2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[mirakal]

Now that the restrictions are getting better, I believe they can easily create another Bubble for a new Conference and mid November are impossible to happen though a short break for TNT after winning the title, that's still good as they are still fresh from the last conference.

Yes, Mikey Williams will have more confidence now, that's a big reward booster plus being a champion will always bring a good motivation to get another title.

I like to see how SMB will prepare in facing him again. That semi-finals is more like a final to me. MAG can't do anything about TNT's stars.
They are exploding from different side, Pogoy, Castro, Erram and Rosario are all there to help the team when Williams is being taken. I see personally that the best contender or best competitors against TNT is SMB.

It would be nice to see them playing in the finals, preparations are more than enough if the new conference will be announced.

Restrictions are getting lighter, we might see this new conference will be held inside metro. who knows, right?

SMB will certainly find a way to beat the TNT, now that they all see how good it is against the Magnolia, I'm sure they'll be better next conference. Fajardo wasn't the best player for the team yet, they have to work on his health that he will be dominant again, and that way, they'll take points inside and get more rebounds which is the key to their success.

TNT has won a championship because they are a healthy team, in addition, Mikey Williams is just unstoppable against the hotshots, but not with the SMB.

One thing that I just knew about Mikey Williams, he is already 30 years old. He may be a rookie in the PBA because it is his first year but he has already played so much basketball that's one reason why he played that way, he is almost the same age as Fajardo.

In fairness to him, he has a high basketball IQ though and he deserves the maximum contract that the team could give him as his years playing this level is numbered as he is not young.

Thanks for a little trivia, I don't know that he is already 30 years old, he looks younger than that IMO but I know he played a lot of basketball tournaments already. Compared to Ray Parks, I think is better as he was able to blend with the team and their chemistry is perfect.

Yup, he recently celebrated his birthday in the bubble last October 27, he was born in 1991.

Also a little trivia about him, he is also the nephew of Kelly Williams and this might be one of the reason he came back to the PBA  .

The Williams have helped TNT a lot in this championship campaign and either one of them is injured, i doubt the series against Magnolia would be that easy. As what coach Chot said that a 50 percent healthy Kelly Williams is a big boost/help already to the team.

Coach Chot is very confident with what Kelly Williams could bring to the team, they were working for many years and they have some successful seasons together, so this is good for TNT and we might not yet see Kelly Williams retire soon. By the way, he is already 39 years old, I think he can still play at least 2 more seasons.

Not just that, the big factor here is coach Chot, he handled the team well and for sure his direct relationship with Manny Pangilinan does really have the weight. We don't know what are the perks after this another title. PBA players who win a title always have bonuses and additional perks from the team owners.

If it's possible to share it with use, the perks information, not the physical one hehehe in this way, players are being inspired and keep doing the same system with good positive mentalities that they can repeat it again because they want to have more.

It's very interesting if how teams will adjust after seeing the domination of TNT this last bubble.

That's right because if he wasn't he would not ask Kelly to come out from retirement, they know each other, and Kelly Williams also is very confident that they could win championships together. I like this TNT team because their players are humble and therefore I believe they will get more championships together as long as coach Chot will continue to coach the team.

[Viscore]

The TNT's championship was a major achievement for Coach Chot.

Chot ties Dalupan for most PH Cup titles won

I'm sure there will be more championships to come with him as the TNT roster has now become a championship team with Mikey Williams on board.
What a comeback for him, I thought he is done with his PBA career but he made an epic come back surprising everyone.

Kelly Williams is already retired before this conference. He didn't play in the 2020 bubble for the Katropa. Before the All-Filipino Conference this year, he came back from retirement, and what a blessing that he still got a championship before hanging his jersey.

He has a 2-years contract with the KaTropa. We will see him again until 2023.

Read somewhere that PBA is pushing for an import conference next.

It's November and I don't think they have enough time for it.

3 imports are now confirmed with a high chance of playing next. What do you think?

Just a few minutes ago, One Sports facebook Page posted the list of the imports of some teams and here it is:

Brgy. Ginebra - Justin Brownlee
TNT - Mckenzie Moore
Magnolia - Mike Harris
Phoenix - Paul Harris
Rain or Shine - Henry Walker
San Miguel - Brendan Brown
NLEX - KJ McDaniels
Alaska - Olu Ashaolu

8 out of the 12 teams confirmed their imports already coming the Commissioner's Cup. Some of them are the previous imports to other teams like McDaniels who is at TNT last time, Ashaolu which is at NLEX, Walker who is at Blackwater. New names such as Brendan Brown and Moore. Still the Ginebra don't need to contact another import because they already have their resident import and a reliable one which is Justin Brownlee. I'm already excited with the upcoming conference. We might see more highlights now that imports are playing .

P.S. They didn't include it in the list but the Meralco Bolts will get Shabazz Muhammad as their import. He played in the NBA for 5 seasons and a first round pick in 2013. He isn't that popular but just knowing that he played in the NBA is something already. He played in CBA and averaged 30 points there. LINK

I hope that playing with Brownlee BGSM will play more competitive this upcoming season; they are not playing the same way after acquiring Standhardinger. The chemistries between players are not jelling well.

Brownlee as a leader is expected to hype the rhythm back to this team, or, it's just the way for Gin kings not to be dragged since they are fully loaded
after CStan's trade.

We will see more exciting actions as PBA is trying to bring a much earlier new conference.

I've read of this too.

It's November and I don't think they have enough time for it.

We still don't know and we have to wait for the official announcement about the next conference if it's going to be with import. I think it's possible with the situation of pandemic is getting better.

3 imports are now confirmed with a high chance of playing next. What do you think?

Who are they? I still haven't seen their names.

[Vaculin]

Brownlee is my favorite import in the NBA, so this next conference, I will be putting my bet on the Ginebra San Miguel. I also hope that all the starters are healthy once again especially Thompson who is really good help on the defense of the team, he can limit Mikey Williams for sure.

Every time there's an import, Brownlee always makes Ginebra better, he already has good chemistry and he played with C. Stand before outside the PBA, so it's not a problem to blend with him. I have a feeling that the never-say-die will be relieved by the next conference as Ginebra is going to give a tough competition with JB playing as their import once again.

Is good to see that Justine is now back to play with his little bro, with him Ginebra really played well. He is there resident import as he really can deliver what the management expectations, history of him with almost same personalities, he can add up the fuel and make the team as one of the favorite to win the new conference.

Though we have seen newly formed TNT, with a newfound spice to strengthen their chance to keep the momentum up, Ginebra needs to have a healthy Thompson to provide tighter defense like how Ross did during the semis. 

Too early but it's good to know that new conference is coming, hope is no longer a bubble

Per news article, Justine Brownlee is available to play as an import in our country, good thing that he didn't play or offered a more lucrative offer in Japan B-league. With his charisma and athleticism, I think there he could unite the disgruntled Ginebra Kings  .

If Christian Standhardinger is still with Ginebra by the start of the second conference, i think the Gins Kings are a little bit stronger because they could execute the run and gun system as the first five will be all athletic.

I just hope though that this next conference will not be a bubble and the crowd will already be allowed to watch live and covid cases continues to declined.

Bubble games recently are actually lifeless to watch, I mean the players are performing well and definitely pumped up to see my favorite players play again after a short while, but having the crowd inside is much more intense, good to see Justin Brownlee playing again and not going to Japan B-League, I saw Japan B-League's games and it wasn't that entertaining in my opinion.

Ginebra will be better as they have Justin Brownlee who will make it possible.
He will just need to hold the ball and score for the team, he can average at least 30 points per game if he wants to, and if the locals will struggle again, it's not a problem as they know JB is very reliable.

I just hope though that this next conference will not be a bubble and the crowd will already be allowed to watch live and covid cases continues to declined.

This is a great improvement and will bring back the excitement of watching the game as the fans will energize the game.

[Hypnosis00]

So when are we going to see the next conference, I'm excited to see a new one.

There are rumors that it will be by mid-November, is it already confirmed now?

Does anyone here have some information regarding the start of the new conference and its setup?
