2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[Fredomago]

This coming Wednesday, their record will surely increase to 2-4 as they will battle with the weakest team in the PBA, they will play the Terraferma DYIP who has not won a single game yet according to the current standing. https://pba.ph/standings

It should be a big bounce back, they cannot be complacent here, if they have a big lead, they should still work hard to keep that lead and had a very dominant win.

They need this win to feel  back the aggressions, they are down now but still have that chance if they start winning those remaining games,

though they are not the same Phoenix when abueva still playing with them, the impact of that guy is really big for every team that he played.

Look at the current stats of Magnolia as he really bring that same level, bringing good productions and the fighting spirit from each games that they are playing.

They have the chance to win, it's just a matter of good execution that they are missing, but with DYIP, I doubt they'll lose against this worst team, however, the handicap might be too high as sportsbook knows people are betting on the Phoenix LPG to win.

Look at the current stats of Magnolia as he really bring that same level, bringing good productions and the fighting spirit from each games that they are playing.

Magnolia has more experienced players than the Phoenix, and they are the better team than the Phoenix so they are expected to be in a good ranking.
The addition of Abueva only makes the team better but the effect of the Phoenix is bad.

Gilas finishes fourth in Amman as fightback vs Tunisia falls short

The Philippines lose because they did not play Ange Kouame, their naturalized player, I bet for the Philippines but unfortunately, they did not as competitive as they were when they beat Tunisia, of course, Ange Kouame was playing that time.

I think even with Kouame on board, not an assurance that they will win.

They came from a 2-game losing streak, with Kouame playing, prior to that match. What I noticed is, other cadets are not playing well. Even the hyped Thirdy Ravena doesn't seem to show performing well.

More importantly, some cadets are slowly gaining experience playing in the international leagues. Soon to be riped.

I haven't followed the King Abdullah cup but it seems that tournaments like this are going to happen from time to time which is a great sign that these funds from the basketball team will be used for what it used to be. We see those critics that are saying that instead of funding the basketball team and improve it, since we know that our country cannot beat other countries in official tournaments, the budget should be allocated to other sporting events and athletes. But they just can't accept the love and passion of our country for this sport which is valuable to us. Anyone who has an idea if there's another tournament like this where Gilas is invited or eligible participant?

They can't say about the budget of this fight because it's not funded by the government funds, it's funded by private funds and this is not a major event, it's just a friendly match although the players represent the Philippines in their campaign.

No games today and games are postponed.

PBA suspends games due to rising COVID-19 cases in NCR

GAMES of the PBA Philippine Cup scheduled on Wednesday have been suspended due to the surge of the COVID-19 Delta variant infections in the National Capital Region (NCR).

The league made the advisory early Tuesday in support of the government’s directive in addressing the rise in COVID cases in Metro Manila, which has been put under GCQ with heightened restrictions from July 30 to August 5.

Eventually, NCR will be placed under a stricter ECQ (Enhanced Community Quarantine) status starting August 6 to August 20.

Let's wait for further updates, maybe they are planning to look for another locations so they can resume the season.
Covid-19 restrictions are really a problem as the implementation is for everyone in a certain area.

Covid-19 restrictions are really a problem as the implementation is for everyone in a certain area.

The commissioner has said that they are waiting for IATF's approval to transfer the venue where the quarantine status is not strict. Batangas is the location of choice and they are planning to do a mini-bubble setup.

Personally, I think it's better to halt the season for now as this Delta variant is not a joke and also to give peace of mind to the players whose families are left at home. I think this would only last a month and this will be downgraded again to MGCQ and they can resume playing by that time.

I doubt they'll do that, they have invested in this season so they'll find a way for this season to continue, if they will have to make a bubble again, I'm sure they'll do. Just like our economy, if we are afraid of the virus, we will not survive, but we can always find a way to survive even if the virus will stay.

I hope for the safety of the players and the success of the organization, but safety is always important and they can't sacrifice safety just for money.

[Hypnosis00]

I think they already found a new location, and hopefully it will be realize and the conference will resume soon.

PBA eyeing to continue season in Batangas as NCR shifts to ECQ

MANILA, PHILIPPINES

PBA commissioner Willie Marcial has sent a letter to the Department of Health asking permission for the league to continue its season outside Metro Manila


The PBA is already bracing for the worst as it eyes to continue its season in Batangas once Metro Manila is placed under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) from August 6 to 20.

PBA commissioner Willie Marcial said he sent a letter to the Department of Health on Friday, July 30, asking permission for the league to continue its ongoing Philippine Cup outside Metro Manila in a semi-bubble setting.

The preferred site of the PBA is Lipa, Batangas.

They should, this ew variant is not a  joke and if they'll going to push this one up there's
no assurance that even players and all the people around the league already have the vaccines,
it's unsure that they'll not going to carry this virus.

I do follow that, it's the safety of everyone and not just for the sake of money,
paused for a while and wait for the outcome of this incoming lockdown.

PBA eyeing to continue season in Batangas as NCR shifts to ECQ

This might not be push through because there's a possibility that region 4A will be place to enhance community quarantine together with NCR on August 6 due to increasing number of infected of the virus though its not certain yet.

The official announcement will be made tomorrow based on the governor of Cavite. Batangas is part of region 4A thus if this happened then its not going to be the set location for the league unless there's an exception. Nevertheless its not official yet so lets see what will happen.

Sad but PBA needs to slow things out as this Delta variant is damaging more people, they need to consider the health of every people who works inside   together with their whole families.

Though it's been a long delay for this season but it's situations where league governors need to set things out, deeper analysis is what they needed not just the locations but more on the possible effect of this virus.

There's not assurance that even you already take the vaccines you are now safe, this new variants is far dangerous than the first covid19.

During the old days, creating a new vaccine to a new strain of virus really takes at least 3 years before they will be used in public.
Now the virus only took a year before it has been used possibly because of how fast it is to be transmitted from person to person. All vaccines have side effects and that is for sure. COVID Vaccines doesn't make you immune but you can get only mild symptoms and can recover quickly when you are infected by the virus which is already good.

Viruses are constantly mutating thus, we've seen new variants like the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and now the Delta. This Delta variant surely is affecting not only the old but there is a proof already that even those younger kids (around 1-3 yrs. old) can get affected by this virus too. On the other hand, I hope that this Delta variant and the ECQ will not stop what the PBA has started already. They are kinda like in the halfway or near halfway of the season already and this mustn't stopped. Relocating is a good idea

If the number of infections will increase, then for sure the government has no choice but to implement a lockdown again and we would not like it.
Though the PBA plan to resume the season in Batangas in a mini bubble set up, we still don't know when they'll resume as they have read the play first.

Cone is okay with the bubble, they might still win again as they won the first PBA bubble.

No other option as the country is fearing to face a much wider new delta variant if they won't act as early as now,

PBA needs to consider pausing the season again or if the government allows them to facilitate outside metro manila,

Maybe we need to wait for the final announcement from the league governors, there's no news yet but if the green signal from IATF comes up, another

bubble set up might happened, looking to see all healthy players to play inside this setup.

Latest update on the PBA's return, we might see them at Clark Pampanga again.

BATANGAS won’t be able to host the PBA Philippine Cup.

On Friday, the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) gave the league the go signal to resume its games in provinces which are only under a regular General Community Quarantine (GCQ) or a modified GCQ.

Too bad, Batangas has just been placed under GCQ (General Community Quarantine) with heightened restrictions starting Friday.

No venue for Batangas, I think this is the final venue and I hope they'll prepare it soon so they can resume.

They are back to their old location, well, this is a guaranteed success as they made a successful season during their first bubble, and that was a full bubble because there's no vaccine at that time. I'm glad the PBA had quickly decided, they don't really want to cancel this season.

Great news, at least for now the venue is already assured and all we have to do is just wait for the schedule of the resumption of the games. As per their official website (https://pba.ph/), there's no written schedule yet, so they are probably still working on the requirements and getting the place ready.

Meanwhile, this delay in the conference helped Paul Lee to give time in recovering from his injury.

They should make Paul Lee ready as they have a great start, undefeated at the moment and if Paul Lee will not play due to injury, I'm afraid they will struggle as no one could replace him with the same skills and talent. I guess they will resume this month too, it won't be long as they have already plan ahead before the new restriction came in.
