Hard for CS to play if the team doesnt have intention to win. Terrafirma/SMC is just mocking the pinoy fans.

I still think Yeng Guiao is right about the 4pt shot and after several games I dont feel it added any excitement at all to the PBA games. And despite their discounted prices their gate attendance is still dismal to say the least. And I feel filipino fans are more eager and have more interest to watch the collegiate leagues over the PBA.お元気ですか?

The reason why NBA and FIBA didn't even tried to have 4 pt line since it was useless and no excitement to be used it at the first place...

Curry, Dame, etc would be too much. You'd be giving the offence too much advantage. There's a reason why despite the NBA changing it's rules to make the game more visually pleasing to casuals ie allowing teams to score more, dunks, 3s etc hasn't done it.Attack

Hope he goes to a team which will play him at 3 if he's gonna be traded. The 3 is his FIBA position, and neither Oftana nor Malonzo have shown to be good man defenders (although they're good team defenders). He's been bringing up the ball since last season. Hope his shooting keeps up, though. He shot 25.9% from 3 last season, should bounce back."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. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV

Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostIts good to see that it seems Will Navarro is hardly affected by the ACL injury he suffered last year. Well, as what I've said, in our modern time, ACL injuries are usually not that career threatening nor they have much detrimental effect on the quickness/speed & the leaping ability of the player. Perhaps that is the benefit of the advancement of modern sports medicine.

His game isn't that dependent on athleticism anyway. Just smart moves on offense (although he showed shot creation last night), and staying on his man or being in position on defense."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.

Speaking of Northport, kung sana hindi na galawin ang current lineup ng Northporth, this team is competitive specially in import-laden conferences. They have Arvin Tolentino as its go-to-guy, then it got a strong supporting cast like Joshua Munzon, Will Navarro, Abu Tratter, Flores, then it got young promising point guards like Fran Yu & Evan Nelle. Maganda ang matertales ng team eh kung titingnan natin.
Sadly, it's an SMC farm team so we should expect the key players like Tolentino, Navarro would be harvested by either SMB or Ginebra or Magnolia. Si Lucero eh kaka harvest lang ng Magnolia."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.

Bro, picture this: a PBA team with competent wings, fours & guards that could match up that of SMB (perhaps even slightly better than SMB), but that team only has 6-5/6-6 centers whom Junmar & Mo Tautuaa would easily outmuscle inside the shaded lane. Remember, despite his age, Junmar seems to be getting even more unstoppable inside the shaded lane.
Now what if teams are allowed to have import w/o height limit. That team with short local centers will probably hire an import standing at least 6-foot-10 who wud be playing as center. On the other hand, SMB would probably be hiring an import playing as a "four" instead of an import who is natural center becoz SMB already has two formidable local centers in Junmar & Tautuaa. With that, ma neutralize yung edge ng SMB sa center position. It would create some mismatch in the four position becoz SMB's import is playing that position while the opposing team only has local players to match up at the 4 spot. But I think the impact of a mismatch in the 4 position isn't as much as having a mismatch in the center position. It's not a coincidence that SMB is the most dominant team in the PBA for several years now. Malaking bagay that SMB has a junmar fajardo while the rest of the PBA teams (perhaps except Ginebra with Standhardinger) has no local player who can match up Junmar. I mean in gave SMB a significant edge that it has the best center rotation in the league with Junmar & Mo Tautuaa.
