. Anyway, this is still related to PBA and with some updates from the SBP about our national team Gilas, there is going to be a new official coach. Who's your guess, will it be Tim Cone, CTB, Norman Black, Ayo, who else?

New coach? Why? This is insane, Tim Cone coach our national team and brought us gold, why can't they make him as our regular coach? I say, there's no other coach that could deliver success to our country with our national team, it's only Tim Cone and not on the choices of coaches you mentioned. This is an international game, we saw how Tim Cone did beating China and RHJ's team in the Finals.
Tim Cone was just temporary by that time when he's in for the Asiad. I think that by this time, there's already a coach and they just have to announce it but I don't know when they're going to announce it. IMO, Tim Cone was actually good and he's got a different spirit than of Chot who keeps on gathering learning experiences.

If they were able to retain coach Reyes that is full of criticism, why would they replace a coach (Tim Cone) that is full of praise for the success he brought?
They have given him the chance but Chot didn't deliver well and didn't listen to the fans. Whilst this time, one factor that the SBP rep said is that the next coach that the Gilas will have is the one who listens to the fans and everything for the sake and good of the team and country.

I don't understand anymore if this news you brought up is true.

This is the news that is related to that. SBP to name permanent Gilas coach, new pool of players 'very soon'

Quote
Whether it’s Tim Cone, Norman Black, Tab Baldwin or somebody else, the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) bared that it will make the announcement on the appointment of a permanent Gilas coach 'very soon.'

They didn't say it's a new coach, but they will be naming the permanent coach of the team, which obviously we already know it's Tim Cone. They just want to make it formal I guess, but if in case Tim Cone is not selected, that closest one that is deserving to coach our national team IMO is Tab Baldwin.

The PBA needs some boost with the fans going to the crowd and watching the games live again. This is for sure going to boost players confidence as well that many former NBA players that were top notch and legends want to play for the league. Converge can sign him but the thing is if the bosses are going to modify the height limit. Blatch expressed his frustration with that rule, we just want to see another team go in the finals and not always the San Mig, Ginebra, TNT finals. They have the money and that's really going to help the league itself and attract more people to be fans again.
Yes, and knowing pinoy fans they always love to see competition and not just known teams that will continue to dominate the league,  I mean not just SMC and MVP that always facing the finals, with former NBA stars who can really helps in improving the team that they'll going to play, that's really something that will bring big boost for the league, just a matter of time when  commissioner will announce their stand in this proposals.

Still the league of governors decision to make and how they will create rules regarding to this matter. Hoping for the best for PBA!
They can take the example of how did Dwight Howard brought a lot of active fans on the ring for the first time he'd played in Taiwan. It was jampacked, fully packed with fans and can we imagine how it is going to be if the first ever match of him will be on the Araneta, Cuneta(it's small), MOA arena or even in the Philippine Arena. I am sure that a lot of fans all over from the Philippines are going to buy that ticket and will cheer for that team. Anyway, this is still related to PBA and with some updates from the SBP about our national team Gilas, there is going to be a new official coach. Who's your guess, will it be Tim Cone, CTB, Norman Black, Ayo, who else?

For sure if Converge will able to sign him and win a title that's going to be a good hype for PBA, while we are waiting for possibility and how PBA will adjust to this kind of call from the fans, allowing it will give some competition in a short time since knowing both SMC and MVP's capabilities in easily and quickly adjusting to hire imports who got that same quality as Howard, and if ever that things really happened pretty sure Howard will have another excuse if he failed to win another title..

I don't think it will happen, Converge maybe a rich team but their action releasing their high paid players does not make sense at all. If they can't afford to play our locals, how can they afford to get an import as good as Howard, I think the latter is a bit pricey as an import.

IMO, if he gets a chance to play in the PBA, he'll likely land only to either SMB or MVP team.

It could be a significant investment for the team that would sign him, but overall, it will be a big help for the league to boost its popularity, which I think they badly needed it since things aren't going the way they are expecting anymore.

There really is no problem with money for most of the teams but I think that it's going to be harder if the team that's rumored to take these NBA superstars are teams like Converge. They're not an MVP and SMC team and that's why these PBA management and superior governors/commissioners will have to consider if they'll allow some changes and adjustments for them to gather back the interest of the PBA filipino fans. Dwight is vocal on it and willing to commit to the league and I think that any team will offer him some contract, they can avail him. That's a big help to the league itself and for our country too to attract more NBA superstars that are no longer playing there.

Dwight Howard has expressed his interest on joining PBA any time soon as long as the height limit will be modified that allows him to eligible to play. This is actually a good opportunity for the PBA to take the fans interest back and will surely watch the games not just online but live. He also said that Andray is also interested to play on any team. I'm sure that the commissioner and all of the big bosses are considering this. In no doubt that the Converge management has said that it's possible that they may take Dwight on their wing as they're connected to the Strong Group. But I don't think that the PBA management will make it easy as Al is more powerful than them but I hope that this actually happens.
It's not going to be a problem for SMC and MVP they've got the money,  and if they see another opportunity if bringing nba stars may bring more ticket attendance then why not,  they can also pay decent star to play for them, it's not going to be tough 😉  though I think it will be a difficult decision for the league of governors and commissioner, there's always pressure behind but it would be wonderful and enjoyable if pba will consider this.

I think most of us losses tonight.

Both heavy underdog losses but cover the handicap. The first game, I thought SMB will get the spread covered since they are in control at the first half, but I could not believe that Blackwater came back and at some point make it even a close game, it's just weird, maybe because I'm a bit bias. LOL

That's another loss for me  Sad as i thought that SMB would pierce through the guts of Blackwater's defense especially since their main man is back but I was wrong.

Will change the strategy for today's game and just follow the trend of the underdogs not winning but the favorites won't cover the spread.

NLEX +7.5 @1.86 vs Ginebra

While on the 2nd game, I took a chance to bet on Meralco thinking this time around it will be the heavy favorite that will dominate the entire game. unfortunately, things doesn't went as expected, DYIP were competitive early and they even took the lead, it's just only in the 4th quarter where Meralco able to find their shots, and although they won the game, but they still fall short. just a bad night for me as I took a -14.5 spread on the last minute, thinking it's a sure win!, LOL>> Sure win?

We have two games tonight, top tiers team against low tiers team. Junemar Fajardo is expected to suit up for the Beermen tonight so i think the Beermen will cruise past the Blackwater Bossings easily.

SMB Beermen -12.5 @1.84 vs Blackwater

Oops, I missed it. Juding by the score now, it seems like it's a close game as Blackwater is currently leading, but it's still too early though, for sure the 2nd half woould be a different story.

Not for long, because as the first half as ended, SMB already took a 12 points lead. This bet of bisdak40 looks a sure win already. SMB just need to win by 1 point on the 2nd half which they can for sure,  so hold strong their bro, you sure gonna get this win on the first game today.

By the way, JMF is back, however he scored only 3 points. Maybe he is not 100% yet. Their top scorer now is their import with 26 points, I think he'll get another 50 point game after this game.

And we are back to a close game, with less than 6 minutes left, SMB is only up by 1 point. This is insane, we thought this game is over and SMB would already win by a huge margin, but look what is happening now, did PBA do some magic again?

Second game is important for NLEX as they had a chance to be in the quarters so that -4.5 spread @1.99 is attractive AFAIC because this is a must win game for them against the already eliminated Converge.

Tough luck mate. NLEX won but short by 1 point to give you that win.  They did play well though but converge are just not giving up although it's already a non bearing game for them AFAIK. Sometime, there are games like this that you get thrilled watching but in the end will break your heart.

Yeah, unfortunate on this one as NLEX didn't cover the spread, my bad if only I'm not greedy and picked that -3.5 @1.84 odds, my bet could have won but it is what it is and this kind of scenario happens very often.
If we can only see the outcome then we would do that. What you did was just right, NLEX were on the position to cover the spread but they just fall short. It's part of the game, sometimes things does not work our way.

Howard hyping pinoy fans is really creating a noise in social media so it will be great for those big companies to ride with it since for sure this will convert to more ticket sells and help to gain back the interest of pinoy crowd.
Let see what happen next to this since for sure they are monitoring how Howard perform on strong group Philippines.

If a PBA team will sign Howard, I would say it was a bold move. That will make the NBA interesting and will help this declining league to rise up to the competition again. I think games are more fan with imports, and hopefully they'll start eliminating farm teams, because as long as farm teams will stay, they will remain the reason why games aren't as competitive as before they existed.

We can really see that on social media presence of Howard since he really create a big hype when he signed on Strong Group and to many people got hype by this news. Also Howard is open to play on PBA which another huge factor and I think PBA can get the benefits to be viewed more if they can successfully sign him on any team there. Once Dubai league will be done maybe we can see this to happen and I also guess that team owners are also looking forward for him since thus us huge revenue in the making if they can sign Howard to their team.

But don't hope they eliminate farm teams for now since if they didn't change the current commissioner nothing will happen to that issue.

Interesting as might it be but I disagree that it will help PBA be more interesting if Howard is signed by top PBA companies.

If any team aside from these big teams at PBA can afford to sign Howard, that's a great move but if he will be signed by SMC teams or the MVP team, the league will not be interesting anymore as it will be one-sided. The league is already one-sided and by adding Howard to the roster of these big companies, it's like the PBA will now be just more of entertainment than competition. Howard, even at veteran age, can still pulverize most PBA teams even with a caliber import.

I'm more interested in the idea of adding a foreign team again. There is no update about this.

It's not going to be a problem for SMC and MVP they've got the money,  and if they see another opportunity if bringing nba stars may bring more ticket attendance then why not,  they can also pay decent star to play for them, it's not going to be tough 😉  though I think it will be a difficult decision for the league of governors and commissioner, there's always pressure behind but it would be wonderful and enjoyable if pba will consider this.

For sure it will happen if they really push to make this things happen and I guess they are planning to do that since they need a huge boast of interest from PBA fans again and Howard is a great piece for them to have that. They should also explore on other more option like getting more popular ex NBA player since for that fans would love to see that great development happening in the league.

Yes, Howard knew how good Pinoy fans as we already shown that with JC and now look how great JC after he showcase his talent during those FIBA days, he really get the heart of pinoy fans and that's what Howard is also trying to create, bringing the connection gaining that love, if he will succeed in this strong league and fans will keep calling him and bringing him isnide social media it can create pressure for PBA to listen to what fans will love to see.

We might see more NBA stars and not just those who play for a single season and be forgotten but stars like Howard who manage to create a name during his prime.
