2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[carlisle1]

As of now, Philippines is starting to gain back to normal and no reports of this new variant.
For that, I think the schedules will be intact and people are really excited to watch again, including me.

That's great news, we should be optimistic that one day the PBA will be allowed the audience in the arena to watch the game so we can finally say we are slowly going back to normal....

and just read the news. a really good one.

PBA to welcome back fans next week upon return to Big Dome

THE PBA is headed back 'home' by next week.

The pro league was finally given the go signal by the Quezon City local government to play its Governors Cup games at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, where fans will also be welcomed back to the games.

Commissioner Willie Marcial made the announcement on Friday night after the Alaska-San Miguel game at the Ynares Arena in Pasig City, which had hosted the first two weeks of the import-flavored conference.

Games will be played at the Big Dome starting on Dec. 15 until the end of the year, including the final leg and grand finals of the PBA 3x3 tournament.

Very nice to hear that they are now at home.

Once the fans will be allowed watching this live games, I'm pretty sure that players will love hearing the cheering of their fans.

It's been two long years since the pandemic hit our country, PBA bring the game with the bubble set up, the fan is not the same though,

maybe this is the start of more great news from PBA.

Looking forward to see and hear real crowds from the fans, but still safety protocols should highly practice.

Indeed, good thing that the booster shots will work because these shots were created in the first place before omnicron variant was born. The IATF should allow these because it's part of their plan to boost the economy again in the Philippines, but I think just a 70% capacity because we know that these PBA games are played indoor. As of now, Philippines is starting to gain back to normal and no reports of this new variant.

They do work and now that the news came about the PBA is coming back to the big dome after getting a permit from the LGU of Quezon City, well, that's what we've been talking about. The IATF has already given the signal and the LGU has already given the permission, this is good news. And those fans that are longing to watch it live will surely purchase tickets as soon as they saw it available. Well done, to the LGU and as well as government, not politicking anything but just appreciating what was done.

The game between Northport Batang Pier and NLEX Road Warriors is intense.
NLEX Import KJ McDaniels 40 points production on which 11 is on overtime, they able to escape the close game with the Batang Pier. With that win, they now established a clean 2-0 record to start the conference. If able to maintain that import's dominance, I hope NLEX will be one of the teams that can manage to give problems to those big teams.

Northport decided to exclude their import on the starting lineup. I don't know what they are thinking.

Really great game. This was a really close match and only five points difference into overtime got the results. I think the decision that you mentioned about NorthPort was a valid point, because I also cannot understand what they were planning to do with that move. It is really strange why they decided to exclude their import !  But hats off to road warriors as they were onto it from the start.

Not sure what plan the coaching staff in mind, but it was still good as they managed to push the game into OT, but on the contrary if they place their import in their starting five maybe they will be able to edge away and snatched this game from NLEX, moving on, it's just another game to workout for NP.

They need to talk things out and assess if how they will bounce back on their next game..

Best of luck to all bettors..

Maybe they are already planning to replace their import as they are not getting the expectation, that's alright, it's too early but they need to make the right move as they are already in a 2 losing streak.

We have games today.

1st game - Phoenix vs Blackwater
2nd game - Rain or Shine vs DYIP

It's a good move to not start an import but it's just 2 games. They should allow the import to adopt the phase of the game. Their import is the most highest-paid player on the roster and they should utilize it. If let's say 4-5 games, still not improving, time now to replace him rather than get him from the bench.

Let's see if that strategy can be effective. It's just that if I have an Import, I will allow him to play 48 minutes per game to adopt the PBA environment. Northport should give him a trial at least.

That's a wonderful time news since many people want to see an actual game then now is the time.
But besides that what happens to setting capacities is it still social distancing or not?
Cause is this case many people want to saw PBA games. And I think that as they came back to the some there's a new rules and policies inside the dome.
But I do hope in 2022 we will back to normal.some games of PBA Will not stay in one arena. Like before they play in different part of the Philippines.

[chaser15]

Starting next week, PBA will now allow live audiences in Araneta Coliseum. The requirements are people should already complete their vaccine doses. We know that the PBA live audiences are not that much even before pandemic unless it's Finals or Ginebra is playing. We hope that the return of audiences will boost their revenue to cover those losses in the bubble operation for 2 seasons.

Even I think only a few will watch live for now because of safety reasons, it's good to see that we are now slowly going back to normal.

[harizen]

Just for a follow-up on PBA now allowing the live audience, it's not only Araneta Coliseum but also the MOA Arena in Pasay. Same with Quezon City, the Pasay City also approved PBA to held games there with audiences although it's likely next year to happen as the schedule on Araneta is now fixed.

To be exact, it's on Wednesday next week where PBA will be back on their original home arena which they last played last March 2020, the month where the NCR lockdown was implemented.

Fans welcome back as PBA games return to Big Dome

It really is. Expect that every event that will happen at this time of covid-19, all of it are going to require proper and minimum health standards such as social distancing. I guess it will only happen if there are really few and isolated cases or there are no more. Despite many fans are wanting to watch it live, they're for sure know these minimum health standard requirements that they have to follow and comply. Well, everyone has been waiting for this to happen and there it goes.

2nd game - Rain or Shine vs DYIP

This game is getting more interesting as it went to OT, still live now, don't forget to watch.. I'm watching via smart live streaming as it's clear than watching on our local cable. Great game so far, I hope that ROS will win here.

Edit : wrong choice, Alex Cabagnot is killing ROS.

Still few, due to this pandemic, people are also concerned about Omicron, though there are also fans who missed the game,
those who already completed their vaccines and an avid fan of certain team or player, they will take chances to watch the game in a live set up.

Glad to see that PBA is now back at home with live fans to cheer and add the energy for the team to play harder.

PBA needs to do something as they got lots of losses from the last 2 years of pandemic, bubble setting ain't enough.

I don't think people are concerned with getting infected with the virus, if the government did not impose restrictions, we might still see a number of people going to public places despite the increase of virus spread. Now, that the audience is allowed already, expect that it will be soon the same as the NBA where the crowd is not anymore doing social distancing and wearing masks because they are confident they won't get sick as they are already vaccinated.

Knowing how hard-headed pinoy was, it's no surprise if after PBA allow live audiences we might not see proper implementations of safety protocols maybe from the gate they will show respect but after getting inside wild crowds if there's still interest will break those rules, just look how politicians are breaking the safety protocols.

Sorry to drag them here but I just showing example of how crowds are unable to control when excitement is already in them.

Hope for the best regarding to this decision.

Hope that the vaccines are effective enough to prevent people from getting sick by the virus. As the virus will stay and vaccine will only improve our immune system, so it will still spread that's why it's encourage that everyone should take the vaccine so we can go back to normal, and here, we are already seeing an improvement that we are going back to normal.

We don’t know the real numbers though since some people who have the mild symptoms are not going to clinic anymore for Covid testing they are over confident especially if they already have the vaccine. Maybe, we can see the live audience here in PBA once we vaccinated the whole target of our government especially with the booster shot or else, we might still not see this until next year.

Finally! this is the day that we all have been waiting for, it's time to see Brownlee playing again.

No betting odds yet as of now but for sure that will be up today.

Schedule for today as per their official website.

04:00 PM - Northport vs SMB
06:45 PM - Alaska vs Ginebra

Well, we will see how welcoming the fans are with their back with the audience. About the 2 doses, it's actually expected that they won't allow any unvaccinated or incomplete vaccinated person on the live audience. This is going to be the new normal that events and places will require those 2 doses and even might be with a booster if the situation would be that bad. But I don't think that we'll be going there, the situation is starting to get lower and better this time.
They'll might create promos like barkada promos just to attract more watchers live.

That's right, we are not disciplined enough so most likely lots of audiences will just break the minimum protocol which is the social distancing and wearing of masks. I'm sure the IATF already sees this possibility and yet they still allowed the crowd, so probably the threat is not that high anymore.

This could be more exciting to see them playing and seriously this match is not easy for them since Alaskas is also compose of great players. This is what I love about professional basketball in our country, every teams have their own strengths and the underdogs really have the chance to upset the top teams. Looking forward for a more active imports to go all out and play their best.
