Goods news for all the SMB and Junemar Fajardo fans here because as per article, he is back on practice this early. I thought that his injury is not yet fully healed that they estimated his comeback during the opening of the games next month.

Nevertheless, it so nice to see him back on the court and take back the all Filipino crown from Ginebra.

It's good news indeed, JMF vs Greg vs C. Stand, we will see a good PBA season when these 3 bigs are healthy. Maybe SMB really think Ginebra is a huge threat, they lose last season, not even in the Finals, so surely they want to bounce back and take that trophy again.

My question, do you think JMF would still win the MVP this season?

Because he understands that players are looking for better opportunities, and he understands how SMB and Pangilinan control the PBA.  He is a very vocal coach and I think he likes Jericho a lot and believes in him so he gives him an opportunity to showcase his talent abroad. With that being said, he also understands what his team can do only and it's not as good as the SMB teams.
Yes, that's why many admire Coach Yeng Guiao for the way he handles things and his players. But later on once Jericho is done with playing for Guam, he's good and can easily come back to the team. That's why in the position of Jericho, Yeng understands that the guy has multiple opportunities and he doesn't want to be the obstacle for the guy to take as many opportunities as he can. Not just a coach to coach a team but also like a father to most of the players that he's coaching.
Jericho Cruz deserves to be given more opportunity to play and to be in a better team, it's just so pity that he played with a struggling NLEX team, this team hs not been in the Finals or even semi Finals when coach Yeng assume it, it's very different during coach Yeng time with ROS or prior to that where he has more success.

If given  good opportunities and let him play with well dominating team inside this league, he have lots of skills to showcase, sad thing that NLEX is not that type of team right now.

We've seen their performance from the last bubble, they don't have the right pieces for their campaign, more on offensive guards but lack with big men who can play inside and compete with those big man around the league.

Let see if what coach Yeng have this season, like what you have said it's no longer the same level from what he have before.

He had his team with the TNT, and I really liked his position with the team but sadly he was traded If I'm not mistaken. His first team which is the Rain or  Shine, that's where he really shines, I guess his problem was him being easily injured that's why the team traded him, that was the first time he was traded.

It was a long ago, I can't remember all the teams he played but one thing I will never forget is that this guy knows how to ball.

That's a trivia thanks. That's why I think Yeng Guiao has given a good signal.

Jericho Cruz already played for Guam last year so it's not really that Yeng Guiao gives him a signal but that was necessary.

Guam's next qualifying game will be next month against Hong Kong and since the PBA restart doesn't finalize yet, there will be no problem if Cruz will play overseas in the meantime. If only the earlier FIBA scheduled was followed, on which Guam will face Hong Kong last February instead, there will be no conflict for Cruz schedule if PBA will restart next month.

There's no final schedule yet but PBA teams are now starting their training, so it's most likely that PBA will start next month. Well, Cruz could have a different training as he is playing with the Guam team and if he will come back during the PBA season, he is still fit anyway.

Coach Yeng would not make a decision that would result in the team struggling next season.

Does Jericho Cruz have a fan here guys? He's got a go signal from Yeng Guiao that he's okay to fly to Guam and play for the national team for the Fiba Asia Qualifiers. Although we know that the national team of Guam isn't that strong but at least they're sourcing a player from our country to play for their national team which is really a thing to be proud of.
(https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/jericho-cruz-could-miss-pba-games-for-nlex-due-to-guam-commitment-a795-20210517)

I'm a big fan of this guy, so you are saying that he is an import of the team? I think he is a full-blooded Filipino so he would not be there to represent the county, maybe they plan to make him a naturalized player?

Jericho Cruz is a full-bloodied Filipino but he has three nationality which is Filipino, Guamanian and Northern Mariana Islander. This only means that he can play on these three countries wherever his services is needed. He did not play in the Philippines as we have a lot of guards in our country while in Guam, his talent is much needed there as they lack players as basketball is not popular in Guam.

He is not an import or a naturalized player but played as a local.

That's a trivia thanks. That's why I think Yeng Guiao has given a good signal. At least if there are opportunities like this, he's not that too selfish not to give that to his players. I'm sure that he's going to put his best to put up the team of Guam but for us, we'll always stay to our national team and the support that's needed to be given. But whenever our kababayan is playing on any other national team, we're also supporting them but it becomes least priority.  Tongue

Thanks for this heads up, I don't have any idea about his nationalities but I also love him playing,
he's athleticism brings boost to his team each time he played inside the court.

Even though he's going to play for Guam national team it's still nice to know that PBA fans will able to see him bringing
the type of the game that he learned from our country.

Hope to see him bringing the same level of game the way he play it when he's playing with his NLEX family. Good Luck J. Cruz!

Like all of us here, I'm also excited to watch PBA. On the other hand though, SMC teams got stronger but did MVP teams got stronger too and can they compete with the SMC teams with their current rosters?? Hmmm.

With the arrival of coach Chot Reyes, TNT for sure will improved this coming season and i think this gonna be the start of rebuilding on this team. Whatever the shortcomings after the season i think they will focus on that one to improve.

On the other hand, SMC teams, specifically the Ginebra Kings will not be the automatic champion with the arrival of CStand. Remember when he was drafted by SMB, all of us thought that other teams were only competing for the second place as majority of us think that SMB is the automatic champion as the Fajardo-Standhardinger tandem is so strong on paper but it did not convert on the court.
When Coach Chot is on the TNT back in the years, the team is just simply unstoppable. I like how he is coaching his players both in TNT and in Gilas when he is still a coach so overall, we can say that TNT had some improvements too with their coach. I just hope that Williams can fulfill what Ray Parks left in the team.

With Ginebra getting CStand, they hype towards them increased and many speculated immediately that they will be winning the championship this season (including me at first but not now). The ball is round. If you are speculating this early that they will win the championship, just remember the Kobe-Nash-Dwight trio in Lakers or the Russ-PG-Melo in Thunder. They didn't worked that good. Tt might happen too with Ginebra but on the other hand, they have a good and experienced coach too in Coach Tim Cone. Lets just wait for the season to start and lets enjoy every game Smiley

Right, I believe he is the best coach of the TNT from the time I start watching PBA and the time he retires.

His record speaks of itself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chot_Reyes
Quote
8× PBA champion (1993 All-Filipino, 1994 Commissioner's, 2002 All-Filipino, 2003 Reinforced, 2009 Philippine, 2011 Philippine, 2011 Commissioner's, 2012 Philippine)
5× PBA Coach of the Year (1993, 2002, 2003, 2009, 2011)
7× PBA All-Star Game Head Coach (1994, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018)

5x coach of the year, that's big, I don't know if its all TNT but winning that award is a huge achievement as a coach.

When PBA started in a bubble last year, new cases are playing only around 1,000 - 2,000 per day.

Right now, there's an improvement as from around 8,000 - 9,000 daily cases during the return of Manila to ECQ and MECQ, daily cases are now playing at 4,000-5,000. But that was because of the recent quarantine status and today that people are now comfortable again, it's expected that the cases will be higher again than usual after a week or two.

We just hope that there's no Part 3 as it will have an effect again on the PBA timeline.

They have already announced that PBA will start by June this year, some teams are already starting their training, that's already an obvious sign that PBA will start soon.  Be optimistic guys, the situation is not bad now, we are back in GCQ and we will certainly see the PBA soon.

Remember that this season is going to be exciting, there's a lot of movement prior to this season and I'm sure you are excited to see which teams are successful with their decision.
Yeah right. The situation is becoming good today. I hope that there won't be another surge so that all of the appointments and scheduled dates will be followed. All the efforts that have been made by our government and front liners are already showing the results of it.
PBA is about to be back and there have been commitments already and hopefully, by the month of June, we're going to be back in a better quarantine classification which is going to be MGCQ. And just like in NBA, things have been good for the court sides and audiences/fans that want to see live action but if it's a bubble setup, then that's also fine as long they're back. I'm just excited to express that there will be for sure fans that want to get on the court and watch the games live for we have to wait until the time comes again.

I hope Chot Reyes will be successful in coaching the team on his return, it's the new players that he will be dealing with, not totally new because they have some veterans playing for the team but hopefully the team also will be able to adjust as for sure, under a new coach, another style will also be introduce.
