PBA 49th Season

[Rds]

Ginebra still has the crowd on their side in Delta Land. Japeth playing well in the first half currently getting the edge in his match up against Balti.

Arana is being defended well and so is Cinverges fastbreak attack.

NLEX wins a thriller against Ginebra. NLEX led most of the game. Holt put Ginebra back with a series of 3s. Torres hit the go-ahead 3 but missed 2 FTs after. Bollick sealed it with 2 FTs and NLEX clamped on D on the last play of Ginebra.

Ynares Center II, I hope that it’s a prudent way of spending taxpayers’ money.

venue looks nice

I dont see it, tnt will have 10 percent chance on getting grandslam unless a miracle signing of mikey williams is done.. so tim and chua should focus on fiba asia cup and so everyday games again

Snow's latest blind item pertains at Northport being for sale at 300M but can be negotiable for 100M (minus 4 key players)

Looks like the PBA dodged a bullet

I think this was hinted by Marcial when he mentioned the failure of Starhorse to meet financial requirement, damn, Terrefirma would still be a farm team if sold to this group due to their financial woes

Must-win game for TNT or else, their grandslam bid is done.

For real, Converge is slowly becoming a superteam. The core of Arana, Baltazar, Winston and Stockton even without the injured Heading can compete with San Miguel, Ginebra, Magnolia, Meralco and TNT. They have a good mix of size, speed, athleticism, shooting, defense, offense and their top big men have arguably the highest iq aside from Junemar Fajardo.

Yeah. It seems things are slowly turning around at Converge. As I've said before, Converge owns one of the most (if not the most) formidable backcourt trio in the league - Stockton, Winston & Heading. I think all of whom are national team materials if only Stockton is FIBA-eligible. Then there's the frontcourt of Baltazar, Arana, Brian Santos & recent addition Jackson Corpus.

Ginebra got hit by the injury bug, must be the basketball gods way of punishing them, SMB on the other hand just stockpiled players that dont fit

More teams brings interest to the league specially if they are competitive like ROS and Converge , pinoys love their underdog story (if only the league could market as such)

anyway i hope eastern will return and another guest team commits to the league

I still think Ginebra didn’t win the Holt-Go trade for CStan and Stan. Even that indirect Nonoy-Abarrientos trade doesn’t look lopsided at all. That trade backfired on them—just like the ones SMB made. The Tiongson-Romeo trade has had no impact at all.

Those teams can get all the stars they want, but if the chemistry doesn’t click, it’ll just create a mess instead of wins.
