They have a strong and competitive core now, with Balti and Heading they added firepower players who can add decent numbers both defense and offense they just need to blend and established that good chemistry alongside with each other , like you mentioned Heading is a good outside shooter with Stockton attacking the basket he can now drop it to heading or with Balti which is a good inside big man, though too early for assuming we need to see them playing together to see if they'll be able to create a much better competitive squad.

Wow, great news for Converge acquiring Jordan Heading! This kid will definitely boost their lineup. They almost beat San Miguel in the quarterfinals but lacked the firepower. With Balti and Heading now on their roster, they are sure to be one of the teams to beat in the upcoming Commissioner’s Cup and All-Filipino Cup.

BTW, does anyone knows when the PBA will resume?

Good news for Converge… we all know this player is talented, and we often see him playing for Gilas. So if he’s already have a PBA team then good but I haven't seen him played yet...Well, if this would happen, it will make converge stronger as they are a very competitive team.

Converge acquires Heading from Terrafirma in exchange for 2 players, draft pick

Quote

COACHES Franco Atienza, Charles Tiu and Rajko Toroman know well that Jordan Heading would be a vital piece for Converge.

And so, Converge acquired Heading from Terrafirma by trading guard Aljun Melecio, Keith Zaldivar and its first round pick in Season 51 to the Dyip.

Heading was selected first by Terrafirma in Season 47 Gilas Special Draft but never played for the Dyip. Instead, the Fil-Aussie, known for his outside shooting, took his talent overseas with stints in Japan, Taiwan and Australia.

The acquisition of Heading and the impending arrival of No. 1 rookie pick Justine Baltazar, who is set to join Converge at the end of Pampanga's campaign in the MPBL should add depth to the FiberXers, who made the playoffs of the recently concluded Governors' Cup.

The former Gilas Pilipinas pool member had his last overseas stint with the West Adelaide Bearcats in the NBL1 last season where he averaged 15.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.8 assists.

Like you, that's also puzzle me as he got that skills and talents and being part of the gilas where he added decent stats but instead of keeping him TNT trade him up, not sure if there's a problem behind or there's something about the money which the most usual issue with players who played for TNT, maybe or maybe the management see him not that long term talent that's why they traded him.

I think he was a bit injured at that time, and then TNT decided to trade him. Troy’s a good player, he even stood out as one of the best in some games when he was still with TNT. But we don’t really know what happened behind the scenes; there are always a lot of factors a team considers when they decide to keep or let go of a player.

Quote from: Fredomago on November 12, 2024, 06:14:01 AM

Not a 100% sure but I guess he's more fit playing for Magnolia than taking his chance playing for either SMB or Ginebra, just saying as I like him taking more time playing than being bench and lost his confidence just like what happened to those trades for these two super teams.

So no team has signed Troy yet, huh? I read a rumor before that Ginebra was interested, but until it’s official, we can’t say for sure.

This is what happened before..

PBA: Troy Rosario not surprised by trade to Blackwater

Quote

Disappointed, but not surprised. This was Troy Rosario's reaction to being part of a three-team trade that ended his seven-year stint with the TNT Tropang GIGA.

Rosario and sharpshooter Gab Banal were sent by TNT to Blackwater in exchange for Calvin Oftana and Raul Soyud, who had been earlier acquired by the Bossing in a separate deal with the NLEX Road Warriors.

Pointing this one for Troy which direction he might choose MVP again or SMC now? still no update but he already giving hints that he's now moving to his new team, I guess we will just need to wait for his final update if where he will play this upcoming season.

Troy Rosario’s journey in the PBA is both interesting and exciting for me. I’m not sure why TNT released him, as he was a crucial player for their championship campaign. With MVP already having released him to other teams, I think the next team to pursue his services might be an SMC team, specifically San Miguel.

Castro is the finals MVP. Well deserved although many of us thought that it's going to be Calvin Oftana.

Yeah right, it was concluded and congrats Ka-tropang giga for winning the title, they deserve the win as they played so well it's really a team effort though with the good leadership of RHJ and Castro together with all those players who has been given the chance to play and share whatever they can to adds up for this win.

Gin kings unable to force the game to a do or die as TNT response to their system and manage out run then especially in the final quarter.

Yeah, well done for both teams. I am sure that the TNT Tropang Giga boys have got a nice decent cash incentives for winning this conference's title.
Now, waiting for the upcoming change of roster and acquisition of the players that are free agents as of the moment.

but Pogoy’s three-pointers in the 4th quarter were definitely game-changers. And here's the thing, TNT had a great start in the 4th, going on an 8-0 run that evened things up at 74-74, forcing Ginebra to call a timeout. TNT's defense was also solid in the 4th, and it felt like Abbarientos ran out of luck, which left Ginebra short.

Yeah noticed it, maybe its because during the after party I heard that its their wedding anniversart plus his wife is pregnant now their champion its like a blessings for him to win this championship and bonus for his personal affair. The threes are solid from him but the games final mvp belongs to Castro which is truly an OG on pba league. At his age, he still able to grab a title award.

Pugoy's sealing the game after hitting that 3', gin kings unable to bounce back after JBL missed his shot, it's good to hear that there's special occations that brings boost for Pugoy but same with you, JC at his age shows something huge, a pride coming inside him showing RJ that he's still exist and still capable to play his usual game.

Oh, so Pogoy’s got another baby on the way! I saw him holding a kid during the pictorial, so that’s their second...
Back-to-back champs and now back-to-back babies too, talk about luck! But he really delivered when it counted, hitting three 3-pointers in the 4th quarter. Those were daggers that Ginebra just couldn’t recover from.

I'm glad that I didn't go all in on Brgy. Ginebra yesterday, because I am really hoping there will be a do-or-die game.
The Win of TNT yesterday was really unexpected even though the odds in all of their matches were in favor of Brgy. Ginebra.
Well, let's move forward. Any idea guys when the regular season will start again?

See you next conference, kabayan! For sure, Brownlee and RHJ will still be there, but hopefully, Ginebra will be in better shape health-wise.

I might be a bit biased, but I think Ginebra will likely win tonight. Still, I don’t want them to win Game 6, as that would put TNT in a tough spot for Game 7. Good call betting early as you got that spread before it moved to -3.5. I have a feeling it’ll rise even more as the game gets closer. Everyone’s thinking about Game 7 now, and I’m not sure if TNT can beat the majority backing Ginebra.

I think they didnt cook it this time. TNT finished the ge 6 already and won the finals. Too bad for Ginebra wasnt able to do a game 7 series for this match. But its no shame imo, since the TNT players is quite competitive and all in good shape.

They dont rattle out and still keeps shooting thumbs to the players such as Castro, The import and oftana true shooters.

TNT just has a bunch of players ready to step up. Sure, Castro and RJH did a lot to secure this win, but Pogoy’s three-pointers in the 4th quarter were definitely game-changers. And here's the thing, TNT had a great start in the 4th, going on an 8-0 run that evened things up at 74-74, forcing Ginebra to call a timeout.

Congrats to us, lol. I’ll just update our local tomorrow, maybe.

Expect a huge crowd tomorrow - it's do or die for Ginebra, so support will be at 100%. If it goes to Game 7, they might even move it to the Philippine Arena to fit all the Ginebra fans. And history shows Ginebra usually wins in Game 7. So, I think TNT's real chance is to finish it in Game 6.

It’s Friday, and with most people having no work or classes on Saturday, we can expect a massive crowd supporting the Barangay Ginebra Kings. If the series goes to Game 7, Ginebra is likely to take the crown. Therefore, TNT will try to finish off the Kings in Game 6. However, my bet is still on the Kings, hoping they will extend the series.

My bet: Ginebra -2.5 @1.92.

Bai, I'm coming with you but I will do Brgy. Ginebra -4.5 @ 1.57
I wasn't able to achieve -2.5 @1.92, jeez, that's awesome odds! The game will start in 30 minutes from now. Maybe I was already late of the good odds. Well, maybe it will change once the game starts and I can bet more. I will watch this game tonight!

End of the first quarter and things were not looking good for the Gin Kings. But we still have three quarters to go, let us see if Barangay Ginebra could turn around the tide.

edit: end of the first half and Ginebra managed to grab the lead by a point behind the heroics of RJ Abarrientos.

The trend continues as TNT won Game 5 by 27 points. If Ginebra ties it up tomorrow, they’ll probably win by double digits, or maybe we’ll see a total flip of Game 5 in Game 6. Bettors who backed the team to win by more than 11 points likely made good profits, with odds around 4x or more.

They will make a history again and break this..

This was against the BAD.

Nice observation, as if the trend continues and gin kings managed to tied the series there's a big chance that handicapped backers will win much decent amount, though game 6 might be different as TNT will push everything to win the game and complete the series while on the other side gin kings needs to counter that and win to force for a do or die game.

Audience wise, it will be beneficial for the league as fans may love to witness the final game and see who's going to win.
