2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

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.

Paul Lee is the leader of the team, but this team is still a good team even without him. The presence of Calvin Abueva makes this team be more energetic and their defense is really impressive. They have good guards as well, so there's no need to rush Paul Lee, he should be given a good rest as there's no urgency for this team to win every game since they are rank in the number 1 spot now, a solo number 1.

We all know that because before Paul Lee, it was James Yap who got traded to ROS for Paul Lee. I don't know about the impact for the fans but I think James Yap has more impact and contribution, so Paul Lee still has to prove he can again win a championship, especially in the all Filipino cup.

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.

Good for them as another lockdown is imposed and the Olympics is near to it's end,

fans needs some entertainment just  waiting  for some time before the resume, some discussions needs to finalized between teams and all the
people involve inside this league.

Expect that the game will resume PBA doesn't like to cancel this season, fans wait for long to see this rolling.

There's no decision for the final venue yet but more importantly, IATF allowed them to resumed on GCQ and MGCQ areas.

The ECQ will only last until the 20th. I don't see why PBA should give another effort to continue on the province. It's just over a week more then PBA will again resume at their usual arena. No hassle, no extra cost, no need to comply again with new protocols on the province and so. If they will start to pack up and fix everything, it might take almost a week or 3-4 days at least a minimum. Only a few days more and ECQ will be lifted here.

Just saying  Maybe that's the reason why they are not announcing anything, those are possible reasons as they needed to plan deeper since if they will move to another location, some sort of extra budget will needed.

While, waiting for another week and see what are the developments with this virus may let them play without any additional cost.

Taking time to wait and see if they'll going to announce updates regarding to the resume of the league.

I've heard that it's going to be in Batangas for which the news before that someone posted a banner that they're welcoming PBA. But that was long time ago.
Yeah, there's no announcement yet. I understand that they have to cope up with such schedule and such delays might affect the entire schedule of the league and that's probably why they're pushing to find a venue even if this ECQ is just two weeks.

I have read in the news that the venue now that they seriously consider is Pampanga is it is MGCQ there.

wherever they will holding the bubble, I'm just glad that they are considering the resumption of PBA. Too much bad news these days and news like this will at least give some relief to people who are just staying at home since it's ECQ in some parts of the country.

PBA in Pampanga
Now, the PBA hierarchy is considering other provinces to host its game, including Pampanga, which hosted the Philippine Cup last year under a full bubble setup.

Pampanga is currently under MGCQ.

Let's remain optimistic, the PBA will surely resume because they are planning a mini-bubble in a location they used before.
We are all patiently waiting for the return, until now there's still not a tentative date as to when the game will resume but it should be soon or this month.

All we can do now is to wait and hope that they'll going announce it the sooner, and like what you have just said, let's remain optimistic as for sure we all affected due to our daily gambling practices.  But kidding aside I'm really excited with how SMB will perform.

I see some clips of practices featuring TR7, he's healthy and seems that the whole cast are in a mission,

fueling them up with a healthy JMF and a running CJ Perez and to Complete the cast bring in Ross and Lassiter or Santos and Cabagnot..

It happened all of a sudden and no one has expected that there's going to be an ECQ and the nearby provinces are also going to be part of it as we're in a bubble plus.
The PBA officials, if they're decided to put that back in Pampanga then that's much better as they've got a lot of choices so that they can continue the league even if there's a hindrance due to the implementation of the ECQ.

James Yap won't be traded with the Rain or Shine if he still meets the expectation of the team. Paul Lee is younger, and for sure he can still achieve more success than James Yap, and I think anytime soon, James Yap will retire but we will never forget him as he is Mr. Big Shot in the PBA.

I think he is still active now with ROS, but he only played limited minutes, probably because the team sees he can't be effective anymore when getting a lot of minutes like he used to in the past.

PBA granted IATF nod for GCQ play, eyes Pampanga return for PH Cup

The Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) has allowed the resumption of the 2021 PBA Philippine Cup on Friday, August 6, with the condition that the league will only play in areas under a standard general community quarantine (GCQ) or lower.

There's no more hindrance, we will eventually see the resumption of the PBA anytime soon.

PBA granted IATF nod for GCQ play, eyes Pampanga return for PH Cup

Reading the article, Pampanga is not the final venue but rather a choice. There's still no response from the Pampanga LGU so maybe there will be a change.

But I agree to post above. The process of transferring the venue to the province might take up several days and maybe once it finalized, there are only a few days left for Manila to shift into other restrictions. They can push the province venue but they should finish it there. I'm sure Manila ECQ won' be extended so they can just wait for it as making a semi-bubble setup on the province takes time. Roughly a day has passed, there's still no answer from the LGU there (the article was posted on August 6. 2 days with no update).

Well then, whatever their decision, their followers are just stand-by. The temporary break will somehow help those players who are still struggling with the bubble phase and for those with injuries.

Meeting expectations? or something that related with her former wife?

or most of all because money matter? Good contract deal that will secure his future.

I don't see that point he still on his prime when the trade happened, they still a championship contender with Simon and Pingris, 
and very fresh from achieving the grand slam right? Whatever it is or any reason behind, both teams agree together with the players,
and now it's a new book for both players.

We have an update about PBA resumption, they'll resume this month at Pampanga.

Betting continues, after the fight of Spenvs vs Pacquiao, we can continue the betting.

This is a good news for the fans.

[Kasabus]

Plenty of time before they will resume, no more speculation as PBA has already announced their schedule of conference resumption, and hopefully, there will be no more disruption after they will resume.

By the way, Reyes seemed to be doing a great job with the TNT.

With this semi bubble setup PBA will resume without any interruptions, we will see more actions after that date good enough to continue our betting activities. They just need to let each teams to set up practices before the league will go ahead and resume all the games.

With that TNT stats, we know how good Reyes was and how close he used with Manny Pangilinan, full support are in his back now and TNT will come up performing to their best once again.

Castro leading this team with the coach he always love to have, this will bring them as good contender for this season's title.

I don't want to conclude yet, maybe after they will win against a strong team like the SMB, BGSM, and Magnolia. If they will beat at least one of the teams I mentioned, then probably I will agree with the conclusion that TNT will have a good season under coach Chot Reyes.

[harizen]

We have an update about PBA resumption, they'll resume this month at Pampanga.

Did they anticipate or think that ECQ might be extended in Manila? Since they chose August 22 wherein Manila's ECQ will last until August 20.

Or maybe for some teams to have more time to practice since it's not possible to do it, for now, in Manila. Well then, at least they have a plan set on stones now and for the remaining days, they will work on where players and staff will stay.

That was a good development.

Got a good point they still have to passed those 3 superteams, beating them adds to their accomplishments.

Not being Bias but SMB with all the healthy stars are showing back to their shapes, that's really a team to beat. Then here comes Magnolia with the addition of  Abueva they are also perfoming well and now residing at the top,

While BGSM still under the radar they are not starting that well, but knowing this crowd favorite, still too early to conclude.
