Asian Games basketball gold to stay in PH, POC chief says

https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/10/13/23/asiad-basketball-gold-to-stay-in-ph-poc-chief-says

It looks like only JB tested positive and I don’t think if this is a personal attack but hopefully the next sample will result to a negative test. This is too bad for JB if ever because he will be banned for the next 2 years in Basketball, many says it could be a result of the medication he is taking due to his injury, let’s pray for the best and continue to support JB.

Yes we are still the gold but its very unfortunate to have this news and I hope the team Gilas will not leave JB behind and will continue to support him. We know how good JB is and we know how the Chinese community threatened JB, I also hope that this is just a result of his medication. Anyway, we are still the Gold and it will remain as our part of our history, no one can ever take that.

Seems that no one will leave JBL behind, but the decision is not on us that complain from the host team or whoever it is will result to a possible removal of JB in our gilas program so lets all hope and pray that this issue will be resolve and will let him stay, else, we don't have any option if the ruling will favor the complainant and will sided to whatever reason about that drug element which they are bringing to the commissions they are trying everything that they can to make an excuse with that unexpected loss against the gilas, no wonder everyone from that country especially those fans can't accept a back to back humiliation for their dominating squad.

JB is important player on Philippines so for sure they do all just to protect him but still the decision is on right board so lets wait for the updates regarding to this news. Its really unfortunate if he will be banned for 2 years since for sure that will be a big lose for Philippines and we might not see him again perform the same as today if he will be stuck for two years without playing a competitive basketball. They said China is so desperate and they want to revenge by doing this, if this rumors is true then its not really good to see how desperate they are doing this and they are butthurt for their past lose to Philippines. Maybe they should play fair and take a revenge on next meet up and they should not do this trouble since it will just create a bad vibes towards these countries and maybe on their next meet up we can see a more physical game between their players since maybe they want to take revenge on the shame they encounter from a huge lose to Philippines.

The POC President has already spoken that the gold will stay but they can't assure the sanction for FIBA sanction tournaments and if he's proven to be positive for the 2nd time, there's no way that they can remove that sanction from him for at least 2 years. JB has been loved by all of us and he had truly helped the Gilas to get that gold medal and that's why it's kind of disappointing when we've heard about this news. Anyway, we've just seen the Gilas proven that they're better than China, and even if there have been a lot of comparisons already against the Chinese team they're like the center of the issue nowadays because of how they fell on the Asiad. While Jordan, we don't hear a lot from them and they're all just sports as their import is also an import to our PBA-team, TNT. If all of the players and teams are just like these sportsmen folks, it's such to see a lovely day to the basketball tournaments that our Gilas participates and they can even get loved by pinoy fans.

Yeah thats a bad news for Justin brownlee  as we all know that he has an injury and he take medicine to cure it, so there's a chance that he got positive. Anyways let's pray for Justin brownlee maybe next text it will become a negative hoping.   But if he is still positive then one thing for sure next world cup he can not join the team.
That 2 years is quite bad enough to disappoint the fans cause he will be banned once it's prove that In the next test he still got positive.

Bad news for TNT Katropa fans, especially to the fans of Roger Pogoy. He was diagnosed with myocarditis, a rare heart disease and per report he will be out for the next three to four months and most probably, he will not be seeing action on this 48th season of the PBA.

TNT Katropa might not depend their crown as they are having these personal issues of their players. Pogoy out, then there is this rumors that Mikey Williams won't be back in the PBA as he might be pasturing a greener pasture in Japan, these not sounds good to coach Jolas.

Sad to hear this kind of news but I’m sure he will be healed and God is already working on it just like what happened to LA Tenorio. Well, TNT can solve that problem as long as they are willing to pay right to the good player. Pogoy is a big loss for the team and someone should step up and help the team defend their title. Let’s see how TNT will adjust to this and see if they are still the title contender for this season.

Not good for TNT as mentioned aside from RR an issue with Mikey will messed up with their front court, knowing both offensive players are the main gunners of TNT but coach Jolas don't have any other options the league will proceed with or without  Mikey,  fans will understand the situation for RR but for Mikey  if he will not return and will pushed his career to other league I'm not sure if what will going to be the action from TNT management. Looking forward to hear updates regarding to Mikey.

Roger Pogoy having that medical condition will be undoubtedly bad for Coach Jolas. But for Mikey Williams? I should say Coach Jolas won't mind him even how good that player is because he settles for a player with good behavior rather than just allowing Mikey to do what he likes because he thinks he's the superstar for the team.

Remember when Coach Jolas was vocal about the unprofessionalism of Mikey Williams before? Even though he's the star of the team, a 1-week suspension was taken in motion to M. Williams. Even way before that, Williams did really show some boastful attitude during the re-signing with TNT several seasons ago.

Talking about Pogoy, he's one of the best cagers in the TNT. I even think no one from the team can even fill the space that he will leave.

It's really sad for Pogoy. When we hear 'heart disease,' it sounds quite serious. I hope he'll be able to recover from that. I've seen some similar cases with an NBA player who also had heart disease; that's LaMarcus Aldridge, and I believe he's no longer active in the NBA.

That's why Mikey Williams is sometimes inconsistent; it seems like this guy really has an attitude problem. We all know he is talented, but he seems to think he's the best and deserves special attention. He goes as far as breaking the rules. This kind of behavior might not bode well for the team in the long run. I wonder why TNT signed him, especially considering the past rumors that he demanded too much for his salary.

[blockman]

Yes, that's truly a good news that the gold medal will stay to the Gilas because a lot of rumors said that it will be taken back but no way. And it's nice that they've shown the rules about it that being one positive won't be enough to take away the gold medal.

That's not a good habits when they take back  the gold medal from gilas pilipinas as we all know that they try too hard to get that medal. And also china can't move on because the reason of that big come back from the Filipino team that's the reason why they advance to the finals against Jordan . Anyways that's a good thing for gilas that they prove that they can compete to international players.

It's not actually a habit but it's a way for them to protest because they can't accept defeat. Any contest or this is a normal process for them to prove that someone isn't buffed up by some substance that led to a good play. But with Brownlee, we don't believe that he's into it. The guy really is just athletic and we've seen him play for so many years in the Ginebra and that's just how he's playing. You're right that they can't move on but this process is normal for them and we can't say anything into it whether they fake it or not because it's a written rule. But even with that, they can't take away the gold medal to Gilas and our mother country, Philippines.

Yes, they  can go desperately from that process and try to move that gold medal away from our country,  they can't let it go as they being embarrassed infront of their own crowd, such embarrassment  is something personal  for this country  they want that dominance and they are showing it in trying to make an excuse, they just can't let go and try to win again in the next tournament but instead they are willing to use all the resources  that they've got to try taking back the gold from the  Gilas squad.

The good side of the ruling is that there should be at least 3 players that will also turn positive. But on this one, it seems that there's only one player and that's Brownlee that has got positive. Maybe he's being pinpointed by the Chinese fans and national team of theirs because he's the one that turned the table of their almost win. It's really hard to move on when you've been leading more than 20 points and then you just get a lose by just 1 point at the last seconds of the quarter. That's bad beats, literally!

It looks like the PBA will indeed start on November 5, 2023, as the timer is already counting down the right number of days remaining. As we can see on their official website, the next game is set to start in 19 days. This means there's plenty of time for our players to enjoy their vacation and relax with their families, because when they return, the season is sure to be hectic in terms of the schedule.

Brownlee is probably still in the US, but it can't be easy for him to learn that he tested positive for an illegal substance, especially after winning a gold medal. But that's life; he has to accept the result. What's important is that the medals were not taken back.

Yup, November 5 is the opening date of the PBA and AFAIR, this is the longest time that I have not seen the PBA due of its FIBA and ASIAD campaign but it is worth the wait because we've got the gold medal in the Asian Games.

With regards to Brownlee's issue, do you guys have an idea whether he will be suspended in the coming PBA or not? I can't remember if Kiefer Ravena was suspended but i do remember that he was suspended on FIBA sanction games for two years but in the PBA, I don't remember.

Nonetheless, this issue is not a big deal for PBA fans as it is not a performance enhancing drugs so this issue will die very soon hehe.

Yup it was the longest time that PBA suspend or adjust the season, showing the dominance of SMC group knowing it before where even there's world cup or ASIAD the game must go on, but with the changes of big boss behind the national team seems that PBA is now aligned with what the National needs.. hehehe just kidding.. Though it's nearing, I also agree that players need that time for their families, giving them much longer time.

In terms of JBL, I also remember that PBA did allow Kiefer before, so maybe that will be the same case here. They might let it go and let JBL to perform for the fans who really love him more after taking home the gold.

Hopefully PBA will recognize that contribution to the man who plays that big heart for us to win the gold, hope for consideration and let him feel that warm hugs and cheers from his local fans.

The PBA can't afford not to have JBL, as he is the one who makes the Gin Kings better. Without him, the team would just be an ordinary one, even with Coach Tim Cone's brilliance in coaching. So, I'm not worried if he would be banned, as I'm positive he'll come back to play. The issue was just in the international game. I'm not sure if whatever sanction they impose on JBL would affect a privately owned league. I think it doesn't make sense if they connect that, as it's already beyond their jurisdiction to implement such sanctions.

[blockman]

Everyone, PBA has transferred to another network and for sure that this transfer of theirs will help this network even become stronger since it was the one that have became the second network and home of ABS-CBN shows. And that network is none other than A2Z.
(https://www.pba.ph/news/pba-games-will-now-be-shown-on-a2z)
I've just read somewhere that there was a conflict with TV5's Spingo or show that have taken the time slot for PBA games but that's fine, wherever PBA goes, the fans will also come and that's for sure.

Speaking of JB guys, Ginebra seems to be dropping JB on their roster and is now trying to find another import as replacement. Sad for the Brgy. Ginebra fans, I mean for all of the fans because he have lifted the Gilas during the Asian games and brought gold home.

I just read the news, and it seems that Ginebra is no longer contesting the test results. They will accept what happened and look for a replacement for Brownlee. Now, this is a different ball game without Brownlee, so let's see if Ginebra is still the team to beat. By the way, is Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (RHJ) playing as an import for any team in the PBA?

Not good news for Ginebra fans, but if you look at the other side, this could create a more unpredictable conference. Brownlee is known to be a dominant import, having won Best Import awards and championships. It's also a change for the network, and I hope the channel they'll transfer to will provide a clearer reception, as TV5 has not always delivered that for us. But for those who rely on Facebook streams to watch the game, this should not be a concern.

Yeah, they're not going to contest anymore the test results because it seems that they have little chance of winning against the case and findings for Brownlee.

Now, this is a different ball game without Brownlee, so let's see if Ginebra is still the team to beat.

I guess that they will still be an unbeatable team knowing that they're good in picking up their imports, there could have been some reserve already.

By the way, is Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (RHJ) playing as an import for any team in the PBA?

Yes, he is listed on TNT.
