About the SMB vs Magnolia, I thought it was another blowout win by SMB but Magnolia did come back after a huge deficit, IIRC, that was 20 more or less, and now it's just a single digit lead for SMB in the 4th quarter. This game is very exciting.

Yes, they were able to come back in the game and even keep it as close to 1 point only, but as we have seen in the game, the 4th quarter was a difference maker as JMF got aggressive and their 3 point shooting worked perfectly. CJ and Chris Ross have made them paid in that area because they need to double JMF and that would result to a kick out pass.

Paul Lee actually had a great game here with 23 points but they probably miss the service of Jio Jalalon in the defensive end as he didn't play in this game.

Since labor day is approaching, the PBA is going to distribute free tickets to all of the hardworking laborers out there. They've just announced it. So, next week's ticket on May 1 is going to be free as long as you present valid ID and other proofs that you're an employee or laborer.
(https://www.facebook.com/OneSportsPHL/posts/pfbid0idKt5BjqWE6wF96p1NTtH2a7fBUvey5EH9F4UD8xZtYMBWkoCUyoWXZuo6M8D2o5l)

That's great initiative, it's also a way of marketing so people's interest will grow on the PBA league. Because whether they admit it or not, it's pretty obvious that people are not watching PBA anymore. With this free tickets promo, we will see if they'll be able to bring people in the arena and judge from their if that strategy is working.

It was already reported few weeks back and it's true, PBA did the right thing as they need more attendance to make the league fun to watch. Although I just watch on my TV but seeing the bench looked empty that doesn't like a lively league.

I also read that news before but people are not quite positive on that, it's just like they don't care and don't see it as a good news. I even read bad comments on that news and some say they'll just be wasting their time watching the league, the ticket is free but going their in the venue is still expensive especially if you aren't living near the arena.

Anyway, the first game was concluded, I lost my money because I bet on the wrong team, thinking that Meralco will loss and also got tempted with the odds of Phoenix, but they still loss, i got the ML by the way. I'm watching the 2nd game now, SMB vs Magnolia, looks like SMB is dominating again.

Phoenix vs TNT is currently playing, the team that beat the NLEX via domination is the underdog in this game. I had already put my bet on the Phoenix to win, the odds was very attractive and I'm happy with how it goes so far.

First quarter now and Phoenix is leading by 2, as long as it's a close game I feel like I have a chance to win, it's x2.81 by the way for those who have no idea.

That was the time when Bay Area Dragon was part of the league and with their match against Ginebra, they have filled the entire area. See, that hints that the fans are up for the competition and not with just a few of these teams that will always become the champions and have some unfair trades.

PBA is not dead yet, they just don't want it to be lovable by the fans. I think they need to invite more foreign teams to make it more exciting, the current teams that are playing now is just very predictable, there's no excitement anymore and they have to understand that.

They don't have to invite more teams IMHO. What they need to do is to have fair trades for all of the teams. Not that one team is just an actual farm team and then Ginebra, SMC or MVP teams will harvest that good player and will be traded to them.

Unfortunately, I think this team BAD was already disbanded

Yes, they're already disbanded but their coach helped team Strong Group when Dwight played there.

Quote from: mirakal on April 22, 2024, 09:25:06 AM

they could have come back again and make the PBA more exciting to watch. It's been awhile, does PBA have a plan of having a season like that?

They have budget constraints and I think that they are permanently disbanded. About that type of season, maybe it's on the works because they've seen a success out of it.

Yup, if they can invite more visiting teams who can provide competitions where fans will comes out and support their teams not just Ginebra but also other teams who are part of the league, right now, there's no interest that fans provide, aside from Ginebra other teams are not as hot like them, there's no support or only getting few fans which not enough to attract interest from other fans.

That entails money but if they really want to boost their income then they have to risk on that. PBA had done it once, I'm sure they can do it again. I'm not sure who's expense at that because they have to accommodate a whole team for a period of time until the conference is over. Now is the time to make more aggressive action in order to attract the fans as PBA seems already dying, if we look at the venue especially those games that are not out of town, we can only see few people watching the game.

They let the fans go after they allowed sister teams and their farm teams competes, I mean fans interest is no longer present as they knew the possible outcome, with super teams being created the balance is no longer available, independent team can reach up to semis but expect that only the super team will be facing in the finals,

Regarding to visiting teams to compete I don't have any idea either if who's expense will it be but PBA needs to be aggressive on it if they really want to bring some fans, real competition that will delight and excite potential returning fans to watch the league.

It's always been them and that's why some fans are happy to see if it's not Ginebra ending in the grand finals. Although, fan base wise, they've got a lot of it but even with their games, its' no longer the same that the whole venue is full. This time, it's not that full at all and fans have lost interest due to the topics like this. They don't want to see the same teams ending in the finals because it's sort of boring when we want all teams to be competitive.

Some maybe happy but majority of the fans are rooting for Ginebra, so this team are not in the finals, they'll not spend their money to watch the game live. Filling up the Philippine Arena would result to a bigger income for the PBA, they needed that considering how much they are paying on their teams that are full of star players, I'm talking about the teams own by a giant company.

Last time no Ginebra, so this time the league can't afford to not put Ginebra in the Finals, they should be here and will probably battle with SMB which has a very dominant game last night and still able to maintain their undefeate record.

That was the time when Bay Area Dragon was part of the league and with their match against Ginebra, they have filled the entire area. See, that hints that the fans are up for the competition and not with just a few of these teams that will always become the champions and have some unfair trades.

Yeah, i remember that time, it was one of the best seasons for the PBA as the fans are supporting our very own against a strong Bay Area Dragon. I even thought at the beginning that no teams could beat the visiting team but when Ginebra beat them in the regular season, that made me think that Brownlee is really special, and in fact it was Brownlee who took care of the business in the Finals and beat the Bay Area in game 7.

I'm hoping for that time to come again, of course not Bay Area anymore as this team is not already existing but there are other teams out there, they could get it and I'm sure people will be coming back to watch an exciting match. Also, they should not only limit to one team, they can invite more.

I agree, it doesn't happen a lot in the PBA. But if it's in the grand finals, you'd see a lot of them happen because sometimes we think that they're scripted.
Though, it's really how the game works for those teams that are part of the grand finals. Sometimes they stumble and sometimes it's a tie so, it's nothing new that we see these upsets only mostly in the finals.

There's no exciting finals to watch than the Ginebra being in the court. If you'll compare the NBA finals last time wih SMB vs Magnolia, it's not as popular as when Ginebra is in the Finals because they can fill the arena and even take the game to the biggest arena in our country just to accomodate the fans.

Phoenix surprised us today betting the NLEX by 35 points, the final score was 77-112 and they defended Bollick very well allowing him to only score by 11 points. This team really has some great talent on their line up, it's already in the All Filipino cup, no import and yet they are still having some kind of dominating game like this.

NLEX relied too much on their 3 point shooting, when they have a bad shooting night, this is what happened.

NLEX had 50 attempts and 11 of these went in, that's a very low precentage. And since their total attempts is 88, that means they focus so much on the 3 point area which is a very bad strategy.

They managed to limit Bollick and with that NLEX struggles the spark plug didn't work and they've got left behind losing with that huge deficits, seems that they don't have alternative plans when Phoenix anticipate where the offense will begin they just give everything to make sure that there's no spark that will lead to any rally till the end of the game, congrats to all those who bets for Phoenix!

Wow ,Magnolia continue their winning streak, they beat the Rain or shine tonight and the good news is Sanggalang is starting to show his star player performance. Their past game vs Phoenix when they also won, he scored 23 points and tonight he scored 25 points. I like when a big man of Magnolia is playing great basketball like this because they become more unpredictable. The defense is still their, so as long as the game is close, they have an advantage in the 4th quarter because of their hassle on the floor.

Winners today.

Phoenix and Magnolia. As to the current standing (https://pba.ph/standings), Magnolia is already at the top 3.

Ian is a well-known scorer even wayback in his college days, he can provide numbers when he's healthy and now that he's back in form and the rotation is now includes him, both Abueva and Sanggalang when they start fueling the team it will create spark and most probably they will bring decent competitions.

This team is playing like the Warriors, they forgot that the Phoenix Fuelmasters team are good with their defense, and they make them experience how good they are. 77 points only, that's too low for a team who have an explosive Bollick, but since he strugled, the whole team struggled too.
