2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[chaser15]

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

After eliminations, we will only see if their chemistry is now on a strong foundation. Actually, I don't mind their chemistry since it's just Standhardinger that only added to their main lineup. For at least 5-6 games, they will know each other's play.

But still eyeing for a non-SMC team to reach the championship. Rooting for Phoenix before but only if they didn't give up Abueva. Now looking forward to TNT's journey and if their rookie will explode this conference.

We have an update about PBA resumption, they'll resume this month at Pampanga.
~snip~
Betting continues, after the fight of Spenvs vs Pacquiao, we can continue the betting.

This is a good news for the fans.

I'm not being pessimistic but I do hope that the COVID situation in our country improves during that time so that their plan will realize.

Here in our place, the quarantine status was reverted to MECQ because of the rising cases but as far as I can see, it worsens because the authorities have not implemented the protocols for MECQ like suspending the public transport so there is a high chance that we will be going to ECQ after this week and that's what I'm hoping will not happen to Pampanga.

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,

With that, it's now San Miguel teams dominating again the All-Filipino Conference.

Outside San Miguel, there's Meralco and TNT that I followed. With their lineup, I think they can at least a good close game at these big San Miguel teams.

Who's cheering here for teams that are not under the San Miguel Corporation?

[blockman]

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.

They are already granted, so the final venue is Pampanga.

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.

Great for the PBA. We're now going to see them again back in action. And they'll just probably be back again in the coliseum if the ECQ is lifted again.

I'm not being pessimistic but I do hope that the COVID situation in our country improves during that time so that their plan will realize.

Here in our place, the quarantine status was reverted to MECQ because of the rising cases but as far as I can see, it worsens because the authorities have not implemented the protocols for MECQ like suspending the public transport so there is a high chance that we will be going to ECQ after this week and that's what I'm hoping will not happen to Pampanga.

It is what everyone is wanting to see. We all want to see how our country defeats covid19 and we will now have a better situation. It's been a year and probably going two if things didn't do good. 
This really has changed our lives, good for those that made their lives positive despite the bad situation. But most of us didn't have a good stand during this pandemic.

I don't think they will again dominate, other teams have also improved and I think Ginebra and Magnolia will somehow give SMB a good challenge this conference. As per standing, Magnolia is currently dominating, followed by TNT, so it could be an unpredictable season.

You got my statement wrong bud. I said San Miguel teams, not the team San Miguel Beermen. Ginebra and Magnolia are part of the San Miguel teams.

I'm hoping at least TNT will shine at this conference. They always have a good record but lacking short in playoffs.

PBA will setback to return on Pampanga. The news is circulating for several days now but the PBA site is not showing any news about it.

https://www.pba.ph/news

No news about some fresh progress right? It's about 9 days from now and the PBA will resume again. I think that will be the final venue and they will not return on Manila, as the conference is almost on its 50% progress.

It will be delayed according to the news.

PH Cup resumption could be delayed as teams scramble for practice time

THE PBA may take a little bit more time before it can resume action in the Philippine Cup in Pampanga.

But as you can read, the venue will still be in Pampanga.

Meanwhile, JMF is now grieving the death of his mother, probably we will not see him return soon.

Aww! Something that really going to bother him in case he'll try to work on it, but since it will be another bubble setup for sure, San Miguel will allow him to take the rest,

It's really a saddened lost since her mom is his number one fan. All the emotions will be there for JMF, knowing his close relationship with her.

Prayers and condolences to him and for the rest of the family. Hope for him to stay strong and not to fall with this passing of her mother.

[harizen]

Meanwhile, JMF is now grieving the death of his mother, probably we will not see him return soon.

As part of the country's protocol, the funeral should just take up to 2-3 days.

He can still be with the team when the league returns on 21st. And I think he will be more motivated to play rather than to sit in the corner. He is super close to his mother so he won't show any signs of just sitting in the corner and mourns as for sure, his mother won't like that.

Back in the league, PBA teams told to prepare for possible bubble anew. I wonder why they used the word "possible" meaning there is no 100% plan for now? Anyways, reading the article, there's no mentioned date unlike in the previous news that the return will be on August 21st.

I hope Fajardo will not be affected a loss from the loss of his mother, and you are right, hopefully, he will use it as his inspiration to play harder and get back to his MVP shape the soonest possible time. With this delay, it's again very helping the teams with players that are suffering from injury, it was previously reported it will be back this month but now the status is postponed, so we can expect next month I think.

Here we are again, the word delay could mean next month or next year, we don't know now where they will resume as they did not gave any estimated timeline. NBA is over, so we really need the PBA to resume again so the betting will resume, for now, I'm really bored as I don't like betting on NBA preseason too.

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.

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.

I think his production has gone down, so the team has no choice but to trade him.

Yes, both teams agree that's why we can assume that they believe the player they will get will fit the team.
Look, where is James Yap now, he is barely playing with the ROS while Paul Lee is the main man of the team.

This is going back in the past and talking about the blockbuster trade.

I think the coach of ROS that time is already Caloy Garcia, and here's a very important news that says how important Paul Lee is to the ROS.

https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/yeng-guiao-wouldn-t-have-made-paul-lee-for-james-yap-trade-a2437-20200824

If he was still ROS coach, Guiao wouldn't have approved Lee-Yap trade

See that, Paul Lee was their star player back when Guiao was still coaching this team and they have some good success, so why trade Paul Lee.
I don't know about James Yap performance that time but I think he is already getting old and probably suffering from injuries.

For sure Junemar is very affected by this event but one thing I like about him is that he is very professional on the court so he will play hard as if nothing has happened. I wonder how the passing of Junemar's mother could affect other players or PBA staff as they will now realize that covid is really here and no amount of money could save them if they have the virus.

The last time I know, PBA would be back on August 22 in Pampanga. Is there a new development on this?

Checking the most updated Facebook pages like PBA Official  Spin.ph, Smart Sports, PBA Rush, PBA site news portal, there's no recent update yet about how's the progress of the league switching venue to Pampanga.

Still a week to go so surely, we should expect an update, at least, next week probably 2-3 days before the conference restarts.

The date of return was delayed according to the latest news, so most probably they are not sure when they will return and I'm just hoping for an update this month so we will not anymore wait with empty information like what happened in the past. The start of the PBA season was already good, but they need to comply with the IATF rules, otherwise, the risk of getting suspended is high.

Speaking about the return of the PBA.

Here's the latest news ;

PBA to resume season on Aug. 29 on initiative of players: source

PBA players are eager to return to action and are pitching in as the league faces a more expensive “semi-bubble” setup in Pampanga, possibly starting on Aug. 29.

Sources told Spin.ph that the team captains led by Ginebra superstar LA Tenorio have agreed to take care of some of the expenses so that the league can resume play at Clark.

The PBA has put Philippine Cup games on hold while NCR is under Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ).

Tenorio met with fellow team captains two weeks ago and have agreed to help their ballclubs with the cost of playing in a “semi-bubble” setup.

As previously reported, it's a semi-bubble setup, and might also see the return this month, just a week delayed from the first reported date

Something that players need to carry to help the franchise and to keep the league in good shape, this pandemic hits them up and
without these initiatives, delayed might happen.

Thanks to all team captains, as they agreed together to make things happened and to let the ball rolling again, another week of delays
is better than nothing at all.

Give the players some time to complete those practices and to make them in shape when the resume takes place.

IMO, they are already in shape because the conference has already started, what's going to happen is that they will just transfer to a new location. This venue is not new to them as they already played here in the first bubble where BGSM has become the champion.

Meanwhile, since SMB is full of stars, I hope this is true because it could affect CJ's ego not to be part of the starting line up.
