PBA 49th Season

[JAMSKIE]

Kinda happy with Northport's impressive start in the ongoing PBA Commissioner's Cup with a 3-0 win-loss record. Arvin Tolentino has finally found a home in the PBA & is obviously the team's franchise player. Then he has a good supporting cast in Josh Munzon, Will Navarro, Cade Flores, Onwubere, etc. Everything looks good so far.

But then, reality strikes - Northport is a farm team of the mighty SMC group. It might not take long before these good players would one by one leave Northport & end up playing for SMC teams Ginebra or SMB or Magnolia. At yung matirang players nalang sa Northport eh yung mga below averaged ones & yung mga palaos na players.

And Northport would once again suck!!!

I just hope Northport management proves me wrong.

Bolick is starting to learn to balance his scoring & facilitating skills. Besides Navarro, he's one of the few PBA players who I hope is given another chance to be part of Gilas

Robert Bolick is the man

Northport's switching defense so far early in this conference is pretty impressive.

Lol Chot quitting early.

Any coach will quit after witnessing that awful 3rd qrt.

The rumor Poy E to SMC might be true. The guy is acting up. I won't be surprised if he starts doing dumb stuff intentionally to get traded.

I think the biggest problem of the PBA is the Ginebra monopoly on the fans. Its also whats keeping the league the number 1 in viewership by a mile but it comes with big problems.

Good Day Sir SK,

I just want to add to that comment of "The Daredevil".

revise the century old "eligibility rules" on domestic born and naturalize Filipinos with underlying restrictions.

Victor is the new dummy hehe.. northport as a business entity is different from northport basketball team, northport basketball team comingf rom the old rfm franchise and coca cola franchsie is owned by SMC.. Is like northport is like leasing, I think Phoenix team by Dennis uy, the right of sale is still with SMC as the owner of barako bull, and given dennis uy is in dire straits now, a bailout by RSA can be a great help..

In short, the current NorthPort franchise is just placeholder for an entity willing to enter the PBA. but without means to fully own an independent PBA franchise.

Eastern should activate 6'11 Chris Mclaughlin in lieu of Cameron Clark.

Great competitive game between HK and ROS, too bad the arena is almost empty!
