Yes, he didn't play his usual minutes, I think he hasn't played 20 minutes yet in a single guy, it's just unfortunate that we cannot find his statistics due ot the PBA's official website lack of update. https://pba.ph/players/june-mar-fajardo

Slowly, he will regain his strength and though he only played with limited minutes now, his contribution is still big, that's what matters for now and I hope the recovery will continue so we will see the old Kraken back.

With the death of his number one fan, I'm sure the impact still inside him, though the good thing is both him and Romeo are now taking practices with the whole team, we will expect them to play.

Slowly but surely if this two players will contribute the way they used to bring to this team, it's tough for every opponents, big easy inside while speed outside, plus those players that will help them chase for the win in every game that they've got.

We will see more actions when the final day of resume happened.

Playing all healthy,? the chance of winning the title is really high for SMB.

The power combo of Romeo and CJ with Fajardo and Mo' adding Santos to complete the power 5 for me personally.
coming off the bench, there's still the big 3 of Lassiter, Cabagnot and Ross.

If the topic is about playing all healthy, I'll go with BGSM or Magnolia.

Let's face the fact here. SMB is not the way before. Aging hitting them up. I hope no criticism from the die-hard SMB fans here that just looking at the names instead of status. Cheesy We have different views.

But personally, I like Phoenix, ROS, or TNT to reach the final or be a champion this conference for a change.

Not sure but yes we do have our own opinion about that,
as I believe that those mentioned names if they are all healthy this coming resume can still make a good damage, JMF still the domination

we know his capabilities, then added to that is Romeo and Perez which both have the characteristic of an assassins.

we all free what to say as what we believe hahaha.. Grin

JMF is not 100% yet, he is still playing with some limited minutes, but with this delayed resumption of the PBA, I think he enjoyed more practice that would eventually prepare him when the season starts. According to the news, it will start this week, so let's wait for that. Actually, I'm consistently checking the betting odds too but I could not find any available odds, so that means the schedule is not final yet.

IMO, if Kiefer would just leave his team, I think they should not let him play anymore as he is not fully dedicated and he will not give his best since he will save his energy to the B league, also, there's a big risk that he will be injured and his dream might be compromised.

You have a point there but if NLEX will make a good rally this conference, I'm expecting Kiefer will give his full responsibility and commitment to the team. As mentioned in the article I shared recently, Kiefer can catch up with the team if NLEX will pass the elimination round.

NLEX by far is not expected to make at least in the playoffs by many, I believed. But if they will make it, Kiefer should not play relax but go all-in to somehow compensate his teammate's efforts that push forward. Unless he doesn't care for it or has no choice because of his future stint on Japan's B League although I'm sure he doesn't have that kind of personality.

PBA season is very crucial now, that's why they added some protocol to ensure the success of the season.

With this news below, one person who gets infected with covid-19, it could potentially result to the stoppage of the season.

Covid cases in six PBA teams will force stoppage of season

Quote
THE PBA will be implementing additional protocols in the conduct of the 2021 Philippine Cup semi-bubble in Pampanga.

PBA commissioner Willie Marcial said the league has required teams to undergo antigen testing on the morning of each game once the season resumes at the Don Honorio Ventura State University (DHVSU) gym in Bacolor, Pampanga.

This is in addition to the weekly RT-PCR testing every Monday that is being conducted since the start of the conference.

I like to ask, I'm browsing at the official website of the PBA, but until now there's still no schedule.

Had they finalize the schedule already, or they are still waiting for the final approval of the IATF?
Please share your knowledge for anyone who knows the current status.

We might see the resumption of the season next week.

As per the latest update, https://pba.ph/news/pba-bacolor-journey-week-one-sked-out-tuesday.

Quote
Either a tripleheader on Wednesday or a doubleheader on Thursday kicks off the tournament restart at the DHVSU gym in Bacolor, Pampanga.

No schedule is listed for now, but they will likely to resume next week, so just a little patient for now.

We need to wait for some days and we will see the game resuming back. All of us here are excited to see our favorite teams playing again though for sure there are also lots of our kabayans who are waiting for the gambling side.. Grin Roll Eyes

needs a little more patience as there's still no schedule but like what the post above, they are setting up  2 or 3 games in this coming resume.

More chance to place our bets and see if we will be lucky. Good luck in Advance!

Let's give them one more season, they had an early exit last season but that is because JMF was injured and he was not able to play, this season, he is healthy and Romeo is healthy as well, I think after this season we can make a conclusion whether they are still the best team or not anymore.

I'm a SMB fan and I'm a little bit happy with this news.
I just hope that he will not get re-injured again.

The roster of SMB as of this moment is full of shooters. Players like Ross, Cabagnot, Perez, Romeo, Pessumal and has a reliable big players like Mo and JMF. TBH, for me they are my top pick for me to win the championship this year not because I'm a fan of them but because their roster is a championship caliber.

Hope there's no more injuries to all the players while playing inside the bubble, thanks in advance PBA!
 

I have not seen CJ and and Romeo playing together, I guess when Romeo is back, CJ will be put in the 2nd unit.
https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/cj-perez-is-a-spark-off-the-bench-for-san-miguel-a795-20210814

Mo is a good reserve for Fajardo and I'm sure they will stick with the original starters while their 2nd unit looks like a starters for other teams, so that's their big advantage this season.

I'm just thinking of the worse outcome that can happen when they let go this venue for their products because there are other leagues that if they jump in, for sure it's going to blow out and will also become popular. Wherever the players are, fans and customers will follow so these two tycoons will be jumping in for whatever they like if they see it's no longer profitable and beneficial for them. But yeah, this is far from happening and we can just think of the worst possible thing to come but right now, as long as the league continues, everything's good.

Just the same, as long as the league continues and these two business tycoons still taking part in the game will continue to bring entertainment to all the fans and viewers. All possibilities are there and indeed, if they both don't see any advantages to their business, they can easily switch to other leagues.

So far it's not what we are seeing and they are still enjoying whatever help the league is bringing to their businesses, and that's good for now since we will enjoy their help even in this time of pandemic season.
As long as they are raking the benefits of it whether the revenues are not the same as before, they'll stay in the league.

Two possible scenarios that might happen if those 2 big names jumped into another league.
1. PBA might go down and another PH league will arise.
2. PBA will try to recover by adding more teams coming from different companies.

Basketball here in our country is business lets face it and the league is revolving around 2 companies namely SMC and MVP companies and teams. Without the 2 of them, there will be no PBA and the league might crumble as well. These losses coming from the league isn't permanent and I believe that the league will recover from its losses. The only problem is that "how sustainable the league is during this pandemic".

We already read that the league lost 70 Million with the bubble that they did last year. In the end, I believe that the Pangilinans and the Cojuangco's will not leave the league. They're businessmen and losses in a business is already normal for them. They are thinking long term and they believe that the league will recover once the pandemic has ended.
1. There are already the other leagues that have been gaining traction but there's still a lack of support from most of the basketball fans.
2. This is the other way of their recovery at least for the players but will be hard for the PBA. (https://www.spin.ph/basketball/kbl-opens-door-for-filipino-players-expands-asian-quota-a2437-20210826)
I think the usual addition of more teams from different companies is really an option for them. But isn't there a rule that they're only limited to the current slot or they can expand as many as they can as long as they passed the requirements that the PBA has set?

I thought Kiefer Ravena will just start doing some activities related to his Japan B league stint once the current PBA conference is done. Just for a recap, he mentioned he will finish first his duty as part of the NLEX team. Kiefer is now starting to work on his requirements and on his way to Japan but like in any country, a 14-day quarantine is a must there for visitors. Going back to the Philippines, another 10 days quarantine is required.

If the PBA will come back by either next week or two and teams and teams have around 6-7 games remaining, Kiefer won't make it to the eliminations since PBA will schedule their games 5 days a week and all games are triple-headers and possible back-to-back games by each team. Unless NLEX will reach semis, if lucky, Kiefer will be able to play.

https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/08/25/21/pba-kiefer-likely-to-miss-rest-of-elimination-round

IMO, if Kiefer would just leave his team, I think they should not let him play anymore as he is not fully dedicated and he will not give his best since he will save his energy to the B league, also, there's a big risk that he will be injured and his dream might be compromised.

Terrence Romeo on pace for comeback in Pampanga games

Seeing Romeo playing with a healthy SMB, makes me believe that they might win the championship this conference. They have a lot of scorers and they are good in defense as well, CJ Perez and Romeo if they will play with good chemistry, I think they can carry the SMB to the championship, of course with the help of JMF.

PBA will soon rise. Guys, it's pandemic so expect there's a scenario of being down but not actually down as they are still here and looking for every option to start.

It won't also be left by top companies who are in PBA for several decades. It's understandable that they are dealing in losses since it's pandemic. The downfall will be if there's no pandemic and they are still at the bottom. That's more of a serious problem since it's now about the lack of support from the community.

SMB is a superteam, there's no doubt they will win this conference despite they are not at the top of the standing. Magnolia and TNT seemed to have improve already, but once they are in the elimination round, they will be challenged and a team that has enough experience and pride will win and that is the SMB.

Not closing the book as even SMB has the upper and dominant roster compare to other teams, it's not the same as before that all their starters from the bench players are all solid and almost an All-Star to Superstar lineup.

CJ Perez is still adjusting to the SMB system as his role here is far from his usual role on his former team where all the time, he is the option for their offense. Maybe 2-3 seasons, CJ Perez might be the face of SMB if he won't be traded or stay healthy.

Indeed it's good news, but what would make it better if he will not be injured again and he will finish the conference playing like he usually does in the past. Terrence Romeo is one of my favorite PBA players due to his style and moves on the court, and he impressed the fans more when he joined the FIBA world and showed his talent despite his size, so I would always love to see him play again.

Terrence Romeo is an explosive player and with that style, there is no assurance that he won't be injured again because that is part of the risk unless if he decided to tone down a bit so his body won't be affected but I guess he won't do that because the line-up of SMB now is laden with guards and for you to get that playing minutes you must show that you deserve it.
