2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

No update with his comeback, but he's on the bench during the finals. Though he's not in uniform but he fully supports the team and gives them some boost while cheering at the sideline. Base from the last repost, he is still in pain and he's trying to condition his body and with the therapies that he is undergoing right now, maybe we can expect him back after this new season (hopefully)

I think Romeo is already healthy, we might see him in the next conference, and just imagine, SMB won the championship even without him, just think how good the SMB having a healthy Romeo. Also, if he is still not ready, there's no pressure on him as the current roster can still manage to win.

There's no announcement yet, so it's just an speculation we have here. We love to see him playing again as we miss his fancy moves, for sure he can still play, maybe not a starting 5 but as part of the 2nd unit, they will be so scary because they look like a starting 5 for a weak teams.

Romeo plays a big role on their team and no matter how successful the team is, things would still be different with him playing and performing. I hope he'll get himself ready because lots of fans are still waiting for his comeback and to be honest, SMB will still be a big threat when he's on the team.

Romeo understands his role after being traded to SMB. He knows when the coach calls him to play, and unlike with Northport, before where he knows that he's one of the starters. He adjusted a lot for SMB and the returned for him was winning a title and a final's MVP. We are not sure though if he will be back just like what I've mentioned no update yet on his return the only good thing is he already recovering and the chance of seeing him dancing again is not by far, maybe another conference but might possible that it won't take another year for him to be back inside the court, hopefully when he comes back he already have that full recovery and the same Romeo that we are always wanted to see, he's still young and still on his prime.

Romeo plays a big role on their team and no matter how successful the team is, things would still be different with him playing and performing. I hope he'll get himself ready because lots of fans are still waiting for his comeback and to be honest, SMB will still be a big threat when he's on the team.

With how SMB performs last season, we know that they are still hungry for more title and if possible, maybe chasing for another grand slam is very possible for them with their current lineup. Though coach Leo mentioned from his interview that this upcoming season with the imports they've got 50% more while other teams have 100% upgrade with their respective imports, what he means by that is imports can guard Fajardo and that lessen their advantage unlike with all-Filipino Fajardo is really the big edge of the team.

[blockman]

Yes, he is still injured and recovering, it was not just a simple back spasm, but a slip disc. So he needed to take sometime out, and rehab that back so there is no timeline for his return because it is a serious injury that needed to be taken care of. And so we are still going to miss him, he said that he still nursing that injury and only 40-50%. So he need to sit it out before he can practice with SMB again.

Ouch, that's still a lot for him to go until he comes back in action. Well, still, with his injury he's still receiving salary from the SMB and he has chosen them over the B League opportunity so I guess that's what he's getting from his loyalty to the team.

Thanks, guys.
We'll still miss him for the next season to come. And what we know with these injuries, when a player gets it and it's hard, we may expect him that he's not going to be full back on his former him.

Yes, no timetable for him to comeback, only him can say that he wants to play again if he feels healthy. At least SMB won and that is good enough for him. Of course, he wants to contribute, but his health is the most important thing for him. And it's good that he remain loyal as least to the PBA because we may have more time to see him perform, we will just have to wait. He brings a lot for SMB if he will comeback and play, so for sure, they are going to be one of the favorite to win again.

[Shamm]

This upcoming season is the best season to watch because there are a lot of teams who getting stronger and stronger plus the import they have has a average height of 6 foot 10  which is the big advantages of every team to have a good import.

With how SMB perfoms last season, we know that they are still hungry for more title and if possible, maybe chasing for another grand slam is very possible for them with their current lineup.

Yes you are right that mate SMB aiming for more champions but this season is a challenge season for them because as we all know that every team has an import and those imports has the ability to guard fajardo and other imports ad well so we can see a good matchup this season.

I think Romeo is already healthy, we might see him in the next conference, and just imagine, SMB won the championship even without him, just think how good the SMB having a healthy Romeo. Also, if he is still not ready, there's no pressure on him as the current roster can still manage to win.

Even though the projected timeline of Terrence Romeo's return is 2 months after that last injury (June-August), I think he's still not in his 100% shape currently.

I don't see him playing until the mid-half of the upcoming conference.

Regardless, SMB is still a powerhouse team even if they extend the recovery period for Romeo. They can deploy him a few games remaining in the eliminations or go straight into the playoffs.

More like in the playoffs, they need a 100% Romeo so he can really help the team. SMB will surely reach the playoffs with the present lineup, so there's nothing to worry, Romeo could just continue with his rehabilitation and be 100% comes the playoffs time.

Seeing him 100% is quite entertaining, but let's hope that he won't be injured again as, during his stay with the SMB, he has been injured many times already. IIRC, he won a finals MVP, so you can really tell his value in the playoffs.

But for me they will use that as a good challenge to perform more, knowing that the addition of those imports will really give them a tough matchup but SMB is a well-design squad they are ready to play and I'm seeing that Fajardo is not done yet, he still providing space and get an easy basket each time the team needs him.

Indeed, the value of having him is quite high. His impact when playing creates more options. He knows how to find Fajardo and Tau, while if he needs to attack the basket or shoot outside, he's always having that. We need to wait for the final update and if he's going to be playing this season or on the next PBA openings.

I'm seeing videos now coach Yeng training the ROS roster. Looks like his return to his old team is hyped, hopefully this would have a good result and ROS will once again be a competitive team like they were in the past.

I'm guessing, maybe this will be his last team before he will retire.

Because fans missed him, ROS were really a great team when coach Yeng was still the coach, and slowly they transformed into a trash team when coach Yeng left he team, so the expectation is really high, he better not disappoint the fans.

I'm guessing, maybe this will be his last team before he will retire.

At his age, most probably he will retire as a ROS.

So for those who are asking about the new coach of NLEX, the name is already revealed.

NLEX taps Adonis Tierra as interim coach

To be honest, I don't know this coach but since the management trusted him, then I wish them the best and I hope NLEX will still remain as a team that could compete against the heavy names in the NBA.

I can't see any affiliate about their new coach aside from he's a former PBA player and drafter as number 2 before, that could be the reason why NLEX trust him for one year contract. Well, there's a lot of good imports that other teams are able to get, and I hope NLEX also got one because they have a good local players already, they just need to execute it properly every game. With this new coaching staff, let's see if they will become more competitive especially now that a new team will also come in PBA.

That's better for NLEX because there's not much expectation, so if this interim coach will fail, they can just look for another coach to improve the team. When coach Yeng arrived in NLEX, there are huge expectations from him but he failed that's why he goes back to his old team.

Expectation vs reality and coach Yeng did not suitable for the NLEX team because his system was not capable for the players that's why they will not  reach the magic 4 last season. Also maybe that's a good decision that coach yeng go back to his old team because if he is there for sure a big chance of winning is weaving next season, because they already have a bonding and build a chemistry from the old players in Rain or Shine.

I'm seeing videos now coach Yeng training the ROS roster. Looks like his return to his old team is hyped, hopefully this would have a good result and ROS will once again be a competitive team like they were in the past.

Red Bull Barako and Rain-Or-Shine before it's not just about being handled by a good Coach Yeng but their roster is really deep during their prime day. Seeing the current ROS roster and they are not involved in some trading nowadays, I doubt Coach Yeng can turn the team competitive again.

The team needs to reshuffle their roster but I doubt ROS will pay decent money to sign a caliber player that can act as their main man. Hoping that their signed import next conference is one of the best and can bring a boost for the team.

NLEX is good during the 2021-22 Governors Cup because of their import of KJ McDaniels. They beat most of the top teams in that conference.

Unfortunately, because of the pandemic and Governor's Cup always halted, McDaniels didn't finish his PBA stint and need to return home.

If only they can hire an import with the same power skills like McDaniels, they can compete again with those top teams.

You are correct, the current lineup is not that competitive compared with SMB and MVP teams, they are way far from these two giant companies, though coach Yeng may add good motivation but if the franchise is not willing to spend more money for much deeper squad, the chance is slim for them, unless the import that they will going to have this season can lift them.

I hope that James Yap will play good minutes now with coach Yeng. I'm looking forward to hear his name again before he retires his jersey.

I remember that. It was saddened that McDaniels needs to choose his family over his work because of the pandemic. They almost have that title chased, but unfortunately he needs to go home and be replaced and the chase didn't work in their favor. Hope to see them with the kind of import who will bring them to that level and give them the title.

There’s no rumor about retirement, they are too focused now on the hype and probably will make ROS great again with a help of those hype. They have to get a good players to catch up with the big teams, now with their old coach I think their system will start to improve. There’s no announcement yet with this, and maybe this will just a hype at all, let’s see this upcoming conference imports are really looking good and interesting to see new imports.
