PBA 49th Season

[JAMSKIE]

I like this finals between TnT & the winner of SMB-Ginebra semis end in 4 to 5 games para naman maka practice agad ang Gilas. I don't care which team wins the Commissioner's Cup title. All I care of is Gilas getting at least 10 days of practice before going to war with New Zealand on Nov. 21.

playoffs basketball truly is different, and i guess props to the coaches and teams for adjusting. The early RJ / Lemetti comparisons migthve been uncalled for haha..

In fairness RJ doesnt have that much pressure. Among guards he is behind Scottie and Holt. Ahanmisi is also there. GSMs backcourt is full of two way players. RJ just needs to come in and be impactful on offense. He doesnt even have to play as much defense.

You do not let Junemar cover on a pick and roll..

[Joe Yabuki]

Andy Jao is right about holt, pretty good player but when he has an off night, he really has an off night

[hmbopbaduwap]

The Iskati-RJ open court connection is a joy to watch.

[Joe Yabuki]

RJ is the best playmaker in Ginebra, Japeth and Scotty, two guys who move alot without the ball thrive with his playmaking.

Gotta sub Holt out

What happened there? Wheres the timeout for smb?

They can't call it has no dead ball. If they let the ball go to Ginebra after the shot clock end. Maybe the ref will need to call a shot clock violation

SMB played on after the stop.

Guys, if this semis would go to game 7 either the Ginebra-SMB or the ROS-TnT series, & the finals would also go to game 7, tama ba that the game 7 of the finals would be Nov. 15?

No coach Tim, its your PBA that will cause the delay of Gilas training for the 2nd window. If you check the B-league schedule, you'll see that it will take a brief break about 10 days prior to the start of the 2nd window qualifier of the Asia Cup. By Nov. 12, available na po for Gilas training sina Kai Sotto, Dwight Ramos & AJ Edu.

Si Carl Tamayo lang among the Gilas player playing overseas that will be late in joining Gilas dahil may game pa yung KBL team nya on Nov. 14.

I'm just praying that the PBA Commisioner's Cup finals won't reach to a game 7 so that PBA Gilas players would be available earlier than expected. Since Ginebra has a very good chance of making it to the finals, if the finals would go to a winner-take-all game 7 then Gibebra's Justin Brownlee, Iskati Thompson & coach Tim himself would only be available for Gilas training by Nov. 16. That's 5 days prior to our game versus tormentor New Zealand.

Kung bakit pa kasi ginawang best of 7 series ang semis? The semis should have been a best of 5 series na lang.

Game 7, if ever, will be on 10 November: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/Zk6xbxgeUBjruKyh/

But I agree, the series should have been best-of-5 to better accommodate Gilas. At least nga, the 6 games a week up to the quarters helped lengthen the break before the window.

the bobooo is making qf best of 5, and semis best of 7, i think aside from NBA only PBA plays at least a seven-game series in each playoff rounds

Agreed on that score. No problem with best-of-7 finals, but yes, the other rounds should have been shorter.

Would they have a break for FIBA Asia for a week

Game 7, if ever, is on 10 November. The NZ game's on 21 November. Break's for more than a week.

However, I think Gilas might need a longer break for the tournament proper, maybe a month or two.
