So after TNT got dominated the other day, now it's Magnolia who loss to the NLEX RoadWarriors in again another dominating game. Bollick still continue to remain consistent but it was Semerad who was the best player in the game who contributed 22 points.
This is looking very unpredictable now, and I'm seeing this NLEX team to be the dark horse in the playoffs. Now they are the only team who reach 5 wins, although not at the top yet since SMB own the top spot with 4-0 standing.

It's all because of Bollick, he had a better version of team now, if he didn't come back in the Philippines, NLEX would have the same struggle they have in the previous season. I like that they are so comfortable with their respective rules now, they played great defense and they don't hesitate to shoot, good thing they have Bollick who can attack and destroy the defense of their opponents. Attack, pass to the open man and shoot without hesitation, that hasn't been their play, and it's been working. For the NLEX to lose, Bollick should be limited, but thus far, no team has even done that as they are already in a winning streak.
This is his best season so far, hopefully he'll stay with NLEX as it would be disappointing to the fans if he'll sign with the Giant teams. I mean, we are hoping to see more balance in the current PBA league, so if they'll take Bollick out, that will make NLEX a bad team, like a farm team, we don't want to see that happen. However, if a trade is really inevitable, most likely Bollick will be traded to TNT which I think will make TNT a championship team again.
That cannot be assured as TNT are trying to get back to the championship level again. As a fan, I would love to see MP vs Cojuangco team facing in the Finals, that way it looks more legit as they would not agree to manipulate the outcome unlike with teams that are sister teams. It's not proven but speculations do exist and sometimes it looks convincing so personally it cast doubt to my mind already.
Bollick has only played less than a year since his return to the PBA, so maybe more time before he will leave NLEX, but as for now, we are enjoying what we are seeing because this is quite unusual for a team that aren't a championship caliber.
In terms of competition I would also like to see Bollick playing with TNT as the chance of entering the finals and competing against SMC corp will be more interesting, same with your opinion with sister companies competing in the finals, we can't remove the fact that viewers will have that assumption that the game might be manipulated.
Not good for the bettors I guess if both sister teams are competing for the finals, I see Bollick can bring decent numbers to help Poguy and Oftana, his possible addition might give them decent chance to reach the finals.
It's good for the TNT and they should make him the leader of the team so he can play whatever he wants. And since their coach is Chot Reyes, the style of Bollick could fit to the team since Bollick could score on his own, could penetrate and just do amazing things to disrupt the defense of the opposing team.We already talk it here, so we will not be suprise if our speculation will happen in the future as we know how PBA works, the big bosses gets what they want and TNT is one of them.
