Good news again.

'PBA bubble' now being eyed either in Cubao, Clark, or Laguna

Quote

THE PBA is now seriously considering creating a 'bubble' just to get its long-stalled 2020 season underway.

PBA chairman Ricky Vargas on Tuesday made the announcement during the Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) online Forum on the day teams resumed training for the first time since outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Vargas, who is board governor of TnT KaTropa, said the league is now looking at possible bubble sites like the Smart-Araneta Coliseum in Cubao in Quezon City, Clark in Pampanga, and the Inspire Sports Academy in Laguna.

Good news indeed. NBA bubble is a great success and the PBA could emulate that one, after all there only 12 teams in the PBA, not much to control unlike in the NBA where there are 20 teams involve. So, if this will push though on October and they will have games every day then i think the timeline for JMF to return would not be enough but still a good thing as this season would be open to everybody, championship wise.

- JMF is expected to come back at least December the earliest or early next year. SMB just needs to work their way up without Fajardo during the elimination.

I think you have a valid point here, since the season is delayed, JMF can now have time to recover from an injury. Also, if he can't play once the season open, I'm sure the SMB has the tools to at least reach in the elimination game, we might see an old scenario during the SMB vs Alaska game that JMF return in the finals or game 4 I guess and SMB rally to win the series.

Good news again.

This was dated last February 26, 2020.

Feb. 26 was a progress report. Results and tests are already done. Since it's almost 3 weeks after the injury, they now came to the point that JMF might not miss the entire season.

Unfortunately, I rely on the first report I have seen. The report I'm talking about is way back few days after JMF suffered the injury. The news was Feb. 5, 2 days after the incident, wherein on that date, they are not looking yet at the possibility for JMF not playing the whole season.

They used the word "indefinitely".

https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/02/05/20/pba-injured-fajardo-may-sit-out-all-filipino-cup-report

A season is composed of 3 conferences. PBA just started a single game on All-Filipino before the league suspends operation. I just don't know if they will restart the season after All-Filipino to make things fresh next year.

Quote from: bisdak40 on August 24, 2020, 06:28:18 AM

But last week i saw in my social media feed wherein Fajardo already started his rehab and if we give him 3-4 months of time for recovery, this would be enough for him to play in the play-offs if San Miguel could make it that far even without him.

Actually that's the point of my post. Because of the pandemic, it's now getting possible for him to make a comeback at PBA All-Filipino.

- October is expected for PBA to resume.
- JMF recovery is 4 months since the operation so assuming, it was now healed by June or July
- For the remaining months, more on strengthening and therapy
- As I also pointed out, one conference takes 3 months
- JMF is expected to come back at least December the earliest or early next year. SMB just needs to work their way up without Fajardo during the elimination.

...but if he will not play when PBA resume, that would be nice to see since all Filipino cut won't be dominated by the SMB.

The pandemic period gives a chance for injured players to come back healthy.

As per the report, before the PBA suspends the season, Fajardo will be out for only the whole conference and not a season. The usual is 2-3 months if I'm not mistaken for a conference to run. This month, PBA supposed to be on the Playoffs to Finals of Commissioners Cup. Given that period, Fajardo is now capable to play and might come back on the PBA resume.

If only there's no pandemic, we should witness by now how the All-Filipino turned out without Fajardo's domination.

I'm interested to know the report you are talking, because when i check some information online, it tells that he is out for the entire PBA season.

San Miguel expects June Mar Fajardo to miss entire PBA season

This was dated last February 26, 2020.

I also saw an interview on Alfrancis Chua and he said that the management will give Fajardo the whole season as a break and they won't force him to play any game next season as if he want to see how they would fare without Fajardo.

But last week i saw in my social media feed wherein Fajardo already started his rehab and if we give him 3-4 months of time for recovery, this would be enough for him to play in the play-offs if San Miguel could make it that far even without him.

Well, that was unexpected but it was a great news, Fajardo coming back in the PBA, that would make PBA more fun to watch. If the management allowed him to return, we can assure that he is fully recovered, besides, those previous news we read says only the estimate of when he will be back, and maybe he is recovering so fast that's why the rehab started earlier than expected.

For the injury he got and with the current situation I think this is a best choice for them to let Fajardo rest since they might get in trouble again on next season if Fajardo will collapsed in the middle of the game.

Once he is in full shape and healthy on next season for sure SMB will be more dangerous opponent.

Although for sure the fans would love to see him in playoffs but I really think he need to rest to make sure he's fully useful in the court once he came back.

Hopefully he will change,but one thing is more certain now is that he could return anytime soon according to the news.
As long as he is still a beast in every game and he can help his team, that would be very helpful for Phoenix who struggle when Calvin was suspended.

No question about calvin abueva's monster strength and ilhe has prove it already when he play with team gilas pilipinas on qualifying fiba tournament and other pro league.

If the decision to lift Calvin Abueva's suspension to play in games then i agree that Phoenix can have a good support with Abueva especially in the rebounds and scoring too with his monstrous strength inside the ring.

I'm confident that even if he was not playing for more than a year, I believe he can still contribute to the team and provide good energy.
Whatever team Abueva is playing will become better, especially if he will be discipline once he return, that would be good for him and for the team.

Quote

However, other teams like SMB are also strong where Junemar is one of the leading players in that team. PBA games are getting into unpredictable game results will be same.as with the NBA game.

That's given as they have won many championships and Fajardo is the best player in the PBA now, but if he will not play when PBA resume, that would be nice to see since all Filipino cut won't be dominated by the SMB.

Calvin Abueva completes all requirements, now awaits PBA decision

Other than that, he also mentioned something good:

Quote

“Ang laki ng pagbabago sa mga nangyari sa akin sa past year na dumaan. Naging malinaw sa pagiisip ko kung ano dapat ang temper, dapat attitude sa mga tao,” said Abueva.

Looks like we won't be seeing an old Calvin in the resume, but perhaps a new one now if the PBA Commissioner decision lifted his suspension.

That's good. His behaviour should be changed. He will likely be thrown completely in the league if he will behave like a kid again. I will assume the requirements given to him is more of community service and involving in the charity activities. And since pandemic hit the country, lots of works for him to be involved.

And just recently, he teamed up with volleyball star Michelle Gumabao to provide aid for the frontliners.

Yes, and it's been open already, but we are awaiting for the PBA to resume, and the recent good news makes the fans optimistic we will see the season resumption soon.

Quote

NOW the ball is in the hands of the PBA Commissioner’s Office.

Calvin Abueva disclosed he has already completed all the tasks required of him by Commissioner Willie Marcial before the indefinite suspension meted on him by the pro league 14 months ago can be lifted.

The eccentric forward of Phoenix is now awaiting the verdict of PBA chief Willie Marcial on whether he will finally be reinstated or remain in limbo if and when the league formally gets to restart its mothballed season.

This sounds very positive, looks like Calvin will be back if the season will resume soon.

Let's expect more positive news in the coming months, PBA would not resume their practice if they are not aiming to resume the PBA season. They are still in the process now of ensuring that all players who will attend the practice are covid-19 free, so this time we can expect that slowly we are going at the right path and progress will be good for us and for the PBA.

Yes, let us be positive anyway the government now slowly lifting the economy back to normal like cebu which has higher case of covid now declared by the IATF to proceed in GCQ. The NCR has conducted MECQ where only some part of it where being lockdown for a short days coming but still will have the plan to appeal and consider to declare GCQ in their area. The cases now too getting low by probably doing the lesser tests like only to those who shows symptoms with covid19 unlike before that even when one gets into contact the medical will conduct directly a swab test. So, I guess this is it with covid or not economy will be open to the public little by little.

That's what the authorities are actually recommending, at least safe for the players and we can just enjoy watching at home as long as it's live in TV.
Our problem is not as serious as in the USA, but it's better to be careful so having their own bubble is highly recommended.

They should start soon as we all missed the PBA.

Agree. Actually even with the big daily increase in the confirmed cases everyday, we can say we are still truly kicking compare to other countries.

Making own bubble shouldn't be a hard task for PBA.

Maybe they will get a small venue since they cannot accommodate the live audience for now and those big arenas.

Better if they used the venues on province since they can assure that the case of covid-19 is lessen compare to metro manila as well they can continue the game without worrying about getting back again on mecq status since if that happens for sur series will paused again.

Mindanao has lower case of covid19 I guess as this area is not yet that develop and not crowded yet. Besides, Mindanao has strict imolementing on rules to LSI complaince to quarantine in their facility and rapid test as well while in the quarntine area to make sure covid will not going to penetrate in provinces of Mindanao. However, there are other choices also like in the region 6 & 8 the visayas region there are good places to go with and small venue that could cater all the players and organizers in this event.

Local Government Unit of most provinces in the country is strict. As much as possible they don't want to entertain or allow people from other areas. That might be a problem that PBA will face if they will choose to create the bubble outside Metro Manila. Even if the LGU will approve it, citizens themselves might disagree with the idea. But I trust PBA, they just need to show their terms so that people outside Manila will understand that there's nothing as big risk if they will choose to play there.

Other popular venues that PBA used are Philsports (Ultra) and Ynares but since these arenas are in Pasig, and we know that the Mayor here is actively doing good in response against Covid-19, these venues are also currently in use now.

I'm expecting they will release on the public their preparation plan for next month including what kind of setup they will do.

2 months preparation is enough for all of this including regular testing (actually some teams are now doing this).

I'm wondering where should be the supposed venue or their options. If I'm not mistaken Smart Araneta and MOA Arena have been a busy location for Covid-19 related response although I don't know if there's still activities there related to that. But I think not a problem since there will be no live audience, they can even play in a much smaller arena compare to these 2 big giants. I hope they will create their own bubble and not after the game, all staff and players will be allowed to go home just like normal.
