2024 PBA Governor's Cup

[Maslate]

Looks like PBA will resume next month, and we have a good news as some familiar imports are coming back.

Familiar imports back for PBA Governors' Cup

Durham is back for Meralco, a good rival import for Justin Brownlee, I hope he is still the same or have improve so we will see some good exciting match up with JB.

ROS will have Aaron Fuller..and Magnolia will have Glenn Robinson III ...

Gin kings is really doing a good decision for acquiring RJ Abarrientos since they would really have a great point guard with good basketball IQ also can contribute good for their team. We already see how good he is on KBL also his latest performance on SGA. So I will not get surprised if they San miguel or Gilas management is preparing him for Gilas since he deserve to get a slot on the national team since he can contribute a lot for the national team.

I also see that, CTC see that position got emptied when Scootie suffer from an injury it affects not only the Gin kings but also the National tea m without a designated PG who have that ability being a threat both being a playmaker and a deadly shooter he needs to fill that and I think RJ is a good young talent that can fill it out, and with the long time companionship with Kai and Karl I think suiting him for the Gilas is a good decision even as early as now.

I like that move from Meralco after winning the title, bringing Durham and having him leads the squad, he's not new to the system and with the type of a player he is, a good two-way player like JBL that's going to be a good match-up between these two imports, looking forward to see also those other teams to step up and bring their teams to another level together with their reinforcements.

Do you still remember when these two teams played? I think Durham even beat Brownlee because Durham is a good defender and bigger than Brownlee. So Durham is really fit for the Meralco Bolts as this team focuses more on defense, and Durham is a defensive player. I'm excited for the upcoming Governor's Cup; it seems like it's going to be very competitive, especially with the trades that have happened recently.

Durham is still good as he was named MVP playing in another league.

Former Meralco import Allen Durham named Championship MVP as Ryukyu wins Japan B.League title

That was a year ago, so he is really still on his form and probably have even improved more. With that, I think we will not regret seeing Brownlee vs Durham as they might have an unfinished business in the past. However, since Meralco just recently won the championship, I think they are more dangerous comes the the new season especially with a good  import.

Yup, with the way they are playing good defense together with Durham that's a big addition to them, thanks for sharing that info which will excite the fans especially those Gin kings fans who love seeing JBL to domiante, with Durham it's an interesting competition as both are really giving everything for the team.

Let see if how they will lead their own squad and what are the adjustments that both coaches will adds up to their system to allow both imports to showcase thier skills and talents.

Some good news and can be still connected to Philippine basketball as our Strong Group Athletics have won against Malaysia in the William Jones cup. The score ended 89-54 and this gives them 3-0 for the entire start of the tournament. Congratulations to them. They'll face USA tomorrow so good luck to them.

They have been dominating in the last three games, except against Ukraine where it was a little closer. However, they'll be facing a real challenge as Team USA is always a strong team, so let's see if the win streak will continue. I'm thinking of betting on this game or this league, but I could not find it in my sportsbook. Are any of you guys betting on this league? If I'm not mistaken, the current tournament now is the Jones Cup, right?

Correction on my post, lol.. it seems like team USA are not sending their best players by just looking at their previous games here.

It's good now that MVP teams are trying to get better imports for them to compete with SMC teams. Meralco really now become stronger, and the momentum that they have when they won the Philippine Cup might be carried over in the upcoming Commissioners Cup. However, it's a different league when there are imports as some can just dominate and carry their team. At the end of the day, it's good to see old imports like Durham, Brownlee, and Fuller.

Aside from them, I'm seeing old NBA players again like Ricky Ledo for Blackwater and Glenn Robinson III for the Hotshots. Other teams don't have an import still so let's just wait. I'm still thinking if I will watch PBA games even though there's an import. Maybe during the playoffs only since I'm not betting.

And this seemed true, but Team USA scared Team Philippines in the first half as the game was really close. It was only in the 3rd quarter that the Philippines had a strong run, and Team USA was not able to come back anymore. I just watched the live stream on Facebook. We have some guys who are sharing a free live stream, and we won the game 112-90 which is a good news.

Per quarter scoring:

1st: 28-29 PHI
2nd: 32-27 USA
3rd: 16-33 PHI
4th: 14-23 PHI

It was the defense of the SGA Philippines that gave them a huge win. Congrats to the Philippines; the streak is still alive.

Yes, it's Jones cup. The game has ended, they might be USA but they didn't send their strongest line up ever.
Kudos still to our Strong Group Athletics, they're now a 4-0 run. The game has ended with a score of 112-90 and of course, a win from SGA.

I'm wondering who will be the import of SMB, I think they'll still be one of the best team as JMF can still dominate in the center position, plus if they'll be able to get a good import, they might be in the Finals again. However, it's good to see the proven imports already like Durham and Brownlee, but I would still love to be surprise by the new imports, let's see if they can also make a name like winning the best import award, because currently, I think the competition will only be between Brownlee and Durham.

Kudos still to our Strong Group Athletics, they're now a 4-0 run. The game has ended with a score of 112-90 and of course, a win from SGA.

Yeah right, it's a Jones cup not unless team US will also redeem their flag in this league we might see them sending stronger college players of a D-League stars to win the title, but so far it's good to see the winning streak of SGA they are extending their chance to win the title, with that, they are carrying our flag and it's an honor for our country and a delight for all the fans who loves seeing them played together. Keep it up team SGA!

Well, if the USA will get serious to tournaments like this, they'd send their stronger line up. But I don't even know who are their players but as long as they're team USA and their name is attached to it. It's a very proud moment that our SGA have won against them and they're currently in a winning streak and I hope that they'd be able to win this tournament. Well, RJ Abarrientos is there when he got drafted by Ginebra.

USA performance is not much impressive and it seems like they are not really serious for putting talented guys on their roster that's why their campaign end up miserable so far in this tournament. But anyways still great performance shown by SGA since so they didn't lose even a single game and there's huge chance that they could able to take the championship for this season on Jones cup.

We can also see that Basketball program of Philippines now upgrade since we could really see that they are giving a good fight on their international opponents. Let see if Philippines will be consistent and take home another title on Jones cup.

Yes indeed,  the basketball program really improves  a lot and I like the way local players helping those imports even most of the time the offense belongs to them but with those young generation stars, they are able work together and let the team feel their presence,  still games to win before reaching the goals of winning the title but with how they are performing I'm hoping that they will bring that trophy and that honor to our country..

Another big win by the Philippines.... 79-92 was the final score and we are still on a winning streak. There's no question that we will win the gold in this match up because AFAIK, it is based on the number of wins that will be declared as the big winner and so far, it is the Philippines who are at the top. We are currently 5-0, solo at the top. https://www.asia-basket.com/William-Jones-Cup/basketball.aspx#google_vignette

The talented ones are going to them their entire budget and I think getting a superstar will cost them a lot. So, with all of these players, these are their future prospects. Just like our country, we've got Gilas and there goes the Strong Group. I think that Alfrancis has also made another league for the aspiring new bloods that shall enter the pro scene of basketball. It's another development program managed by him.

Another big win by the Philippines.... 79-92 was the final score and we are still on a winning streak.

Congratulations again to our SGA.

Thanks, but the website seemed not updated, it should already be 6-0 now. Anyway, as what we can see in the  - boxscore, these are the big contributors of the game.

Strong Group Athletics-Pilipinas 92 – McCullough 26, Fenner 17, Heading 11, Ravena 9, Chiu 8, Abarrientos 5, Tiongson 4, Ynot 4, Liwag 4, Ildefonso 2, Manalili 2.

While for Japan.

Japan U22 79 – Ozawa 17, Harper 10, Saeki 10, Sato 10, Kibayashi 9, Sakai 6, Hasegawa 5, Kurokawa 3, Buto 3, Asai 2, Arai 2, Watanabe

Good for them, their top scorer is their local player. 
BTW, Philippines don't even have these 3 players in that game.

Ange Kouame, do-it-all Rhenz Abando, and import Tajuan Agee.

Congratulations again to our SGA.

I thought I would be thrilled watching the games when SGA is dominating in most of them, but I didn't feel it. Honestly, I like to see SGA play against good teams where the game is close so I can feel the thrill. It seems like in this tournament, we are sending our best players, but the other countries are not putting much interest into the league based on the quality of players they sent. I don't know if it's just me, but that's my honest observation.

just look at that.
