2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[blockman]

Its been more than 1 year since this pandemic has started. There are many people who have been affected (159,593,978 as of today) and many have died (3,317,344).
With these numbers, many are still don't believing that this virus is still spreading worldwide. I don't know why they aren't believing on it. Its good that a person like him is sharing his experience and he might attract some people and will believe on it. Some people really believe in some conspira-shits right .

Well, maybe there are some who are believing it but since the recovery rate is high (around 86%) then they aren't afraid if they have been caught by this virus.

That's just a sad thing that despite all of the death cases and those people who have shared their covid infection experience, there are still those kababayans that don't believe it exists. They don't believe and says that it's just the normal flu and they can overcome it even it goes unto them.
We cannot tolerate them if they're influencing us or our loved ones who are gullible to those words but thanks to Joe and the others who didn't fear sharing what they've experienced. As long as he's about to recover and the rest of those infected too, we're going to see some light with it and hopefully the unbelievers will be lessened.

I will leak some information here lol.

Have been in Batangas last weekend (1-day stopover at our friend's house before going to Quezon province for an outing), and they are just nearby Batangas City Coliseum. There's a small tarpaulin there stating "PBA coming soon". For just everyone's information, Batangas City Coliseum is one of the choices for the bubble setup. I just don't know if that notice is telling us that the venue will be there (as it's just "coming soon"). Unfortunately, didn't have a chance to take a picture of it as we are just passing by on that time going to market. This can be verified if there are guys here located nearby on the said coliseum.

Thanks for sharing that experience and information. Well, if the barangay of Batangas city was the one to put that tarpaulin then that means that's a hint that they've already talked about the venue as the next court which will be the setup for the bubble will happen. Maybe if someone who's near to the Batangas City Coliseum can give us some updates or what are the hearsay or actual news about it then that would be better additional information that we're going to hear from them.

Good news for everyone, that's a clear hint already, we can expect that PBA will really return soon. Seems like the statement of one of the officials of the PBA is accurate, they will open the season next month and that is what we should watch out for. I hope we will hear the news soon that they have already started playing.

I read this post and I remember that there are also teams that will be training in Ilocos Norte. We are very near in Ilocos Norte but the restrictions here are very strict and when you go to other places, there is a time limit on how long will you stay on that place. I would want to see NLEX and Meralco on Ilocos Norte at least but.. yeah I think that it would be better to just wait and watch them when this pandemic is over.

Actually, people believe in the virus, however, they just treat it like a serious one as they have no choice, the poverty rate in the Philippines is high, people need to go out and work, the advice of the DOH is to stay at home, avoid social distancing, I think we can't strictly follow that as the most important for us is to work in order to make money to feed our family. Even the government has once lifted the lockdown because the economy will not survive if they will continue with the measure.

I agree with this. People in our country are in a so-called rat-race. People are struggling just to have some money to be used in their daily lives. Because of this, the government lifted the lockdown. They can't afford to stay like what they did in the first 2 months of the pandemic for a longer time. This might be off-topic but the poverty rate of our country will be lessen if people just know how to manage their money properly. If they just have a bit of financial literacy then their lives might be better than what they are right now.

Waiting again for some official statement towards that tarpaulin. It could also be a form of excitement and the barangay officials probably are too excited and just printed it as they've heard some rumors that the bubble set up will be made on their gym.
We will hear the good news very soon until they've finalized everything. And it seems that with the go signal from the IATF and the good situation that we're having against the fight of covid-19, it's just a matter of time that they'll start soon.

Seems this is it.
Training of all teams seen rolling by May 20

BY Thursday, PBA teams may all be done with their first RT-PCR tests and, barring hitches, would be allowed by May 20 to start preparations for the eyed Season 46 mid-June kickoff.

The Meralco Bolts were the first to undertake their swab test and could hit the road for their planned 10-day bubble training camp in Laoag, Ilocos Norte as early as May 15.

After this training, we can expect an announcement on when the PBA will start its season.
I'm so excited, everything seems to be going according to their plan, hopefully it will not be ruin.

[Russlenat]

Thanks for sharing this very important information @Hypnosis00.

As the training will start, there should be no more doubt that the PBA season will start next month.
This is a contact training, which means the same set up when they are playing an actual game, and this would not be approved if there's no measure in place for this, so there's no need to worry, let's just remain optimistic and we will eventually a new season getting started next month.

news related to practice.

That's really great knowing that the first step is already here, after that RT-PCR and players and teams are allowed to take their practices.

for sure the soonest we will see or hear announcement coming from the PBA governors regarding with the  dates that they comes up after those

meetings with franchise owners.

Nice, so they already have plans on how they're going to camp and train for each team. It would be better if they've been allowed to train to the bubble setup and the court that will be used already so that they won't travel from time to time if they're done with the said training.
But, if they're already on the rollout for each training then this is really going to sort it out that we only need to wait by the month of June and we're going to watch again the games happen. 

[goinmerry]

PBA already spends money for these travels, inspections, safety protocols, testing kits, and other miscellaneous spendings.

We can have an assurance that their meeting with the IATF a few weeks ago is a success so PBA is now continuing its roadmap. They won't execute these plans like stating the date of the practice if they were told in the meeting that PBA won't be allowed to operate at least a few months from now.

Laban!

[Maslate]

The development is very positive, though we are witnessing a bubble again that's alright as long as we will witness a new PBA season. The sooner they'll start practicing the better, they need to prepare for the opening so their body could easily adjust, unlike before that some players are prone to injury since the practice time was short there was uncertainly from players that time.

hopefully this time everyone will participate, a complete squad will make it more interesting to watch and more competitive for every team.

Seems that the PBA is heading that way. With the number of cases steadily going down every day, there's a big chance that the planned opening on the middle of next month will push through. Commissioner Willie Marcial has said in his press conference that it's up to the players on how they will handle the protocol set by the IATF.

The PBA got to get going like the other basketball leagues in other countries. They have do it and i'm sure the PBA can.

I'm very optimistic that with the recent developments that are happening around PBA, for sure that the 2021 PBA season will start anytime.
On the other hand, there is this a part of my mind saying that "what if the worst thing happen and that is an instant surge of cases". I'm not being negative here but I'm just thinking both sides but I'm leaning more on the positive since I want to watch some PBA games too.

With all of the teams starting to practice already, I'm very excited to watch PBA games again. I'm curious about the new roster of Ginebra as well as TNT and SMB. I just hope that there will be no negative things that will happen at the time they start training and when the league starts.

As long as the league is not affected, they will continue. Remember that the setup is a bubble set up, they'll stay in a location until the end of the conference and for me, that's already the safest way to avoid getting infected by covid-19, unless someone would violate the rules.

It's now confirmed that Meralco is the first team in the PBA that will undergo practice and training in Ilocos Sur.

No confirmation yet for other teams but it's expected that they will follow right away.

MECQ on the Bubble Plus is until tomorrow Friday, May 14. I think even if it will lift up or not, PBA will still follow the plan of opening in June or July.

July is already too long to wait, they can open the season next month, that's the announcement that we read which was posted before. The same setup happened in the previous bubble, first, they were allowed to practice, then the season was open. However, I think we will still see the same which is the All Filipino cup.

Yup, it's too long of a wait already and the NBA Finals is over by that time, there's a lull on the basketball bettors here lol.

The commissioner have said that the opening on June 15 really depends on the players themselves, on how they follow the health protocols to avoid getting contaminated by the virus. I do think that the players will do their best to impress the IATF so that they will be given the go signal to start the season.

There future is also at stake here, so if they will not cooperate, they might face a problem in the future. PBA players are professionals, they are paid to work or play, so there's no reason they will not take the protocols lightly and violate the rules, I'm optimistic that it's going to be another success.

For the current situation in Phils they will comply on what the league's need since majority of them needs money for survival on this current crisis, also I didn't see anyone who's pain in the ass on their team just like other NBA players who didn't follow protocols intentionally nor gave problems to their team on other reasons. For sure the target date will come in reality since currently the vaccine has already been rolled out and I believe this one will ease the restrictions on every corner in Philippines.
