Topic: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup - page 39. (Read 98550 times)
With this tournament that we will follow, it seems like the return of the PBA will be after this. Although the Gilas are on a bracket that are with the good teams, we can still trust them and hopefully even if they will not win they will be able to compete and give the opposing team a scare.
Philippines is currently ranked at 37 while Latvia at 6 and Georgia at 23, this would be a tough challenge for Gilas, but nothing as impossible for this team.
Ranking list.

GILAS Pilipinas will have to make do with an 11-man crew in the coming Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Latvia.
Guard Scottie Thompson is the latest player to be stricken out of the national team as the former PBA MVP hasn't fully recovered yet from the bulging disc that has bothered him during Ginebra's campaign in the recently concluded Philippine Cup.
Thompson now joins fellow injured players Jamie Malonzo and AJ Edu on the sidelines.

Thanks for the update, in terms of Thompson's capabilities, I think with how Newsome played during that finals for sure coach Tim will give him more time, knowing that it was coach Tim who call for him and adds him in these squad, I like the balance as all the players can be rotate and blends together, they already prove it last time and with the practices that they conduct and the kind of trut they gave to their headcoach, we might see a very competitive squad who can bring good recognitions to our country, good luck Team PH make our coutry proud and again be notice internationally.
Thanks for the update, I'm glad to see that Brownlee is already in the list.
I agree, Thompson may not be 100%, and we saw that on how he played in the All Filipino cup semifinals series against the Meralco, so if he will not play, that's understandable as long as Brownlee is there. As to their bracket based on the article provided.
they are with Georgia and Latvia in Group A.
Meaning they'll play this two teams?
By the way the tournament will start July 2.

I thought Hugnatan was no longer with the Bolts, but he just changed roles from player to assistant coach.
Now, he has a championship to his name. It was a long-awaited success, but it finally came, even though he is no longer a player.

and this is what Newsome had said about the work ethic of Hugnatan,
This success is really big for them as this is the first in the franchise, so hopefully we will see them again in the same stage.

Hugnatan set an example
“'Papa Rey,' he set that example to all the Meralco people,” said Finals MVP Chris Newsome. “Even today, he is the first in the gym.”
Even in his mid-40s, Hugnatan continues to keep himself in shape, and is actually under contract with the San Juan Knights in the MPBL as a player.

Thank you kabayan for the correction, I made my own little research and indeed it was their first title after 14 years of campaign. This may be their first but this could the first of many championships to come as this one really bolster their confidence that they could beat a giant team like Ginebra and SMB. If they could get a good import this Commissioner's Cup then most likely we can see them fighting for the championship again later this year.
Hopefully kabayan since TNT seems unable to find the right blend to compete with SMC's squads it's better to see another team to carry the torch of MVP's squad hahaha, we can't deny the fact that only two giant owners can really pay for players /stars that will be compensated so well, and moving back with Meralco's current roster, hopefully they will continue working with more improvements and with that competitive desire to win another title if given a chance.
With the wholse cast of this curretn champ roster, adding a good import who can give them that support that they need to stay on top, let see if how they will perform this coming new season.
If Meralco will keep their defense but will improve their offense like TNT, they can be so deadly as like TNT, they are good outside shooters. Next season is a different season with imports, so hopefully they'll be able to get a good one. Actually, I miss Durham, I hope he is still available and be the import of Meralco as that import is really good, he could carry his team but he will now be playing a better team in case he'll be back again.

What a run for Meralco and finally, they get their first ever title in PBA.
They are contender to the title for years and now they finally make it and yes Newsome did a great job this season. Still kudos to SMB for showing their hearts out, I'm gonna miss PBA again as the next conference will take more time to wait. Have you guys celebrated along with Meralco or lose the bet with SMB? I made some profit here betting with Meralco, it's worth the risk.

In my memory serves me right, this championship is the second on the franchise while first for the Philippine Cup.
Based in wiki, that was their first championship.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meralco_Bolts
Newsome and Hodges were instrumental in that championship and yes kudos to the Beermen for giving the Finals a must anticipated game to watch and as i have observed, fans were trooping to the arena to watch those finals games.
On the 6 six game of that Finals, i was 4/6, the lose were the last two game as i though that the Beermen would win that game after a good showing in game 4. I regret on not sticking to my game plan of always betting for the Bolts until the end of the series.

True, Hodge is also a big factor in that success, his energy on the floor is remarkable. He really put an effort on defense and getting the rebounds despite of the bigs of SMB, it was a hard earned victory for them and they deserve their first championship of their franchise.
Just getting curious with kabayang bisdak reply I also check it online and according to that same post you shared it is the first one for Meralco to win a PBA title, and for me, winning it during the All-filipino cup is a sweetest one, that means a lot since that there are few teams who are exchanging the title.
And now that they already have one, they just need to add good import to reinforce them, they've got the talents and the chemistries, just need to keep that same squad and keep improving, they might win more if they continue playing like this, a squad who lean with each other on both thier offense and defense.

Just to give some news that coach Vanguardia has been hired by the Atlanta Hawks to be part of the coaching staff for their NBA Summer League.

Wow, we've got world class coaches and we all knew that Jimmy Alapag is with the Sacramento Kings. So, we might not have players yet that will play in the NBA but we've got coaches to be part of any team's coaching staff there.
That's a good news for our Local coaches, and that could be a great exposure for them.(https://tribune.net.ph/2024/06/20/vanguardia-bags-hawks-coaching-job)

We have a world class coaches as well, and no wonder if they are able to get a job in NBA teams considering their experiences as well.
I just hope that they will come back here and use their experience to help the local teams be better not just in PBA but also in international league.
The contract might just be for the summer league and that's why he'll back but it's best to get more opportunities there.

Congratulations to Meralco Bolts for winning the season 48 Philippine Cup. Wow, that's a long history for them before winning a title. For 14 years, they have to be too patient with that and never gave up. I thought that it's gonna be a game of SMB and we'd see a 7 but it didn't.
That last shot of Newsome really made the team proud of their own. I remember him being there for the Gilas on the bench even if he's not part of the roster, now, he deserves to be there. I guess that everyone is going to agree or was he already included?

Those who are risk takers for sure they follow the trend and manage to make money during the series but for those fans who loves supporting the heavy favorites, I guess the bookies suck their money, as for the entire series it was SMB who got the side for the favorite and those who pick Meralco's handicap manage to win.
It takes some for the season to rest hopefully whatever the plan for this upcoming season they'll bring something interesting for the fans.

Speaking of imports, Brownlee still could not come back since he might be serving a penalty, so we might see new imports coming for Ginebra. That will be a different story for sure, as so far, JB has been their best import. Also, there are rumors that the PBA is going to invite an overseas team like before. Would this happen?
I'm not sure what's next but the rumor is that with an import and if possible, they're going to make it 2 imports per team.This has not happened before, right?
No offense to the fans, but in my honest opinion, I don't see it entertaining. I can't imagine what would happen, it will only become a battle of imports where our local will not be able to show their talents. IMO, one import is already enough, just like before, it's already entertaining and as I can see, the love of the fans to the PBA is slowly coming back, so they just have to continue what they are doing.
The fans thoughts about it is divided. While many don't think it's a good idea because the playing of one local player should go to the other import. Well, it's just a rumor and probably in plans now because there might be another guest team on the talks. We don't know yet but the PBA is now listening to the fans on what they should do to take the hearts of the fans back.

Totally agree, bringing two imports per team will be disastrous to the PBA. They have experimented that "two import" scheme before and i do think that they saw some disadvantages on that one so they modify to only one import. Maybe implementing a no height limit is quite entertaining IMO as more talented import from the NBA might be interested in bringing their skills to the PBA like Dwight Howard who is very much interested on playing in the PBA and he alone can bring in the crowds to the Araneta Coliseum.
