usually attack him 1-on-1.
In rotations, though, he seems to lose his man or he's too deep in help. I dunno if it's because of the team defense breaking down too easily or if he's lost his timing.

Originally posted by JOI2dWorld View Postthere were plays that he defended RHJ well, i think in a better team with better defensive scheme can make Will the defender that he was during his stint with gilas, now i am excited to see the game between Meralco and RHJ to see if Newsome can replicate his defense against him in the Asian Games finals
Let's see how Will plays against TerraFirma, Converge, MERALCO, and Mags. MERALCO has Quinto and Newsome to play 3, and Mags and Converge have wing imports. Let's see how he does. He performs well on defense across 10 games, his chances of getting recalled go up.

I looked at the elims and playoff schedule, and if the PBA adopts the 6-gameday-a-week schedule for the quarterfinals, they can end the Governors' Cup on November 10 or 13 at the latest.
Whatever happens, I hope the playoffs end on November 10 or earlier.

Originally posted by Rds View PostIt is interesting how it changes the PBA game. Fiba has a shorter 3 pt line and with the absence of defensive 3 seconds the court seems to be smaller. Generally small guards are not as effective as say in the NBA. A 4 pt line might give more spacing and balance the Fiba/PBA game a bit to faster players even in the half court.
That hustle might translate to FIBA. Our guys will go out and challenge and contest shots.

If the leaders in the PBA truly want their best players to excel in FIBA, they should fully adopt FIBA rules. There's no need to add any unnecessary "gimmicks." I'm sure the fans will return if they see the changes they want.
They trying so bad to be NBAish.

We don't have an abundance of FIBA-level defensive wings, versatile defensive 198-203cm forwards, and rim protectors. We need to have more of those (although local rim protection isn't that possible with the materials we have; we'll have to rely on imports).
